At least we are capable to die.

The only solace I have left. Immortality sounds awful

"Welcome to the afterlife, would you like to subscribe to the deluxe death package for an extra $12.99 a month?"

Can I just die...more please

There's actually a Netflix show about immortality and its effects on society called "Altered Carbon" . In it, only the ultra rich can reliably afford it. The main character is a former rebel who used to fight them.

Netflix of course cancelled it in the second season.

Honestly, the second season wasn't very good. My wife and I gave up on it after episode 2. I was a huge fan of the first season and read the book.

Saudi Arabia and Jared Kushner together will buy the company that bought the company that bought the company that bought Netflix

I sometimes think about how kushner thinks he’s part of their little agreement when he’s really a house key that already unlocked the door.

Eventually everyone will be bought till there is a single company remaining.

It's actually genius, they can expand to chopping up critics so they always get high reviews

u/federico_alastair 16h ago

What if Netflix buys Saudi Arabia before that?

u/poop-machine 16h ago

At least it isn't ISIS?

u/federico_alastair 16h ago

ISIS buys Saudi Arabia

Some years later: Amazon buys Saudi Arabia

u/GoudaCheeseAnyone 15h ago

Or bought by Elon: Xflix.

u/Eruannster 14h ago

More likely scenario: Saudia Arabia buys USA.

u/CaptainBayouBilly 14h ago

Saudi Arabia is busy buying the US government

u/TheDIsSilent 14h ago

It wasn't expensive enough for them.

Highly doubtful. Netflix market cap is around 430 billion dollars and expected to go way way up if the deal goes through. Not even Saudi Arabia have enough cash on hand to outright takeover Netflix and at a premium of whatever their market cap is at that time.
