Thank you for not spoiling it here. And with that news I'm out!

To each their own but I respect your opinion.

When I was in school, that was just the first song they'd teach us on the recorder so I assume it's meant to be the teacher pushing on with the lesson instead of listening to the student.

The labels are like a shrink wrap, it makes it look lighter or empty starting at the bottom of the wrap in this picture.

Because we only have 2 parties in the US that currently have any chance to make office at that stage and Democrats are more in line with his view than Republicans. Many people from both sides really shouldn't be in either party but since there are only 2 parties, everyone picks the side that most aligns with their ideas because it's easier to get support for how they think the country should operate.

Until Vine and later tiktok, basically the whole Internet was in the horizontal format and vertical videos would play with huge black boxes on the left and right and in turn you can't really make out the details of the videos as well because they were so small on those screens. Today's internet is very different and has things actually designed for vertical videos so complaining about it makes no sense anymore.

From my experience, the problem isn't the question itself but how and why it's being asked. I've seen it used as a way of measuring one's success because they believe everyone should want and have a family to be successful in life and if you don't want or have that, you are treated differently and sometimes even as an outright failure to them.

Watching a video that showed how they do cheese for pizza makes seeing those commercials absolutely hilarious to me knowing its basically nothing but glue.

I totally get what you are saying but think of the average user, they are not like most people on this site who know and are willing to fiddle with Tech. Plex is a media server, porn comes in all sorts of images, gifs, and videos which are all media files. If you already have a server set up, it's as easy as adding a library and pointing it to the folder you want instead of signing up and configuring a whole new service that most users are not going to have the time or want to set up. Especially because before this push to share what everyone is watching on plex, it was all private anyways.

In the US, without net neutrality I believe it's completely legal. I remember seeing a report on The Steven Colbert show about a year or so after we lost net neutrality about how Comcast deemed Netflix wasn't paying them enough money so they throttled Netflix into the ground. This gave the appearance that Netflix services were crap in comparison to their own services like Hulu. About a month later they came to an agreement and Netflix paid up then magically speeds were restored to about the same as Hulu services.

One of many articles from the time.

At the risk of being downvoted, these are the kind of responses I am getting absolutely sick of seeing. Someone just asked "why mac?" And your response is basically "are you dense or stupid?" And they get downvoted while you add nothing but an insult.

People seem to forget that not everyone knows everything, had the same upbringing, or the same experiences.

Everything I read says a lot of the younger generation just knows windows has the biggest OS market share for computers but they don't even know how to navigate it because they grew up on android, ios, and chrome os so maybe that's why they are asking why, because they have no idea what benefits a Mac OS machine would have over a Windows OS machine.

I mean hell, I know so many people who don't realize that Samsung phones run a skinned version of Android so they say they run on Samsung and that it's not an android when asked.

I bet because the current market share makes it so a lot younger generation doesn't realize that Mac OS is or was marketed as a superior movie and photo editing OS and that's why a company may choose Mac over Windows. Maybe the company just lets their employees buy specific Mac and Window machines as all their applicable software works with both OS and OP just had a preference of Mac over Windows. Either way your response adds absolutely nothing but insulting another human.
