Yeah, it’s not a happy show.
Stargate SG-1, despite the tragic backgrounds of some of the leads, well, we see one plot unfold in the pilot, is one of the more fun and positive sci-fi shows around.

They say if you don’t pay, you’re the product, but that’s obviously bullshit, paying solves nothing. The saying should be never trust corporations.
And GOG. They used to have several games up there, and then delisted them.
Streaming services, digital services in general, should be made to compete on having the best platform, not on exclusive content.
It’s all the same wires going to the same machines. Internationally, too. I can see maybe allowing for different pricing for countries with very different wage levels, but if it’s online, it should be available everywhere.
Windows 7 is my last Windows. Windows 10 is my current Windows. Looks like a safe bet to keep skipping at least one version. I did also go from XP to 7.
The AIs are the ones gaslighting.
Copyright only exists to serve society, to promote the creation of content. It’s not about restricting anything, other than as far as it helps more people create, more creation happen. Corporations stomping on individuals does not promote creation.
We should worry more about what corporations are doing with people’s work, than what individuals are doing with what they’ve paid for.
Or simply, if someone’s profiting off of someone else’s work, then worry about the rules.
It’s only politics because people go out of their way to oppress them. There’s nothing to be political about if people are allowed to be who they are.
Such a waste not supporting nuclear power since decades ago.
Shouldn’t have renewable energy targets, but deadlines for shutting down all coal power plants, then oil, and production of fossil fuel vehicles, then a cap on the amount of natural gas that can be used.
Right, we need net zero emissions, no further destruction of nature, and then we can start doing something to undo what we’ve already done.
There’s also more freshwater in Antarctica than in the rest of the world. Quite a waste, and enough of it to contaminate every source across the planet.
Of course. Climate change is happening, and will keep getting worse until all the biggest countries agree to do and actually go through with doing something substantial about it (or to fully isolate the economies of those that refuse). Nuclear war is just an idea.
Is killing the point? Just make it all better. Get rid of DRM and subscriptions to play your own games, let people use LAN and their own servers for multiplayer.
Only need term limits for non-proportional systems, like the one seat for president. If Congress was proportional to the national vote, term limits is just an unnecessary complication.
Apu was one of my favorite characters, and next to the rest of Springfield I wouldn’t say he was portrayed as any kind of bad guy. But I think it’s entirely fair to find fault with him and the stereotypes used.
The “This is why we can’t have nice things” guys are the ones who use this type of character to mock people of Indian descent. Having heard about their experiences, I would say that the bare minimum that should be done is involve someone from the community you’re portraying, when creating a character who stands out as someone of that community.
Yes, a whole lot of people work hard, and don’t get meaningfully compensated for it. But it’s not about people on small amounts of welfare vs. the working poor (who also might be on welfare), that’s not where you’re going to find the wealth that’s been stolen.
Well, the US is the country with the most people of Norwegian descent, ahead of Norway. Of course it helps up the number when you can include people with less than 100% ancestry in a much larger country.
