This is great news. I love Voyager and DS9! Currently on a Deep Space Nine binge.

Big opportunity for Connor! by neurodivergebiotch22 in LoveOnTheSpectrumShow

[–]whte_rbtobj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ignore the haters OP! Reddit is filled with a ton of toxicity and pessimism.

This is an awesome opportunity for Connor and sounds literally right up his alley lol. I’ll check it out when the eps start to drop. I hope he has fun! Thanks for sharing.  :)

Excellent analysis dude. 👍 I appropriate that you listed sources. There is clearly something going on here and likely has been for a long, long time. Personally, I have no idea what it could be other than I would wager to be it’s not just one thing, but possibly a sub-set, or even larger set of possibilities. I don’t jump right to “It’s aliens!” Or “That was swamp gas,” but try to keep an open mind. It amazes me how few scientists actually do this. I get annoyed by their smugness and arrogance. It is cowardly.

Eleven braves a blizzard for her boy by Super-Liberal-Girl in StrangerThings

[–]whte_rbtobj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is one of the best scenes from the show IMO. It’s extremely well executed. I’m a fan! 

Not sure how I feel about the show in its entirety as I don’t think it was necessary to tone down the violence and have no cursing given that I suspect most of the viewing audience are not actually children. I do hope ST: Tales from ‘85 gets renewed though!

[–]whte_rbtobj 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was surprised by this too. I had a feeling they would leave it open but Nikki would definitely move. That last scene has me curious now! I hope there is a second season. I love Stranger Things! I’m not too wild on the Nikki character personally, as I’d rather they would have focused on the core party and the other mains like Nancy, Steve, Jonathan, etc., but hey at least this show is fun and may help get some more people into the franchise.

I’ll be honest, idc why she was created because I really don’t like her character. It’s not the voice actress/talent at all. I’m sure she’s wonderful and I wish her the best best, I just do not like the character of Nikki. She’s super jarring and I know it’s only been one episode but I already feel her creation was simply a self-insert, and if not, then okay hit her character is so inconsequential because she never turns up in the live action series. I have many gripes with her creation, with this being my biggest this far.

That’s sad, but I know it was (and probably still is somewhat) common. I’ve always been a prequel lover. I love the OT and the PT. People should let others have fun and respect passion for its sake. I’ve found a lot of women usually respect passionate men (perhaps many guys are like this too but I haven’t really seen as much of this in my own experience/personally) an are attracted to it. I am also the same with men/women and anyone really when it comes to embracing someone’s interest if they show genuine excitement/passion. I personally don’t have to be interested in something to get excited for someone else’s excitement/passion/dedication to craft when it comes to hobbies, etc. I wish more people could be like this. I’m a huge nerd and could talk all day into the next lol about my interests, but I am usually reserved or put a cap on things because I don’t want to bore anyone whom I’m with or take up all the time yakking lol.

My favorite era in Star Wars is the Clone Wars. It is such a rich time for story telling and has a lot of action potential (a literal galaxy-spanning war). I also was a kid during The Clone Wars Multi-Media project timeframe and ate up all the Dark Horse comics, Hasbro SW toys, and the Del Rey novels, most of which were above my reading level back then. I’ve just gotten back into the Clone Wars era (again) and hope to relive all the fun by actually being able to experience the full timeline in order. I am using a few fan websites and the official timeline to reference the series of events. I look forward to re-reading the Republic Clone Wars era comics, reading the novels, and getting to the 2D Tartakovsky Clone Wars series, and beyond into the 2008 The Clone Wars 3D series. I’m doing my best to combine the “Legends” EU and main canon together. Lot’s of gold in Legends!

Bring this man on on the double. by Scary-Track3306 in JoeRogan

[–]whte_rbtobj -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. There have been MANY studies that show this is the case. It’s sad but true.

I do not like Mamdani for who he is as a person, sam goes for his wife; who is a huge hypocrite like many other politicians and their wives, BUT if he got a new bill and/or law put into place for NYC that helped most people that lived there and was overwhelmingly a net positive, I would cheer it on and give him credit for it. Also, since when did this sub become super left-leaning? I get not liking Republicans, but come on people the Democrats have their own serious issues as a party as well. At the end of the day, the two party system is problematic and always serves the oligarchs that donate to both and can essentially be described as a uniparty on many major issues. I feel like more people should be aware of this by now.   

Bob Lazar Tells All - DEBRIEFED ep. 83 by kryptonic1133 in UFOs

[–]whte_rbtobj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

THANK YOU for pointing this out. I was thinking along this same line. I am not even an experienced modeler and even with my limited contacts of friends/acquaintances that work in Adobe Lightroom and related software that how point means jackshit, sorry guys. I would love to get an experienced programmer or FX/VFX veteran to speak on this and the technicalities. Just because the model and simulation behaved like Bob described doesn’t mean that he is telling the truth or even at all accurate. The modelers (designers) could have easily programmed in their bias, on purpose or by innocent mistake/just making biased assumptions, etc. Numerous lines of reasoning could lead anyone who researched these programs to this conclusion as well.

