This just makes me sad that we’ll probably never see the Rogue Leader games ever again

I believe the antivax movement was able to take root because the US has cultivated an intense distrust of the medical system.

• You pay high medical insurance premiums only to get denied when it’s time to cash in.

• You avoid calling for an ambulance because the ride alone will bankrupt you.

• You go to the ER only to get hundreds of dollars in fine for over the counter Tylenol.

The public was trained by the medical institutions to look for any excuse to reject them. The antivax movement was a way to express that distrust, even if unconsciously. Politicians simply lit that major oil spill and gave it a voice.

Likewise, we live in a capitalistic hellscape where no one can afford homes and cars to take them to jobs where they’re underpaid and can be let go in an instant, not due to performance, but because an executive wanted another tax break on the dragon money hoard they refuse to put back into the economy.

Like with the antivaxers, we have been conditioned to expect the worst and that impacts our gut reactions.

Firefox on iOS uses WebKit.

I think you’ve inadvertently narrowed down that the issue is an extension you have enabled for Safari. Since it’s not the website itself.

But the mystery ship is already built… implying they’ve had him for quite a while now. Why search for something they already have?

Each season we get some key art that mimics the movie posters for the original movies. Season 1’s was a homage to the Motion Picture, 2 the Wrath of Kahn etc… the connections are extremely loose and rarely impact the plot in any meaningful way, but they’re there. (For instance, in S4 we have the whale probe in the opening sequence)

Considering V was a quest to meet God, and the Koala is the closest thing LD has to that, baring Q or Trelane and the like, I think it’s safe point of conjecture.

But, for realsies, the only things we currently know about S5 is that it’s in production, T’Lyn is sticking around, and we’re visiting Orion again.

I mean, to be fair, we got a LARGE info dump with the first ascension. The secrets of the universe, omniscience, the meaning of life… what more is there?

That said, Lower Decks extremely loosely follows along the original movies… considering V is up next, we may get the answer to “What does a Koala need with a spaceship?” and all it entails.

The cutscenes feel like they were inspired by something like “Lady Lovelylocks”… which isn’t a bad thing… but the game itself seems devoid of personality.

Mmm… I can kinda see the argument. DuckDuckGo may not be collecting your info, specifically, but anything remotely loaded certainly is.

Still, shouldn't let perfect be the enemy of good.

Well… when Teddy Roosevelt failed to gain the support of the Republican Party, he formed the Progressive party and republican voters were split between him and Taft, leading to Woodrow Wilson gaining the presidency.

That kinda makes sense.

Sanctions only work because of pre-existing trade with unscrupulous powers. Similar logic.

I’d argue the worst thing to happen to the Mac was hand-in-hand the Dawn of the App Store in Snow Leopard, and the fall of Version Tracker as the go-to resource for discovering apps.

If a rival App Store means that we get a functional search tool for iOS—and then by proxy the Mac—then I am all for it.

Any update on that VPN breaking issue?
