YT Subscriptions, cable providers, streaming, etc., are monetized for profits not content. They will give you minimal quality and maximum garbage because it's profitable and you're willing to pay for it. And that you will pay more for it.. Stop buying this garbage, and maybe things will change.....

Bitcoin is an investment, a bet. If you are stupid enough to buy it, you get what you deserve. I way overpaid for a house in early 2K's. It was a stupid move and I should have known better. You don't get a free pass for being uneducated.

“Despite the tragic altercation in a Florida movie theater, which as reported is an isolated incident, movie theaters are a safe and enjoyable entertainment destination for millions of people,” National Association of Theater Owners spokesman Patrick Corcoran told reporters.
Mayor Vaughn: [to reporter] I'm pleased and happy to repeat the news that we have, in fact, caught and killed a large predator that supposedly injured some bathers. But, as you see, it's a beautiful day, the beaches are open and people are having a wonderful time. Amity, as you know, means "friendship".

Really? On what planet does this occur? In America, we live to monopolize while preaching open markets..... Seriously give me real examples of any industries that have, open competitive markets.... because there aren't any.

Not true. Most modern banks now charge you a fee for cashing their check, if you don't an account with them....

... but are there male slashdot participants hear definding/supporting the ongoing violence against women? Here a woman has publicly denounced a violent act and not shrunk/hidden away from reporting, and doing in a way to shine a light on what continues to be a very real fear for women: violent rape by men. I find it sad that so many "professionals" in this group continue to mindlessly fall in line with the same norms that allowed generations before us to treat women as less than equals sexually. If we, as the "educated" half of America continue to unconsciously follow this path, nothing will ever really change.... My apologies in advanced for the soapbox, but come on "guys"... if we change, as Gandhi said,the world will change......

On this, I agree. For all those of you who thought giving Dick Cheney carte blanche after 9-11 would make us safer.... I hope you are happy...... And Homeland Security might bankrupt us, but hey we'll be broke but safe, right????

Interesting how no one commented that maybe this isn't the best use of the Internet....... Shouldn't all these private companies and corporations be on a "business internet" and leave the WWW for us real people out here? Oh wait, we're all gun-toting, freedom-loving, god-fearing free-market capitalists. Can't have that, now can we?

Given that "Star Trek" is phonetically matched to "Alex Trebek" who has posed the question more than a dozen times on Jeopardy, and given that "Denny Lane" is phonetically matched to "Penny Lane", I put to you sir, and the world, that William Shatner, in a psychedelic fit under the guise of his "character" Captain Kirk was the true killer of John and and not one Mark David Chapman, in order to cover up his tryst with Yono Oko as he was portraying "TJ Hooker" a supposed "law officer". And I put to you sir, that John's death was accidental, and that you instead meant to kill Yoko, or at least stun her with your phaser!! What is the truth, Denny Lane????

Let's rename it the ED-209 mouse! KG
