That’s easy to say but when there are laws in place to protect the entrenched two-party system and they’re choosing who you get to vote for, it should be plainly obvious that we’re just being given an illusion of choice.

Look at Trump’s term, then at Biden’s. America as a whole didn’t really change. The talking heads sqwaked about different topics but ultimately we’re no different as a country than were 8 years ago. It’s a lot of finger pointing in the end but ultimately when one side gets in, the rich get tax breaks. When the opposite side gets in, the same rich tax the poor harder via increased prices at every register. Either way, their wealth increases and they get richer.

The only way forward should be sweeping, drastic change which is often the platform both parties run on, yet neither are ever held accountable for failure to deliver on those promises. The fact that we live in a country as vast as the USA while somehow only having a choice between two different shit sandwiches is utterly ridiculous. I’m tired of eating shit!

I'm currently downloading a show that is on a service to which I subscribe

I have a Galaxy Tab S7 and for a trip to Spain I downloaded some stuff to watch on the flight. When I got on the plane none of the stuff downloaded on Disney+ would play. Maybe an issue with downloading to the SD card? I don’t know, but regardless Disney offers SD card as a download destination so they should make sure it is...

It’s probably some weird DRM where it needs to authenticate with their server in order to verify you’re actually the one with an account. It’s silly. The steps they take to try and stop piracy are what in fact drives most people to it.

I started downloading shows from several streaming services I pay for simply because of the number of repeating ads they’ll run during a show. A 24 min runtime gets extended to 45 minutes for all the ads, which I was sitting through for months but when they only have two different ads on loop, WTF!? A man can only take so much!

Presently, Hulu’s the worst I’ve experienced of the paid streaming apps I own. I recently just cancelled Netflix because they announced they were raising their prices yet again and with the recent account sharing crackdown, it was the last straw. My parents used my account far more than I ever did and they’re not tech savvy folks. They get frustrated by tech of any kind. Once they couldn’t access Netflix easily, I asked and they don’t want an account of their own, it’s just too much hassle. So screw the greedy shits! Now they get nothing.

I wasn't thrilled at the idea of leaving Reddit after 14 years but some things cannot be avoided. My first post here on Lemmy. Thank you for the warm welcome!
