It's no different than signing up for an email account

One thing about many early games is that they're difficult. I haven't a clue how someone can get through Super Ghost n' Goblins or Battletoads. I had a game genie just so I can see the parts of a game that I would never be able to on my own.

Penn Station Subs is expensive too. Like Five Guys, I won't even consider eating there.

Hopefully the patients can at least sue the guy.

I do that but every 30 days the short videos come back and then I have to click on the dots again. It's not difficult but it's kind of a dirty trick by YouTube. I look forward to something like peertube reaching critical mass. If YouTube continues to abuse their users, gets too spammy, gets too expensive with the paid tier, I think people will jump ship. Peertube isn't ready for prime time yet.

I bit the bullet and jumped ship. It was hard deleting my account with all the friends and family following me, but I realized that FB isn't a worthwhile substitute for real relationships. In fact I think it was detrimental to my personal life. People are also get very fake on those services.

Losing users is a must for these services. If people stop using them then they become worthless. I personally find the advertisement and the shady manipulation going on in the background as a deal killer for me. I hope decent people realize they don't have to wallow in spam and nastiness of those awful services; that civilized and spam-free alternatives are out there.

I virtue signaled 7 years ago when the whole Cambridge Analytica scandal broke, realizing that Facebook is a seedy company that can't be trusted.

What, no Ted Nugent??? Lol

Meh, the last time I've been in one was 2011. Too expensive for what it is, and plenty of other options in my city.

From what it seems to me, the megachurches are doing okay. It's the more traditional denominations that are suffering. Overall religion might be on a decline, but certain sects are flourishing. One silver lining about some of the megachurches is that they're led by a strong personality and once they're gone, the whole organization putters out. They're more organized around an individual than a theology.

Kitty is ready to take on the vacuum cleaner.

I worry that neoliberalism may need fascism in order to be fully realized.

I'm more of an accordion person anyhow...
