I lost all three of my pets within a two year period. I have a friend who lost both her cats to illness and accidents and then two adoptees - including a kitten - to illness one after the other within a 4 month period. That’s just life, and pets sadly live very short lives to begin with.

Same, we tend to Drag Race and British comedies like Keeping Up Appearences. But the recommendations always seem to bring up violent slasher films

Really interesting story, and definitely shows the ways in which the “Great Man” narrative (i.e., the idea that social change occurs through one or two individuals alone) can so easily erase the impact of women.

Netflix never manages to recommend me shows I actually want to watch, either. I’ve watched every season of “Call the Midwife” at least 3 times, but do they tell me when there’s new episodes? Nope, never. But they’ll certainly email me to let me know “Always Sunny” has a new season! Even though I hate that show!

It’s like when Cable TV came out....we were promised quality programming and, for the sake of the monthly fee, no commercials!

“We are testing whether surfacing recommendations between episodes helps members discover stories they will enjoy faster.”

I’ve been getting them... they cut off the ending theme of my shows to show a damn ad. Seriously all the beta tests I miss out on and this is the one I am selected into...

Literally the only reason Netflix is a better experience than “eh I’ll just YouTube/torrent the episode” is that there’s NO ADS. I WANT to watch things legally but I also want to not be irritated out of me hole to do so. I already haaaaate the autoplay feature, it puts me off browsing and choosing things to watch…

Hello Piratebay my old friend

I started noticing this a few days ago. I don’t mind them showing an ad for one of their shows after I finish watching an episode, but I hate that it has removed the description of the upcoming episode of the show I’m already watching. I like to read the description in the 20 seconds it gives me before the next…

Amazon already does this, and it’s super annoying. If I didn’t check out the show when you had it plastered all over the top of your app, I’m not going to when you interrupt the shows I’m actually trying to watch.

Good bye, Netflix.

I swear to Dog, I will start flipping tables and setting things ON FIRE if this becomes an all-the-time thing. I’m already irritated by the preview thingies starting if I linger too long while browsing. Ugh. Netflix. Stop. You’re fine the way you are, man.

The thing I hate about Hulu is that I pay extra to not have ads but some shows aren’t covered under that and I STILL get ads.

I mean I wouldn’t care if there were ads Netflix shows or otherwise at the beginning/end/in between shows or movies but not during. That’s the only thing I don’t like about Hulu. Ads in the middle of something bugs the crap out of me.

That is a passive aggressive goldmine. When arguing with people like this, the best tactic is to keep your opinions and standards out of it and just focus on how they are betraying their own ideals. It avoids an us vs them, or more pointedly you vs your in-laws, mentality. They’ve been hearing for years how liberals…

I’m a Black woman and have a particular take on this entire hellscape of an administration as I’m sure you do. Frankly, I don’t understand how anyone can choose to spend time with these supporters.

aaaaah that one makes me so mad especially because my sister and I want to bring my mom here through that policy soon. It is very hard not to take all of this personal...well how can I not take the start of his campaign with Mexicans are rapists personal?
