I am about halfway through Haunted Hotel. I enjoy Will Forte's bit of flair to things, even in voice acting. It's been fun enough as an animated zone-out-but-still-chuckle sort of show, in my opinion!

Keeping along with S2 of Peacemaker after having just binged S1. I'm liking it a lot, and am not necessarily a fan of the superhero universes and their things. Yet I still enjoy the cast and storyline of this!

all fair! in my opinion, principles or underlying concepts that make lemmy desirable to a large set of its users are shared with something like "piracy" as a whole. though, arguably there are different offenses of pirating things. for example, things like books and other knowledge resources can be justified easier in some ways than something like that a "today's hot comedy" series. all to say, that'd be my thoughts on why digital shared ownership is likely a commonly accepted thing here.

sort of apart from the original "boycott" point, there's also this layer of Big involved in how much of our available content is stored / accessed / mediated. on the seas, you're resulting moreso in boycotting that Big layer that likely has their stinky mits too far and too deep for what they can really deserve credit for anyway. other methods could be used to support the direct producer of content, if intended, while continuing to boycott the Big that enforces and forces itself between due to convenience, research, pull, etc.

you're not alone in this angle or feeling this way, for sure. as it should be! we're also splitting it at a fairly high-above-ground generalized view, and could both very well be imagining example cases supporting our mindset that happen to live far apart on the spectrum of what this can be pertaining to. there's room to be against it, in favor of it, or anywhere in between based on contexts. I don't know why I'm rambling. thanks for responding with more input! lol :)

however, when it comes to sailing seas, you share product without it taking any from your own pool in a way that causes it to ever leave your pool. so, then one consumption can split into two consumptions, both able to continue existing and being consumed, while further multiplying more. the first consumer could be the last direct consumer from the boycotted producer, while future consumers can still benefit from or otherwise put to use the product provided something back to us.

in my opinion, this concept of eternal growth and multiplying without being forced by laws of reality for the original sources to ever diminish, makes this different than other scenarios like keeping a second-hand market interest in something while boycotting the main source / producer.

nice try! you can't prove that I know anything!

I absolutely agree. it was a sort of slap in the face, personally. I've been aware of the increasingly awful subscription model take-over of course, but seeing it presented that way and realizing how not-so-far-off that reality may be, finally put some fire behind it for me.

Black Mirror's Common People episode would like a word

I've somewhat recently become familiar with the term "autistic burnout" myself. Can you share some more with regards to your statement - "only treating the cause will work."

I'm sure that the cause may be different from person to person, but do you have any insights towards determining what that cause is? I am, and have been, in what feels like an eternal loop of feeling or being labeled as anxious, depressed, various ADHD symptoms, etc. and struggle more and more to determine what's real, what's a clouded effect of something different, and so on.

all to say, I'm stuck somewhere in this knotted ball of yarn and dont even know which thread is the real end to start pulling on, knotting it up even worse.

would something like rethinkDNS or some other firewall and / or DNS blocking tool be sufficient to cutting out all of this and still benefitting from the app locally?

glad to hear it! and I agree, I've gotten to the point where if a series sounds decent at all and I see that it's an ATV release, I might as well check it out!

could be an unrelated mention, depending on your reasons and interests in Platonic, but if you've not seen The Studio, I highly recommend it as well. it was a ton of fun. I'm a Seth fan anyway, but the production of this was so fun to watch, and I'm not a screen snob by any means.

I don't think it's a romance, in my opinion!
