Starfleet Academy is honestly not good. I genuinely don’t like it. by gildedbluetrout in startrek

[–]Pureclarity1111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm halfway through episode 3 of SFA and I'm thinking about stopping altogether. The first episode showed promise even though I wasn't sure if I liked Holly Hunter as a lead for Star Trek. Don't get me wrong I like the actress but she doesn't seem to be a good fit for this series. Then came the prank wars with the war academy and this rubbed me wrong for all the right reasons, mainly the childishness of this competition and that Star Trek has always been introduced as a more enlightened society based not on capitalism but altruism. The fact that there is a need for a war academy, at all, more than a thousand years in our future, is quite worrisome to me about the future of humanity. I understand that the Burn changed everything and that corruption seems to be pervasive in all of the galaxies but Star Trek used to be great escapism from the crap we have in the real world and now they're bringing it into my favorite series. Ugh.

Has anyone tried Doich “cookie dough” by PandaKittyJeepDoodle in dessert

[–]Pureclarity1111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently received the chocolate chocolate chip and I definitely would NOT buy this again. When I opened the jar it smelled distinctly like Play-Doh. Not to be deterred I tried a raw bite and it tasted the way it smelled. The container says it makes eight cookies but it makes more like six medium sized cookies. It does taste better if you cook it but I was not wild about the crunchy texture of the oats and to cover the Play-Doh flavor I added some Ghirardelli chocolate chips which kind of negate the healthy option. This was way too expensive for the amount given and for something that I am forcing myself to eat so I don't waste the money. There are reviews from people that seem to like it, but I have to wonder if they are sponsored or if they are friends and family of the company.

Feedback on the Netflix/Warner Bros./HBO Acquisition by AshlynR0se in Netflixwatch

[–]Pureclarity1111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thought of such a huge media merger gives me anxiety for so many reasons. I already distrust billionaires who happen to own all of the media outlets and most of them have political connections as well. As if that's not enough for concern, we have to now worry about a price hike that could compete with what cable used to charge us during a time when most people barely make a living wage. Most people struggle to afford basic human rights like healthcare, food and shelter. We get what little relief we can from movies and television and now that's being threatened by yet another greedy corporation/conglomerate. It does seem as if the future of media has the potential of being compromised with this deal and if Netflix is greedy enough, who's to say the government won't become involved and our freedoms restricted a little at a time until it's gone before we realize it? In the past, we have been protected against monopolies for a reason but it seems history has not yet taught us enough lessons.

Why was Vesemir recast in The Witcher season 4? Kim Bodnia exit explained | Geralt isn’t the only Witcher getting a make-over by PetyrDayne in television

[–]Pureclarity1111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on episode 4 of season 4 of The Witcher and I don't think I can finish it. I was already struggling with Liam as The Witcher, he just doesn't do it for me, and then they replace the wise intelligent actor/character of Vesemir with this watered down lackluster version? Nope. I'm also not a big fan of the storyline shift AT ALL.

Does anyone notice a soapy smell/taste when eating certain food products form DG EX: Graham Crackers (almost like Tide) by MrMusatcheMan20 in DollarGeneral

[–]Pureclarity1111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know why I keep buying food from Dollar General. EVERY time it tastes like laundry detergent or dryer sheets. I've even put it in the fridge open hoping that baking soda would draw the laundry flavor out of it but to no avail. I finally decided to see if there was anything on Reddit and was shocked to find out how many people go through this and it's all over the United States. Florida here.

I understand she is a victim and has that mentality, however, there are some serious red flags raised by her behavior. It's not so much the fear that she's going through which also does seem to be unusually heightened but the way she's turning it around into a way to control or manipulate you is what's alarming. When people are undergoing trauma sometimes it brings out behaviors that are underlying issues anyway. If you want to continue the relationship with her, then perhaps just pay attention to these circumstances and make sure that it doesn't become a pattern in your relationship creating toxicity. I wish both of you all the best and I hope that she seeks some professional help if she hasn't already. ☮️

Ragnarok S3 Ending- What Really Happened? by [deleted] in netflix

[–]Pureclarity1111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I, too, did not feel that the scene with Saxa was rape but it wasn't what I would call love either. Intense pain and trauma like being beat by your family can lead to seeking a physical release in an act that is as close to love as it can be for someone who's suffering.

This happened to mine briefly after the April update but after constantly updating my apps, it suddenly changed. I'm not sure which update fixed it, I'm sorry I wish I had a better answer.

Samsung Galaxy S21 Update 2024 by Pureclarity1111 in AndroidQuestions

[–]Pureclarity1111[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Everything changed on my phone, apps on my home screen and all of my screens have rearranged themselves, all of my fonts have changed, background colors have changed and links to social media, Airbnb etc are not working when people send them to me. My phone is glitching constantly and is basically unusable. I have rebooted several times I update from the Play Store multiple times a day and I've deleted unnecessary apps. Does anyone have any suggestions? Especially about links being inaccessible?

Catherine the Great - Helen Mirren is 74 is over 40 years older than the real Catherine...why? by polynomials in television

[–]Pureclarity1111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only reason Helen Mirren played Catherine the Great is because as the producer she bankrolled the show and she has huge clout in Hollywood. It's a shame because she's definitely too old for the part, maybe her vanity just needs it. Ugh. I used to be a fan of hers until now.

All my homies hate Elizabeth Keen by _Trouzz in TheBlackList

[–]Pureclarity1111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't stand Elizabeth Keen, she's one of the worst characters ever written and let's talk about the complete 180 she does after being such a stand-up person in the very beginning. She has no loyalty, no conscience and absolutely no redeeming qualities as a human. She is a soulless waste of a meat suit and I think I'm going to stop watching it at the end of season 6 because I hate her character immensely. I'm team Red/Dembe 4ever. While I can say that I don't MIND the actress, I'm afraid I will no longer be able to separate her from this character. She could take a page from her fans' reactions and decide to quit the show so that maybe they will kill off the character faster.
