I love Google. I’ve been a fan since I first heard of them in the 90s. When I heard they had problems with discrimination, there was very little doubt in my mind that the rumors were true. They’re still a corporation, and I have to remember that. Google is not our friend. They’re just convenient.

Their primary metric, according to what I’ve heard, is not whether people watch the first episode, or even that it drives subscriptions (which is hard to gauge), but how many people continue to watch past the first episode. I quit and moved on to other things. I’m sure many did the same.

It is, on fact, possible to hate both of them at the same time. No one here said they like Bezos. He's also a silly little asshole.

Okay, but Brie Larson did eventually watch both of her films, and her adult human brain made the connection, “yes, that is me. I am capable of recognizing my own face.

What if the total is accidentally MORE than the tip?

I am never bored. Ever. I'm a fiction writer. Whatever boring nothingness you put in front of me, I can always retreat to my imagination. For the rest of you (and for me), build a spaceship...or two...or several billion. We could all have our own galaxy and still have galaxies to spare. There's a whole lot of intrigue…
