Yeah, the websites/apps were the different front ends. But you were still streaming HBO. The movies and shows were the same, and if you had one it would be redundant to get the other. Max was introduced as an expanded library for Now, but eventually replaced both and Go was discontinued.
Streaming apps have their own catalogs and backends (although most of them license “all the music”).
A reasonable question, but I wouldn’t be able to fit my family in the Skoda. I know, I’ve tried. Getting two kids, two dogs, and the associated accoutrements around town just isn’t possible in a hatchback. The Minivan is an attractive option, but the hills and snowy winters in my neck of the woods suggest an AWD vehicle. The smallest car I considered was the Subaru Outback, and even that’s not particularly compact.
If we had viable public transit options, things would be different. We could travel via train on vacations, or take the bus about town for errands and appointments. If we had sidewalks and bike lanes, we could take advantage of good weather and get a little exercise to boot. We would probably still own a large car, but we would drive it less.
I want some scientific research into this, because I believe the twist and tuck is as good as any other method of sealing the bag, and it’s faster and requires no accessories, clips, or tools.
Akshually, they were different front ends accessing essentially the same library of content. Go was included with your cable subscription, and Now was a streaming license you could purchase separately. They weren’t really different products, just different payment options.
There’s one big one missing, no viable public transit options. America has half a rail system and a tenth of the bussing it actually needs. We’re blessed and cursed with an abundance of space, and we sprawled out across the land on the assumption that everyone would have a car.
There isn’t an easy fix. It’s not just a matter of adding more busses, it’s where and how people live and work. It’s how highways and neighborhoods are laid out. I’m fortunate to live close to a rail hub, but I still have to drive there from my house, and I would need a car at any destination. We don’t even have sidewalks or bike lanes between here and there.
I don’t think they were counting the middle one.
This is a safe space to vent, so we’re not going to remove your posts, but try to keep it in a single post next time. Four posts in rapid succession looks like spam or trolling.
Also, you seem to be seeking out downvotes and want people to attack you. I don’t know why you would want that, but you seem to have misunderstood what Lemmy is. This ain’t reddit.
“No” is a complete sentence.
Using a human shield is abhorrent. Shooting the human shield is also bad.
Running for local, state, or congress sucks balls. You’re basically a beggar, you have almost no power, you are beholden to your sponsors and party leadership, and you’re expected to work long hours campaigning for shit you barely care about while pet issues get lost in the shuffle. Most of your time is on the phone making promises you won’t keep to people who don’t believe you. The rest of your time is spent in transit. Everyone hates you, you’re surrounded by morons, and if you can’t even sneeze on camera without your opponents posting the ugly sneeze face photo on twitter.
Basically, the DNC has to beg candidates to keep them around. One reward they like to dangle is support from the national committee. Blocking primary challengers helps the candidate save some cash make makes their re-election seem inevitable. It’s a massive weight off, especially for younger politicians with few fonnections and fewer leverage options.
Is it right? Fuck no. I agree with you completely. But I can certainly understand why, if I were st the top of that ant hill, I wouldn’t want climbers to get a foothold, either.
Have you ever watched these sessions? I’m getting sleepy just remembering one time I was flipping through channels and ran out of batteries in the remote and we were stuck on C-SPAN for a few minutes, or several days. I can’t honestly say how long it was.
Jaws permanently changed our dynamic with an entire species and the ocean in general, and with just two notes.
I feel like Luca and Elemental were produced with international audiences in mind. A lot of visual gags, simple language, basic plots, easy to translate, inoffensive stereotypes, etc. Coco was vibrant and fun with complex characters and a twisty plot. They even dropped in plenty of adult humor and mature themes.
Remember, the fascists don’t declare fascism. They declare anti-fascism illegal.
Yeah, back in the day, you didn’t need to be a manager to generate upward mobility. You could work 40 hours a week and pay for a house, a car, and a college education without going into debt.
I wouldn’t even guess at the statistics of nutritional education, but I would believe you that most people don’t know about algae oil. What I’m saying is that there exist a significant number of people who do know about the inherent cruelty of factory farming, and the availability of cruelty-free alternatives, and they still won’t change their habits or consumption. It’s not a big secret anymore, and the internet exists to provide all information to anyone who wants it.
It’s like assuming Americans use the imperial measurements because they don’t know about metric. Sure, many Americans don’t know the metric system, but just learning it exists and understanding the advantages doesn’t compel Americans to switch.
Going vegan is a disruption. At a minimum, it means changing the groceries you buy. It means reading ingredients and scanning menus at all your favorite restaurants. It means depriving yourself of some previous enjoyment.
There are many people who don’t know the extent of cruelty. There are many people who are unaware of their options. And there are many people who, upon learning these things, immediately change their consumption behaviors because the thought of enjoying food or products that come from suffering is abhorrent. For OP, just knowing that suffering is not required for survival is enough motivation to stop consuming animal products. My point is that it is a mistake to assume that the same knowledge would move the needle for most people.
I said I don’t want to guess at statistics, but let’s do a thought experiment. Imagine you went to a barbeque and told everyone standing around that you had a video showing how the animals people are eating are treated. How do you suppose people would react to you offering to show them that video? How many would watch it? How many would react with anger and disgust because they already know what’s in the video? How many of them would trade their burger for a veggie patty?
My point is, it’s not that they don’t know. People know. People don’t want to think about it. And yes, share the info and maybe a few more people stop eating meat. I’m not suggesting that you or OP shouldn’t share information. All I’m saying is that if you expect it to be enough, you’re setting yourself up for a lot of disappointment.
I believe a majority of Americans are too disconnected from the process and from history to understand why calling someone a king is bad. It’s simply not a message that resonates with most Americans. The fact that Trump and his supporters will turn it into lube for jerking off is just further proof it’s not the right message, and the fact that you don’t care what he or they think is further proof how far out of your depth you are in this fight. You still think you can win by making the better argument and gathering a larger group of supporters.
And you’re not going to reach them by stroking his ego and chasing his laser pointer around.
Dictator. Criminal. Lotta words that are far more accurate.
You’re right, but I would wager they thought that statement was too stupid to be considered a reason.
