  • I was a long time subscriber as well, but canceled right before Christmas 2022. I missed it for about a week and then I realized most things I “needed immediately” from Amazon I could either 1) drive across town to purchase from brick and mortar or 2) actually just wait for it.

    The end result has been me buying less things I don’t need, and buying the things I do need from local retailers (and of course big box stores), or ordering them from other online retailers since the shipping is comparable to Amazon.

    2 years in and I don’t miss it at all, will never go back. I do want to watch the Fallout series though.


  • If it’s all stuff he really does in real life, how could he sue over it? If it’s factual, you can’t sue. Well you could but you’d lose because South Parks lawyers would say “show me what we said that wasn’t true”

    If it’s its fictional and they clearly state at the beginning of the episode that it’s fictional and you should not assume it’s true, it’s going to be really hard to convince a judge that they were trying to trick people into thinking something was true in order to harm you.

    The first amendment allows you to make fun of people, especially if you say “we’re just being silly and none of this is serious” beforehand










  • Apple is now the most valuable company on earth, so I think you’re not making the point you think you’re making. Publicly traded companies act only based on what increases the value of their shares the most. If the current CEO isn’t seen as the most profitable CEO for the shareholders, they will eventually be replaced, even if they founded the company. That is a risk you knowingly take when taking your company public. Most founders choose the money that comes with an IPO, knowing they’ll eventually get the boot.

    1. Pay $0 to use a product from a business that is losing money
    2. Business makes a policy change to try to convince you their product is worth paying for, but still let’s you use a version of it for FREE
    3. Wow this company sucks, I’ve given them nothing and they’re taking everything away

    In a capitalist society you speak with your money. It’s the only language businesses speak. If you’re not giving a company any money they’re not going to cater their product to you, plain and simple.
