They have a confusing setup, so I can't be positive.
I was learning how to use my Roku and joined Apple trial period. At time I was using pay pal, and I thought, via tv I had canceled Apple subscription. When saw paypal charge for a 2nd month I then realiized I need to go online and cancel.

Currently my free month trial with Hulu is almost over, but I cancel within few days online. 

My step-son shares his Prime vid profile with me, and his Netflix. tho Netflix wont acknowledge me as a valid recipient 50% of the time.

So at best I may pay $7.00 bucks to join a streaming channel just to watch one or two movies, then cancel. 

Ive certainly enjoyed the new Lost in Space and Queens Gambit on Neflix, The Expanse and The Sinner and COBRA on Prime.

I had joined Apple to see Dune { maybe it was HBO } and part 1 of The Foundation { Asimov not that great }.

Apparrently iTHe Brink is availabe on Amazon Prime tho it says not in my area when view on PC site.

I see I can get Apple tv free for 7 days. Not long enough to enjoy the whole Brink series. 

Huh, it says its on PLex and I get Plex free on Roku channels.  Need to see if it is on my Roku Plex. Thx again

Ironically, I was relatively safe while in the military, only to have 2 near death experiences after: once at a plywood mill and again on a tug on the ocean at night.

I was told as an infant I was also supposed to have died from spinal meningitis, but I have no memory of it.
Do I want to know what you were doing out in the ocean at night? ;)

Also that so many people survive to adulthood these days is weird. Like normal for us because we live it, but historically it's very weird.

You're welcome. Best of luck finding good entertainment.

If I go to rewatch that show, I'll probably just buy it on Google, since it's available there. I just dislike spreading my movie collection out into different platforms, so I try to stick with Amazon.

Was also gonna ask the dick question.

Do you feel fulfilled in life? I mean total fulfillment. In any aspect of your life. No part of you doubting it at all.

Maybe that's a weird question. I feel a bit like this guy sometimes:

A bit above average. That said, almost any partner will care more about other aspects of love making.

I mean you gotta put in some bit of effort, but it does seem to me at least that a beautiful well-formed weighty cock will earn you a hall pass on a lot of the work. I swear 90% of the time my girlfriend tells me I'm beautiful, she has my cock on her hand. I've called her on it too, but if it means I get to just lie there I am happy enough.

Do you find you can keep up with women's sexual appetites? I cannot. Serious question now. It's hard to keep it from feeling like a chore. Sometimes I feel like I'm prostituting myself for clean laundry and home cooking.

I am just going to piggy back off of what badger said because he said it feels like a chore. Mine is kind of lazy on some of the stuff I need her to do. She is basically my administrative assistant and I cannot get her to make dental appointments.  Should I stop having sex with her until she does her job?

So the military is dropping DEI in favor of using meritocracy for leadership positions, the messaging of the current administration has moved away from being so anti white and anti heterosexual and claims are that Iran is trying to murder Trump.

What is the likelihood this means we are very close to going to war?

Sorry for the delay, I've been moving.

Depends on the woman, but usually no. I have a below average drive in that regard.

If that's the satisfaction you need from a relationship, one way or another you must communicate it to give her the opportunity to rise to the challenge. If she cannot, and your emotional fulfillment will not be attained with her without that service, then it will be best to move on and find someone who will be a better match for you.

Even if their plot were successful, it would not be the first time we've assassinated each others leaders (granted, this would be more high profile). I think it is against the financial interests of both countries, so there will not be an overt war any time soon. Likely both would step up the wars by proxy which are the modern standard (such as we can't go to war with Russia, but we can supply Ukraine; or we can't go to war with the entire middle east, but we can supply Israel).

@Barney
Do you think tribalism/family is a worthy value?

I have difficulty seeing how it could 'not be, myself.
While one could argue that certain family members can abuse relationships to the point that they are disavowed,
I would argue that such is not the 'norm.

The reason that Christianity or Confucianism encourages valuing family, is because normally people desire symbiosis in it, rather than predation or parasitism.
At least I 'hope they desire symbiosis, and that symbiosis is more common. (Depends on situation I suppose)

But it is common sense for many, such symbiosis, even if coerced,

Humans tend to value family, as it is what they are brought up with, they value immediate to extended family members.

Should we not value strongly our blood?
Even when families grow large, huge, the nation tends to similar customs, culture, and values,
Underlying sameness, underlying 'contract, of ape shall not kill ape,
Though kindness and honor ought still extend to the 'Others, outside one's tribe, tribes tending to be circles within circles, in my view.

What do you think about families propagating?
I see the 'logic in it myself,
One ideally strengthens one's tribe/nation/culture, does not allow it's territory, military, economy to be overrun.

Though I don't care for having kids myself, or treating them as a means to an end.

It 'is true that if one doesn't have kids, other's will,
Can one believe humanity to be better off 'without one's values?


. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Course, maybe my perception of family in history is flawed,
I'm know there's families where child sacrifice existed, or would sell their children.
