    20 years ago, Jon Hamm would have been a great Superman. 10 years from now, he'd make a great Superman if they every made a Kingdom Come movie.

  • Disney+ to hike prices, introduce ad-supported tier in December

    "Disney + Pixar + Marvel + Star Wars + National Geographic". I'm just so happy that everything I am uninterested in is under one streaming service! 

    Disney+ was offered for free with my HotStar streaming service (costing ~$2 per month) which is why it lingers on in our household. If it was a separate service, it would have been a very easy decision to not opt for it.

    God I hate Facebook and Zuckerbag. Not really a big fan of Apple either. Neither are your friends but Apple is the devil you know. 
    Comparing a company that makes something (the best products and services in the world), with a company that derives 100% of its revenue from mining customers' data to sell to advertisers is a questionable conflation.
    Two large companies that care nothing about you unless they are making money from you, as either the customer or the product? I think it's a perfectly reasonable comparison.

    We need to stop defending Apple as if they are our friends..they aren't. We enjoy their products and the service they offer as part of being a customer, additionally if you are a stock holder you enjoy the dividends as well B) .. that's it.

    Pause for a second. “Two large companies that care nothing about you unless they are making money from you” is the very definition of a corporation. If they didn’t they would be charities. It becomes a ‘water is wet’ statement and is essentially meaningless. Better to focus on HOW some companies make money from you. In this case Apple is making money by producing actual products that people like, while Meta is mining private personal data to sell. One is selling TO us and the other is selling US. 
    Very well said! Apple sells something to you, FB sells you to something.
