It’s kinda funny because she tried to sign out early and was denied. Then she was like I’m 29 I can leave 😂

Dude, you're projecting. Just because you need an artificial release schedule to force you into a social sharing experience, that doesn't mean others need that mechanism or want that same result. If your social group is going to spoil all your shows on lunch breaks then find a better social circle.

Wait, really? Like, in my schools parents were welcome, but I’m pretty sure that if as a 32 y/o man with no child I showed up and started roaming around an elementary school, I’d be asked to leave with a quickness.

This. I've been a netflix member since 2008 and I just cancelled my membership after finding out that netflix cancelled 1899. With a cliffhanger ending. It's simply not worth taking a chance on any of their new shows anymore.

None of them were dead at the time. What they choose to do with their lives after I've killed them is out of my hands.

I am still upset about this. That season was amazing and had me grafted to the screen.
All the big investments were done, the building of the sets, the characters etc.
All Netflix had to do was let things play out and once the show was complete vieuws would have probably skyrocketed.

Just saying if they’re going to have issues now when most of the swimming places are not in operation, I hate to think what it’s going to be like in the summer.

I don't understand why the author of the piece is shocked that someone would say out loud that a cheap series doesn't have to make as much money as an expensive series. Do people not generally get that? Just because a fan base is vocal or highly concentrated in a subreddit doesn't mean it's actually popular.

I've actually contemplated the use of flogging as a viable alternative towards judicial punishment of minor crimes considering the ridiculous amount of time some people get sentenced for when being found guilty of them, provided the accused is given the choice of the two options of course. I mean who wants to spend 10+ years in cell just for doing something really dumb like stealing from a convenience store while being a dumb teenager when you could face a couple of lashes, spend a few months recovering from them and living with the shame of your actions while hopefully learning from your mistake and finding a way to get your life back on track. Is it really cruel and unusual given some long sentences are given out because of corporatism.
So what does this guy have to say-
>Freshman Sen. Dwayne San Nicolas is working on a bill that, if enacted into law, would allow “caning,” or whipping one’s buttocks with a piece of wood as an additional punishment for violent crimes such as rape, murder and armed robbery.
...where the fuck does this Krampus in a Santa skin suit think he lives?! Singapore!? He may be from and be a representative of Guam but its still a US territory last I checked and they still follow US Codes and Laws and as far I'm concerned dealing corporal punishment on top of a prison sentence falls under cruel and unusual. Because how long after they start implementing that do they begin considering using it a regular disciplinary measure?

Singapore is quite low on crime. However, just looking at caning sort of ignores other aspects of their culture.

That's easy. Watch Netflix.

Have you met people? Personally, I look at low odds of getting a group of competent ones together at the same place, and use the default assumption that at one point they were less incompetent than their competitors and that momentum can keep things going for a long time after that is no longer true.

I don’t think they realize how many of their subscribers are around because they like the niche content. Now that it’s clear they don’t renew unique (non-blockbuster) shows their subscribers will drop and drop as those people lose interest.
I support the concept of shows like Stranger Things, but it’s not my cup of tea. I like Nick Kroll, but Big Mouth and its spin-offs are too crass for me. I’ll watch a click-bait-y doc here and there, but even those are losing their charm because they feel more and more like poorly researched YouTube videos.
I used to love getting surprised by interesting television on Netflix. The OA is a masterpiece. I’m still thinking about 1899 even now. I Think You Should Leave is one of the funniest sketch shows I’ve ever seen (thankfully not canceled yet). Heartstopper is a heartbreaker.
But those are the exceptions, not the rule.

Then it got canceled again so we're never going to get the end of the story. Season 2 and 3 are good tho.

The city does have these things called indoor pools. They also do recruiting/hiring in the off season to fill positions in order to be ready for the summer.

I knew a few people who liked it but not a single one ever heard of the anime.
