Not at all. All they've done is double pinky swear promise about all this investment. I would bet €10 only 2 or 3 things planned already go forward.

The eternal metric of a good show hitting a point in season 3 or 4 where every episode opens 20 more questions than it answers, making me wonder if its going to Do a Lost on me and just fall apart. (ahem-Yellowjackets&Severance-ahem)

Yeah, rushed is part of it as well for a full 120+min movie.

And, I should say, I also loved the movie and was disappointed to see mostly negative reviews afterward, but I get it. I initially loved the fact that 87North, the director's own production company, is both listed in the opening credits and is the company making the movie in the movie. But as the final (contrived to look awesome, which is the point, not the actual plot points) moments wrap up, it felt like it was as much an industry commercial for the director's own production company as it was a movie just being a movie. Maybe that's a selling feature and I overthought it, but it sort of took me out of it.

You're thinking of Americorps. Peace Corps just had drastic budget cuts so far, but there's still volunteers going out and in the field.

I figure it was real men eat old milk.

The Fall Guy. The show had a very simple premise (stunt crew moonlights as bounty hunters) that really couldn't hold up after multiple seasons. The movie just floundered trying to do too much, and ended up far too inside baseball for normal viewers to really identify with.

There's still corners, like Lemmy, where you can reasonably not be tracked. Even if you do the right things, you can degoogle and use reddit or other social media platforms and have it not just ping hot that it's you.

Imagine a world where you have to show a government ID to use nearly any service, like what LinkedIn has been doing. While the eID version could (should) actually make this MORE anonymized by using hashed confirmations of being over 18, the data is too juicy for anyone to not jump straight to that point.

Job on a station in Australia.

Peace Corps.

Deckhand on a cargo ship.

Fishing boat in Alaska.

WWOOFing across a continent

Lots of ways to peace out and time travel and adventure to the other side of all this.

100%. Porn is what pushed the development of e-commerce and credit card payments online.

What they WILL get is eID laws as a result, and the total lack of privacy online.

Zombies?

Look around. We're in an apocalypse right now.

You need zombies to make it real?

Honestly, in terms of exposure and monetization, there's no real alternative. Even just hosting, other than something like daily motion, where else should this person have posted this?
