Blamed for Steam games ban, Mastercard encourages censorship during Riot Games VCT livestreams
Why do payment processors have the ability to control morality in our world? Easily the definition of a monopoly. Absolutely insane.

With a budget of $120 million, Francis Ford Coppola's "Megalopolis" grossed only $4 million on its opening weekend, making it one of the worst box office openings for a $100M+ movie to date.
This is the first time I'm hearing about this movie, likely terrible advertising plan

The fact that multi-millionaires are doing to most heinous shit with their money and getting a way with it, meanwhile me, a wage slave, has a payment processor telling me what I'm allowed to do with my money, society is built on tiers.

Anon gets a new jacket.
I can relate, I bought a jacket for $5 from one of those amazon return warehouses, regularly priced like $100, and its in perfect condition, so excited for the winter to use.

Not looking so bad now
When there was 3-4 big streaming platforms things were great... now everyone is just copy/pasting their services and slapping their own content and logo on it and charging a premium.
That movie you watched on Netflix 5 years ago, is likely no longer on Netflix. If you want to rewatch it you'd have to find it on another platform, pay their monthly fee - or pay the rental fee... ironically from one of these streaming services.

Schools are using AI to spy on students and some are getting arrested for misinterpreted jokes and private conversations
Some good news here is that if they apply this to society as a whole the jails would be too full, keep saying the no-no words online!

Shouldn't they have used AI to collect the messages and then have a human manually intervene?

X Threatens Our Democracy. Canada Should Ban It
It’s a mixed bag for me, it’s kinda nice that other websites are just filled with absolute degeneracy. By banning it, people will go elsewhere.

AMC Theatres to Trim Pre-Show by 4 to 5 Minutes, CEO Says: 'We Don't Love Deluging Our Customers'
I haven't gone to an AMC recently, BUT my local theatres do quizzes/fun games in between the ads - I speculate that's the part that will be cut. Paint this as a decision for the customer but in reality, it's a cost cutting/feature cut. Obviously those quizzes won't be missed, but to think they will reduce the ads and trailers is not correct in my opinion.
