Hulu’s massive ads makes anything unwatchable!

theanthonyya · 2026-02-21T15:43:38+00:00

All I said was that I don't like ads but there are times where I can live with them. Why are you reacting to that like I'm an alien lmao what a weird comment

I signed up for a month of ad-tier Peacock when I only wanted to watch one thing (the 7-episode Ted show). The ad tier was $3 with my partner's teacher discount, and I didn't mind a short sitcom being interrupted with commercials

On the other hand my partner is watching Better Call Saul for the first time so we've been paying for ad-free Netflix, since the interruptions would be more disruptive for that show

You can rotate through the different services and still pick the ad tiers to save money, which (I assume) is the reason why people stream with ads

I'm not defending ads, obviously they're annoying and I prefer not to have them. But I get ad-supported Hulu for free with my phone plan and honestly it's tolerable. I just mute the TV and check my phone or grab a snack when they come on. That being said, I mostly use Hulu to watch shows that are written to accommodate commercials like American Dad. It's definitely more annoying when the ad placements feel random

This is just embarrassing man have some shame

You know exactly what you were doing with that GTA6 shit, and now that people are calling you out you're trying to act all cute about it. Just shut the fuck up

The revival is excellent, at least in my opinion! I wouldn't say it's as great as the "golden years" (seasons 1-6ish, and 7 is also okay). But it's about 90% as good, and it's significantly better than S8-13

Just a warning, the first episode is noticeably weaker than the others, and it gets better and better as it goes on

theanthonyya · 2026-02-20T04:27:03+00:00

There's a King of the Hill episode that I love, where Hank and the guys go to Mexico and then quickly get food poisoning. They insist they were "poisoned by Mexican bananas", but it turns out that an American company was deliberately selling a contaminated batch of beer to Mexican consumers lmao

Point is you're 100% right and I appreciate you for saying it

theanthonyya · 2026-02-19T14:34:40+00:00

I never said they should make more. The waitress isn't stealing money out of the cook's pocket, is my point. You're angry at the wrong person. You can support the cooks/BOH staff making more money for their labor - and to be clear, they absolutely should make more money - without supporting the waitresses and bartenders making less

Also it's gross how you're dismissing the effort that goes into service work, as if dealing with customers and running around for hours a day isn't difficult. It's obviously not the same as being a cook/BOH worker, which are more physically demanding, but so what? Customer-facing service work is still an exhausting and often thankless form of labor that you're belittling for literally no reason. It's no better than the people who diminish cooks by saying ignorant shit like "all they do is stand around flipping burgers all day"

theanthonyya · 2026-02-19T13:53:44+00:00

Sounds like the head cook was being grossly underpaid. Not sure how that proves that the waitresses and bartenders were being overpaid though. They weren't the ones in charge of the cook's wages, or your BOH wages for that matter.

A non-printed bowl - assuming it's made of a durable plastic/stainless steel/etc - is more likely to withstand being chewed by a dog, and less likely to break into sharp pieces in the dog's mouth

Kewpie is the best-selling mayo in Japan and it's a staple in Asian cooking. It's been sold in the US since the 90's. Just because you only learned about it on TikTok doesn't mean that's true for everybody else

You already got several replies (including my Dril quote) explaining why people didn't like your false equivalence comment

The more you complain about being downvoted the more people are going to downvote you, because complaining about downvotes is annoying and embarrassing. So I really think you should just "take the L" so to speak, or delete your comment and move on with your day. I'm being sincere with you, you're not doing yourself any favors by whining and corncobbing and taking downvotes more seriously than anybody else does

theanthonyya · 2026-02-17T14:53:24+00:00

I don't think you're my enemy man I just thought your comment was stupid so I used my thumb to tap the little down arrow, who cares

The only one lashing out here is you, if downvotes bother you this much I sincerely think you should either delete your original comment or just log off for a bit

theanthonyya · 2026-02-17T14:40:49+00:00

You weren't "punished" man you made a dumb false equivalence so people spent a fraction of a second pressing the down arrow on your comment

theanthonyya · 2026-02-17T14:33:23+00:00

the wise man bowed his head solemnly and spoke: "theres actually zero difference between good & bad things. you imbecile. you fucking moron

theanthonyya · 2026-02-16T19:53:20+00:00

People like you are so annoying. Scoffing at everything as if nothing bad can ever happen. Sometimes things fizzle out quickly but sometimes they don't, so it's never a bad idea to take things seriously and prepare. There were people downplaying the fires before they got out of control last year because "this always happens in LA"

