  1. So I watched the whole video and now I have to learn to unwatch stuff. Leaving behind plot holes and half-baked supervillians and tone changes (at least half the show), the show just looks ****ing boring. Like somehow the CW made a trek-like drama series, but middle aged folks instead of thirty year old teenagers and no cop procedurals. 10 hours of cgi Reaper ripoffs would be more interesting than this stuff, which neither allows actors to act or really delivers anything beyond emotion bombs lobbed at the audience with poor setup. This is worse than I thought it was. I want to slam a road roller into the show.
  2. I got 4 and a half minutes in and had to quit when they were talking about pollution shields and ocean purifying microbes and space fascists led by Data's great great grandpa. This is somehow dumber than my non-existent expectations for the show. Let's see how the rest of the video goes.
  3. The AC is back and just in time for potentially record breaking heat. Time to relax in the cool air.
  4. The Northman. While it's visually impressive, very much so, I also think it's (currently) least among Robert Eggers' films. By no means does that make it bad, but compared to The VVitch and The Lighthouse, it's feels like sacrificing some of the crazier moments and suspense in favor of action scenes. Which isn't a good trade for me. The VVitch will make my list of top horror films and The Lighthouse is just something else, but The Northman just doesn't feel as profound for me. And I don't usually like to do this but **** it
  5. That sounds really good, guess I'll add it to the increasing watch list behind the anime that sounds like a drug.
  6. The FBI was too busy harassing environmental activists. I guess impeding construction on a pipeline is more important than some people's lives. If anything, the rona has seemed to make our national pastime more common. If it's like Dylan Roof, they probably bought him a burger on the way to jail.
  7. I think it's pretty dumb in universe too. "We nuked the planet to **** and then pulled ourselves up by the bootstraps" seems a bit too optimistic, even by the standards of Trek. Sure some would earn achievements through that struggle, but a whole lot more would probably die. Using the irl earth as an example again, if there was an organization like the Federation out there I'd sure hope that they wouldn't let us all die to climate catastrophe or a nuclear holocaust to satisfy an ideological commitment that half of their captains end up breaking anyways.
  8. Before I can condemn military forces attacking mourners at the funeral of someone said military forces murdered earlier this week, I will need to confirm that Hamas was not hiding in the coffin.
  9. The Prime Directive is a product of that writing. I think that don't give cavemen tech weapons is one thing, but the refusal to make contact or help out is another. Perhaps it doesn't make as good storytelling, but it seems mean spirited to deny helpful technology to people that could really use it. I mean, if there was an alien organization like Starfleet irl that knew about out planet and didn't help us out with our apocalyptic predicament(s), they would be top tier ****. But I also think the Mauquis were right. https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-celebrities/actors/frank-langella-net-worth/ I would much prefer to have $5 mil in the bank instead of the very American reality of working too much for too little. The "cancelled" guys need to get some perspective.
  10. **** it, hot take time. The Prime Directive has always been bull**** used to justify some incredibly questionable writing in regards to inaction.
  11. I guess I'll miss the opportunity then, somehow I think I'll survive. In other news, my ac is out.
  12. He's had to recall like a quarter of all the cars Tesla ever made and mutilated some monkeys to test out a brain chip that doesn't work. There is no way in hell I'm going to sleep in anything made by a Musk company.
  13. Color me shocked. I guess we'll have to wait until the midterms for Democrats to do nothing again and beg us to vote in 2024. The person you're talking to agrees with both of those dogwhisltes as well. Some folks care more about geopolitical power relations than they do principles and they toss in a dose of brown people bad for good measure, so when Russia targets (white) civilians it's barbarity, but when Israel targets (brown) civilians it's necessity and the fault of Hamas. Weird that some people can't be consistent and condemn the murder of civilians universally, but the real world is a very strange place.
  14. I'm pretty sure the season finale will be the group taking a trip to Morioh and getting caught in the crossfire between Wonder of U and Soft & Wet. Hopefully Stalker Girl still has the heart attack or stroke though.
  15. but how will we see Komi-san's panties if their is no stalker girl ? surly you don't want that ?
  16. Yeah, I think it's similar in most cities in every country that housing has increased substantially than wages. I'm not sure of the specifics though, for instance I've read that Tokyo apartments are more affordable than their comparisons in NYC or London. At any rate, it's a rough deal to be working and renting these days.
  17. I can't reasonably afford to buy a house, and last time I tried it got picked up for several 10ks above asking with cash and is currently being rented out. My rent has been steadily increasing* and even making more now it's getting to be a struggle for me to keep up with. Comparatively, bad tenants is a problem I'd love to have. Green grass on the other side and all that. *While nowhere in Texas is like the Bay Area, LA, or NYC level of housing costs, wages are lower and there are no (legal) limits to how much rent can be raised. Given the influx of (relatively) rich Californians looking to cosplay cowboy here, I have a feeling it's about to get even crazier in most major Texas cities.
  18. Perhaps this is a controversial statement, but those are two incredibly ****ty things that kind of make you a bad guy regardless.
  19. Well I'm going in blind so we'll see how it goes
  20. Ronald (6) Wilson (6) Reagan(6). It turns out that instead of some metal ****, hell is Marvel movies and nfts. What a disappointment.
