  • Because Netflix didn’t dismantle the capitalism machine.

    Capitalism can never fully disrupt itself. It’s always cyclical. If bundling eventually made it more money, then it will eventually return. If the response to that is to innovate something that gets around that form of bundling, then that “disrupts” the market, in the short term, only for the market to settle back to bundles.

    Because as long as the idea makes more money in a capitalistic society, it will never die.







  • Those are apologetics. There’s no point in time where faith has ever required proof or evidence. Trust is not a better translation. Trust can be broken between two people and requires a mutual exchange of equals. That is not what religion is. It is not two equal parties exchanging trust. It’s one party with all the perceived power telling the other how it’s going to be without being able to change the rules, disagree, doubt, etc. It requires total and complete faith to accept. Not trust. Faith.

    So while what you wrote sounds nice, it’s all bullshit.










  • In 2022, Madison Dapcevich of Snopes, the fact-checking website, investigated Lotito’s claim that he ate an entire airplane. She concluded that, although there are many accounts of Lotito’s consumption of unusual objects, and that he “very likely” consumed such objects on stage as a professional entertainer, she was unable to confirm that Lotito ate an entire airplane, or even part of one.

    Looks like there’s no real record of him having eaten a plane. Likely a tall story he or his cohorts created.
