I was referring to it's chemical makeup i.e. it's a cheese-like product, not cheese product.

I'm going to pull this out of my asshole, but I'm guessing that cast cost them quite a bit and the viewing returns couldn't justify it.

Which sucks, because it was a actually novel and interesting show.

Normally, that would have meant I wouldn't have even started watching it because I would assume eminent cancellation, but I actually figured the cast worked in its favor. Guess I was wrong.

Oh Netflix, you're still finding new ways to show me I was right to cancel my decade-long subscription.

Oh, I get the confusion. You didn't actually read the shitty article.

Admittedly, it's not really worth reading. But, if you're going to die on this hill, you might want to give it a glance.

This wasn't some one-off example of distracted driving, or poor decision making from an unformed mind. It's a pattern of behavior, that has been conditioned, and reconditioned into him.

It is extremely unlikely, that this little hiccup, changes that for him. I'd say the odds of that happening are about as good as you winning the lottery.

Edit: After reading Foggy's comment providing even more information, I take back everything I said and am now actually upset that he lived. The world would have been made slightly better had he not survived.

Okay ... All of that could be true, and then some, and it still wouldn't give the DMCA any legal jurisdiction in Germany, or Mexico, or anywhere else that isn't America..

Is this thread about some moral invective? Or is it about the DMCA?

No, it's not wishing harm, it's wishing to prevent future harm to innocent bystanders.

He wasn't doing donuts in the parking lot, or some other relatively isolated teenage idiocy.

He was engaging in behavior that could have easily killed an entire family who just happened to be on the road with him. Considering he comes from wealth, and walked away unscathed, I doubt any lesson was learned, because that's what history shows us.

Because of that, the odds are high that this won't be the last time he takes the lives of innocent bystanders into his hands for hearts and likes.

I'm sure when we read the article in 6 months how he mowed down a mother and three kids while live streaming, you will still feel the same way.

What? You think his parents mortgaged their house for that car? Or that he paid for it, and his lifestyle, entirely from his streaming earnings? lol no.

If he hit a triple to get there, you might have a point. But he was born on third base, and something tells me his parents aren't going to send him back to first.

But maybe you're right, maybe we're in the dawn of a new day where rich kids crashing expensive cars, and walking away unharmed, will actually make them better people and help them grow...

No, a normal person would hope that a shithead who is endangering the lives of the public, and who will eventually kill someone if they aren't stopped, would have learned a lesson.

Walking away unscathed, and continuing to stream for hearts and likes, while your friend is bleeding from the head, does not impart that lesson upon them.

I didn't say I wish they were dead, I said it's unfortunate they weren't hurt, because that might have saved someone else's life in the future.

I'm sorry, is this about Independence Day? Or the DMCA?

You mean someone who's endangering the lives of the public for views....?

Someone whose actions could have easily killed someone... for likes and hearts...?

For the record, I'm not annoyed by them, I detest them. Not for their job, but because of their actions, you know, like a normal person would.
