the massive power of trains yet confinement to a single path makes them comparable to angels
Scientific fraud is the most baffling thing ever to me like do they think they’re just going to make a huge breakthrough and no one will notice that it’s fake by trying to replicate their results
Yeah actually I just discovered how to turn plastic into gold. Oh you want to know how I did it
Starts running away cutely
Netflix Canada is done with being basic.
The streaming giant says it’s phasing out the $9.99 “basic” option from its price plans, taking away the cheapest subscription without ads.
That means new Netflix subscribers will have to decide whether they’re ready to sit through commercial breaks or fork out a bit more money for an ad-free experience.
Netflix’s ad tier costs $5.99 and allows viewing on up to two screens at once with commercial interruptions.
The next level up is $16.49 per month to watch without ads, with simultaneous viewing on two devices. There’s also the premium plan for $20.99 with 4K high-definition video and the option to add up to two members who don’t live in their household.
Note from poster @el-shab-hussein: Remember what happened last time? When they cracked down on password sharing on Canada first because they use Canadians as a testing grounds for what they want to implement on bigger populations? This is going to happen to the Netflix services in other countries if they think this measure is successful. We’re just consumer guinea pigs in this story.

Nothing on Netflix is worth paying $16.49 a month for.
shoutout to Netflix for doing their part to resurrect internet pirate culture.
i hate you shein. i hate you wish. i hate you temu. i hate you aliexpress. i hate you fast fashion. i hate you consumerism. i hate you planned obsolescence. i hate you plastics.
truly my LEAST favorite form of advertisement these days is the faux-tiktoker/influencer who is here to Sell Me Something. the “omg unbox my Pureology ™ skincare haul!!!” “doing the #NespressoChallenge!!!” “you guys will not BELIEVE what i got from shein-“ like its scary. its WEIRD. not only do i have no idea who these perfectly manicured, babytalking people are they feel less like real people than even an actual advertiser does. stop trying to make me believe you are my friend. you are something inhuman to me. you are a changeling. you are a brand wearing ill fitting human skin and i see its skeletal shape shift beneath the surface.
