The top tier price is free; arrrrr me mateys.

These morons have forgotten why streaming became popular in the first place.

College has largely been pointless since we started sending more than ~20% of kids to college.

All streaming devices support drm

If you need a credit card to eat, you have an immediately problem to fix. One that paying interest isn't going to help you with.

I oppose it because it just means that half of Americans will no longer have access to credit cards. Which is probably better for them, but hardly freedom improving.

I donate money to causes I find worthy. Some of them are humanitarian.

I don't steal money from my neighbors to donate, though.

No, the real question is whether cholesterol is even a problem in the first place. Triglycerides are bad. LDL, not so much.

I can't think of a single reason to steal money from American tax payers to fly Ethiopians home from Myanmar. The world is full of problems, can't pay for them all.

Please point to any significant jurisdiction that has eliminated fossil fuels (or even severely curtailed their use) and their energy now costs less.

Just had that happen ... and now I'm running Firefox.

Entropy says nope ... energy is not renewable. It might be easily replaceable by new energy coming from the sun, but that energy is just as gone as would be oil. Or, more accurately, downgraded to heat.

But then I see an article describing AIs that have learned to cheat, one by hacking game opponents. And at least one that tried to copy itself to another server to avoid being shut down.

Not sure what to believe about the near future.

Our own brains are at best sophisticated pattern matching engines. Original thought is vanishingly rare.

Where they belong

And 2C is pretty much baked in. If we got really serious and actually started reducing emissions we might keep it to 3C, but tipping points make that unlikely.

The fact remains that something like 82% of the energy we use comes from burning fossil fuels and our entire standard of living depends on continuing to do so.

I went to one last year that had been out for a while and they seriously showed 15 minutes of ads after the theoretical show time. And then a bunch of trailers. I haven't been that angry in a really long time.
