Part of the fun of a forum is interacting with people as well, which OP didn’t do. Just shit in the forum and fucked off.

What’s the deal with poorly explained questions?

Why don’t they provide more context for their perspective? Do they think people will magically know what they mean without them explaining it?

With corporate bankrolling comes corporate meddling.

But not the skies, those belong to the birds.

Science can be open, industry can be secure. The latter tends to bend the former to its will, in most capitalism based systems, though.

The average person is tired from having to work themselves to exhaustion just to support themselves and their family. Often they just want something easy to watch, without the commitment of something with more depth.

Is that why they kicked me out of the theater?

Don’t forget the steady fracturing of media licenses across dozens of services, coupled with enhanced enshittification.

Everyone’s focusing so much on exclusivity to draw people in while their service quality quickly jumps straight down the nearest manhole.

Momoa can do egotistical pretty, but I haven’t seen him do outrageous and bombastic boastful, which is what I’ve always seen Lobo portrayed as.

I assumed they were talking about the comics, which tend to reset the timeline every decade or so. This is contrasted with Marvel comic’s floating timeline, which hasn’t really reset all that much.

The role was of a washed-up lead who chewed through ever set he’d ever been on. Of course he was perfect for it.

Alien is also a survival horror movie, not an action movie. Aliens is an action movie.

Shouldn’t he do The Illiad first?

What leaf blower allows for neat little piles?

You can probably stop before you even start reading and not miss anything important.

Voting.

It’s not direct, and it’s not simple, but it’s about as good as it gets in any kind of representative democracy.

It used to be $5.

I’ve always seen most of Baron-Cohen’s stuff as satire for people who hate subtlety and want to feel superior to others.

Yeah, it signals to every both sider that they were right all along, and all the people they’ve been prosthelytizing to might actually start believing them.

If you want to be on the side of democracy, you don’t just decide to stop being democratic unless you’ve given up.

You’re not going to solve anything by playing by their rules, you’re only going to galvanize them. They are the party of “government doesn’t work”, doing this just gives them more ammo.

Cooking takes time, ingredients, and if you want it palatable, ability. Fast food takes driving up to a location and saying “give me something easy”.

It’s not as fast as it used to be, but it’s still relatively quick, especially if it’s on your way home from wherever you are. Any extra time is just spent doomscrolling on your phone or listening to your preferred media pundit.
