Not to mention the creator of GIF prefers the JIF pronunciation.

It doesn’t really matter, but I find the hard g folks have a stick up their ass about it.

I haven’t started laughing yet…

Thanks! That’s all I was looking for… appreciate you!

I still left Reddit and unity and haven’t returned. Some people do care. Not everyone is indifferent.

But the direction is certainly heading towards the realm of cable prices…

• Netflix: $15.49
• Amazon Prime Video: $14.99
• Apple TV+: $6.99
• HBO Max: $15.99
• Disney+: $10.99
• Hulu: $14.99

Total: $79.44 per month

So maybe when you account for inflation it is still only half of what cable costs,.perhaps. but those are the cheaper plans. For HDR support for Netflix it’s like $25, and it’s the reason I cancelled Netflix.

I don’t think the meme is dumb, just ahead of it’s time, but it’s calling out what is certainly happening.

Most streaming services now include ads in the paid subscription.

Inch the ad ratio and prices up another 40% and we are getting pretty close to cable experience/cost. And that’s only a few years away when we look at how much costs have raised over the last 10 yrs.

If each service raises price $1/month every year and you have 6 services, then in 5 yrs you’re paying $30 more per month, prob around $100+.

2. Get off social media
3. Get off social media

Real question: what do anarchists expect society to do/become and why is it better?

The more we don’t tip the more it becomes normalized. I’ve stopped tipping all counter service other than bartenders. At first I felt guilty but the more I did it the more it became normal to me.
