You underestimate my power

Yeah I didn't want to analyze that too much, but the circumstances were completely different. The first guy he had to kill for his own preservation. The second time he was under no threat and starting to defy orders and listening to Jyn. It's almost like a nitpick for the sake of picking things apart.

about 2/3 of what they're saying is about the production and trailers before the movie was released. Other critiques about no character growth for Andor, but not mentioning Jyn's arc at all.

Also Rogue One brought us Andor, so even if it was a terrible movie, it spawned some of the best TV in the last 5 years, which says a lot about the movie and the characters.

That was so funny, I had to pause taking the quiz I was laughing so hard at question 9. The snark in the explanations is fantastic.

I'm pretty sure you still had to pay your phone provider who may have charged $0.10/call unless AOL was using 1-800 numbers to dial to?

Taking things too seriously, fruits and vegetables are generally much smaller, and can not speak and hold a baseball bat.

What a terrible day to be literate

There was a good episode of Planet Money where they interviewed some doctors who were trying to get rid of beepers at their hospital. Basically during testing, it was found that when using an app to send messages to doctors, it was almost too simple and non critical messages were being sent to doctors. This was creating a lot of noise and causing them to be overwhelmed and ignoring the notifications on the phone. It seemed as though the clunkyness of paging someone was a feature so that doctors on call were actually getting relevant information.
