    This is the man who just bought Paramount/CBS and Warner Bros for his son and fired Stephen Colbert.

    If you care about this, you might want to consider whether to ever turn CBS on again.

          According to Trump math that would be 300% less subscribers!

          Edit: Honestly, I can’t remember if that’s the weird ass math he used or common sense winning out.

                  I should re watch the series.

                  Some days ago I saw something about the movie, and I’m already astonished at how bad it is. Still better than the blue weirdos though.

                    Idk, Last Airbender is the worst movie I’ve ever paid money to see. I saw Avatar for free and thought it was meh, but it’s still vastly more watchable than that Shyamalanian catastrophe. Like, at least the dialogue doesn’t sound like it was written in crayon.

            It deprives them of money if people would have paid otherwise. It generally doesn’t though, because most people will just pay up. If people are able to be convinced to pirate instead, they’d lose money from that effect. (It wouldn’t cost them money, but it would lose them money they could have made.)

              I read it as “torrent isn’t stealing, but if it was id do it even harder because those guys suck”.

          Right? I know the hard shit is hard and I’m not going to make demands for it, but I’m getting real tired of the fact that I get more hate for telling people they shouldn’t reward the bad behaviour of evil people than the evil people get.

      He’s another one with Daddy issues. It’s always the Daddy issues.

      Ellison was born on August 17, 1944, in New York City. His mother, Florence Spellman, is Jewish.[6][7] His biological father was an Italian-American United States Army Air Corps pilot. After Ellison contracted pneumonia at the age of nine months, Spellman gave Ellison to Spellman’s aunt and uncle for adoption.[7] Ellison did not meet Spellman again until he was 48.[8]

      Ellison moved with his adoptive parents to Chicago’s South Shore,[9] a middle-class neighborhood with a significant Jewish population. He remembers his adoptive mother, Lillian Spellman Ellison,[10] as warm and loving. He found his adoptive father, Louis Ellison, to be austere, unsupportive, and often distant. A government employee who had made a small fortune in Chicago real estate, only to lose it during the Great Depression, Louis had chosen his last name to honor Ellis Island, his point of entry into the United States.[7]

          There are two kinds of people: those who want to remove the boot from the neck and those who want to be the one wearing the boot.

            Is there something that breaks in these people due to living in post WW2 abundance? He has not even been directly victimized by Nazis, but I feel these people have all the entitlement of victims, a.k.a knowing the worst of it, and feeling the need for revenge, while having gone through none of the suffering.

            Like, do they adopt racial theory from hearing about what their predecestors went through, and become supervillians?

            What the fuck is going on with Israel and certain individuals?

            EDIT: I also noticed it’s always the 40’s/50’s boomers in positions of power, actively trying to exterminate humankind.
