Ah, the assumption of constant growth in perpetuity. Even if there is a finite limit to the number of people who could hypothetically subscribe. That is, the population of the Earth. And you know that even if that did happen, shareholders would still demand more growth.

Nothing shouts “self defense” like having your mom drive you across state lines so you can pick up an assault rifle you had a third party buy for you and then go prowl the streets of a city you don’t live in, actively looking for people to shoot. While wearing gloves.

Nonstop, uncontrolled growth - the mindset of shareholders and cancer cells.

Until recently, Fox News was the propaganda arm of the Republican Party. Lately, though, it’s more like the Republican Party is the political arm of Fox News. They’re clearly the ones issuing the marching orders.

Is that bigotry against cryptids? Anti-chupacabra or anti-Bigfoot sentiment?

It saved the day more than once on Star Trek: Lower Decks, even in hostage negotiations.

The end clinches that the writers missed the entire fucking point. Hari’s hologram only appeared AFTER the crisis had been resolved. Because, y’know, foreknowledge would affect the outcome. Idiots. That’s how they knew that things had gone off the rails when the Mule appeared later on - Hari’s message had nothing to…

It doesn’t strike you as a mob-style shakedown that they jack up the number of ads and then offer to make them go away for $10 a month?

The comments section on one of the sites I used to frequent disappears if you have AdBlock activated. Not disabled, it’s no longer there. But if I turn it off, I’m bombarded with popups and autoplaying videos.

I’m sure it’s a coincidence that the sharp uptick in commercials (unskippable ones in particular) coincided with them starting to push YouTube Premium really hard, which will remove those same commercials for a mere $10/month.

>Which is actually slightly out of character for him (making Demrezel do it, not the murder itself), since he seemed to have an attachment to her.

I’ve been assuming that they’re setting up the current Brother Dawn for that, what with his hinky genetics and all.

>What that means in a show that has treated religion with cynicism is a question that may be explored, but again, unlikely.

Sadly true. There’s a resurgence in whooping cough and other childhood diseases in leftie enclaves in California.

“I did my own research” is code for Facebook memes and Joe Rogan. Always.

And Florida’s governor wants to “reconsider” all those childhood vaccine mandates for school.

In other words, his agent told him that this was a great way to generate buzz around his name.

Or have weird stuff going on with the TV late at night, and they learn that the subdivision was built on an old cemetery, but the developer tried to save a few bucks and only moved the headstones.

Loved it when the heroes flew off and casually abandoned a child/kitten to a life of slavery. Not to mention all the other slaves being worked to death there.

Or the anime Gurren Lagann, in which the moon is a failsafe device set to crash into the Earth if the human population goes above 1 million. It’s also a spaceship. Now that I think about it, that show is like something that an infinite number of Roland Emmerichs pounding away on an infinite number of typewriters could…
