That's not sarcastic, though. Police are cowards. See: waiting outside a school building for hours while elementary children are being shot.

It's a big reason why Malcom X is vilified in history class and we're all told his protests were ineffective background noise, even though the civil rights movements would likely have failed without him. They prefer peaceful non-threatening protests that they can either ignore or decimate at will.

Yeah, Thanos has principles and his actions are backed by altruism. Musk is a spineless self-serving parasite with actions backed my ketamine.

Eh, with that logic you could argue that all music streaming services are the same product with different front ends. Which, in a way, is kinda true...

Go existed for a few years before Now was released, and they were separate websites/apps. I'd say they qualify as different products. I would be interested to know if they shared any backend tech though. Would probably save a pretty penny if they shared a CDN.

HBO Go required a cable subscription and Now didn't. I think both of them only had shows produced by HBO, so it was a much smaller collection.

Go was around for a few years as the only HBO streaming platform, but it came with your cable subscription, so you had to pay for a super expensive cable package to access it. That's partly why Game of Thrones was the top pirated TV show ever, at least at the time.

They eventually released Now, which to my understanding was just Go but you could pay for it directly without a cable package. Both Go and Now existed simultaneously for a few years.

Eventually HBO Max was released, which is the platform we know today with a lot more than just HBO content. That one was renamed to just Max and is now being renamed again back to HBO Max because Max is a stupid name.

Goose is ez, grab by neck and swing. I'm taking about dog and cat like animals. Good luck shoving your arm down a Goose's throat. If you can manage that, the Goose has bigger things to worry about than suffocation.
