  • How can a naturally anxious person keep from worrying while laid up in bed with a broken ankle and leg?

    Jump

  • Ask yourself some questions about the situation, and give yourself honest answers.

    • Can I do anything about it right now?
    • Might I be able to do something about it when I’m better?
    • Could I spend some time thinking of potential temporary solutions while I wait, instead of spending that time worrying?
    • Is it happening now, or do I have time to come up with something?
    • If I think I can’t do anything about it, does worrying help the situation or make it worse?

    These are sample questions. Ask yourself about specific concerns that worry you. Sometimes, the responses will require follow-up questions. Point is to end pointless worrying and start looking at the problem logically and realistically, without the emotion clouding your thinking.

  • Amazon To Start Running Ads In Prime Video Series and Movies, Will Launch Ad-Free Tier For Extra Fee

    Jump

  • Same.

    First they increase prices for content I don’t watch - Live and Sports. Next, I found out they don’t allow Amazon Whole Foods employees to wear BLM masks if they want, and now increasing prices again to avoid ads.

    Meanwhile, I was able to get a Walmart+ membership (on sale) for $50/year, and their prices are very competitive with Amazon, which comes with Free shipping and Paramount+ subscription, as well as other perks.

    It was a no-brainer.

  • Damn! That judge really took them down point by point!

  • Apple buying Disney isn't the fairy tale it once was

    Jump

  • I don’t buy that Disney is in trouble at all.

    Streaming prices are going up, ads are now a thing unless you pay more, password sharing is on the way out, and soon showing movies in theaters first will taker over, and finally, they’ll begin bundling services you don’t want with the ones you do, and have a minimum subscription term so you can’t just cancel and switch to a different service on a whim. That’s, pretty much their old business model, just cutting out the cable companies.

    In the meantime, they’re playing hardball with actors and writers, in hopes of locking them in a long term contract with less money “because streaming isn’t making money”, before much of the above takes hold.

  • It won’t be long before most movies are released to theaters first, and then streaming months later.

  • Thanks for the upvote, and back at you. I’m thinking bots would be used to change discourse for whatever purposes.

  • I feel the same. I wasn’t worrried about this post getting tons of downvotes for no reason, but I would have avoided posting it on reddit.

  • Firefox outperforms Chrome in speed for the first time according to a Speedometer assessment

    Jump

  • I’m wondering if they’re trustworthy with my data? I use the Brave browser and at least so far they haven’t tried to sell my browsing data. I’ve heard about the selling Brave Search stuff though, so I’m looking for good alternatives.
