To add to what burndown said.

Before streaming services were the de facto place to watch movies and TV at home, cable companies would charge a monthly fee to provide live cable TV. TV shows aired weekly and if you miss an episode on Cable, unless you happened to set it to record, you can't watch that episode until the network decides to air it again, hours or days later, what was known as a "rerun."

Cable is a live broadcast sent from the cable provider, (think youtube livestreams that play family guy 24/7) streaming is an on-demand platform for content. So in Canada, if the only place to watch Game of Thrones legally is cable, that limits your viewing time, what episode you watch, and the order in which you watch the show/movies, greatly impacting the viewing experience.

So cable and streaming are separate, cable is more expensive and less enjoyable than streaming, but at the end of the day they're two different methods of watching TV.

Yeap. SAPD shoots and kills a handful of people a year, often times the body cam footage gets posted and nothing gets done. Hopefully things will be different this time, but damn. This is fucked.

I had a close family friend shot and killed by SAPD last year. Not surprised to hear this, but damn.

Good grief, their community list is absolutely bloated, probably an attempt at powermoderating or domain squatting if I had to guess. It is unfortunate that they're modding LGBTQ+ though, they seem to suffer from a case of "enlightened centrism" and that is pretty harmful given today's climate for trans rights. (For context, the post in question is a single panel comic of a trans person dragging a child into an gender affirming care clinic, basically perpetuating the groomer libel of LGBTQ+ people)

Great question! Hover over the name IShowRonaldo and wait for the popup window, or click to visit their profile, then simply click the symbol to the right of the "Follow" button. Glad you asked, hope this helps everyone! I wasn't sure how to do it until now, good time to learn as ever.
