You’re not wrong about anything you’re saying, but I’m learning that a LOT of people are either / or with phones and computers; I know fewer and fewer people who have both. Making a local backup is ideal, but many can’t or don’t have that option.

You might be exaggerating people’s technical knowledge, desire to increase their technical knowledge, and / or their desire to effect change.

Welcome… to Zombocom.

I’m sorry?

Streaming isn’t exclusive to the methods you mentioned. I have plenty of friends make recommendations. And I found out about one of my now-favorite bands through Rolling Stone.

Oh my god, yes.

I can agree that ad revenue hasn’t changed much, but it would be interesting to see how many hits each ad get, which can be determined by what time a person redeems their ticket. If anything, I’d guess that fewer people see the ads, based solely on my own experience. And also based solely on my own experience, I don’t think concession sales have changed, either.

Am I missing something or does “This text has been loaded in plain text format due to the large size of the XML/HTML file. Loading the XML/HTML in a new window (2MB) may take several minutes or possibly cause your browser to become unresponsive” mean nothing? I could very well be missing something.

I send that to my students through Google Classroom literally every Wednesday. I teach high school juniors and seniors.

Had a long day and I don’t understand how that applies to my comment. Please elaborate.

How did it come to be expected that information should be free?

I’m American and I pay for an annual Guardian membership.

There’s no situation I would call Nissan a “smaller brand” of anything.
