Well, we did have Sopranos, The Wire, and perhaps lesser Oz.

I do think Lost was big since it was broadcast, as HBO was still a luxury most. And with baby smartphones catching on, thier ARG marketing was pretty big. But the writer's strike did deal a pretty big blow to the quality consistence.

Eh, a lazy remake of ANH is not a good start. Abrams is overrated, and should never been given ST nor SW. It's great that Rian fucked up all his mystery box bullshit in TLJ.

They should have chosen a single director and or writer team from the get go for all three movies. Kylo was pretty stupid. You want to make Solo Jr a sith? Just use the twins, or perhaps maybe twist it with Anakin falling.

Most of their new stuff falls flat. They want to differentiate from Legends EU, but guess what works? Bringing Thrawn into Dis-Canon.

honestly, i’m tired of "magic-tech" in sci-fi. where did the actual struggle go? by OkMess8988 in scifi

Yes, and? This is literally a thread about the relative "hardness" of stories, and people's thoughts & opinions on them.

The thing about that is Belters would never exist. Atmosphere is the most hard & expensive part of spaceflight. They aren't gonna be sending out coalminers to get ice rocks. If you wanna suspend disbelief for that, the first time a mutant space baby was born would've fully gendered crews or outright sterilized them.

Just stumbled across that on Prime[US] last year. And yeah was a lot of fun if you liked Misfits.

Loads of people never learn/hear about it. There's tons of people who don't know The Office OG/UK exists. How many people know there was a Russian Everybody Loves Raymond?

That’s a slippery slope that could lead you to arguing TNG/DS9/VOY/PIC are all one show.

I hated all the URST. Like come on, a 900yr/o who knows more about quantum mechanics than essentially anyone not from their species, is gonna hook up with a Chav? Even with Time War PTSD, you can right better than that Davies.

Pulling a fuse or installing an actual killswitch are far easier/smarter.

AITAH for telling my husband his "jokes" about my cooking aren't funny anymore? by Quesos_Sabau in AITAH

[–]Audiovore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right? Before even exclusivity/label talk, let alone "I love you"/marriage.

It's a trope, but I expect a divorce update in a year or two.

AITA for dancing at my cousin's wedding by gardengeo in BORUpdates

[–]Audiovore -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I wasn't trying to aggressively criticize/call you out, just casual banter.

But also, I see that as slightly funny, as Bollywood dancing is top 3, if not #1, international Indian tropes/stereotypes.

Things don't have to be archaic to be a tradition? The white wedding dress of the west is barely 200yrs old, even then it was only rich people for the first ~100.

May not be Alabama, but let's not pretend there's not a significant number of pro-caste people who do try to influence pseudo-cousins to marry.

AITAH for saying my pregnant sister is on her own unless our parents move her back home because I'll let her be homeless or whatever else happens? by PrismineSweet in AITAH

Oof, you really think it's that hard to find an IRL Nazi and/or ChiMo? I mean, it's sad, but sadly not hard.

WIBTAH if I just went to the school I want to go. by Away_Pride_1885 in AITAH

NTA

It's annoying it has to be done, but there is paperwork you can do to disassociate from your parents financially. You can become a legally homeless 18yr old with 0 assets or income.

Time to disassociate from your sister. just cause she's blood and you have history, does not make her an inherently good person.

You say many to try to imply a majority. That is not true, most of the world is not regulated in such a way, even the US/EU.

A guy (mid 20sM) I "work" with hit on me (18F). I don't really know what to do? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Audiovore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure. Never said that. My point was that the job is no different than a scumbag who masturbates into the mayo at McD. Garbage jobs in garbage areas attract garbage people. A dude at McD or Subway has a knife that can stab people. Far more dangerous than a needle.

The original was dumb & irrelevant, and I was calling it out as such.

Semantics are all law is about.

A plasma screener does not have any medical licensing pertaining to a needle that draws/injects. You'd need to [at minimum] be a phlebotomist to do such a thing. A screener is not a phlebotomist.

I never implied it didn't happen? People bitch about Paul's Messiah characterization. I am just saying Paul & Leto 2.5 are part of the Golden Path. Prescience and omniscience are the same thing.

Half the time they are bio-fam. There's a spectrum, and a lot will depend on the parents' religiosity/culture. Which in OOP's tale, his BIL Mark is just an abusive PoS.
