    Cord-Cutting, Or How to Stream your Way to Success

    I think it will impact them in that they will realize how many people don't consider it worth it to get a subscription if they were just using a friends login from time to time. They'll have some sub increase I'm sure, but it's not going to be what they are hoping for.

    There are a lot of reasons. One is that the streaming services are all competing for the same user base, so there's a race to the bottom on price. For instance. I have HBO Max, and Paramount +, and pay for neither because they were free with other things I was getting. These subscriptions...

    Health Problems

    So last week I had to have surgery. Multiple cystic formations in my left leg. Doc told me after it looks like something called Hidradenitis suppurativa, which at first I thought sounding like a really expensive strain of pot... But it turns out it means my sweat glands basically hate me...

    You are SERIOUSLY overestimating how many people still have a media player for physical media anymore. And yes I am including talking about Xbox/PS/gaming platforms.

    So. I'm loitering on the cesspool which is FaceBook since that's where all the really olds in my existence (like my mom) are. And I now see they have "short videos" as a section, looks like trying to bridge the FB/Insta/TikTok chasm in some way. Cool, whatever, it suggests these random...

    Nope, it won't even do the one which WOULD be promoting a black American.. photorealistic picture of mount Rushmore, replacing the face of Washington with the face of Clarence Thomas That generates the "Against TOS" warning.

    The Flash (2023)

    I think there's a good middle ground between what the MCU does (every phase leads to a huge universe threatening thing and massive team up) and completely disconnected movies. The movies can exist in the same universe, but not have to intersect except what a natural story arc makes sense for...

    Thank you! That is what I was thinking, but sometimes I see numbers and either they look WAY too optimistic, or WAY too pessimistic. 12 months from now lines up to what I'm seeing and thinking on one of the stocks I am looking at. Which I know is just walking/talking confirmation bias... But...

    OK. I am pretty sure I asked this in here once a long time ago, but I seem to be a special combination of lazy and stupid that seems to prevent me from finding the answers and this is an "investment 101" style question but one I have always wondered about... When an organization (like an...

    Yeah, you'd have to combine it with space travel. Get to a safe place to hop, then fly back to Earth. Personally, I've had a lot of shit tier things I've had to deal with in my life, but there are a couple things I wouldn't risk losing by changing my own timeline. Now, going back and...

    Justified: City Primeval

    They have to give him some reasons to have real "stakes" in play in Chicago. In Kentucky it was his family and ties to the place he was raised... They can't leverage "place he was raised" here so it goes to family. It would either be that or kill off his old boss at the hands of this new...

    Also a core problem they have is that they have forgotten who the core comic book movie fans are in an effort to try to get people who aren't that into them. You can tell that in that they went with the Blue Beetle that most people still look at and say.. "Well.. if it ain't Ted Kord, it ain't...

    I will admit that there's a symmetry at work here. Keaton and Batman 89 was what really launched the idea for many that big comic book heroes (outside Superman) could be done into big movies. Having Keaton show up in this as we are apparently nearing what many consider the twilight age of...

    Found out last week that I have a recurring cluster of cystic formations on the inside of my left leg. Going to have to have surgery at the end of this monthto clear them out so they'll stop the "Grow, burst, drain, repeat" cycle. Apparently letting them do that just makes them bigger each...
