i'll gladly settle for 1% of that.

they should aim for "cunning" instead of "terrible".

the non sequitur in the screenshot aside, i personally am satisfied with their premium subscription.

inclusion of family sharing and youtube music is just the icing on the cake. for example, we pay for this instead of spotify's family plan. overall, it hasn't been a decision that i've regretted.

all that said, i get the allure of not wanting to be held hostage by ad-bombardiers. it should not be a pay or get plastered with ads scheme. that decision has played out quite badly.

as per wikipedia:

The virus enters the body through broken skin, or mucosal surfaces such as the mouth, respiratory tract, or genitals.

it would be very difficult to ensure every cut and scrape is covered up. there's also the fact that animal bites can transmit the virus.

the best we can do, maybe, is try and limit human-to-human transmissions. diluted social distancing practices can help, perhaps?

separately, imdb itself has been enshittified enough that, most times, i don't want the imdb page as a search result.

according to this site, there are 166k desths per day; which works out to about 7k deaths per hour or a little under 120 deaths per minute (around 2 deaths per second).

even if you get paired with somebody who dies in the same quadrant as you, there's a good chance that that person will be an annoying prick.

so the maths bears out. the commenter to whom you replied is correct in saying that--if the ghost-no-gravity theory is true--you would be better off dying in a mini-mass-massacre event.

ok. i'll be the first to ask. if they replace the blade, is it the same axe?

the data from india is incomplete and not fit for the analysis you're attempting. the actual problem lies in misogyny; rape is more of a symptom of that than a series of unrelated incidents.

misogyny, also, is a symptom by itself of indians making categories and preference tables for virtually every fucking thing. we discriminate on gender, skin colour (it's legal to advertise and sell "skin whitening creams" here!), religion, caste, sect, language (we have about 530 active dialects), state, height, weight, food preferences (india has the highest percentage and, therefore, the highest population of native vegetarians), occupations, the list is endless.

heck, cows live a better life than most women in this country. unless we start seeing each other as fellow human beings, the situation here is simply not going to improve. ever.
