Ultimately yea - the problem with Sanders isn’t even Sanders really. It’s the doom and gloom style of electorate he energizes because this is two elections now where we’re looking at Bernie or bust articles. Russian Troll farms couldn’t pull it off better.

Because a realistic third party would start legislatively first. The only real reason a third party should run for president is to bolster that ticket.

Nope. But as a candidate, Biden is harder for Republicans in swing districts to nail down his sins on the people voting. Biden’s very “see what you want to see.” If you choose to see him as “the establishment”, well he fits. But if you choose to see him as a progressive, he still fits. As a result during his campaign,…

Incorrect. Coalitions win elections.

I would suggest people get out of their bubble. I’m fine with Sanders. I’m fine with Biden. But it’s a mistake to believe somehow if it’s not Biden then a win can’t happen. No genius, half of the electorate supports 1 and half supports the other. That’s why this is close. It’s not some grand conspiracy - it’s…

After “Beyond” failed, I’d say let the Kelvin universe just die. Beyond was fairly solid and that’s the one that while schlocky, wasn’t full blown Star Wars.

It did for me too - although I was a huge fan of Malenko, Benoit, Guerrero, and Jericho from their earlier days. Seeing it happen to such “working class” wrestlers who were just getting to the point they were making it - I can’t say why but I just stopped being interested after that.

I don’t know why I’m somewhat terrified of the Benoit documentary. I’m like others where I never really watched wrestling after it and everything I’d heard about Chris was he was a gentle man and sweet but intense. I feel like I can’t view his crime without bringing up the CTE. But at the same time, I have no idea how…

The issue is always about what is earned vs. what isn’t. Every start of a story you can set the pieces any way you want to - it’s the writers choice.

And that’s fine. Mike’s actually rewatching DS9 so I doubt he hates it. What he does think, is that the move to drama sapped the ethos from the show and it’s hard to argue against him when post DS9, we’ve never really again had a TOS/TNG series that seemed pretty OK with the Federation as a concept and keeping the…

Yes - But how is this a new thing? Before there were review bombs, people were meming this stuff. Before people were meming this stuff, people would “think piece” games to death. And before that people had message boards where people just “decided” what was good and what wasn’t largely based on if the people they…

Depends what you watch.  There’s a pretty large variance in the quality of their output.  But certain people like Rich Evans and Mike both have traits that can come off as annoying if you don’t find it funny.  I find it hilarious though, so there’s that.

You know there was a lot of whining about The Dark Knight Rises, but that’s what Nolan basically did. He said, there’s no way this ends well otherwise so I’m going to grow the character and end this iteration.

I think I’ve been around long enough that I can answer this pretty easily - because many not self identify with Bond and therefor the death and replacement with someone they are more interested in has no emotional cost and plenty of upside.

Hasn’t this already been tied to environmental factors though? As in, IVF may be required in the future but really we need to start looking at what’s going on in our environment so that men and women aren’t killing their children’s testosterone level before they leave the womb?

Yea I’m all for people having choice in their lives but I’m not sure why lawmakers don’t think men have choices.

Like - yes, you do not need to hook up with some guy you don’t want to to have kids. No, guys do not need to give up the goods because someone wants to have children just not with a partner.

Pretty much. They cram so much into it that on first glance it is easy to see there are too many stories present. But to get to what they ultimately expressed through that film, you absolutely could cut liberally.

This isn’t really true though.

You still have places like Vancouver though. Georgia has also become a source of cheaper labor in the States and I’m pretty sure they could go to another Southern state if they wanted to get cheaper (although we both know the politics would probably never work.)

The old world didn’t have Alchemy. It was not gender equal. It was not multiracial.
