A Sokku if you will.

Going on a long rant and then finishing it with something akin to “just kidding bro”… not so much, no.

Capitalism and the “American Dream”. The idea that if you just work hard and keep your head down, all your wildest dreams will come true.

I feel like you taking it as a dig instead of playful banter means it lives a little more in your head than theirs.

Maybe take these things a little less seriously.

Everyone on the internet is Little Bitty except you.

Sounds like justification for some overwhelming force for the police, to me.

You mean aside from all the founding fathers in jars?

Well it’s made up of four distinct islands in a sort of stretched out chain whereas Germany is more a big block of land in the middle of a continent (depending on your preferred definition of what that is).

All arguments are semantic arguments if you’re pedantic enough.

The Orville had that in the first season or so, after that it went heavy into serialization. I dont think I even finished whatever the last season was because of it.

and more No Man’s Sky

Speaking of highly overrated things…

Battlestar Galactica. Like a lot of the shows people have been mentioning, all it did was raise the stakes every episode. It didn’t feel like it was building anything meaningful, just building up to something.

The most meaningful example of this (spoilers for like a twenty year old show) for me was when they’re in the ship looking for water or whatever and the human cylon just ignores the indicator saying “Water here! Check here!” and the scene just. keeps. going. I swear it felt like half the episode.

Where’s that copypasta about Rick & Morty…

I miss when shows could just grow in the first season or two, and then you’d only get raising stakes two or three times a year (season finale/premier and sweeps). Otherwise they’re just stories.

These days shows have to justify themselves right out of the gate.

As I recall that hypothetical requires that you start with the ship and replace things over time, not that you saw it once and try to replicate it.

It looks like it might be in front of the left side seat, not on the floor, but the perspective is weird.

One data point a life cycle does not define.

We don’t really know what their lifecycle is like. For that matter, we don’t really know that he’s actually an infant, just that he doesn’t verbally communicate, is smol, and primarily traveled in a hover-crib in the first season or so. He could be a teenager in the yoda-species lifecycle.

Mean old caca heads, the lot of them.

I wonder how many make fun of those people who want to get rid of Obamacare because they have the ACA to take care of them.
