I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I intend to sign up once it's available on roku (hopefully early next year is what I heard). It's available on other platforms starting Oct. 19. I cancelled my Hulu plan a couple weeks ago, since they're losing all their Criterion movies next month.

I heard Roku support was available right away? In any case, I have to wait for a PlayStation app.

There is a temptation for scheudenfrade, but I just feel awful for everyone involved.

I can't feel bad for him. This is the same sack of shit who encourages people who disagree with him to commit suicide and goes on longwinded Twitter rants about how much more accomplished and influential he is than his "haters". It should be shocking that he's also committed sexual assault but it feels pretty consistent with this kind of scumbag. Fuck him.

I didn't really mean to imply I felt bad for HIM. I can't stand him in any sense. But the situation is too gross for me to feel any kind of joy or satisfaction.

"I can only believe you" huh?

Is he suggesting he was drunk or something, or is it the always-believe-the-accuser philosophy stretched to it's absurd extreme?

Or he knows he did it and doesn't want to acknowledge it point-blank

I can't believe that Ryan and Tim are coming to loggerheads at this point. Weird.
