It really isn’t quite that simple. There are Intersex people who have ambiguous genitalia and there are several viable chromosome combos besides XX and XY.

Using accurate information? Not ignoring the complexities of the world?
That comment is absolutely correct; to make things more confusing, people whose sex appears female can turn out to have XY allosomes in some, or all[0], of their cells.
(Or that is the theory I heard why no one is streaming it.)
Other shows got redone with other music so they could release it, but music is pretty heavily used in the wonder years.
Alternatively consider reducing your addiction to television/movies and stop worrying about where your next fix is coming from. In the golden era of piracy I used to be a huge media pack rat spending hours a day obtaining more media to stash away. One day my ZFS array puked and I lost almost everything. I wasn't even upset. It was a blessing in disguise to be liberated from caring about hoarding media. Never seeing y…
How does that happen? No redundancy?

This is a pretty disingenuous take isn't it? Dylan Mulvaney carries tampons as a service to others who might need them because she was once asked for one in a bathroom.
If you feel that this is incorrect, go to Wiki and try to edit Rachel Levine's entry to remove the word female and you can personally see how the community views this.

In 2035, your hard drive will have firmware with built-in CSAM filtering, which - after a legal battle in the high court - will get hijacked for copyright enforcement.
If you have the physical hardware, there will be people able to produce their own firmware that disables built in filtering, or at least, disables the internet connecting that reports said filtering. You'll have a server that is disconnected from the internet with all your DRM free content. They would have to outlaw personal computing, and not allow you to build your own servers with no firmware-enforced filtering, w…

Netflix actually removed a segment from an early 90s bill Nye episode because it said there are two genders.
This seems weird. No one disagrees that there are 2 biological (genetic) genders. Gender identity is something entirely else that is being actively researched. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6677266/

Our public libraries are underfunded and used as a punching bag by conservatives. Libraries have very limited shelf space and must constantly prune items from the collection. If a movie isn't checked out for a few months, it gets sold for like 50 cents and replaced with whatever is currently in demand. Most public libraries don't have the resources to archive materials. That's mostly down to academic and specialist l…
does LOC archive content that was never put on a physical format?

And there's even a third option: Rip the DVDs, keep the digital copies somewhere safe, and discard the physical discs. If you want to ensure that this remains safe, you'll need to both back up and periodically transfer the digital copies to new physical storage devices (in my case, I just upgraded from the ~4-yr-old 4TB HDD that was holding all my media to a new 16TB HDD). This is, however, kind of a necessity in any…
DVDs, sure. Is it possible to back up or store Blu-Ray media on hard drives?
Availability and ownership aside, Blu-ray is far better quality than what you’ll get on most streaming services. If I really care about a movie or show, I always get it on Blu-ray. That said, if they could shift 1080 BDs down to DVD pricing and UHD BD down to what BD costs now I would buy a lot more. I’m starting to build up a collection of UHD Blu-rays but Jesus, £20-30 per movie really adds up. Definitely paying th…
