Occasionally? I'd argue they've been making social and political commentary since the shows inception tbh.

I've been using Signal for almost a decade. If Australia tries to force their hand, I don't know what alternatives I'll have to use.

Season 7 of Slow Horses has already been greenlit and season 5 hasn't started airing yet lol.

New to PieFed. Completely disillusioned by Reddit. Just wanted to say hey lads. Still trying to figure this platform out. So far, it's a little bit of a struggle.

Or just pirate everything. The resurgence in piracy has been astronomical because of the streaming wars. I'm loving that aspect.

I think even making a distinction by calling them "synthetic" is doing them a disservice. By all accounts, they're as real as naturally formed diamonds. The quality is higher too. They are better in every way.

I'd argue it's working perfectly within the system that's been designed. It's a completely flawed system, but it works for corporations. Absolutely fucked for society though.

Persuading enough people I know to use Signal was hard enough already. I only got lucky because I already had some other friends who were already on the platform. It's much easier to persuade people if you tell them other people are already using it. I just get frustrated that people are too lazy to tap a couple of buttons on their phone to download an app.

I can't access the ABC article. For some reason the website won't load. Without trying to sound ignorant and arrogant, surely we'd know if people were experiencing toxic levels by now? It's been multiple decades since energy drinks became a mainstay in society. I know plenty of people who drink multiple daily, sugar, and sugar free.

I'm yet to meet a single person who's experienced any issues related to b6 toxicity. I do know people who've had to cut back their intake due to consuming too much sugar though.

I personally refuse to have the sugar free variants. The majority of them use Sucralose as their sugar replacement and that destroys my guts more than normal sugar. Studies also state it may destroy healthy gut bacteria too. It's in far too many products, and I'll take the full sugar version of the alternative every time.

Just pirate content. The streaming wars has fucked consumers hard.

I mean it's not like once a show gets multiple seasons in, you can't watch it. Season 4 was a bit of a let down, but I'm hoping season 5 is a return to form. Overall it's an excellent show.

I'm not trying to be facetious, but even watching the fictionalised HBO show Succession gives you at least some idea of how these people think and live.

Sure, it's a satire, but it's loosely based on the Murdoch empire.

They do not see us as human beings. They see us as animals that can be influenced via propaganda, and as much as it pains me to say, it works, and he wouldn't have created the empire he's worked towards if it didn't.

He's almost completed his ultimate goal too, with many Fox hosts now literally holding positions in the US government.

Fox has literally taken over America. I can kind of marvel at it from afar, while being utterly disgusted all the same.

Fuck. I've been dreading this. Best app on my Android TV And it's not even close.

Let's be honest, season 4 was pretty lacklustre. The whole "the bad guy is my long last father" trope left such a bad taste in my mouth.

I never really used old.reddit. I was more of a 4chan guy back in the day. I'm sure I'll figure it out quickly.

A VPN should have been my first thought. Rookie error on my part.

Thank you so much for all the links to these communities!

I like following local Aussie news, world news, true crime, and I'm big into hip hop and metal music. TV and movies are always good to keep up to date on too.

Thanks!

Not even just a "good case." It's scientifically proven. These algorithms tap into the same neural pathways that cause people to have gambling and drug abuse addiction issues.
