Raised by Wolves had a great intro theme and art style.

I would list the great Star Trek opening themes, but honestly they are long and can be a bit much when you’re on your like eighth episode in a row.

I use private trackers exclusively for content I want to “own” or want in the highest possible quality. Stremio/RD is great though for my wife to be able to search new media and potentially stream in okay quality without fucking with sonarr. Or popular TV you’re maybe not sold on but would try an episode. Or for old SD content, like tossing on a 90s show for a few episodes. To be honest, I live in a world of ad block and Stremio is sometimes the only way I even know something is out…

Anyway, they complement each other well.

Yeah, I’ll be honest I’m pretty tuned out on the Dems, but the first time I heard about this was an unwanted donation solicitation that started like “I just got off the senate floor…” and it made it feel so transparent that right now, it’s performative bullshit.

Could be the start of something, but it won’t be until the Dems prove they’re effective at something other than fundraising to lose elections.

Exactly. DEI as a term is just a lightning rod for idiots at the moment so maybe you just publicly stop calling it that and keep everything else the same.

I dunno how to interpret this honestly. On its face this reflects poorly on Paramount, but we live in an oligarchy and I don’t really blame them for trying to avoid pissing off the volatile baby that runs this country when DEI can still be achieved without using that terminology directly.

Is there evidence that this division of their corporation was actually doing anything different than before the term DEI even existed? Or that Paramount has current issues with diversity?

Yeah, at least they don’t violate conservation of matter like the Dooplers appear to.

I never really thought about it, but you’re right, the Dooplers are too over the top and only make sense in a cartoon context.

The Pandronians from TAS and LD (the species that effectively have three independent parts) also make no sense outside of a cartoon.

Flak cannon all the way, but I spent many days in high school instagibbing my friends so the shock rifle does hold a special place in my heart.

Certain ones, like music trackers, can still be interviewed into. Once you get into an initial tracker and establish yourself, it becomes easier to find / get into new ones via forum invites. It’s a long road but barring a time machine it’s the easiest way.

I dunno, maybe I just had crappy indexers but usenet was always more miss than hit for me. Maybe it’s superior to public torrents but private trackers are the gold standard.

The way the first paragraph is written made me think this is a garbage AI article, but I guess it was a joke. I hate this future.

The mistreatment of the yuppies is my favorite part of that movie. When she opens the door and gets attacked by the squirrel and then the dog, or when the icicle destroys their stereo I crack up every time.

I’m with you, I’m having a blast, but I think the reactions are because of the idea that it would be a Skyrim type game and… It’s not really even trying to be that. Like you said, it’s an ARPG, the roleplaying is basically just dialogue and most of the game is really well done exploration and combat.

Ground level infrastructure meaning the ability to get people out to do anything from marching to rioting to picketing to canvassing to voting. The Civil Rights movement wouldn’t have gotten anywhere if it hadn’t actually mobilized people and thus made people aware of / afraid of organized resistance. The Black Panthers deserve a lot of credit as well for being the armed hard core of the movement.

We’d get a lot more of what we want peacefully if oligarchs were afraid we’d rally and fuck up their businesses bottom lines AND that they might get assassinated by radicals.

Sure, whatever. I just think the way shit is credited actually matters, e.g. “Run the Jewels” isn’t a Killer Mike album even though he’s on every track, just like “Kid A” isn’t a Thom Yorke album. Shobaleader One’s work is separate from Squarepusher even though it’s literally the same person.

Artists make subtle choices when crediting their work, but yeah it’s ultimately subjective so do you.

I know you think it’s pedantic, it’s just that the artist determines what is his personal work and what isn’t. If you look up Aesop Rock’s discography, Malibu Ken isn’t on it, but Garbology is.

It’s different because MK is a duo, where Garbology is an Aesop album that basically feats. Blockhead on every track.

Malibu Ken isn’t an Aesop album it’s a Malibu Ken album. TOBACCO should not be underestimated and is great on his own too.

In my experience that’s a very appropriate boner.

I was sort of with you on the ocean stuff, swimming there isn’t really a substitute for a lifejacket, but swimming being for the privileged is a weird take.

If you don’t have access to a body of water for free, then public pools are usually cheaper than a movie ticket. You don’t need any equipment, all you need is one person that kinda half way knows how to swim and is willing to point you in the right direction.
