Seems a little overboard for some kind of friendly conversation, especially when it had nothing to do with my general point. I was just stating that I wasn’t comfortable with marketing in general. The implication being from large corporations.
As I’ve never taken an intro to business course, as I’m not interested in that aspect of hyper-capitalism that entails, I just go on the general context of the thread and general sentiment. Not a super-literal definition given in your community college.
The hyperbole seems to be all yours, you’ve taken a statement I used to lead into the general topic of my comment and somehow built an entire personality out of to assign to me.
I’m not comfortable with marketing. That is my personal opinion. I know lots of other people have other opinions. Some people are neutral, they don’t give a shit. Others seem to think of it as completely and utterly necessary in every degree of society. They’re allowed that, I have no power nor will to take that from them.

I’m perfectly fine without those, yeah. Though you seem to be taking my meaning to a more extreme degree than was inferred.

Sure, if you only take it at it’s most extreme and dont use a little bit of critical thinking. I specifically referenced companies in a thread about large corporations manipulating social issues for their own gain. I also gave wiggle room with the 99 out of a 100 reference.
I think you also cast far too wide a net with your definitions of marketing, especially in the context of the conversation happening.
I’d check your own sky to be absolutely sure it’s falling before throwing aspersions like that around. You may have a hysterical over-exaggeration of your own there.
- Comment on 'No gay, no pay': The RuneScape community is absolutely mauling Jagex's new CEO over his decision to cancel new Pride Month events 4 days ago:
I’m not comfortable with companies using any kind of marketing tactics. Because 99 times out of a 100 it’s speedy and underhanded.
But since they’re going to be doing it anyways, doing it with pride, or disenfranchised demographics, at least normalizes their humanity. Which, at the end of the day, is the point of pride month et al.
- Comment on Newsom Says Trump Is Destroying U.S. Democracy in Speech on L.A. Protests 1 week ago:
He’s neo-liberal at best. That doesn’t mean those on the progressive left can’t sieze on this moment to invigorate themselves, and work with him and those like him to fight against these injustices.
He’s not a sole savior who can right all the wrongs, he’s just one man. That doesn’t mean we can’t stand beside and fight with him. He’s one among the many, we need to decide on our own values, and decide if they’re worth fighting for.

This is literally mocking that take. It is saying, even if you drop those little dopamine hits you won’t be magically transported into a lavish fantasy life.

Always has been. They just used to call it something else.

Honor is a flexible concept, especially for Klingons.

So not exactly a hell freezing over situation, more of a blue moon?
- Comment on Stellar Blade removes its region lock on Steam, now available in most of the world 2 weeks ago:
But a game doesn’t have to be on GOG to not have DRM.
- Comment on Stellar Blade removes its region lock on Steam, now available in most of the world 2 weeks ago:
Doesn’t DRM often get removed after a game wanes in popularity as it’s no longer worth the price to keep up the Denuvo license?

- Comment on Antony Starr had to knock down 'The Boys' fans glorifying Homelander: 'This guy is not the hero' 2 weeks ago:
They didn’t need the “hero” to glorify this kind of behavior. It’s an excuse, not a cause.
- Comment on Antony Starr had to knock down 'The Boys' fans glorifying Homelander: 'This guy is not the hero' 2 weeks ago:
Some people think burning the world down is somehow heroic.
The scary part is they’re not all MAGA, or even conservatives.

There’s that one episode where she relives the trauma of losing her first child.
- Comment on What are some examples of some of the most well-known and watched TV series at the time that been forgotten culturally? 5 weeks ago:
Dallas was the one that took place in Texas, since it started a few years earlier that’s probably why people think of it first when confronted with the idea of late night soaps. Especially with the sharks they jumped in later seasons.

Being beholden to laws and having laws enforced are not the same thing, unfortunately.

Yeah, all landlords are completely sane and never nefarious at all. Complete mistake on my part, I apologize.

If it were labeled a trial account, not a free account, I might agree. But i think it’s more for harvesting contact details and hoping for a paid subscription down the line.

Lindelof is the perfect choice for another overwrought melodrama with poor character development, but I think we have more than enough of that already.

So… 100-400 episode seasons aired four times a week year round?
- Comment on Daredevil: Born Again Showrunner Officially Announces Season 2 Premiere Date for March 2026 1 month ago:
I remember a five month gap between 26 episode seasons. Usually a good time to catch reruns of the episodes you missed.
Unless you’re talking about kids cartoons, in which you’d have 50-200 episode seasons that aired twice a week year round.

TNG, Devil’s Due
- Comment on Are there any Trek episodes where they enforce the Prime Directive to protect a developing world within Federation space from an external influence? 2 months ago:
There was that one episode where they tried to save a planet from Satan. I dont think the planet was technically pre-warp, though, especially since there were federation scientists/engineers on the planet working with the population.

Weren’t they working against the prime directive? Otherwise they wouldn’t have beamed them back down after beaming them up. They had to trick the ferengi into leaving of their own accord… well the accord of the mob burning them in a pyre, but still.
