Why's that?, if you don't mind me asking. I have no skin in the game, just curious.

When was it ever just one portal with everything available?

The biggest risk is that it renders your pineal gland completely useless. (not the face, not the face, not the face)

I'd go with Possessor by Brandon Cronenberg. I've only seen it once so far, and the unfolding of the story was such that you had to work for it. It wasn't impenetrably dense, but I definitely had to give it the attention it demanded.

The supplement industry isn't government-regulated (in the US), so there are a lot -- A LOT -- of supplements that are mostly just filler, but you can find supplements that actually have what's listed on the label. To separate the wheat from the chaff, I use consumerlab.com. They're an independent lab that runs studies and benchmarks (more or less) on supplements. They have a specific test for each supplement and aren't afraid from providing negative results.

What do you mean by "also?" Do you tip twice?

Curious about your movie-buying habits... How do you determine what you buy? Movies that look interesting? That you've seen before? A little bit of both?

  1. Same here.
  2. Your life is otherwise empty. (I'm not at all saying your life is empty, but that would be a reason that you would complain.)

I don't mind complaints, it was more of people's entitlement that was getting to me; people expecting something for nothing.

Also, I appreciate you asking me, and your response to my response. Gave me a chance to speak my peace without being called a corporate shill. Thanks, yo.

It was fresh on my mind from earlier and my blood was still pumping. Here's my thinking, though. I've been using uOrigin with great success. Never saw any ads on YouTube. One day I get a notice from YouTube letting me know that using adblocking is against their ToS and that I can only watch three more videos ad-free. "Well, that sucks. Guess I'm getting ads now." Since then, my usage of YouTube has dropped DRAMATICALLY. I barely use it anymore. That's how I'm protesting. I'm not saying that anything that appears on my screen is subject to MY ToS (I'm choosing to visit their site), I'm not saying that they have no right to force ads on us, and I'm not saying that I'm entitled to free content. All I'm saying is that YouTube can conduct itself how it best sees fit; if I don't like it, I'm by no means obliged to continue using their service. That, I feel, is the best way to let your voice be heard -- vote with your clicks, especially when it comes to a non-vital. YouTube's a for-profit company, so of course they're in the business of making money. They may be the biggest in the game, but unless there are extenuating circumstances, no one is required to use them. I may be missing some nuances, but this is more or less how I see it. Don't like it? Don't use it.

I've since discovered that I can browse YouTube ad-free indefinitely by going in cognito.

Genuine curiosity, why does it matter which platform it comes out on? Asking from a comlnsole-only point of view. I only game on PS5, so I'll never get to play Xbox-only games. But if you're on a PC, you can just get the other platform?
