You actually have the answer in front of you.
Yes, people signed up for stabbing(streaming) services, with their monthly fees, to get away from ads. So, the corporations start putting ads in the low tier, meaning you have to pay even more every month to start free from ads.
Didn't forget: "good" for the business is "bad" for you. That's pretty much baked into the very foundations of capitalism.
A common idea spread by some of the more blatantly misogynistic 'influencers' specifically encourages young men to attack their partners self esteem with just this type of behavior. So, you're absolutely not crazy for being concerned!
You gotta talk to him. And verbal assurances, promises to 'try harder', etc, is not enough. After doing the hard to work to communicate as openly and honestly as you can, you gotta look for actual improvements in behavior.
I wish you the best of luck! But, problems in relationships almost always come back to not communicating effectively.
Yeah, kinda scary to realize that the Cold War is only now winding down - and we lost. Badly.
This is probably not what you wanna hear, but when the battery gets low, the current gets weaker. If the current gets too weak, the scale becomes more and more inaccurate. Like, wildly so. In other words, the alternative is to lie to you. Badly.
In movies when there's a huge explosion in space, there's always this ring that comes out from the explosion. No!
In space the blast wave would be spherical: it only looks like a 2d ring when observed from a telescope many many light years away, since the telescope can only pick up the outside edge of the blast.

Are you sure that weirdo won't get off on that?
Umm, no. Just...yeah, no.
The main problem with this theory is that Microsoft is absolutely abysmal at user end security, and they always have been. Frankly, they do not understand the issue.
But, more to the point, the whole TPM/secure boot stuff is a compromise; originally (I think this was about the time of Vista), they partnered with OEMs to have them include a DRM chip that made it literally impossible to install any non-windows OS on your laptop. They've managed to still get an implementation of TPM that makes switching your OS too confusing/difficult for the average user.
Anyway, bottom line is they only care about money, and they neither care or even understand the security needs of the end user.
Capitalism isn't exploitative, it's just an inconvenience? Oh, well that solves everything!
Wait, no, that's actually incomprehensibly moronic. F*** your defense of such an evil and exploitative system.
Personally, I'm very bitter about the completely awful effects of Reagan's tenure. Literally turned the office into a Hollywood act; you know damn well he wasn't calling the shots. He was there to draw people's attention.
"This strike is preventing my company from having a future"
Umm. Yes. Yes it is. That's the entire point you complete idiot.
I live in an area that is well known for low cost of living. And you're wrong. Rent is still egregiously high compared to wages. The problem doesn't just magically disappear when you're not looking. Sheesh
Ok, that made my morning. I hate my phone
