What Are You Doing Right Now

@WrCombs I can't get rid of Netflix (don't have cable) but I probably will write them a sternly worded email. People are dumb enough already, no need for Netflix to help.

I just discovered that Netflix is going even further to destroy scientific literacy by giving Gwyneth Paltrow a show for her bullshit Goop website. I thought the Bill Nye show was bad enough - he would not engage in any actual, reasonable debate with any guests. Instead, he just bashed them as people to "disprove" their ideas. What a fuckbag. Way to usher society backwards, Netflix.
I agree, Bill Nye creates flat earthers. He can't explain science, he uses science as a weapon. I hated him even way back when. He never taught people to think, he might promote the right answers, but he does so in a way that doesn't teach people to reach the same conclusion, but to blindly follow. He's like a religious leader, not a scientist or educator.

@scottalanmiller he's also in bed with the current administration as well as climate change deniers and anti-women politicians. And he's a pompous douche.

No, but it might make me feel better. I imagine I won't be the only one to tell Netflix that they need to stick to entertainment and cut back on the pseudo-science misinformation.

I actually never watched Bill Nye - I watched Mr Wizard.

Why do you need netflix since you don't have cable? there are tons of other options out there.
I think Netflix just came out with something I wanted to watch recently.. so I'm likely going to keep it another month or two.. but I will likely kill it after that - at least for a while.
oh wait - maybe not.. I just remember - I now get it basically for free because I'm with T-Mobile.

We were forced to watch Bill Nye in elementary and Middle school.
It was after High school i found out he wasn't actually a scientist, but an engineering student. -

I get that that's sarcasm (but only because you said so) - but I don't see how anyone anywhere thinks that, so I'm not sure where the comment really comes from?

Completely random thought.
netflix as a whole is huge with people in my age group.
If you don't have netflix then you're missing out on tv shows that everyone's watching? my age group basically grew up on netflix ever since out teen years , so it's normal? idk. -

Without cable, my choices are limited - Netflix, Prime, Hulu (which I despise, but I recently caved and let my gf log in to her friend's premium account so we could watch Letterkenny)... And I'm not dissatisfied with Netflix in general, no reason to ditch it. Tons of great stand-up comedy on there, plus other stuff I like. My point is that Goop/Paltrow provide TONS of irresponsibly bad info to idiots, so they should maybe step back and think about how that show will negatively impact the world before greenlighting it. But then again, part of me would love to see that show produce a wealth of Darwin awards for the idiots who follow her "health" advice, which would, ideally, end up with her being discredited as a human being and force the end of her "career".

Sure Netflix is probably highly rated among people in your age range, but meh - I have no clue if their originals appeal more to your age group or not.

Why does everyone hate Hulu so much?
It's the main network I watch these days (well, at least during normal fall/winter/spring TV season.
Summertime and breaks I'm watching re-runs on whatever network has the show I want.

I'm not in his age range, but youtube is basically the dumpster juice runoff of the internet. whereas Netflix actually posts things that someone who's past adolescence might actually want to see. Example - my gf's 14 year old son has youtube or tiktok shoved up his face 28 hours a day, 33 days a week. If the rest of us are watching something, he usually gets booted to the other room for being disruptive (cackling like an idiot, talking to the screen with headphones on, etc). That is youtube in a nutshell to me. The stupid leading the easily led automatons of the world. I occasionally use it to listen to music, but I still place it in the same boat as things like buzzfeed.

because hulu is so damn expensive for no ads, live tv, etc. I paid 55 a month for hulu + live tv and no commercials for 2 months.
Netflix is cheaper than hulu (only down side, is no live tv.) with no commercials.