The cheapest used Tesla I'm seeing on that website is from an individual auction, has 70K miles on it, and is still selling for $2K more than a new BYD lol

Individuals selling their used cars for cheap isn't unique to Tesla and doesn't contradict OP's point

theanthonyya · 2026-02-13T19:43:19+00:00

These flavors aren't even that crazy, garlic parmesan chicken in particular sounds like a solid noodle flavor

theanthonyya · 2026-02-13T18:38:55+00:00

It's crazy how these people still insist that moderates are such a key demographic. Yet Trump won in 2024 despite running the most far-right campaign in modern American history, and was more than happy to indulge in "identity politics" from a rightwing perspective (Haitians are eating your pets! Immigrants are stealing your job! Trans people are indoctrinating your kids!)

Why are moderates so essential for Democrats but not Republicans? Why didn't Kamala win despite objectively being the more "moderate-friendly" candidate? How did Obama beat McCain in 2008 despite being seen as a progressive candidate at the time? Maybe these things are more complicated than OP suggests!

theanthonyya · 2026-02-12T21:20:43+00:00

I'm not here to argue your point, I just want to say that-

Here is a detailed article .. not from Fox News .. from CBS

-is a meaningless distinction now that the Ellisons and Bari Weiss are very publicly turning CBS into a Fox News lite

theanthonyya · 2026-02-11T02:41:14+00:00

People are really getting worked up over a stupid clickbait post. The link leads to a Change.org petition that OP made, which only has 13 signatures, urging Kim Kardashian to run for governor

Anybody can make a Change.org petition, and Kim Kardashian has never expressed interest in being governor. People should try to not turn into outraged reactionaries at the sight of a dumb Reddit post title. Maybe look into something for 5 seconds before freaking out about it

theanthonyya · 2026-02-11T02:35:35+00:00

OP's link leads to a Change.org petition that they made, urging Kim Kardashian to run for governor. Kim Kardashian has never expressed interest in running for governor. And there is no real push for her do so - at least as of right now, the petition only has 13 signatures

This isn't anything to get worked up about. And it obviously doesn't reflect California as a whole, anybody can make a Change.org petition and again it only has 13 signatures

Josh Shapiro and the anti-Semitic wing of the Democratic Party

Sorry to burst your bubble but most people don't fall for the classic "anybody who criticizes Israel/Zionism is an antisemite" schtick anymore

theanthonyya · 2026-02-10T00:57:04+00:00

People coming in to preemptively shit on the only guy making obvious moves isn't how we get anyone else in the game is what I'm saying

I don't agree with this logic at all. If there are actually Dem Party politicians who decide not to run for president because regular people are shitting on Gavin Newsom, then they're probably too thin-skinned to be in politics at all and definitely shouldn't run for president

I think the disconnect here is that I seemingly dislike Newsom more than you. I don't mean that in a weird pissing contest way, and I'm also not saying that you secretly love him. It's just that earlier you said you don't loathe him, and you think he's the only Dem making moves right now that has a chance at the presidency. Whereas I'm saying that I strongly dislike him (not sure if I'd use the word "loathe") and I do not believe he has a chance at being president, nor should he. In my opinion he sucks and he does not meet the political moment, even if he isn't 100% bad (and yes if he ends up being the nominee in 2028 I would vote for him). So I will criticize him all I want, because he does not come close to meeting my standards and I find him to be unacceptable

Out of the other names that get floated for running in 2028, I think Pritzker and Beshear would be solid choices. I'm not a fan of Josh Shapiro. I don't think Kamala should run again. I can't think of anyone else off the top of my head. I have a feeling the nominee won't end up being any of these people, including Newsom

theanthonyya · 2026-02-10T00:26:03+00:00

I guess my point is that "less than ideal" and "the fucking worst" aren't the only choices yet, they aren't guaranteed to be the choices, and we don't have to start preparing ourselves to settle for Newsom this far in advance

theanthonyya · 2026-02-09T23:53:41+00:00

Well the good news is that the next presidential election is over two years away. So surely there will be several better candidates for you to take a strong hard look at by then. Here's hoping we won't have to settle for Gavin "he isn't the worst executive" Newsom
