You mean the web, not the internet. And no, they’re not the only reason, they just help facilitate consumer protection in ways that happen to be mutually beneficial—not motivated by altruism. There are a lot of people who work a lot harder than the EU, often for free, who are much more responsible for the web and the internet itself being in a decent state and being worth caring about.
Lucky for me I don’t give a shit what the EU thinks
Yeah, you guys are always “just asking questions”, aren’t you? That’ll be all.
Musk deserves a long drop from a short rope. Aside from that, I’m a no sea lions allowed zone, so you’d best be on your way.

You can get 32GB of laptop RAM for like $60 to $80 if you find sales, and even one 16GB stick would be an upgrade for you. Modern bloat is so bad that having 8 gigs of RAM is the equivalent of having 4 a few years ago.

I think he meant that we’d be the ones blowing it up, or the ROC would do it themselves, and I think that’s probably true.
We do know that Archer is probably from Utica, or at least not from Albany, given that he’s never seen using the phrase “steamed hams” to refer to hamburgers.

Heartbreaking delay, Switch owners have almost no retro-inspired roguelikes to choose from.
Right, but my point is that it still holds up even then. It still holds up with the original effects, too. Maybe the death of the mid-budget production is the real issue here, because if I were running the show I would aggressively slash the fuck out of the VFX budget to make room for additional episodes over a longer shooting schedule, and the idea of sacrificing eye candy and having the show just look decent doesn’t really fly anymore. I think even a showrunner with serious weight to throw around would still promptly be fired for shooting a science fiction show that went 5 to 10 episodes without a major action setpiece because he wanted to film people calmly talking about ethical dilemmas in a room with flat, even TV lighting.
I agree with your points about overworking the cast and crew, but that’s not actually necessary either: it’s well within Paramount’s power to spend the money on doing it right and take the time on doing it right and treat people like they aren’t animals. And if wishes were horses, beggars would ride.
Ultimately, there is one person at whom the buck stopped and the decision was made—there always is—and I still want to smear dog shit on the door handles of his car.
Don’t get me wrong, SNW is great: in my mind, it’s the first good Star Trek show to broadcast since VOY went off the air (not a high bar to clear, I know, but it’s still meant as a compliment), and I just wish there was more of it instead of the other stupid shit Paramount incinerates money on.
Right, but at the height of TNG (and DS9, to a lesser extent) you were effectively guaranteed somewhere between 0 and 2 bad episodes a season.
It’s not, I installed it in the U.S. just fine.
