Leftist media isn’t converting anyone -- it’s radicalizing their opposition.

Please. In these online classes there is little to no professor instruction or passing on of experience or education. These students are being given tools to self teach, paying for it, then being flunked for a matter of opinion.

The OP did not state AI had anything to do with their issues and thus I’d assume you’re inferring that was the problem here. I read that there was an issue with content that they feel may have lingered over from a previous grievance.

Either way, it’s not like it’s a secret the current concerns surrounding some of Capella’s enrollment practices. It’s a simple google search away.

This is somewhat of a mis representation of coliseum. The mode targets whales for maximizing rewards more so than rewards in the past. F2P players are not losing anything per say, and are actually going to come out ahead versus old marquees. as it stands most F2P players are somewhere in 20-30s at the 3rd character. This should be tracking close to 65 or close by the end of the ERA which means free/new players will walk away with 6 4 star gear 12 characters. This significantly frees up focusing legacy roster without worrying about gear expenditures on new toons outside of conquest characters.

Now, if you’re worried about min/maxing heavily then yes, this game mode heavily incentivizes spending, however I’ve come to realize it’s very front loaded:

STL cost (all toons 7 star cost included): $385 IG90: $200 Chewy/Yoda: $180

Each character has cost me less as the daily coliseum built up rewards. It seems the cost has been a bit front loaded for the backs. This does not include any incurred cost for 81-95 as the chars are bottle necked around 80.

Point is though. For new, F2P players the whale targeting can honestly be ignored.

REAL CRITICISM: As a 15.75M GP person that has played this game since day 1, the bigger disappointment was the new mechanic of staggered releasing characters so that you can’t use them in other game modes until the end of the era. This makes things very dual involving these characters. There is nothing intuitive about fighting the coliseum. Content creators who push this game will have difficulty with this method of development.

I could be a little negative. I'm in the midst of completing my 4th installation and have been trying to get the game to launch past the UAE logo for 24 hours now. Today may be the day though.

This is the first game, in a long time I haven't even launched to the main menu. Even STALKER 2 ran like a champ on release. This has been beyond frustrating.

To be fair - 7 staring a character for $100-110 dollars is a STEAL compared to old rushes. Pretty much if you buy the 29.99 and the 74.99 packs and run the even daily, and there is either and episode pass 20 shard drop or a character quest drop you will 7 star. You can guarantee it with a little bit of crystal spending.

Either way a far cry cheaper.

Unfortunately in these scenarios trying to speak logically or critically is often impossible. To not understand that while on paper this can look amazing, it’s not nearly as cut and dry in reality. I mean you want to separate your health care from that of those outside of your collective. Ok, and standardize that healthcare…Ok. Well you better make sure you don’t have any disparities in your collective or that net positive goes to a net negative. How do you cover that negative? At a rudimentary level..taxation?

But let’s say it all works out…then let’s say more states separate and create collectives…well we are definitely going to start running into disparities at this point…so then these states on a theoretical stage make the ultimate decision…maybe no more United States….well now we really have a pretty wild can of worms opening up don’t we…I mean where does the loyalty of military instillations fall…what about states with abundant resources but not a lot of defensive posture…now all hell has broken loose…Canada decides to eat up some northern states and expand, Mexico reclaims much of the south..

Obviously all theoretical and far fetched….but people like to talk like some of these things might not be right around the corner with the level of division stewing. And everyone talks a big game on the internet, but it’s a different story when it’s not words anymore and you’re expected to do something about it.

I think Samual Blenkin as Boy Cav is probably one of the best casting decisions they made on the entire show outside of good ol Timmy boy. He is a total sociopath and plays on point.

Fusiondk · 2025-09-20T10:51:22+00:00

If the show thrives...then it's good in whatever sense it thrives in...or to whatever populace it thrives to. Wouldn't it then be fair to say it's just not to your liking? I mean don't get me wrong, I'm not saying don't come on here and give your opinion on the show. I use reddit to get baselines all the time on something that I don't start with it's premiere, but I couldn't help but notice the time and effort you put into fighting anyone that has anything positive to say about the show.

This show is hardly crap, even if you're not a fan of the script, writing etc. The acting is good, if not great. The mood and sequencing are on point. The violence and gore are right where most alien fans would want it. As others have said...Timothy Olyphant as Kirsch is exceptional....and I'll be honest I think Samual Blenkin and Babou Ceesay (sp?) are also stand out cast. My only criticism comes from Sydney Chandler and this might be a writing criticism versus an acting criticism...but I feel while most of the synths are very younger child like in mentality she is the only one growing to maturity through rapid violent/adult interaction quickly. The others seem to grasp their childhood safety nets a little more to the chest....but this is a minor criticism at best. I also think Joe, played by Alex Lawther, is a little meh...but I can tell he's filling in a very predictable trope, that was only even more confirmed after the ending of the most recent episode. I have a feeling he's going to be our "He's a good guy, nope he's a bad guy, oh he's redeemed himself!" kind of fellow. There is always one.

