I think there are a lot more people who have an 88 in their username because they were born then than there are people who are expressing how much they like hitler.

There is a surprising amount of people with 88 in their account, because their preferred account name was already taken, and the website suggested username88 based on their year of birth. I'm not going to speculate how much compared to the nazis, but it's definitely enough not to assume this automatically. I know from moderating a couple of places back in the day, where it was a legitimate problem.

Its a real thing, but I have alot more respect for the people who react "gently caress those nazi fucks they can't take my birthday" than the ones who feign shock and ignorance. Fight for it or give it up, but don't act dumb.

As someone whose birthday falls on a 14th day in 1988, nazis taking my birthday is a real thing when considering what to use as a pin number, or chathandle, or email address, etc. Fuckers.

And now everyone complains that choosing to pay for All Media costs as much as being forced to pay for All Media. Did people expect that you'd get to watch every show you ever desired for one low, low price or something. This is basically the ala carte cable menu everyone wanted before we knew that streaming was gonna be a thing. Also, even with all the services, I'm still not paying as much as I did for cable.

It's more that we had Hulu, and it got splintered into FXX, Hbo Max, Disney+, Paramount+, CBS All Access, Peacock, etc. and Netflix just doesn't have anything not produced in-house anymore as every movie studio now has a streaming service. The second the valve opened a little the loving pipe burst and now there's 90 goddamn streaming services instead of 2.

Even with the streaming service bloat, we're right now far better off than we ever were with cable. Plus you can trade passwords with friends.
