Been rewatching Red vs Blue. I love it but they really shoulda killed this show off after Season 2, maybe keep going to 5 but that’s where it really, really, really needed to stop.

They made HOW many episodes!? THERE’S A MOVIE!!!???

Kurtzman is such a hack. The whole “oh you think your society is good well I’ll have you know it’s actually made possible by BAD PEOPLE doing BAD THINGS in the SHADOWS” is the kind of shit that a teenager would think is really smart. Coming up with ways for the Federation to uphold its principles in the face of challenges to them would actually be much smarter than defaulting to a vision of the CIA in space.

And it’s totally fine to explore the idea that the Federation doesn’t always live up to its ideals. That’s the theme of a lot of episodes in every series. But New Trek has lost track of the fact that the Federation has ideals in the first place and its become pulp sci fi slop.

These people never ever explain what’s wrong with the thing they are against, they just gesture toward some vaguely defined feeling they have that change is bad and they want to make the world as simplistic as they thought it was when they were children.

Agh that’s such bullshit. Hidden fees in all industries should be abolished, but especially in renting.

Just checking, you know that you’re moving in, right? They’re not trying to get you to pay an application fee and then ghost you? That was a pretty common scam last time I was house hunting.

Hope it works out well and they don’t jack up the price on you. That happened to my aunt when she tried to move to California - she’s been a nurse for like fifty years, lived here for one of them and then had to move back to the East Coast because they wanted to spike her rent (which is supposed to be illegal here but they had some kind of loophole).

Entrepreneurship, so it’s pretty much what I was expecting so far

oh god she’s talking about drop shipping like it’s a brilliant and great idea

Oh boy, my professor’s talking about entrepreneurs like Bill Gates and Elon Musk, I wonder if she’ll mention how much money they got from their parents

I forget who I first heard it from but the difference between communists and capitalists does kinda boil down to who we think the parasites are.
