"Arguably" you do. You still give them your money and then complain about it. It's a bit disingenuous, don't you think?

No, not really. I give money to a lot of companies whose business practices I don't particularly like. That's the problem with such a small number of companies having such solid control over a market. If you don't do that, you won't have a cell phone, Internet service, electricity, etc.

F**k Netflix.

Then why do you subscribe?

Arguably I don't anymore. My mom watches it all the time, so she has a real subscription. I just do an add-on plan. When they took away my basic plan by force, I dropped my personal subscription. And I'm positively giddy every time I think about the fact that that their decision to be excessively greedy pushed me into a plan that pays them even less, gives me better picture quality, and is still ad-free.

Not only is the UI shockingly bad their remote is a mess and of such poor quality that various buttons require 'Hulk Smash' level key presses.

My take for my device LGUT80 is that it sometimes stops listening to remote input. Sometimes I have to use the button to turn it off, and it only has one button.

Both sides are part of the same group of fuckers selling out our entire future by avoiding substantive change. The Democrats literally spend money to make sure actual progressives get defeated. While you get slightly better human rights for now when you elect Democrats, their decisions are still dooming all of us.

On the other hand I know lots of folks around here have been dinged and I suspect that's because they're algorithm determined they could get two subscriptions out of you where as they couldn't get to subscriptions out of me I would just cancel (and they were right).

I get dinged when I haven't signed out my mom's account at my house on the other side of the country, even though I'm an add-on household for that account.

Also, my mom got dinged when she stayed out here for a while, even though obviously she wasn't using her account from back home. She ended up in a state where she couldn't watch Netflix at all until I got home and helped her fix it.

Their algorithm sucks, and is arguably elder abuse for profit's sake. F**k Netflix.

There is nothing about ICE agents dressing as proud boys or vice versa in that link even if were from a credible source.

Your brain is cooked. This is the obvious result of making "democrats are pedos" your personality and then finding out Republicans will shut down the government to prevent you from finding out how many of them are pedos. The question is, why are you so pro-pedo?

With PCI reaching these speeds, Iâ(TM)m left wondering; what is the bottleneck now? Is âoestorageâ on these systems a silly concept because itâ(TM)s essentially ALL high-speed cache in memory

PCI isn't reaching these speeds any time soon. But that aside, the limiting factor depends on the workload. Which kind do you want to know about?

Also, that whole backward compatibility thing? Stop it.

Are you seriously saying you want less compatibility? Weirdo.

Did the "oligarchs" vote for a black man to be President twice?

Yes.

No, it was the citizens, the people that did that.

Yes, keep telling yourself that the citizens organically wanted to elect Obama, and then wanted to reelect him so he could do more extrajudicial rendition and write profits for insurance companies into US law.
