My MacBook Pro is 10 next year. It still does MacBook stuff last time I checked.

Has it gotten worse, or has it stayed the same while real people left?
I don't ask to be a jerk. I'm genuinely curious. I don't roll over that way often anymore and when I do it's always for super specific things so I don't hit the front page.
Arch doesn't need a marketing department. If someone uses Arch they'll tell you.
The closest "city" to my shitty town was too poor for swanky cars. We used to cruise the strip in shit boxes.
Given how many guitar tabs archives are online today it's a shame what happened.
I like the season and still agree with you. At the least they need a lighter touch with the topical stuff so that it's not so on the nose.
The problem with topical cartoons set a thousand years in the future is two fold. First, life moves fast but production times don't. By the time an episode comes out either it's no longer topical or at the least the talking points are a year old. South Park gets away with it because they have short production times (ok, they used to, I haven't seen it in years so I don't know if that's still the case). Second, if it's not dated, I promise the viewers are watching a funny space show to escape the constant bombardment and fatigue of it for 23ish minutes.
There are tropes that can be used from topical episodes that don't have to be super on the nose. How people react to an epidemic is a super interesting thing to explore and we learned a whole lot in the last few years. But that can be explored while trusting your audience.
That's the point of speculative fiction. Explore today's problems in a way that forces you to think of tomorrow's solutions.
Is it really even a different suit? With the "reality is a simulation" theory it's likely whoever created the simulation offloaded a bunch of the mundane tasks to an AI that, if we were to try to interact with it, would be god.
I'm not saying I believe any of it. And I want to make sure you know I'm not shitting on your post because I like the way you're looking at it.
This is an anecdote because that site brought me back to another time. Feel free to skip it.
They have part of the OLGA archive there! Back in the day that was my go to. I had printed out multiple three ring binders full of tabs from there. When I would start working with new musicians I would put together a fakebook of 40-50 songs of the right style and just sit around and practice them.
That's how I went from being a terrible guitarist full of passion to a mediocre guitarist who could badly fake anything well enough that it's almost recognizable. It was such a great time.
They'll defend powderpuff football to the death.

I think the other side of that coin is that, for a lot of intellectual property, there are definitely people who want everyone to stop enjoying it. So you've got a bunch of loud mouth idiots who don't understand constructive criticism or criticism from a place of love. Then you have a bunch of other loud mouth idiots who believe that if something isn't exactly what they think it should be then it should be burnt to the ground so that it can get remade by someone else.
So reasonable people who are having a good time but still have some reservations are drowned out in the larger conversation.
If there's an Australian in you then maybe you shouldn't be commenting on the internet. Just relax and reciprocate that Australian's energy and enjoy yourself. Wait until you two are done before hopping back on for more comments.
