@KnaptonSea83490@JohnWight1 Yesss. England have some great players, and did quite well, given the humidity and conditions. But its ridiculous to suggest their group/draw was difficult. It was actually one of the easier ones. Fear of losing takes over. Look at the freedom Argentina and Spain played with.
@jay01746182@henrywinter Yes England have great players. Aside from France, probably the best players in the world. But you don't have a great team. And that's cultural as much as anything else. An individual great game defending is mistaken as a great team. Its not. The best teams are in the final.
@MissLauraMarcus@Janice5e Laura, the fact that you support, and respond to somebody who talks about keffiyeh shaggers tells me everything I need to know about you.
The uncomfortable truth:
Netflix spends $17 billion a year on content. Thousands of films. Hundreds of series. Documentaries. International cinema. Award-winning independent films.
Then it shows you 15% of it filtered through an algorithm whose only job is keeping you on the platform longer, not finding you the best film for tonight.
The codes have existed for years. Netflix has never built a menu for them. Never promoted them. Never added a "browse all categories" button.
Because a subscriber who browses by algorithm watches more hours. A subscriber who finds exactly what they want watches fewer but better hours. Netflix bills you the same either way.
The algorithm serves Netflix. The codes serve you.

@pensandpoison Yowza, I'd have quite a few of these in my top ten also - Kundera, Waugh, Eliot, Bulgakov. I'd have some Sebald and Auster and more Irish (I'm biased) - Joyce and Beckett.
@RogerGalligan@ellencarmichael Ellen's post is a performative exercise in American exceptionalism. I would wager the Narcisstic Orange One's intervention, and FIFA's corrupt decision spurred the Belgian team's performance.
@JoeBLynam@Economicopoly@davidmcw Any democratic deficit in China does not come close to closing the gap on the appalling capacity of Ireland to build infrastructure. Witness the NTA answers to the Committee on Transport today. With outsourcing over 20 years, we have hollowed out public sector expertise.
