[quote=ynwtf]Just to be clear, I am not saying that I am an alt account. I'm just ...asking? I really don't know.

[quote=ynwtf]Shouldn't that post count as 2?[/quote]

[quote=ynwtf]i have this theory that's been brewing in my brain matter for a while now. i think it's near ready.

I've noticed my memory has been slipping the last few  years. I wouldn't go so far to say that I have lost time or blackouts, but not remembering things from a few days ago still gets my attention.

8 minutes ago, as of starting this sentence, I replied to DD's MAX joke. I lol'd. You don't need me to explain it all, you can read the shouts for yourself. My point here is that I replied. To DD. [i]Again[/i].

I noticed he was in the online users list, but within minutes was gone.

This is curious. For countless months now, I've not been able to log in here and DD be on as well. It seems to be one or the other of us at any given time. At first, I dismissed this to work schedules. Now, I'm not so sure.

I wonder if ...

I wonder if maybe we're the same person. I mean, we've all seen Fight Club. And no, I am not suggesting that I can fight or anything. Maybe DD can? If so, that kinda gives weight to my theory here. Maybe.... Just MAYBE, we're the same person? He MIGHT be a second personality of mine, having manifested from the last decade of anxieties and fears. Perhaps he takes over when things get to be too much for my fragile little mind.

On the other hand, perhaps all that I know to be "life" is a fiction, and I am the alternate personality manifested to help HIM with HIS ongoing anxieties and triggers. Hm. That seems reasonable, considering how many stresses I've gone through lately. My point of view could all be imagined---overflow, if you will, from DD's real life drama with me acting as a pressure valve, where my stressors are ghosts, echoing from DD's subconscious mind.

wow. just... wow.

Am I someone else's imagination?! We rarely post at the same times of day. DoubleD, if you're out there (or in here?) give me a sign, buddy.[/quote]

[quote=doubledenim][font=century gothic]It’s not streaming. It’s MAX.[/font][/quote]

[quote=John McClane]i've gone from being a regular on and off HBO subscriber to actively hating their very existence. so if that's what they were going for i say they are doing a bang up job[/quote]

[quote=ynwtf]it seems to be moving that direction. the new MAX (or whatever it's now called) has several sub-channels as part of the service. It's acting more like a hub. I'm not really complaining, but my home library is saturated with t.v. series titles. It has gotten more difficult to find movies. They're still there, but priority seems to be given to television with the last update.

Wait. Why is HBO using "MAX" in its app naming? Wouldn't that be confusing to Cinemax fans?? iderno if Cinemax is even around anymore, to be honest.[/quote]

[quote=John McClane]i think my life will be easier if i just pretend HBO is a relic of the past. like floppy disks[/quote]

[quote=Austruck][quote=John McClane]out of curiosity i looked at Max's prices last night. the cost for getting 4K now means i will never watch another HBO show. ever.

I have no idea if this helps you, but I subscribe to Starz through my Amazon Prime Video subscription for an added nine bucks a month or so. (I tend to add it when a series restarts, then drop it again once the season ends.) You can also add Max that way, I THINK. Might be cheaper than a standalone subscription? 

ALSO, Max is apparently not just HBO streaming. I'm seeing a ton of non-HBO shows that make Max seem more like another full streaming service. Go figure. Like we need another one of THOSE.

Also also... a bunch of HBO series end up showing up in other streaming services eventually, so you might not be able to watch them brand-new but could eventually watch them through something like Netflix.[/quote]
