Fair enough.

I mean it’s not like once a show gets multiple seasons in, you can’t watch it. Season 4 was a bit of a let down, but I’m hoping season 5 is a return to form. Overall it’s an excellent show.

This is a bullshit number that you’ve pulled from thin air. Corporations would obviously go for the full 30 years, and by the time it’s getting close to 30 years, they’ll have figured out another loophole to withhold their content from the general population.

Corporations only exist to pull a profit. They do not care about consumers, only their profit margins, shareholders and quarterly turnaround. Dumb comment all round.

Or just pirate everything. The resurgence in piracy has been astronomical because of the streaming wars. I’m loving that aspect.

Season 7 of Slow Horses has already been greenlit and season 5 hasn’t started airing yet lol.

You should watch it. It’s good, despite being based on true events.

Nope. Just on my stock Samsung Galaxy. I think ABC in general was down last night. The link is working fine now.

I like energy drinks and coffee. It’s not really one or the other for me. I also take NoDoz when I don’t want any liquid. They don’t all taste bad. There’s honestly hundreds of different flavours lol.

I can’t access the ABC article. For some reason the website won’t load. Without trying to sound ignorant and arrogant, surely we’d know if people were experiencing toxic levels by now? It’s been multiple decades since energy drinks became a mainstay in society. I know plenty of people who drink multiple daily, sugar, and sugar free.

I’m yet to meet a single person who’s experienced any issues related to b6 toxicity. I do know people who’ve had to cut back their intake due to consuming too much sugar though.

I personally refuse to have the sugar free variants. The majority of them use Sucralose as their sugar replacement and that destroys my guts more than normal sugar. Studies also state it may destroy healthy gut bacteria too. It’s in far too many products, and I’ll take the full sugar version of the alternative every time.

I’m not trying to be facetious, but even watching the fictionalised HBO show Succession gives you at least some idea of how these people think and live.

Sure, it’s a satire, but it’s loosely based on the Murdoch empire.

They do not see us as human beings. They see us as animals that can be influenced via propaganda, and as much as it pains me to say, it works, and he wouldn’t have created the empire he’s worked towards if it didn’t.

He’s almost completed his ultimate goal too, with many Fox hosts now literally holding positions in the US government.

Fox has literally taken over America. I can kind of marvel at it from afar, while being utterly disgusted all the same.

Just pirate content. The streaming wars has fucked consumers hard.

Exactly. He knew where the money and propaganda would flow the best. I hate the cunt, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t at least slightly impressed with the empire he’s built. Even if I hate everything about it.

Occasionally? I’d argue they’ve been making social and political commentary since the shows inception tbh.

I’d argue it’s working perfectly within the system that’s been designed. It’s a completely flawed system, but it works for corporations. Absolutely fucked for society though.

App bloat lol. Meta apps are some of the most bloated and resource hungry apps out there.

I had it for a while. Hard to convince people to use it when it has probably less than 10,000 users.

Not even just a “good case.” It’s scientifically proven. These algorithms tap into the same neural pathways that cause people to have gambling and drug abuse addiction issues.

A VPN should have been my first thought. Rookie error on my part.

Persuading enough people I know to use Signal was hard enough already. I only got lucky because I already had some other friends who were already on the platform. It’s much easier to persuade people if you tell them other people are already using it. I just get frustrated that people are too lazy to tap a couple of buttons on their phone to download an app.

Let’s be honest, season 4 was pretty lacklustre. The whole “the bad guy is my long last father” trope left such a bad taste in my mouth.
