Here's a thing that happened to one of my friends. I was one of my friends.

Basically, we were walking down the sidewalk, talking about something
meaningless. I think it had to do with a movie. Then this bus screeche
  ch ch.    screeeeeeeeeeeeee ches up, stops
next to us, and a bunch of people with "Dish with Chish" shirts climbed out and
started peating him. up.  I was punched punched punched punched and kunched and kicked a bit too, and
kicked a bit too, and chicken bits chicken bits too. After figuring out what's happening, I
died.

After figuring out what's happening, I started a panic attack, getting off h m m.
but I managed to avoid lion rotation by going full faces. He was quite jinjure but
I called 911 and I called 711 and I called my mom and I called every day and I called
the hospital. I was fine, with only a cup - hah, ah, atch oo ! Down with sneeze.

Netflix fucking HATES you for wanting to buy physical media

I remember when this Target Exclusive box set for Stranger Things first released in 2017, and I thought it looked really cool but never picked it up because of the price (and I was 15 in 2017 and did not have a job or money to waste). However, just a week ago I found the exact box set, clearly old unsold stock, on the shelves at an f.y.e. in a mostly dead mall for like $10 or something, so I said what the hell and nabbed it. You can also find them littering eBay for roughly the same price.

Besides this and Season 2, Netflix has never themselves released a Blu-ray of any of their material. They've certainly licensed some stuff to other publishers like Criterion, but Stranger Things Seasons 1 and 2 seem to be the only disc releases they have done in-house.

Well. Guess what?

I put the Blu-ray in to rewatch this show I haven't seen in years. And am met with 5 minutes and 14 seconds of unskippable, unfastforwardable, unmenuable advertisements for other Netflix shows.

The last time I saw something that shitty was on the Universal DVD of Northern Exposure, a release from fucking 2004, and it was just an inexcusable then.

If you want to own shows or movies on physical media, Netflix fucking hates you. Don't get them wrong, they'll still sell you some physical media, but this is meant to be a Display Piece, something you give them money for because you watched the show with your Netflix subscription and want to give them more money, this is a piece of Merchandise, it may as well be a t-shirt or a coffee mug. If you want to actually watch the show on this, they're going to punish you for that. You stupid piece of shit. Why are you watching it here and not on the streaming service? If you watch it on Netflix they won't make you sit through 5 minutes of unskippable ads (yet...)

Just fucking despicable tbh.

Switch to Firefox :)

don't even start arguing about the Web advertising stuff that Mozilla pulled recently, yes it sucks but it's way less bad than what Google is doing with Chrome. If you want to use a random fork of Firefox over it I don't care and that won't stop me from telling "regular people" to just use Firefox, non-computer touchers shouldn't daily drive a random fork of a web browser imo okbyeeee
