You actually have the answer in front of you.

Yes, people signed up for stabbing(streaming) services, with their monthly fees, to get away from ads. So, the corporations start putting ads in the low tier, meaning you have to pay even more every month to start free from ads.

Didn't forget: "good" for the business is "bad" for you. That's pretty much baked into the very foundations of capitalism.

Yeah, kinda scary to realize that the Cold War is only now winding down - and we lost. Badly.

Do you ignore things to make yourself happy? I guess that would explain why you would assume somebody else would. But, sorry to disappoint - I'm not a Republican.

And, no, I don't ignore even the insane shit out there. What's the point? Besides, what kind of fucked up system do you use to decide if you're happy anyway? Ignore shit and it's still true.

Anyway, I've never met a happy Republican. As I said, they're always afraid and/or angry. So, yeah, not hard to figure out that the study this article is referencing is bullshit. But you do you.

But my claim must be absurd! Cause you know you're happy! Whatever, dude...

Is not so much that he will win (he's obviously being used, and we'll have no actual power himself); it's more that the rest is are gonna lose, I'm afraid.

Are you...a nutcase?

This is probably not what you wanna hear, but when the battery gets low, the current gets weaker. If the current gets too weak, the scale becomes more and more inaccurate. Like, wildly so. In other words, the alternative is to lie to you. Badly.

Wow, what bullshit. Cognitive dissonance may give the appearance of happiness, but it is a literal hell on Earth. The psychological damage from pretending so strongly to be happy..? It's not worth it.

And besides, no one is going to convince me that the people that are always afraid and angry are the happy ones.
