As far as I can tell, it is just habit, laziness and convenience. My wife literally prefers to scroll Hulu for 30 mins and settle on some 10 yr old trashy reality TV show. All in order to avoid browsing Jellyfin. Some people want to be passively fed junk TV, instead of actively seeking out quality shows they intentionally want to watch. She chooses to pay for this kind of interaction. Boggles my mind too.

Second this. Android app called Sleep Cycle changed my life.

Robot Chicken?

War on Terror BS War on Drugs BS

It is a rather long list of BS

2 economic recessions?? If you don’t count anything in the 80s or 90s then you at least have:

Dot com bubble

Subprime mortgage crisis

Covid

Whatever you wanna call what’s been happening the past 2 to 4 years. I don’t care what the stock market says. Working people are experiencing an economic downturn.

2??? WTF

Not OC but I agree with him. Where I live, the toll roads are owned by private corporations, some of them entirely foreign owned corporations, and the rates are obscenely high. It isn’t about maintaining the road; instead it is about rent seeking behavior and maximizing shareholder profits. That is abhorrent to me. Public goods should be owned by the public.

MotoGP. I’ve never met or interacted with anyone else who enjoys it. I freaking love it

Amen! An upvote wasn’t enough. I have not seen this important point discussed anywhere. Not on podcasts, YouTube et al, protest organizations, blogs, social media, editorials, etc etc. Seems obvious to me, but notably absent from social discourse. Thank you for putting it out there!

Agreed. Where do you draw the line between downvoting and potentially feeding the trolls? I’m having a hard time with that. When someone is acting like an ignorant contrarian, I’m inclined to ignore them.

Agreed! I feel like so many disgusting trolls all over the news these days would disappear if we would just stop talking about them. Don’t feed the trolls!

Absolutely can relate. There is nothing more loathsome to me than some bright-eyed, extrovert eager beaver early in the morning
