What do you think got way too much hate than it should've?
  • The problem is, the original had a 26 episode run that was a mix between random fun and "plot" episodes, and the plot episodes were fewer and more serious.

    The Netflix version decided that it had to be more plot than fun, and it's considered a failure by old school fans because the plot that was left over with the fun removed, well, it's kind of been done before. Look at the flashback episode (#9) to see what I mean; it added absolutely nothing to the story that we didn't already surmise from hints over the previous 8 episodes, and the dark, dramatic seriousness of the whole thing wasn't ever really balanced by SciFi shoot-em-up fun episodes in between.

    But that's just me. I didn't hate it, I was just disappointed that it was too serious.

  • AI can now create a replica of your personality
  • a virtual replica of you is able to embody your values and preferences with stunning accuracy.

    I'm calling BS on this one. "Values and preferences" are such a far cry from Actual Personality that it's meaningless. Just more LLM hype

  • Poilievre's office maintains tight control over what Conservative MPs say and do
  • I hate the whole "towing the party line" thing that all political parties do. If my riding votes for an MP, who stands in parliament in favor of something that their constituents don't want, but the party does, that MP is not reflecting the will of their constituents, regardless of party lines.

    Not surprised that PP is enforcing this kind of anti-democratic stance, even though it's basically standard practice for all parties.

  • Why is this Title invaldi?
  • I don't remember this, because the sum-total knowledge and intelligence of 37 million Canadians has always been smaller than the sum-total knowledge and intelligence of 335 million Americans

  • Madouc, another black void

    Madouc (or, Maddy for short) is a lovable black void who enjoys food, more food, and music, especially whistling. Also, if you're talking on the phone with your speaker on, she's very, very interested.

    What book(s) are you currently reading or listening? November 19
  • Oooof, I feel that. I started Malazan back at the end of June, currently 2/3rds through Book 7, "Reaper's Gale".

    It's far less dark that books 2 and 3, but it's still sooooo... I don't know, not as many payoffs as previous books. Feeling some Malazan fatigue with 3 books to go

  • How can you raise yourself to be on the same page as society when you were neglected and locked away for 20 years?
  • Every day is a new day, and the old ones are gone and past. Yes, those days helped form the way you turned out: but you've got a bright new start, and now You get to decide how you turn out. It gets better, especially as long as you want it to, and work to make it so, even just the tiniest bit each day.

    Also, therapy is always recommended.

  • My new Swatch. Thoughts?

    The plastic face scratches very easily- I've had to buff out 2 scratches in 3 weeks, so I feel like it won't have much longevity for daily use. It's also kinda loud, and can be audibly heard clicking every single second when you're in a quiet space.

    This is becoming a regular occurrence

    Not sure if it's the same mourning Dove as last time but I'm only a little creeped out so it's fine, it's totally fine. This is fine.

    The Cloud Forest at Pretty River Valley, Ontario

    Posted this in a random thread yesterday but figured it probably deserved more views. This is from a rainy day last August, near the peak at Pretty River Valley Provincial Park, Ontario, on the Niagara Escarpment. I watched the clouds rolling in, and then they rolled into and through the forest, creating an absolutely magical scene.

    Hikers are welcome. Trails are very poorly marked. Start at the bottom of the valley for maximum elevation gain. :)

    Planet/Ploehrliou Visit Strawberry Hill, a pink grass paradise in Ploehrliou (59)

    White grass planets are nice, but pink grass is so much more chill. Add to that blue-green seas, pink skies, and a wonderful view of a neighboring ringed planet + moon, and you've got a premier destination for anyone visiting the Galaxy 59 core. Sure, there are some minor storms every now and again, but the pink serpent-butterflies and blue-white nighttime nebulae make up for any intermittent weather inconvenience. Visit today!
