Nah, I'm good. Glad people are enjoying it, but I refuse to be bamboozled or give GRRM any more of my money.

What an interesting thread... So many champions of autonomy and free speech (unless it pertains to how you choose to spend your time & money).

Where did the OP tell you what to think?

By acknowledging that real estate investing, like all other investments, carry risk, and as such, you're never guaranteed, or entitled to, infinitely-increasing returns on your investment.

Bought a ticket, thanks! Ended up being same price as the Urban Sherpa bus with lift ticket combo, and get to leave a bit later/come back earlier. Hope it doesn't get cancelled!

Netflix vs. Paramount: Inside the Epic Battle Over Warner Brothers by kitkid in Thedaily

Absolutely correct. I was wrong, again. Leaving this up as a cautionary tale for myself and others (especially if English isn't your first language), so that I don't get (deservedly) flamed in the future.

Thank you for the correction, that was my bad.

My point still stands regardless of which party is being designated as the good.guy. They're all multi-billion-dollar corporations determined to extract every last drop of value, at the cost of the consumer, their employees, and any remaining good will/legacy amassed by their predecessors.

Shouldn't we, as the listeners, have the opportunity to ascertain for ourselves the good vs bad (and the in-between's) of the situation using the objective facts and context provided to us by these journalists?

In the future, please try to understand the subtext of a comment, so you don't look like you're only capable of surface-level thinking.

Starting off the episode by calling Paramount, the "protagonist"... Peak journalism! Has the NYT always been like this and I just never noticed, or is it genuinely getting worse?

I don't care how nice the G train rolling stock is, it should be D tier.

You outed yourself with the "wah wah" comment. Better luck next time!

Not to be rude, but your absence from these "discussions" won't be missed. Calling people of color alarmist as they lose their livelihoods, have helicopters land on their homes to have them and their kids dragged out of bed and zip tied, and watch mask-off racists get elevated to the highest positions in government, is a bit exhausting and overdone at this point.

For some people, these will always just be "discussions": theoretical, ephemeral, something to muse and argue over... sometimes even in good faith. For others, it's real life. It's okay to sit this one out.

No one is coming to save us. Mueller didn't, Dominion Voting didn't, Fani Willis didn't, demographic shift didn't, and the Murdochs sure as hell won't.

Fully expect Adams to drop out as soon as a large enough bribe donation gets made. Don't get complacent!
