But then I found out you have to pay a minimum of $60/yr to CBS to watch the rest. $100 a year to watch the rest without commercials.

Well that's certainly a good way to completely kill any chance of a show being successful.

no you see, if people will pay $12 a month for Netflix, clearly they'll pay $5 a month to watch CBS reruns! The star trek series is just the cherry on top. This is totally gonna make our network relevant again!

they can force you to watch commercials in streaming content but they can't force anyone to watch commercials on DVRs so presumably advertisers are bailing on paying the big networks for normal commercials, or will be doing so more and more in the future.

And also I guess they'd rather go alone than just license their content to netflix, or hulu, or amazon.

e. also their ratings are poo poo year-over-year, just scroll down this page and look at all the red:

This is disrespectful to people with legit mental illnesses and try to do something about them.

Edit: being a nazi isn't a mental illness. People choose to make that decision and trying to explain it as "oh they're hosed up in the head" downplays the situation.

I don't think there's anything wrong with saying someone who identifies as a nazi has something wrong with them. For someone to think that it's okay, I think they have to have something wrong with them. It doesn't downplay the severity of what they're doing at all and it also doesn't make it okay. It can be both things.

e: that is to say that they can choose to be a nazi but I believe that's born of mental illness. There's several types of mental illnesses.

It's possible for people to make horrifying decisions without being hosed in the brain. As someone with an actually serious mental disorder, it's offensive as hell to suggest that you can only be a Nazi if you are also mentally ill.

That applies to all nazis, but not the mentally ill. They get unfairly stigmatized in society and it's the... say, 6th(?) biggest problem with american healthcare. Pretty high up the list really.

How do you feel - and I'm not trying to be an rear end in a top hat here, I'm legitimately asking because I'm interested in your viewpoint - how do you feel about the classifications of sociopathy and psychopathy as mental illness too? Because disorders that involve a loss or lack of empathy sure sound like the sorts of things that can contribute to unacceptable decisions and criminal behavior, etc. Like, would it be better to somehow differentiate between "disorders that make people be terrible people" vs. "disorders that simply disadvantage people"?

JFC, you're acting like I said whatever disorder you have is what causes someone else to be a nazi. There are countless types of mental disorders and I'm saying that doing something so hosed up like being a nazi could be one of them.

That's like me saying a child that randomly kills small animals born from anger issues and thinking that's a mental disorder and you getting offended because you have OCD (as an example). It's not the same thing. Stop being offended for no reason.

I don't think being a nazi is a mental illness. There's a coherent ideology —we must ensure our race's survival and superiority. I don't think finding that ideology appealing makes you mentally ill, but I know very little about mental health also so these are words you can just skip haha

And probably the leading cause of homelessness more than anything else, though I have no stats to back that up, just seems to be the case. Leperflesh can own me on that with a wiki if he so wishes.

There's a woman running for city council where I live who doesn't have the most fleshed out platform on her site compared to others, but she's not spouting centerist nonsense and she has a background in mental healthcare, so she has my vote.

You hear stories of reformed former KKK / Neo-Nazis, who basically come to terms with the fact that they've swallowed a hate filled ideology and can change their mind. Acceptance of those ideologies is culturally influenced, either from their parents, or close friends growing up.

That's not the same as someone with a legit chemical inbalance in their brain that saps the pleasure from their life, or makes them act weird when they don't want to.
