You can have a person be full-time managing the billionaire’s case, still a very strong net win.

And even if hypothetically the cost of tracking their wealth outpaced the income generated by the tax, it’s still a societal positive by reducing inequality, which is the root of most problems.

This is a good question: is it okay for you as a person to control a company that has grown that large? Maybe nudging people to give up control of entities that large is a good side effect.

We don’t need meat to survive but eating meat (in moderation) makes it much easier to ensure you get all nutrients you need. Especially when you have children, it’s very dangerous to attempt a vegan diet. Also, killing animals is part of nature and happens all the time. What’s not natural, and what’s unethical, is making their lives miserable before that happens.

And speaking of ethics, you just said two comments above that we should spread this disease worldwide, and were fine with people dying from it just for following the diet they’ve had all their lives. Not very consistent in my view.

Eating meat is not unethical, making animals suffer is. Humans are natural omnivores. Is it unethical to exist?

Most insufferably stupid take possible.

Lmao we already see people are being influenced by social media and targeted marketing, where do you think the source of that is? Do you think you’re immune? Think again. And it’s not just about selling you things, it’s about shaping how and what you think. And what’s the agenda I’m trying to drive in your eyes?

You’re right that they for now don’t sell personal library streaming information, let’s see how long it stays that way.

Companies want your money. The more they know about you, the more possibilities they have to get it. You don’t know what the political landscape may look like down the road. You may feel safe now, but that can change quickly. Imagine you suddenly need to pay back money to the copyright owners unless you can prove you already did?

If you connect to the internet from 2 or 3 different locations, the hashed email will be the same, so they just need to compare the locations to those from another service like Instagram and they know who you are and what you’re streaming.

Just read it out loud (even in your head) and you’ll notice it’s adding pauses for emphasis. Whether it’s good style or not is a different question, but the why seems pretty clear.

Damn you sound very smart, please tell me more

I’m not sure what the things you say have to do with anything? Trump is an individual who got voted into the presidency largely thanks to social media manipulation, which is known to often originate from Russian bot and troll farms. There’s no reason to believe the USA being rich (which only means a few individuals and corporations are very rich, btw) or having the largest army could have prevented it.

No, my system language is set to English. If it’s working like that for you, then there must be some misconfiguration on my part… But I never specified anything regarding languages.

I have custom formats in my profiles, and nowhere there did I see any option to prevent titles in multiple languages being searched. Could you please be more specific as to where exactly I can find that setting?

Damn, may I ask how big your entire library is? At those sizes, you can store more music than I’ll ever need in a couple of gbs.

no human* lives there

a good reason is that they are controlled by Google and without competition they can implement any anti-consumer features they want

why not?

Some shows I really enjoyed in recent years:

• Arcane (amazing animation, world, and story - you don’t need to know anything about the game to enjoy it)
• Peaky Blinders (it’s finished and so good throughout)
• Travelers (also finished, extremely underrated)
• The Expanse (6 seasons of some of the best sci-fi ever)
• Stranger Things (ongoing but highly recommend)
• Beef (limited series so finished, so good)
• The Bear (very good, raw characters and emotions)
• Ted Lasso (no need to care for football, just extremely lovable characters and heartwarming story)
• Breaking Bad (if you haven’t watched this, it’s a must - best TV imo)
• The Last of Us (no need to know the game)
• Andor (best star wars since the original trilogy, mature, dark, and suspenseful)

They’re in no particular order, and I’m sure I’m forgetting a lot, but I definitely think all of the above are must watch.

ok clear something up for me please: when you say woke agenda, what exactly is the end goal of that agenda supposed to be? make all people gay so we go extinct?

While that may be your sentiment, it seems that for many people, especially in countries like China, having more smart features is a positive selling point.
