Keep reaching for those straws. Eventually you'll blame micro plastics and social media for that murder 44 years ago.

But you can have convenience with physical CDs. You just rip them. I don't know how streaming services control their media but I'd assume it isn't as simple as copying their mp3 around.

Happened to me with the Nintendo eShop. I lost my password or otherwise couldn't log in (don't remember) and Nintendo was of literally no help. So that was it, the games I bought there were gone. Go create a new account and buy the games over again, but they closed the eShop not to long after that anyway, so sucks to be you, Mr. Consumer.

Yeah no thanks.

Not really a horse buggy argument when anyone buying these CDs is ripping them to mp3.

Or being able to actually listen to them. Just read a story about the band Behemoth being banned in Turkey for "preaching satanism". Amazon has already edited or banned books on their Kindle store.

That's some girl math right there. "This handbag is $2,000, but if you wear it every day for 30 years, that's only 18 cents per day!"

One, you'd have to listen to a large part of the library to get the calculated economical value (including stuff you don't want to hear), and two, you'd have to force yourself to keep listening to it day in day out to keep extracting that value. That one song you bought, you could listen to at your leisure, the way entertainment should be: not forced, no anxiety about its economics.

Admittedly I don't really buy digital music but I would assume they have great control in what you can do with your music (depending on the company).

And there are constant stories of digital media either being altered/edited, or pulled outright, and removed from your library. That's the main reason behind the physical media movement.

Also, only the most simpleminded among us would actually believe Trump would have a military incursion into Greenland.

Those, and people like you that WANT to believe it for their own purposes of having more reason to hate their opposition.

When did the mainstream media call Biden old, or call into question his mental capacities?

Oh, that's right, immediately after that June debate with Trump (conveniently pushed for by the Democrats, a June debate that has never happened before), called into question Biden's aptitude conveniently when it was expedient for the Democrats to push him out with enough time to run Kamala through the circus, pretend she legitimately got her billion in donations from "stomping the grounds", right?

You mean that same unbiased and independent MSM like CNN, MSNBC, WaPo, etc?

And the big social media lie is evidenced by the moderation here, there's no doubt about the clear leftist lean on the internet.

They have it because shorts are addictive for our short attention spans. They'd be stupid to ignore that revenue stream.

Go stand on a NYC subway where 90% of people are looking at their phone, check what they're looking at. It's literally 90% all vertical shorts, some mobile games, and the rare person has a downloaded anime or tv show.

Wonder why the -1 moderation. Many extensions changed hands, ended up stealing people's data, etc. Main reason I'm reluctant to install any of them any more.

> liberals aren't stupid people who can only think in terms of black and white ... scrapping it completely is almost certainly worse

Just like the liberals aren't calling for the ending of the electoral college just because one election went against their wishes?

And nice attempt to paint yourself as the savior of this country, to liberate and educate those deplorables and "garbage" people, to rid them of the religion of the deity and keep shoveling the religion of LGBTQ in their mouths.

Right, nothing like relying on TV to educate kids.

And this seems like a trojan horse to tout the benefit of Sesame Street as justification to keep PBS on air to keep airing biased anti-conservative content and get funding from the very people they routinely demean and defame.

Why don't you go on CDC's website and see when the spike happened, which month of this year, and when the bulk of the cases were reported, then come back and tell us that a new administration's federal policies would have had anything to do with it.

Also go look at which state most of the cases are reported. And ponder maybe there's something specific going on rather than your politically charged ramblings.

Yeah when I added a device to my plan and signed a contract, I guess, they were giving a $10 discount per line for auto pay. That somehow had gone down to $5 since then. Seems like that would be a change of terms of an agreement, though I didn't read the fine print to figure out if that's the case. Either case, very sleazy, and up to me to take my chances with cell service from a discount carrier.
