  • Please please tell me you understand why it’s not okay to call someone brain damaged for starting a conversation about the nuances of the fuck cars ideology.

    What is your end goal? This attitude and lack of basic human respect is not going to do anything but generate hostile conversation. I’m on your side ideologically but tanj… this is not a healthy way to communicate those ideas.

    Even if they’re asking in bad faith, it would be much more useful to be able to read well thought out reasons as to why they’re wrong, because comments like this aren’t going to communicate why we will almost always need to use cars for niche applications. (Transporting construction materials and workers to remote areas, for establishing wind farms, etc.)












  • To add to what burndown said.

    Before streaming services were the de facto place to watch movies and TV at home, cable companies would charge a monthly fee to provide live cable TV. TV shows aired weekly and if you miss an episode on Cable, unless you happened to set it to record, you can’t watch that episode until the network decides to air it again, hours or days later, what was known as a “rerun.”

    Cable is a live broadcast sent from the cable provider, (think youtube livestreams that play family guy 24/7) streaming is an on-demand platform for content. So in Canada, if the only place to watch Game of Thrones legally is cable, that limits your viewing time, what episode you watch, and the order in which you watch the show/movies, greatly impacting the viewing experience.

    So cable and streaming are separate, cable is more expensive and less enjoyable than streaming, but at the end of the day they’re two different methods of watching TV.
