cjsolx,

But taking money away from employees is?

cjsolx,

I’m Pretty sure they’re speaking hypothetically, as if they were the artificial brain.

cjsolx,

Or maybe proper care for a kid really does cost $20k a year and half the population could not care for one without assistance or a partner to help cover those costs.

Plenty of children go without in this country.

cjsolx,

That’s a 9/10 stick you got there buddy, would def take it hiking.

cjsolx,

Maybe everyone’s a completionist and would rather play the games in order rather than jump into the story halfway through ¯_(ツ)_/¯

cjsolx,

Well yeah you can understand most stories without reading/hearing the first part and it’s not like Legend of Zelda is exactly Moby Dick.

cjsolx,

What gets me is that yeah that’s their excuse, but if someone treated, say, an orangutan or a baboon like this I’d think that was pretty fucked up too. We were so gross. We still are (dog fighting, circus elephants etc) but the cruelty that we’re capable of without what is essentially moral peer pressure, is chilling to think about. Even today we fight tooth and nail against moral progress and treating everyone with respect.

cjsolx,

Lol, it is easier to distinguish between people of your own culture, that’s been tested. That said, it was a real dumb thing to say.

cjsolx,

If you’re comparing China/Taiwan circumstances to USA/Panama I’m sorry but I cannot call that a critical thought. The only similarity is proximity.

cjsolx,

There’s nothing to understand, it’s the same situation. Neither Panama nor Cuba are currently under threat from the USA. The USA does not claim ownership over either, and is not threatening their sovereignty.

You’re the one not understanding the false equivalency.

cjsolx,

It would be irksome, sure. But there is no amount of weaponry that China could supply Cuba with that would threaten the USA (short of nukes), so it would be a moot point. Business as usual. Taiwan similarly has no hope of success in attacking China, regardless of how many weapons the USA provides. Meaning: this only works one way, and if China is upset about that then maybe they should keep their eyes (and hands) within their own borders and everything will be fine.

cjsolx,

and it doesn’t run spyware.

Probably the biggest draw that the OC was missing.

cjsolx,

Shit. I saw a few shows that were on HBO Max elsewhere (Netflix?) recently and was like ??? but yeah, that makes sense. When Westworld left, I took it as a one-off but I guess not.

cjsolx,

So, in a little over a year everyone in the USA will be shot? 875K people are shot daily?

cjsolx,

I got $29 from the Intuit class-action suit. Yay. Pretty sure they charged more than that when I submitted my taxes that year. I was dumb.

cjsolx,

There is such a vast amount of random crap being uploaded, that the content creators that actually generate views, hence revenue, must bear a huge sinkhole of costs for youtube.

There are better ways around this than by doubling the price for everyone and continuing to allow unlimited BS uploads for free. They charge $1.99 for 100GB of storage for email and photos. I guess it never occurred to them to include a minor barrier like this that most legitimate aspiring content creators would be willing to pay but would stop randos posting 10 hour long videos in 4K.

cjsolx,

The first 4 seasons of GOT are some of the best in TV history. Seasons 5-6 are good, but that’s when some of the tropes start to get overplayed and you see corners being cut. I should have stopped then, but I still had hope that they would rescue it. Nope.

cjsolx,

It probably isn’t. Which is such a shame because you’re gonna miss out on 40 episodes of legitimately some of the best TV ever made. But that makes the let-down so much worse when it comes.

cjsolx,

You’re proud of this, but you missed out. There truly was a golden age where it was easier to pay $8 for streaming and everyone was happy. Good for you for being Nostradamus and everything, but there was a good ~8 years there where you really could have enjoyed the ride if you wanted.

cjsolx,

It was the reason I came back to Spotify when I decided to give Pandora a shot, way back when.

cjsolx,

Right. Two minutes is nothing. I live in Florida my water bill for 4 people is $50. Water conservation is the very very least of my worries.

Maybe if there was a way for me to send my hypothetically unused water over to Cali I’d care more, but.

cjsolx,

We have the technology

And abundant resources. But our approach to things like this will not change as long as money is king.

cjsolx,

Okay so is anyone going to elaborate, or…?

cjsolx,

Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it!
