My local single-screen theaters usually have little to no pre-roll ads. Some of them even have pizza and beer at a reasonable price.

That said, I watch most movies on my Plex server, from the comfort of my couch. The experience is harrd to beat.

"Being virtuous is virtue signaling."

Ok. How about go fuck yourself Mark. Am I vice signaling enough for you now?

I've long said (and this is a hill that I'm willing to die on) that everyone is smart in some way. We're all just smart about different things and in different ways.

I tried that and I'm only seeing truncated articles a few paragraphs long, just like they have on their paywalled pages.

Wait, isn't their RSS feed only available to subscribers? If not, can you share the link?

So long as, in the absence of rules, everyone is treated the same. Major social media platforms swing hard right, meaning that leftist positions will be marginalized regardless of the rules or absence thereof.

Can confirm. I'm a bit older, but when I stopped using social media it was like my aquaintances forgot I existed. Sure, close friends would usually still invite me to social events, but even that tapered off after a while. When I'd call someone out for not inviting me, their response was always "but you never shiw up to anything". It's not like they don't know that I'm not on Facebook. What, you think that when you don't invite me that I'll just magically know it's happening? I'm finally getting some people to use Signal groups but that has been an uphill battle.

Oh damn. That was like a proper internet 2.0 kinda experience. A feller could get used to that.

I had a similar experience today looking up beer bongs. Some real cthulu type of shit.

One of the first things I add to any PC. I just bought a copy for someone a few days ago.

Roku is, first and foremost, an advertising platform.