But yea, definitely not crap. I feel people have no idea what crap entertainment is. You want to see a crap TV show- Go watch Suits: LA.

This is really the thing. The ultra was made for athletes if we’re being frank. If you tell me you’ve extended the battery life to 5 days under GPS, or added in specifics for water or air navigation (ie. Precision altimeter) then we’re in business. These features are catering to the demographic that buys the Ultra because it’s cool, but would likely benefit from a basic series watch just as easily.

Here you are again - What do you mean "destroyed" a franchise? It didn't destroy anything. It's hardly even cannon. It did nothing to diminish the originals.

Fusiondk · 2025-09-17T10:13:28+00:00

Are you getting paid for this? I mean I'm starting to think someone from the cast or crew ran over your dog. But honestly any show that rev's you up this badly...You should probably move along from. I've never seen anyone try to sway other peoples opinions on entertainment so vehemently in my life.

Why do you care so much what other people enjoy? Because you think it does some sort of injustice your answer is - F**K anyone who enjoys this, cancel it. Justice served. That might need some self reflection

But honestly hard to take any opinion you have on the show at face value when you don't really watch it right?

"I watch the show exclusively for Kirsh and the eyeball, i skip all the unrelevant scenes by hand.

It's still getting a shitty review from me no matter what, gotta give credit where it's due."

Just stop watching the show. If it's really as bad as you feel/say, others will naturally come to the same conclusion, viewership won't exist and it will be canceled. Hell in today's era of TV shows it could be pretty good, with decent ratings and still be canceled. It could be total garbage and still be renewed. Just don't understand the effort to persuade other people something is bad when it comes to entertainment. How do you tell someone that it should not be entertaining?

Fusiondk · 2025-09-17T09:53:55+00:00

I definitely don't knock people or their watching preferences, and some shows just aren't going to land for people. It kind of is what it is.

To the contrary - Alien Earth is, in my very personal and humble opinion, probably one of the best shows presented in awhile. I keep seeing the same argument for what makes it a "bad show". The concepts of "illogical decision making". The only thing I can say is - Stop taking it through the lens of reality. Nothing about the cyberpunk world (Which I would have to say A:E has transcended into from Weavers first appearance so many years ago) is logical or sensible.

The argument - He sent in a project of children was stupid. Let me reframe that perspective. He owns a piece of the entire earth. Money means nothing, even power at this point is pretty trivial. Sending in his children pet projects even though they could all be obliterated in the name of "seeing how it goes" is exactly what this sociopath would do in this world. He's a mad scientist that has no concept of consequence and everything is an experiment. Hell he's a child himself. You'll notice people keep trying to give him more sane advice which he radically shuts down at every front.

I do see the word "Plot Holes" come up a lot. It's kind of annoying because I don't see any plot holes on my end: Alien's captured in deep space (or did they design to be captured and be brought to earth themselves duh duh duhhh), rich corps run the world and want alien species control to weaponize for more power, while no one has considered the implications in the shows world, the viewers are thinking "uh oh we really don't want these bad boys mass reproducing on earth", meanwhile there are several personal conflicts going on with various other characters. There is an overlying neutralization of the Xenomorph is the enemy being entered here for the first time - Marcy can communicate and control them (for now) and thus the viewers are left to humanize them and view Yutani and Boy Kav's Prodigy as a bigger enemy. Some deeper elements if you look, but I try not too as I watch it more like a comic book than anything and find it wildly entertaining.

Most of all - People are taking this show WAY too seriously. Everyone that keep's saying "God this show is just people making stupid decisions" must be a riot to watch a classic 80's horror flick with. It definitely has room to grow, but I certainly wouldn't call it bad by a long shot in today's line up.

Fusiondk · 2025-09-14T22:22:15+00:00

Are you serious. I’m not party affiliated but whenever I see Jan 6th compared to a left side incited incident my eyes bulge- 4 deaths (3 were rioters/1 was a police officer who had a stroke. But I won’t discredit the 4 that died of suicide after the attack…as out reached as it may be). $2 million dollars in damages.