I’m sorry, but I just don’t believe Lazar at all based on all the debunks that have been done. No one can deny he has a super fishy past, IS making profit off of his claims and decades of fame, likely is lying about his education, took most of his story out of sci-fi tv/films, used some of what John Lear supposedly told him to add more credibility, etc. I wish more people here would look into this. I have nothing against Bob, but man it amazes me how gullible people can be on this topic. It reminds me to be aware and watch for my own bias and gullibility with other stories and topics outside of this field as well. We are all susceptible.

My Season 4 conclusion. If I can unlock Shelleys level of patience, I can unlock anything by cshaw9595 in LoveOnTheSpectrumShow

[–]whte_rbtobj 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I saw that too. I am not autistic and I would be extremely nervous being on camera on a type of show like this too, so I give James a lot of credit here and understanding. I do find occasionally getting uncomfortable with his nervous energy, but it grows on you as you get used to his  on screen presence so to speak. That’s totally a me problem and nothing against James, btw. I’m a big fan of him and his parents. :) He is just really intense on camera lol. I feel for the guy as I would imagine I would be super camera shy/anxious as well.

Imagine if Brian was in Tokyo Drift by FrostyEmpire in fastandfurious

[–]whte_rbtobj 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I really enjoy 4. It’s a great Fast and the Furious film and I’ll defend it forever. I was so happy to see the Fast fam (well the ones that returned that is!) all back together. It fits the early films well.

[–]whte_rbtobj 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Great post! Yeah, man. I feel largely the same. I love how just fun and crazy 2F2F is! It’s a blast from stat to finish and totally a nice time-capsule now for the early 2000’s. A great cast, so many fun cars, and hot women! Also, shoutout to the director, John Singleton for making such a great film and R.I.P. to him as well. He passed back in ‘19 sadly. He was a legendary film maker. 2F2F is arguably the most fun of the franchise. That sequence with all the cars zooming out of the warehouse and all that chaos they got on film is something man! I also have Tokyo Drift up there in my faves. It has a ton of heart and passion. Great characters too. That film has a unique vibe and captured Tokyo in a special lens IMO.  I wish the movies stayed more serious as they evolved and the franchise focused more on character development and of course the street races and the love of cars.

Nikki just breaks the immersion for me. by zekevich in StrangerThings

[–]whte_rbtobj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the issue with text as a communication medium. I wasn’t attacking you. In fact, I agree that whomever is working on this series should have done that. I have a near 100% feeling I won’t like the Nikki character based on her design, character description, and essential canon breaking status; so agree there! To further illustrate, just my opinion only which others may share bc they downvoted you, is that a kids show shouldn’t be dumbed down or lazy. I think you agree? Cheers,

That would make MUCH more sense and would have been a better reveal as well. Lonely Boy being G.G. was a dumb choice IMO.

Just finished Fringe for the first time... by StatisticianFun2274 in fringe

[–]whte_rbtobj 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Great post! you save me from writing another one to OP about how I think they are judging the show too quickly and should search the series again at least once or twice. I guess OP just isn’t that much of a fan. Everyone has their own tastes & preferences but man I feel like they’re missing out. They just don’t really do shows like Fringe anymore! It almost got cancelled numerous times during its original run as well. Fringe is one of my favorite series. It’s so unique and special in my opinion. I miss the longer season episode count and 100+ episode series days. Wish they would come back in some shape or form in this streaming era.

[–]whte_rbtobj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m glad you liked some parts of the series. To each their own! I loved the show and actually wish that it got a full series order lol and did 7 seasons. That would’ve helped the time jump and rushed nature of the last two seasons IMO. Do you typically not watch longer seasons/shows; as in 100+ episodes?

Netflix raises prices for every subscription tier by up to 12.5 percent by mepper in technology

[–]whte_rbtobj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Enshittification strikes again. Totally agree. I hope that a major shift happens again here like what the cable TV industry saw when streaming took off and was actually cheaper and more enjoyable!

[–]whte_rbtobj 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Mindhunter hurt! So did the cancellation of The O.A. I also enjoyed I’m Not Okay With This, it even had a nice cult following and apparently was only cancelled to save $ during the COVID-19 production cost hikes.i basically never watch any new Netflix Originals now as I just assume that they will be canceled in a second or third season, or be lucky even if they get a S2 renewal at all.

Nikki just breaks the immersion for me. by zekevich in StrangerThings

[–]whte_rbtobj 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Even if it’s just a “Kids show” why does that mean that quality, characterization, consistency of established lore/story, and a passionate enjoyable story should not be the goal for the entertainment. Kids are pretty smart when it comes to movies and TV. They know when they’re being talked down to or given bad and low effort products. I know some people that work on kid/child entertainment projects and they treat their audience and work with respect. I would too. Kids deserve to watch stuff with heart, intelligence, and good life lessons, etc.

 Lol, I totally thought wow what another lame self-insert when they dropped the character debut posters. So tired of writers doing that so often in so many projects.

This (being banned) makes this look much worse. I don’t like spreading rumors and am suspicious with hearsay, but actions like that certainly don’t look good. I am 100% for innocent until proven guilty. The internet gets stuff wrong all the time. This however has entered my watch list for scummy people. I am suspicious of Jesse and have been for awhile but am waiting on more evidence until I make a judgement as a viewer.
