It’s tribalism, embraced by people who are proud of just barely graduating from animal status.

Yeah I think I’ll just light a match.
In theory I agree with the sentiment, but then I imagine the same people who’re supposed to be keeping oil pipelines from rupturing put in charge of nuclear materials.
One causes more of the other.
Curiosity Show is a goddamned treasure. I will never get tired of these clips.
I’ve always loved that about him.
Certainly not the majority, but being “mainstream” doesn’t require a majority.

The problem is where the mainstream lies. In Islam, the mainstream is fundamentalism. Of course, fundamentalism is a problem for Christianity and every other religion too, but right now that is not the mainstream of those sects. And that is why Islam gets criticized more heavily than other religions.
Fundamentalism is cancerous wherever it lives.
If you like that reality garbage, I won’t yuck your yum, but I enjoyed not having to see any of it. I miss being able to forget that shit like Obese Hoarder Wars or Little Person with 13 Kids exists.
Having to configure settings all over again on every single device pissed me off, especially since the new app didn’t even have subtitles customization of any kind. As someone who uses subtitles for almost all viewing, nothing turns me off of a streaming service faster than being stuck with shitty black bars and gigantic blocky text by default and being unable to change it.
And for fuck’s sake, nobody likes video previews with sound, and you can take your credit-skipping autoplay and shove it up your corporate ass.
I sign into “max” now and get bombarded on the home screen with basic cable reality show trash, and every time that happens it just makes me want to use it less. The only thing keeping me coming back is the occasional Soderbergh project and an as-of-yet still decent catalogue of movies, though even that has dropped off noticeably.
I would drop my subscription if it wasn’t bundled into my phone plan.
For me it’s because of Cinemax - ie Skinemax - which used to be associated with the softcore porn they’d play late at night.
It always mystified me that HBO Max was even able to use that name since it was so evocative of another premium cable network.
Yeah I can’t play for any length of time without using the pro controller. My hands cramp and my finger hurt from the tiny buttons.
It’s a security blanket, and if someone is clinging to it that gives you a good idea of their emotional age.
Specifically, they reject the whole concept of modernity, along with everything it brings.
It’s also important to point out that “not guilty” is only a legal distinction.
Except it just goes in a circle.
