Uber and Lyft. If the 98 year old grandma with a walking cane can order a Lyft. So can your recently retired parent. 

This is further proof that just because you have money doesn’t mean you’re smart. And its also further proof that people are morons and will follow someone they think is a “leader” because they think that being financially successful is all there is to it. Trump and Musk are in the same kind of person. People with…

Elon is the only reason I don’t have a Tesla sitting in my driveway right now. I can’t be the only one.

Some people just want an excuse to buy something new and shiny. Buying a brand new car is a want, not a need.

I get that from my wife when she bitches about the gas mileage on her SUV. Go ahead honey get you and EV, you won’t have to pay for gas! Oh it’s just gonna be $700 more a month on the car payment though...no biggie.

So first, cars last a lot longer than they used to nowadays so the pressure to buy is lower.

I will vote for a mop with an upturned bucket for a head before I vote for that fat, orange dickhead. Unfortunately, there are far too many fucktards in this country who are willing to vote for the wannabe dictator because “ZOMG! Old guy!”

Which is why every state ought to allow mfg. dealerships that are basically showrooms with a chance to do test drives. Customer then sits down with a mfg rep and does an on-line order for what they want. Set price, no up-selling, no automatically-added options, no “special” offers for paint protectant, pin stripping or…

And blames everyone but himself.

Just waiting for more PHEVs in the US.  Toyota could easily expand its Prime lineup beyond the Prius and RAV4.

I hate going to the theater. It’s too hot or too cold. Too loud or too quiet. I can’t pause, discuss with friends, rewind, look up something I question in the film, actors, locations, history, definitions, etc., use subtitles, take breaks, watch on my own schedule, eat my preferred food, drink whatever I want, skip…

“Saturday morning cartoons ... for adults.”

Thank you for this. You have crystalized a complex feeling of displeasure I’ve been experiencing into a succinct phrase I will be using in all of my future convos on the topic. For real though, I do feel like the modern streaming offerings are an insult to my intelligence.

Indeed.

This is in order to “give audiences a greater opportunity to discover the first installment of Horizon over the coming weeks, including on PVOD and MAX.”

Yeah, at this point I’ve come to accept that the popular culture that I grew up with is ancient history to young people. I doubt my niece and nephew would know anything about Orson Welles. Charlie Chaplin? They might know who he was. I’m pretty sure my brother had them watch Modern Times. Apocalypse Now? I doubt it.…

The Netflix model was not the problem.

It’s almost like the demand for content doesn’t magically grow just because that would be nice for some company’s bottom line.

Executives and senior “leadership” in every industry are largely a bunch of incompetent sociopaths and morons. NONE of them “earn” their exorbitant pay and perks through competence and capable leadership.

It seems like common sense to me that giving someone the option of consuming quality entertainment in their own home whenever they want vs. forcing them to drive to a strange place and contend with schedules and the masses, most people will opt for the former. Going out to see a movie has to be something I voluntarily…