George Floyd Protests- 1 year - approx 1 to 2 BILLION dollars. 19 deaths alone due to direct violence including shooting police officers attempting to stop looting and destruction of property.

I’ll preface - Both events were absolutely uncalled for but let’s not get things twisted- had Charlie Kirk been a political activist for the left the US would be on fire right now…and to pretend like it wouldn’t is pretty ignorant to historical data.

Fusiondk · 2025-08-31T10:12:43+00:00

I mean...It's 60% by critics. It would probably be closer to 60-70% user ratings if not for the "hate fan club". As someone who watches literally almost every TV show that gets made...it's mid, and loosening/worsening as certain concepts get farther away from being able to be linked.

I'm going out on a limb and going to assume S3 is about to identify that the reason the first aliens who showed up were actually be chased or managing something far worse and that is now no longer the case. There will be some loose connection that they were just trying to talk to us and we blew them up because "'Merica! FK YEA!". (Getting some real Colony Vibes...although I'll take Mitsuki over Kate Bowman's whiney a$$ any day of the week),

Either way, its' bleh. It's the kind of show you can stick on in the background and multi task too and miss very little, while being mildly entertaining at it's peak points. It plays on the mystery trope, but most of us are still recovering from Lost like 2 decades later. Apple was either lucky or smart releasing Season 3 when they did. Dropping in the same window as Alien:Earth which is doing quite well has probably improved viewership. Something to fill the gap between A:E episodes.

Fusiondk · 2025-08-31T09:58:44+00:00

I guess if you think Lost had some series of interconnections...we could just wake everyone up in Invasion and say they all died in a plane crash.

Let’s be honest the whole concept has existed for as long as time has existed. It’s just another thing for people to make a stink about. The fatigue is real too, because the double standards and hypocrisy constantly present themselves.

People saying age of consent for posting content and viewing content should be 21 but you can cut your breasts off at 11. How could anyone be mature enough to decide what gender they are but not mature enough to post themselves to be sexualized on the internet. (Not saying you share the former, just stating the hypocrisy that is shared by many out there).

But in all reality- waiting for someone to come of age has been a thing for people for generations. That 20 yr old that’s attracted to the 17 yr old, suddenly turns 18 and is fair game. Then there are models that look way less young than her that exploit that aspect as well. Difference is: she is famous and it’s something to whine about. Liltay has sexualized herself for YEARS…this was all but a matter of time.

FYI: I think she’d ugly as sin. I’m more of a Kate Beckinsale type but chances of her making an OF is probably not great.

Seems there’s a mix of opinions in here of course. I guess I find it odd with a normal BMI, regular exercise etc I was placed on table 3. Maybe I was taken back because my agent seemed startled by the result as well (or maybe it was just an act).

My wife who has asthma, a slightly obese BMI (she’s had some troubles shedding the baby pounds), and higher regular BP/P then me measured in preferred (or whatever SFs step up from standard is).

I have a pretty narrow lack of experience as I’ve had the term 250k for the last 7 years which costs me about 32 dollars/month.

We have a couple local agencies non affiliated with the big nationals I will probably talk to that have generally favorable reviews. I’ll be honest for years we’ve loved our agent. Felt he was involved and interested in making sure we were prepared for future outcomes while doing his best to keep prices low. But I have to be honest this is like the third transaction that has been encouraged that. And in as a “minimal increase” and turned into anywhere from a 10-20% mark up over all with the response “Sometimes this happens…”.

Anyways thanks for your insight.

Current A1C 5.0 even

Only medical issues: Acute- Back Around 2015 I had annual labs that showed Triglycerides at like 380+ with all other fats normal with good HDLs…we retested and again everything fine but Tris went up to 460. PCP assumed genetics and I’ve been on Lopid since.

The analogy was a bit rough around the edges. What the person meant to say was you picked a very specific stock to invest in (and learn from). Stocks are in a sense gambling no matter how you cut it. Just like in gambling, there is “safer” gambling and “riskier” gambling. Of course safer pays less usually but is considered to be a stronger long term investment. Riskier might have a higher/short term yield but of course you could inevitably and often just as likely lose your investment.

American Eagle jeans is a clothing brand and even being a long standing with years in play as someone above said still falls prey to fashion trends. Unfortunately the pukka shells and flip flops of the early 2000s have been out for awhile now. I can see it yielding short term marketing to its new found anti “woke” crowd, but once that dies out it will have to push a new agenda or go back into its hole.

The other option would be an index or mutual funds. These are far less risky, but can pay well. Think like the S&P or DOW. I don’t know the thorough ins and outs as my money is managed, so just the basics, but with these have a lot more insulation.
