    Became too woke and political. Also HBO Max has been my go to for sometime now. 
    They stood behind Chappelle and his supposed transphobic jokes and the backlash by not pulling the content?  That seems like the opposite of Woke and political in today's world?

    I have problems with Netflix pricing and content as well just don't see them as woke or too political? I open the Appletv app  I scroll around I don't see much I close it out. I usually don't watch anything unless I hear about it from my lady or friends. Tmobile's Netflix on us pricing keeps us with them.. if that continues to rise I may have to fire them. B)

    Imagine being so mentally fragile that being around your coworkers scares you. This is why we say leftist wokism is a mental illness. It's normalized agoraphobia.
    Seriously? ......


    Wokism is cancer and it spreads like cancer.

    Are you saying that discrimination, especially racism, is just the natural order of things and people should just accept their place in society?

    What exactly is Racism, many studies have indicated that children are inherently NOT racist, but if you hurt my loved ones or steal my property, vengeance will occur, child or adult.  Think.  Wokism is a cancer of the brain.
    As a man of color I have been highly alert to racial prejudice and situations of discrimination in and out of the work place my entire life. I remember a time when woke was actually just a question asking if you were asleep or not. So calling it a cancer of the brain because people are finally becoming aware of the ignorance around them is just a bad look. Just because people waking up to things makes you and other uncomfortable or you are tired of hearing about it doesn't make it bad or a cancer... my god what the hell are people so afraid of?

    Allow me to tell you about racism is since you seem to need enlightenment ..

    • Racism is having your best little buddy growing up call you the N word whenever they were mad and it didn't seem like a big deal
    • Racism is not being able to take a girl you've know for years to a little high school dance because her parents are afraid of what people will think.
    • Racism is a random man approaching you as a 10 or 12 year old kid asking if they had pools for your kind back down closer to my house because they don't want our kind polluting their pools.
    • Racism as a friends mom you have known for 15 years of your life comment that you were becoming very handsome.. to bad there isn't a nice "colored girl" you could go out with.
    • Racism is having a friends father say he Ni**** lipped a cigar like it was just normal conversation... with a whoops as an excuse.

    So I do agree 100,000% that children are NOT inherently born racist.. this type of hateful shit is taught and made to seem "normal" by ignorant and bigoted parents, neighbors and society.. and people are tired of it!

  • Apple, Netflix bail out of bidding war for Will Smith biopic amid controversy

    So,  I agree that it was not a good look for Will Smith what happened that night of the awards. But, at the same time we’re talking about a guys wife and she is dealing with some medical issue is what I’ve heard.  Really don’t spend time following actors that much as my own time is more valuable, but that is the info on this I believe.  There is a line there and I understand that he reacted.  If given more time to think about it in a non public place, maybe that would have been different.   Will apologized for his part in what happened.  I’m not sure I agree with him stepping down or resigning.  It’s at the point today where men can no longer be men,  everything has to be an act or show in and of itself and be politically correct.  I think The apology is enough and people and big companies like Apple and Netflix need to accept that.  
    A grown man would have immediately stood up and gone backstage and called Chris Rock out on the joke if it bothered him so much..period. If that meant Chris gets smacked after you make him aware of the Alopecia so be it, then you deal with the repercussions of that. Will slapped a smaller man and smirked about it like a bully and a POS, not a husband and protector. Rock also didn't know about the Alopecia prior to tell the joke.. so there's that as well.

    Chris Rock has a history of being bullied from his childhood as well as being diagnosed with non-verbal learning disorder (NVLD) a few years back. Yet he was the one to take the high road when this whole things happened and didn't mention anything about any of his personal mental health issues, or bullying. The linked article about his NVLD is from 2020 so this isn't something that just leaked out after the incident.



    He didn't apologize directly to Chris at all in the speech.. he made it about him and gaslighting in an attempt to make himself look like a protector? I do agree with you that a genuine apology would help a lot.. but does not make up for physically assaulting anyone. Why should Will just get to apologize away assaulting someone when Chris wasn't given the same opportunity after the stupid joke?

    It’s because they upped the price but didn’t bump the features and design enough. 
    $30.00 dollars.... the price bump is $30.00 dollars?  I could see if the price jump was $130.00.. or even $100.00.. but I doubt the $30.00 bump is pushing people away.

    They sell the mini with a larger OLED display and better cameras.. how much more can they update and upgrade their bargain phone before it's eating into mini sales?
