That remote is the worst. Tiny, slippery device with no edges to grip. Super sensitive buttons so you can barely pick up without interrupting playback. Truly “design” fucking up usability if I have ever seen it.

Cable television never advertised that. Cable TV started as a “community antenna” system that served people in valleys with existing off-the-air broadcast channels (which had ads); the existence of those systems created a market for satellite-fed channels like HBO (which was always a separate subscription and ad-free) and TBS/CNN (which always carried ads). Other than the premium channels like HBO/Showtime/Cinemax, cable channels have had ads from the beginning.
Once the small cable systems and the media publishers both got consolidated, we started seeing content licensing deals and higher costs to the subscriber to pay for it - but the channels (MTV, Nickelodeon, etc) always carried ads.
What are you going on about? When have Democrat supporters ever violently responded to an election outcome?
Where do you come up with this stuff? You really put a lot of assumed beliefs/motivations on large groups of people. It’s like you’re deep in echo-chamber talking points designed to divide subgroups, but have never actually talked to “Democrats” or “liberals”.
Hint: outside of fringe communities discussing socialist philosophy, in the US “left”, “liberal”, and “Democrat” are nearly synonymous to most of the public.

Wait, I thought JD Vance was telling you not to listen to experts!

They are kind of like two hands making a handshake - they just twist/slide into each other and each is then looped around the back of the other. Very simple and effective
Have you seen these knife connectors used in aviation? They are genderless and lock together. Of course your crimp better be solid - meaning proper connector for the wire size and proper crimping tool die.
Yes, people select articles and propagate/disseminate them by choosing to post them. They often select based on their motive.
I wouldn’t expect that to be a controversial fact. There is some active editorial intent involved in choosing articles to post.
The same thing that accelerated email’s consolidation may affect the fediverse as well - spam.
