You don't have to be Nostrodamus to predict that the 80 year old man who really looks their age and has near monthly "routine" health checks and brags about passing the kinds of cognitive tests they only give when they think you have dementia is going to die soon...

I'm honestly neutral with the change, it makes setting up a new phone a little more annoying, it will just be another step in the process and doesn't stop me from doing anything. However the small barrier will stop scammers pressuring people into installing things. It doesn't make it impossible, but will get rid of a lot of the low hanging fruit.

That movie was criticized because it was on the nose, but if there's one thing the last 20 years has thought me its that there may have been a time for subtle implications, subtext, and understatement, but it's long over.

If you aren't screaming it, they won't hear you and even if they hear you they won't do anything...

"we're all looking for the guy who did this"

I'm so used to ignoring who tweets are from that I didn't notice till you mentioned it and scrolled back up, lol

As someone with a problematic relationship with alcohol, from a family of the same, i get addiction, but I don't get gambling. The way it's become normalized by society is so weird to me.

That's how I felt about half way through the pilot, I said to my partner "I don't think I can handle a grimdark trek," but then they started introducing the actual premise of the show, how starfleet had a dark time, but was now rebuilding and reaffirming it's ideals.

I personally liked the vibe, it felt hopeful. Dark times don't last forever and things do get better, but still leave an impact.

There is still a utopia though, it has just been tested and they failed some of the tests and now they're trying to rebuild.

It's back to basics hopeful, a society trying to live up to it's ideals again.

there's no paywall, there's a donation ask, but you can just close it.

But the jump to 1080p was much less noticeable, to the point that people just thought its no different than 720p.

What!?

Unless it's animated and even then depending on the art style, I can immediately clock the difference between 1080 and 720. It is another huge leap.

1080 to 4k though when sitting on the couch are basically the same.

Just don't give the TV your wifi password, boom dumb TV.

So they're evil for catering to their customers?

If you don't like that in movies don't watch their movies...
