Most years (but likely not this one), an estimated 125 million annual tree visitors crowd Rockefeller Plaza and then spread like red blood cells through the arteries of the underground mall in Rockefeller Center, the shops of Fifth Ave., and the booths of in nearby Times Square, keeping the unnatural system alive.

O resin tree, o resin tree
How lovely are thy crosslinks
O resin tree, o resin tree
How lovely are thy crosslinks

We'll brand it "Green" in summertime
For subsidies in wintertime
O "carbon sink", o resin tree
How lovely is the write-off

Which means that basically all of Brazil has that as their password, in order for it to hit that high on the global list!

It’s good to see these acknowledgments. I wonder if it will ever extend to Star Wars. I mean those Trade Federation aliens...

I’ve always found it amusing that the best way to skip the unskippable anti-piracy warnings is to watch pirated copies. Seriously, who thought it was a good idea to combat piracy by forcing the people who aren’t pirating to sit through a short lecture insisting they not do what they aren’t doing?

And ten minutes later claim that he never said anything about war with North Korea as the NK missles head for the west coast and Alaska. Also that he’s never heard of this North Korea place.

She is a smart woman who takes no prisoners. The Republicans are scared to death of her, because she is the future. I love it. 

I’d rather be able to toggle it off permanently, but we take what Bezos deigns to give :) Like the fourth season of The Expanse.

Yeah, I can scoff at Amazon’s dumb 30-second preroll ads because that’s a service I pay for, and I don’t really give a shit that they show NFL games on Thursday or whatever they’re doing now in the COVID times. I just want to watch the thing I clicked on.

A 30-second preroll ad before an hour-long episode or two-hour…

Well if they didnt use the click bait-y language on the article. We wouldn’t be here talking about it right :)

Ah, see, this is what we call a “demo.” “Demo” is short for “demonstration.” The purpose of a “demo” is to “demonstrate” the potential value of a product or service to the consumer without the consumer having to pay any money first. That way they can make an informed decision as to whether or not they want to buy the…

Yeah, it’s not a catch, it’s a sample or a demo. Does Costco have a “dumb catch” that they give you a few bites or something, and in order to have the whole thing you have to buy the product?

And then parents will realize that even after subscribing to Netflix their kids still watch the episode on repeat.

I know right? How dare they offer a free sample and then ask if you want to join!

I don’t really get the tone of the article. It’s clearly just a marketing push. So whining about an advert or limited eps feels weird since it’s clearly not a bug, it’s a feature.

RIP to those folks without Netflix but with kids, who are now going to watch one episode of Boss Baby Back in Business, and then realize they’ve doomed themselves to either watching that single episode on repeat for the foreseeable future or subscribing to Netflix.

Even worse on mobile chrome. Commenting isn’t too bad. But ads!!! 7 in this short article. At least there wasn’t a self playing video that follows you down the page.

Why give him diamonds when rusty metal shards will do?

Hey!

Jin is the head of his clan, an aristocratic warrior who never wanted for anything in his life. Why is he so eager to squeeze every last resource from the people he’s supposed to be protecting? Life was hard before the Mongols arrived, and now villages and farms are burning. Those supplies would be much more…
