I hate how it seems to be a priority of our government to support Israel and that there isn't a single party that we could elect who would actually put an end to that support.
Note, I rarely, if ever, use a TV anymore, so smart TVs have never appealed to me. But Roku seems to be very anti consumer (between the forced arbitration and their ad policy), so I don't understand why someone looking to get a smart TV would actually want a Roku over an alternative.
Maybe I'm just poorly informed, but it just seems like almost anything else should be a better option?
Just to your point about The Martian, I would argue that the book wasn't 'objectively' better than the movie, but that the movie had a different vibe than the book due to the change from written text logs to the video logs.
It's a limitation of the format, but the movie almost feels like it belongs to a different telling of the story than Weir's original? As if there he'd written in the 80s, someone rewrote it slightly different in the 00's, and the rewrite got made into a movie?
I am definitely biased because I really enjoy both The Martian book and movie, just in different ways.
You act as though I'm not bitter about it. You pointing out how great it was and how much it sucks that I missed it only makes me more bitter.
There is no job market where I live. As in within my friend group, we have collectively applied to ~30 jobs in the last year and gotten 2 responses. My employer was very clear that they were not giving time off for the eclipse, so that wasn't an option. And had I just left, bye bye job. Can't pay rent, can't afford food.
If you want to point out how much it sucks, by all means. But don't act like you know my situation, like I don't know what I had to miss out on, and then point to fucking xkcd saying "see? I'm right".
Get high and watch the entire Star Wars original trilogy. Been too long since I've watched them. May throw in the prequels too.
