Naming and shaming all "recurring spending models" where a one-time fee (or none at all) would be appropriate and logical.
Expect use of strong language.
Follow the basic rules of lemmy.world and common sense, and try to have fun if possible.
No flamewars or attacking other users, unless they're spineless corporate shills.
Note that not all subscriptions are awful. Supporting your favorite ~~camgirl~~ creator or Lemmy server on Patreon is fine. An airbag with subscription is irl Idiocracy-level dystopian bullshit.
New community rule: Shilling for cunty corporations, their subscriptions and other anti-customer practices may result in a 1-day ban. It's so you can think about what it's like when someone can randomly decide what you can and can't use, based on some arbitrary rules. Oh what, you didn't read this fine print? You should read what you're agreeing to.

The first D&D episode is so good, and it's unfortunate that you miss what was an excellent story because of overreaching insensitivity.
It's the best and most heartfelt episode of the series. I feel bad for the actor that played fat Neil.They even address the blackface in the episode. I don't know who are the mental midgets who make these decisions. Also, the cut episode of Bob and David is also idiotic.
I really disliked the first D&D episode, because (a) why are they pretending D&D is a turn-based game, it's not like they're in combat. (Nobody ever portrays D&D accurately on TV.) (b) this is actually peak Pierce-being-an-asshole. I rewatched the series and didn't hate him nearly as much as my first watch, and I believe this episode's omission is why.
Not saying it should have been removed, but I wouldn't have picked any other episode over this one.
