Not an unreasonable interpretation!
Is it surprising that people might miss that, though? Especially if they don't already agree with the antifascist message.
4 in particular I think is more open to interpretation based on ones existing biases than people seem to think. Being over the top doesn't necessarily have to be mockery and authorial intent is peanuts to a random personwatching a movie.
The other points IIRC are individual moments rather than recurring themes. It's not surprising to me that significant numbers of people overlook them.
Is it really that mind-boggling? ST has always seemed to me to read whichever way you are already predisposed to. How does everybody dying make it an anti-war movie? I would be shocked if the kind of person who believes in the good of a war machine were surprised that lots of people die in war.
Maybe my memory is a bit hazy, but the bugs actually annihilate a city, right? What is the human response supposed to be? The extreme nature of the government and military only come across as insane if you've already been educated about fascism. Desperate times do indeed call for desperate measures, which muddies the antifascist message in my opinion.
It's a great movie, but anyone who thinks it's going to change anyone's mind from their preconceptions is fooling themselves.
What am I missing?
Debunked how? The middle one is the only one I haven't encountered in the wild.
Man, I don't understand this sentiment at all. I don't know what would be different from my setups, but KDE has always been rock solid for me. Back when I used it on Mandrake Linux and today.
OP, might you be an Arch user?
I did this over a decade ago and it's still working. If I remember correctly I had to call to make it a permanent opt-out but it was totally worth it. My credit score was totally unaffected.
Essentially the same scenario with free credit reports and AnnualCreditReport.com. Just look up the instructions through ftc.gov whenever you're unsure about something. I still follow the link to the credit report site from ftc.gov these days even though I remember the actual .com as well, just for good measure.
This is the exact hole that had me quit Gentoo so many times over the years. When I stopped trying to be cool and just set my system up with KDE it finally stuck and I've been happily using it ever since.
Once you're past setup and understand package management, what is a distro but a desktop environment, after all?
So if 401ks are bad because they incentivize gambling, what's the alternative? You have a uselessly broad definition that seems to lead people only to a guarantee of losing purchasing power through inflation. Better guarantee a loss than "gamble" with strong evidence to support your risk I see.
Saying "the house always wins" about things like index investing is hilarious.
Just plain old blue electrical arcs.
On the other hand, Cherenkov radiatiation is only indirectly related to criticality. It comes from any particle moving through a medium, generally water, faster than light travels through that medium. A luminous sonic boom of sorts! It's associated with criticality because those are the contexts where it happens often enough to actually be visible.
Mercury-based diodes both look way cooler and are way less spooky than garden variety semicondictor diodes.
And the whole human body, brain and all, can run on ~100 watts. Truly astounding.
It's not an assumption, I understand the risks. I know it will go both up and down. That doesn't make it gambling. What on earth isn't gambling in your eyes?
No, diversification makes it not gambling. Not all risk is gambling.
A highly diversified portfolio is the opposite of gambling. Don't let the "traders" and crypto bros sour you on the power of conservative investing.
Oxygen ravages electrons all day at the end of the electron transport chain and nobody bats an eye, but you steal one pair off some DNA and everybody loses their minds!
