Honestly nationalism for the US has always been kinda gross to me. We've never really had much to be proud of as a nation historically.

No, they're there for crimes. the issue is that the crimes are often fucking stupid and these people don't deserve to be in the prison system for them. Doing drugs should not land you in prison. Period. It shouldn't even be illegal to do drugs. People who have an addiction problem should be receiving treatment. Not punishment. But we have a prison slave population we need to maintain in order to keep the owners of private prisons' wallets fat.

I've been kinda wanting the progressives to split off from dems for a while now but honestly the shitty dems splitting off from progressives is probably better. Let the people that actually want to do right by their constituents keep the democratic party. All those "center left" people can go create their bullshit third party and fuck off. You won't hear me complain.

While that's definitely true it's not like there are any streaming platforms paying artists what they actually deserve. Other streaming services do payout slightly more per stream but they also don't have the number of paying users Spotify has. So you're likely going to make more off of spotify than any other service even if they do payout less per stream.

Not defending spotify though. Them and the record labels are absolute scum. Just making the point that if you want artists to benefit from you listening to their music just buy their music outright. Or go see them live if you can. Don't stream it. Because streaming pays basically nothing no matter where you stream it from.

Um, good?

There's so many depressing layers to that joke. Like a sad, sad capitalist onion laughing at its own rotting core.

Wait, the authors argued that? Why? That's literally the opposite of the thing they needed to argue.

There's a Ferengi woman wearing a lovely dress scribbled in the margins.

The idea that he doesn't know how to properly use his own social media platform is honestly hilarious.

Wait. There's crab in immitation crab meat? I though it was just some variety of white fish or something.

Heavily depends on where you live. I live near a big city on the east coast in a largely Blue state. I have 1 gig FiOS internet (up and down). In my area Comcast and Verizon compete for customers so our speeds here are alright. But there are plenty of areas in the US that have absolutely abysmal internet. Either because the area is rural so not much infrastructure has been built up or because the ISP in that area holds a monopoly on the market and doesn't have to increase speeds to keep their customers. I've heard horror stories of people being stuck with like sub 10mbps because there are just no other options.

Yeah, that's just what Netflix does. They cancel shows. I'm skeptical that the cancelation decision was made because of gaiman's allegations. If it was I don't see how continuing production on season 2 after the fact makes any sense.
