My issue was cutting out the sharing. I was paying for 4 screens at a time. Why should they care which 4 screens are being used?

Once I realized a decent VPN was $5/month, that I could get TV shows without the 35% time addition of commercials, and stop worrying about what I get going away, the issue wasn't that Netflix was bad, it was just worse than the alternative.

edit: not that Netflix has commercials, but the fact one could get anything without them as well (like paying for cable...)

Had to look it up, you're not kidding

At parties in recent years, Musk has been spotted taking ketamine recreationally through a nasal spray and drinking liquid ecstasy from a water bottle

I've been wondering this myself so I just went ahead and read the FCCs CAN-SPAM business compliance guide.

This is 100% a violation. As per section 7:

You must honor a recipient’s opt-out request within 10 business days. You can’t charge a fee, require the recipient to give you any personally identifying information beyond an email address, or make the recipient take any step other than sending a reply email or visiting a single page on an Internet website as a condition for honoring an opt-out request

OP could probably threaten a lawsuit and their practices will change quickly. That's assuming the company does business in the US...

edit: just realized this is stubhub. this smells like a lawsuit waiting to happen

The Smothers Brothers were legends in comedy. The typical "straight man" Tommy was integral to their duo and will be missed.

Ben Sliney actually played himself in the movie United 93. It was his first day on the job, but he was pretty experienced, he previously ran all of New York City's air traffic.

I saw an interview with him maybe 15 years ago (sorry I can't find it now) but he grounded every plane in the US without approval from anyone above him on his first day as the FAA National Operation Manager (I believe he was at least 5 levels below the President).

Pretty incredible story but he knew how to react and executed the plan well.

edit: clarified some stuff and figured I should include his Wikipedia page too

How is using encrypted communication and "showing their mother" suspicious? All the evidence seems extremely circumstantial and they were locked up for 5 years before a trial? The whole thing smells fishy...

As "innocent" as they are portrayed, the hypocrisy is the least of their problems. Their abuse of both people and animals is extremely widespread and rarely talked about.
