You typically do that to indicate you're not resisting arrest.

I like this.

Cause halfway through the video they both do fist bumps into the air, and the lady on the left of the cop is walking with her arms at her side.

Sometimes it does feel like mass persuasion is still the stuff of science fiction, especially since the Cambridge Analytica controversy ended up being all smoke, but instances like this really highlight that it’s possible today. Bankrolling a garbage film nobody (human) asked for is one thing, but the misinformation networks that people like Snyder, Musk, Trump, etc. give birth to can self-sustain and continue damaging society.

I saw similar stuff not too long ago, some people are basically using it like we would Google. Want to know how to cook rice? Want to know how to change a tire? You just ask TikTok and watch a video on there.

I suppose it makes sense if you grew up on YouTube and then TikTok. Like, I grew up on books so I want to read everything especially since I can control the pace and references but zoomers or whatever we're supposed to call them are probably fine with watching a video.

Although I personally don't care for watching videos to learn like this except in remote instances, at least they're only watching short videos rather than turning into Messofanego.

I have dissociative identity disorder and both of me think this guy's an asshole.

Still crazy to me how accepted (in circles like RE at least) dissociative identity disorder has become despite the scientific community questioning a lot of it. Even weirder that it's than considered as something that doesn't require treatment
It doubly concerns me how self diagnosis of mental health conditions is generally considered fine there too

We’ve come full circle. If folks were honest with themselves, the “little bit OCD” t-shirt from Target would be acceptable again.

No? When was this? Surely examples would be easy to name without looking right?

edit: This also isn't a court so it's not "evidence being destroyed" especially if you're not alleging that it actually was preserved until the committee asked for it and then they purged it. This is a failure to follow National Archives guidelines for preserving records which if you think this isn't happening constantly all over the federal government lol

I think that as a customer it's perfectly fine to say something is too expensive or not enough quality for the price. Making the jump that it aligns with profitability is one too far. It was predictable (and long predicted) that all those competing subscription services can only survive and keep prices low through hegemonic market positions.

They were asked on the 25th to save all the communications, and they were all deleted on the 27th, so it is pretty obvious it was purposeful.

I'm not having an opinion on this whole matter but that's a pretty generous view of the bureaucracy's efficiency.

Find local activists around you and get to work on strategizing civic disobedience within your neighborhood and its particular needs. And educate yourself on international methods of protests and criticisms of the 60s movements from Black activists of the time.

It was predictable (and long predicted) that all those competing subscription services can only survive and keep prices low through hegemonic market positions.

Netflixs original value proposition (especially outside the US) was it was the streaming platform for all the big content producers - it had WB stuff, Fox stuff, Disney stuff, Paramount stuff, NBC stuff, ABC stuff, CBS stuff, it had all the major films as soon as their exclusivity windows were up, it had all the latest shows (some with the streaming rights while they were still being broadcast live elsewhere) and a bunch of 'classic' shows as bingeable box sets, plus their own original programming / films.

Now everyone and their mum wants their own platform, they all devalue themselves by only having whatever portions of content they have total ownership over - its the opposite of being more than the sum of their parts, they are each individually less. IF it hadn't been for the Fox buyout bolstering the back catalogue, Disney+ wouldn't be shit, and thats the only service in relative competition.

Again, I dunno how it is in the US, but outside the US these channels aren't going to be surviving on their own. Netflix should be using its money to be the international distributor for things like Starz and AMC (who are gonna be first against the wall) and trhen playing the waiting game for your CBS, NBCs and Paramounts of the world to cave to shareholders.

...

When I subbed here, Netflix was definitely early bird and felt like being halfway there as a single option to access a variety of catalogs from different majors as far as streaming goes. Not as good as subscription channel Canal+ a couple decades earlier (who had all films released in theaters at the earliest legal delay) and a little weak on the French content -and old films- because of Canal+ and Internet provider Orange. I unsubbed quite a few months ago and it felt like they transitioned already to more and more exclusive content (though no fault of their own, as you say most of the major catalog holders are trying to have their slice of the pie).

On the side of economics, it's still a lot more convenient and massively less expensive than the golden age of video. I'm not sure people appreciate how much less fat there is to the profit margin in the whole video business. Not to be apologetic for Netflix or any other similar platform, people are materially constrained and can't subscribe to 4 video streaming services. But I can see why they can't be sustainable if they keep their prices as low as they were. I tend to think the whole thing is ultimately not viable in its current form, really. Things are further along in music with Spotify as a clear market lead only having to deal with 3 music majors (really) and I'm not sure they're yet profitable (and we know artists are getting squeezed hard for pennies).

Apparently Netflix will start syndicating shows which seems like easy money but it probably signals they will move to being more of a traditional producer than the one streaming platform to unite them all.

There's also the weird media laws that we have now in the EU. Like 30% of the content on a streaming platform needs to be European and you need a 30 page privacy policy.

All I'm seeing is people signing up for the free trials for Disney+, then cancel and then sign up with another email for another free trial.
Lot of account sharing too.

I don't believe the subscription numbers of any of these platforms.

I still maintain netflix's biggest problem was them green lighting any old shite for years and giving them as many more series as they'd seemingly like, with seemingly minimal quality control other than making sure whats put out is bingable. If they were a bit more discerning with quality, but taking a hit to quantity maybe they wouldn't be bleeding subs.
Tbf the UK Netflix still has plenty enough decent third party content to keep it relevant, I have no idea how it is in the US or elsewhere.

For others surely the way to go with shit from the big US stations like Paramount Plus and the Cock would have been joint ventures, instead of having like 12 streaming services of bleh content.

Not to dismiss this, as the dude should get paid regardless of my former comic nerd sperging, but MCU Thanos (“We need to kill half of the Universe to save the Universe”) is quite different as Comic Thanos (“I’m in love with Death, literally”)… not mention Thanos was pretty much a self admitted Darkseid homage/ripoff.

MCU Thanos (“We need to kill half of the Universe to save the Universe”)

it's also kind of stupid when you think about it for a second, like how earth's population will have doubled within my lifetime

congratulations, you have harnessed incredible cosmic powers in order to delay problems by 50 years

Such a missed opportunity.  Even if they felt they needed a message behind the Thanos story, they could’ve gone with, “the dangers of unchecked simping”.
