They won’t kill it, just like it hasn’t died so far. The content, viewer demographics, and algorithm continue to shift. There’s too much money with all the ads and subscription fees. Most people view some content on it by default.

Its gonna be the new cable TV in a way. Kinda sucks, some good stuff on it, but mostly slop filled with ads. And everyone will still use it. Even if they block all 3rd party access, people like me are still going to use it to some limited degree. There will be a video about how to fix a random plumbing fitting that is leaking in my house, or how to fix some random thing on my 15 year old car.

Not signing back up for Hulu after I canceled, fuck em

Could it be your carrier somehow doing that? I’ve literally never had that happen

D or G

D gets you most of Middle Eastern, all of India, most of China, all of South Asia, most of Australia, most of Japan. Huge variety, extremely high number of options, lots of spice availability, lots of meat and nonmeat protein options.

G mostly because of Mexico alone. I’ve traveled there a bunch recently and the food game is insane. You also get the US South (which does have a lot of great food outside of deep fried everything), Spain, Portugal, and Morocco.

C gets an honorable mention mostly because of southeast Europe. That whole area has been a crossroads for a very long time.

Did any of them involve a massive government scandal involving violation of basic rights supposedly guaranteed by said government?

I’ll also take it with a grain of salt, but the difference here is that I personally know people who have cancelled. With prior boycotts I never really did, save for maybe some people shopping at Target less.

A big plus is that I can actually interact with people here in a usually lighthearted manner. You can still find that on Reddit, but it is extremely hard to do now unless you have some extremely niche interests.

I ended up being a bit of a hypocrite by not cancelling Hulu when Disney bought them. I gave money to Big Mouse. Not anymore.

Target stock is down but it is hard to tell. There have been some mismanaged Target stores in my general area that have closed, but there are also many that seem to be run well and are always full of people. You can compare it to Walmart but I don’t think it is a 1:1 comparison since most Walmart locations are also full blown grocery stores and they typically have more locations in suburb/exurb/rural areas that have fewer shopping options.

I did blow $300 on headphones mostly because I was extremely underwhelmed with bass on cheaper ones. That’s where I’m at - research the best thing for my use case in my budget, and sometimes my budget increases based on my research.

There’s been some twitter accounts! Meanwhile the KKK still exists and has never been declared a terrorist organization despite being an outright terrorist organization

Are nerds all audiophiles tho? 320kbps is usually fine. $300 speakers are usually fine. Nerds do the research, audiophiles are seeking unobtanium.

One of my favorite recent memories is someone tapping into the YouTube app on a powered display Saumsung fridge in Home Depot and blasting Caramelldansen. Happened about a year ago. It was surprisingly loud!

I used to never want a fridge with any sort of icemaker or water dispenser. The place I moved into came with a fridge that has an icemaker in the freezer and a water dispenser in the fridge. The appliance is approaching 18 years old. There are some modern luxuries that just work so long as they aren’t over complicated.

They actually have fairly cheap and somewhat reliable basic appliances now. I’m still never buying a Samsung fridge with a tablet shoved in the door.

Either that or you rely on Google for literally everything. It can be convenient but I’m growing tired of it, I don’t want my data being potentially leaked in 10000 different ways just so I can open my door easier 4% of time time.

I’m at the Kali Linux peak but at least I’m smart enough to know that I don’t have the capability to do the social engineering aspect so I’m just gonna backtrack to Ubuntu and tie myself to the terminal and actually learn Linux.

The bad take I was referring to was OP claiming the mortgage payment would be lower than the rent payment. In the US this is almost never the case. Edit: we have fixed rate mortgages in the US. My payment will only go up because of taxes or insurance.

It isn’t just that, a ton of subs are complete garbage now. Dumb meme? 15k upvotes.

Fudging the numbers a bit, but let’s say I’m paying $3000/mo for a mortgage. Brokers tell me I can afford $10,000/mo.

I cannot afford $10,000/mo.
