Joke’s on you, all my relationships have been successful.

This is true too. And then comes the delicate art of leading that person to the realisation that changing their behaviour would solve their problems.

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.

Never had Disnkey, so this is more about Netflix. Back at the beginning, I didn’t mind paying a fair price for a service that made discovery and streaming easy and convenient. Plus subscriptions going to fund more interesting content? Amazing! Yeah, it’s a bit of platform capitalism, but the fees were reasonable and they spread the wealth in a way I agreed with.

I’m still not against a service that keeps its fees reasonable for what it’s providing.

It’s families. Dual income with several kids, yeah the fees sting, but when your cashflow is high and your savings nil, $200 a year doesn’t sound crazy. It’s not smart, and it’s not fair, but if you know any parents of young children you can see how they could make that decision.

My partner drives our neighbour’s kids around sometimes, so we rack up seats on family streaming accounts that way.

Disney especially has all but totally captured their target demographics, and not many working parents are likely to put the time into setting up a Plex and torrenting movies for their kid(s). Sadly, it’s easier to shell over an unreasonably large fee, and let their kids have at it.

Tiling…GNOME…? 👀

I mean personally I’d sub it in for something with some protein, though you definitely don’t need nearly the amount you get from a piece of meat.

pomodoro_longbreak,
@pomodoro_longbreak@sh.itjust.works avatar

Maybe you do.

I see it too, but does he seriously? I used to go on reddit a lot, but never followed the personalities very closely

I don’t want them to suffer,

but I’m not paying for their treatment.

I’m not trying to be spicy, but you must see how these two statements are contradictory.

Booo, ok troll spotted never mind my earlier question. I see your game

Hey I take umbrage. Sweatpants are a vital part of attire for WFH / home gym enthusiasts, even post-lockdown.

pomodoro_longbreak,

Ah to be 30 again 😌

@pomodoro_longbreak@sh.itjust.works avatar

Definitely work out more. It’s just starting for me, and exercise has been a game changer

Me washing a dish and some muscles just decide to start hurting, like “go stretch old man we don’t like this”

pomodoro_longbreak,
@pomodoro_longbreak@sh.itjust.works avatar

Start with a bar, get your form down. Add weights very slowly (like you should be getting frustrated by how little weight you’re lifting). Keep adding making sure form stays perfect. If back starts hurting drop down in weight, and start doing back and core and glute strengthening exercises. Continue.

It’s not a cure, but it’s pretty close.

Oh boy just you wait

I don’t know you or your body, but I’m almost certain this is not true.

I realise that it can feel that way, though… How are you? It sounds like you’re in a rough place

PS or a jokester :p

pomodoro_longbreak,
@pomodoro_longbreak@sh.itjust.works avatar

I feel like it must vary. Because I’ve stayed up late and found myself quivering against a wall hearing things, and other times pulled all-nighters without issue. I guess for the latter I was busy doing things rather than just fretting.

pomodoro_longbreak,
@pomodoro_longbreak@sh.itjust.works avatar

Not at all! Many people feel depressed and overwhelmed late at night, when they’re most tired. It’s the reason my partner and I have a rule not to make plans or talk about finances before bed, because it all seems doom n gloom.

pomodoro_longbreak,
@pomodoro_longbreak@sh.itjust.works avatar

Oh because they aren’t wearing a mask?

Copaganda, but good for the kid
