You’re going to need blue team to be willing to pivot and actually address issues and to do so in a such a manner as to interest red team…

You’re right, they’ll never go for it.

Disney is gouging customers with a near doubling of subscription costs. (sh.itjust.works)

Disney is raking its customers over the coals with a 75% price hike for their annual subscription (originally $80.) People wonder why piracy is on the rise.Multiple commenters are saying I’m off base about the 75% price increase. My payment less than a year ago was $79.99. Here’s the proof.

Well, when the price increases by ~75% and the value does not increase by ~75%, this sentiment isn’t exactly surprising.

Right, so anyone adopting such a “buy for a month and binge watch” strategy can still pay ~75% more and not receive a ~75% increase in value.

Nothing is changed.

Like about how that… doesn’t actually change anything that was said?

I consider the privilege of choice in taste of one’s preferred stimulant to be one of the few small joys to late stage capitalism.

The various @politics communities are currently chock full of a weird deflection of all jokes and criticisms of Biden and a focus on jokes and criticisms about Trump. It’s pretty hard to see how the blue team part to this pans out at all.

How does that in any way explain the bizarre, near-vitriol reactions of blue team participants to criticisms and jokes about Biden?

A relative excess of funny would just explain more jokes, and poorly.

You are aware that was a generalized observation, right?

You seem to be the exact type of unthinking blue-team diehard called-out for bizarre, near-vitriol reactions.

I suspect you’re just not liking being in this comment.

Can confirm. You don't need to go far to find dog-piling groupthink ruining discussion.
