I agree but nevertheless one can certainly see that the rest of Disney was content to pander to their hearts content like a McDonald's franchisee that hires a Michelin Chef and fucks everything up because the chef takes every burger seriously and they were content to just mail in panderburgers all day long. But part of me thinks so long as talk of revolution stays in a galaxy far, far away corporatism are happiest.

One can make the argument that anything Disney as pandering first. The certainty in their idea of narrative control, of course they're pandering to the LGBTQIA+ community, there's money to be made in them thar' rainbows, and the unlikely notion it will change hearts. Watch Andor, and realize maybe they think they can pander to the idea of revolution, conservatives so certain that it can't lead to what is exactly portrayed, which compels me to take the message as presented with a grain of salt.

45,600-66000 people receiving 300,000 dollars in taxpayer cost over just 3 months per-person. That's what that public funding could be used for. The only problem here is that instead of benefiting those people, getting their paperwork squared, or getting them deported or getting them into a conventional prison, at 50k per year, or rehabilitated into drug rehab, or deported, or rehabilitated to a job that earns revenue - this is a scam that can die fast.

When it comes to architecture....and actual engineering....computer science....medicine.....cooking...and in fact most things, we are assured AI will sweep away, the reality is all bathrooms, and no kitchens.

All I can think of is Monty Python updated for 2025 tech-bros. Listen. Strange men lying in ponds distributing words is no basis for a system of education. Supreme educational power derives from a wealth of rigorously informed skeptical scientifically minded mandates and informed inquiry from the people, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

He was one of these guys who started off very low key and having been a former evangelical preacher absolutely wrecked that demographic because he was just unafraid to drop some biblical knowledge in the middle of obliterating someone's clutched pearls.

I half expect there's going to be some redneck whatnot that will think EXACTLY this way.

I suspect we don't. Although wouldn't it be something if we either mitigated that - or if we're not able to prevent massive sea-rise / temperature changes, deconstructing cities , I know that global warming means 30+feet of change for sure, which is devistating to the eastern United States, and especially eastern China.

Well, I think if Manhattan is a water-feature, so New York, Boston,Charlotte, Miami,New Orleans , Tianjin, Shanghai, Dakka , Mumbai, and Bangalore all goes the way of Atlantis, and Beijing, Princeton and is beachfront propertt.

And as time would have it - turns out Adama's opinion is sometimes more of a suggestion.

Miracl3W0rd3r - I have to say your colony is amazing how many colonists do you typically run with?

Think of it as a public service, you're getting Alex to put his tounge to a FAR FAR better use, and if you have to get tail-up/face down for the good of the country than by God man, it's your patriotic duty to do so, I suppose you can think of England if it makes you feel any better :)

IDK Part of me sees that really as Alex's Best Destiny - some people deeply know what they really want to do in live - so if you're the sort of dude in the greater Houston area that enjoys a bear of a guy chowing down on your tail , than it sounds like Alex is just your kind of guy. Most people aren't usually that public about it though.

He IS a murderer - negligent/indifferent murder of hundreds of thousands of Ivermectin and hydrochloroquine drinking people died un-necessasrily.

It's odd , I don't domesticate bonding animals , but once upon a time I did, I still find the game a bit ridiculous given the violence inflicted on your hapless colonists, the only luck in the universe is whatever you can make for them.

Maybe someone should write a book from the perspective of Dapple and Rocinante.

I actually did have occasion to harvest a couple of lungs and a kidney or two on this run, but like most things, once everything got what they needed we don't advertise the talents of our colony's surgery practices.
