    Apple Music supports lossless audio and Dolby Atmos now. Catalog is about the same, I found Apple Music's integrated lyrics pretty nice at times as well and its very seamless with the Apple ecosystem.

    Obviously if you don't have an iPhone it doesn't really matter, but I flipped to Apple Music from Spotify and don't regret it.

    Free speech wasn't even playing.


    But money was. And money won big.


    If you need any proof this wasn't about "free speech" (which doesn't even apply to the private sector) just look at the fact that Spotify has canceled shows that have spread covid misinformation. But Rogan gets a pass.

    You know why?

    Money always wins

    but people should be smart enough to make their own decisions
    That was true in the 90s
    But that era is gone

    People were never smart. People are stupid around the world. They are today and they have always been.

    People should make their own decisions, but what should not be done, is to give people bad information and manipulate them into making bad decisions that will cost them their lives.

    That hurts all of us, because when people make bad decisions, there is a cost to the rest of us. It means the rest of us have to make up their tax revenue. It means the cost of their bad decisions gets passed onto other people in the form of higher insurance rates. So yeah, you pay for their stupidity.

    ive been a life-long fan and own about a dozen of his albums, including many original pressing records that my dad had and ive been listening to my whole life. ive seen him live. he is one of my favorite musicians/songwriters/singers. one of my personal biggest musical influences.

    werent you the poster who said you were surprised to find out that i was a small business owner because you said im far left and people who are as far left as me generally dont own businesses? and then i asked you to explain how i was far left and you kept dodging the question until you finally said you had to go to karate class but you would get back to me to tell me how i was far left and you never did.

    You are far left because you don't fall on your knees for Trump.

    i think thats the mentality with trumpers. these are the same dorks that say liz cheney is not a conservative b/c shes not a trump cult member.

    for these people, being a "conservative" or "republican" means you follow trump and believe everything he says. and if you dont then youre not a conservative. the irony is that there is very little about trump that is "conservative" or what we have traditionally known to be "republican".

    i asked him multiple times to explain how i was far left and he had nothing. instead he ran away with the excuse that he had karate class, but he would get back to me and explain how i was far left. im still waiting.

    Interesting read and anti vaxing was definitely a left thing before the righ made it a platform.

    The thing is, anti vaxing was a fringe issue on the left, not a vital platform issue.
