I mean, I am not a huge fan of the show and didn’t finish it. But the first season was stellar. But that aside, reading your other comments it seems like you don’t like a lot of modern shows. Which is fine, but personally I find older stuff I watched when I was a girl just sorta meaningless. X files had so many skipable episodes without serving the overarching plot. I’m honestly kinda baffled that you would prefer monster of the week instead of expanse and breaking bad, but you are allowed to think as you please. Just seems at odd with two of the most higely praised shows of recent history.

And I don’t super appreciate being called bro… >_>

That’s… not what the poster was saying. Prestige TV extends much farther than the mafia genre, sopranos was just the turning point when higher budget dramatic things were more commonly greenlit.

The Wire, Breaking Bad, Watchmen, The Expanse Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead, Mad Men etc all absolutely blow X files out of the water. And while I do love X files, the monster of the week format is not even in the same ballpark as those long form character dramas.

I think you might be letting nostalgia blind you to how great television has become.

5 responses in 3 minutes? Yeah, no. I’m not engaging with whatever tf this is. Using debate terminology does not mean you have a logical argument and I’m not about to go through economic semantics while you play ignorant. Think as you please and I encourage you to tell/show as many people as you can about this interaction.

Lmao. I hope you are just trolling because that’s a 2nd grade answer. There is no way you are a serious person who has serious opinions about the world.

you can’t decide what happens to it.

But what DOES happen with it? The store restocks.

What exactly do you think happens to the money you spend at the grocery store on bacon? It goes to the people producing it. And then they make more.

iknorite?

Cows are the finest example of the proletariat. The only service they provide to the economy is their body itself, so they are literally stripped of it to enrich others with more power, just an endless cycle of suffering.

Not quite, the whole “Enlighten centerist” is a crap feel good argument to side with oppressers out of personal convience, far from a legitimate political perspective.

But this isn’t politics, it’s me as part of the <1% outsider vegan community in a EXTREMELY carnist world. I’m just so bloody tired of people talking about the horrors of “animal abuse” as they pay others to perpetuate it. It’s less centerist, and more annoyance at large scale cognitive dissonance from a historical norm.

Like Republicans are anti-whaling anyways… 🙄

The selective outrage over animal rights is such manufactured bullshit. But if I am being honest, democrats, progressives and leftists are all equally culpable in these do nothing virtue signal outrages. If you are wearing leather, eating meat and financing animal factory farming, I don’t wanna hear about your crocodile tears when an imaginary whale or a fictional dog is hurt.

In November 2022, McCormick noticed a news report detailing an “unauthorized and unlicensed cannabis farm, located on unincorporated land,” that was raided by members of the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office. McCormick then met with members of the sheriff’s office to provide paperwork showing the legality of his cannabis farm.

At around 4:30 a.m. local time on December 7, McCormick was woken up by members of the sheriff’s office as they began their raid.

Fuck! He proactively went to show his legal status and all that did was put himself on their radar.

However, the sheriff’s office was informed by members of the tribe that they were not authorized to conduct the raid on their land. In turn, members of the sheriff’s office said the tribal members “didn’t know what they were talking about,” the lawsuit said.

Much of McCormick’s property and cannabis plants were destroyed during the raid and officers confiscated $300,000 from the tribe’s safe.

Outright theft. They had no jurisdiction and didn’t care that they didn’t.

Additionally, the lawsuit said that on January 8, 2023, McCormick’s "family home ‘mysteriously’ caught fire, after the sheriff’s office ordered power and water to his property to be turned off, resulting in the home “being completely burned down,” along with much of his personal belongings.

Why would the water be shut off?! Goddamnit. Every part of this article is infuriating, nothing about this was law enforcement, just armed thugs raiding locals for fun and profit.

Calling it now,the next MCU Kang appearance will be by Don Cheadle with the first line being…

“I’m here, deal with it.”

Violent bigots come in ever flavor. At a certain point, it’s not worth the effort to suss out the source of their prejudices. It’s an unanswerable question that leads to the same dissapointment in simple minded zealotry no matter their specific path.

I’d rather spend time trying to understand the ones I respect instead of getting lost in the maze of a random scum.

I blame 50% William Gibson, and 50% Ridley Scott.

that people would “celebrate” if it were fictitious.

Well that’s just delusional. How exactly did he make it this far while having trouble separating TV from reality?

That’s nice. But since he wasn’t elected and isn’t part of the presidental cabinet why should anyone care?

I have a life altering physical disability from a dog attack while working delivery, two dogs ran around her when the client opened the door. It required surgery, years of PT and I am no longer able to stand or walk for more than a few hours. I live my life in constant pain because of another person’s recklessness.

That poor child, what an atrocious way to die. This careless woman is a monster. But more over, people need to understand that dogs are dangerous, just because they are friendly with YOU does not mean they aren’t a threat to others.

Thank you for the recognition Mike! I am prepared to personally accept whatever award you have for making God angry. It’d be a goddamn pleasure!

I’m stuck somewhere between getting my GF a memorable Christmas gift and giving a dirtbag money…

Good! Great! I hope it leads to change!

For all the talk by transphobes about “protecting women’s sports”, they do shockingly little to actually help those groups.

Yuuuup. Oh well. At this pint I think it would be more embarrassing to go back and edit. 😂

I deferred to Wikipedia.
