this looks extremely loving bad and im glad i didnt watch the first season of this trash

its actually good. the trailer, like the show, is told from his pov and hes nuts. its about how his untreated mental illnesses make him a danger to society. there is some conspiracy-ish stuff but its not as bad as the main character (as in the trailer) thinks it is. its more like "oh this company covered up their chemical dumping in a residential area and now they're being taken to court" and not "the chemicals were for mind control to make us buy hot pockets and watch tv"

there are only like 3 characters you could really call good people in the show and the main character gets one killed, destroys the business of another, and then ignores the 3rd when she needs help at which point she decides to fix her own poo poo and is revealed as the real protagonist.

new captain america was ok. I liked black panther and spiderman and thought they added the most of everyone other than cap + tony. the plot is pretty good but it drags on a bit w/ all the fights and could probably use a little trimming here and there.

so why did Sebastian want to go? general thrill seeking? it seemed like he had a decent thing going on earth

fewer regulations in the offworld colonies meant he could expand his research. ex: the nexus 6s were illegal on earth but perfectly fine in the colonies.

also thered be plenty of land for the taking and the corps/govs would probably not be able to police it all. even where they could there would be economic incentives to have someone else just take a chunk of land and do whatever to it since the restrictions would switch from resource to manpower (hence the invention of the nexus series)

Blade Runner basically takes place in the expansionary period between Judge Dredd and the Fifth Element after the invention of faster than light travel.

there are probably performance gains related to the format over general compression/packaging like zip. it also could be that creating a tool to read the contents is easier than creating one to do the packing which is why you cant just throw the files in there. also the game/format may expect certain files to be a certain size or length.

that's all just wild speculation tho.

re: silicon valley tonight, i dont even code and spaces seem like there for retards

they are. there are no legitimate reasons to use spaces over tabs which makes it a great litmus test

Shaggar
Apr 26, 2006
it should be inserting the tab character, not spaces. if its treating the tab stop as 8 characters that's weird but ok cause its still tabs.

Shaggar
Apr 26, 2006
if it replaces tabs with spaces you should fix it, and if its not fixable you should stop using it.

I just read Fluency and the sequel (both parts of the Confluence series) and it made me realize that a trope I've noticed in recent scifi is This Character Is A Genius With Languages And Has Even Been Able To Translate Uncontacted Tribes so they can smooth over the whole first contact problem

I prefer the SG1 method where everyone just speaks English
