Absurd that pointing guns at people to get fake support would be seen as any more legitimate than just having the soldiers do the fake voting themselves.

Yes, it's not much different from tipping. Puts the burden of responsibility in the wrong place. If a business wants to support charities and use it in marketing, just give money to charities and tell people how much it was. And/or give people the contact details of the charities if you want to promote them.

The biggest state, bigger than many countries. How different can it be from other parts of the same country?

An armed society is a society where people are looking for someone to shoot.

I watched some of the GWB parodies. I never had any interest in watching Trump parodies, and I'd be annoyed to have comedians do them in shows I otherwise liked.

It's not funny anymore, and it wasn't really that fun then, although satire is a valid method of political commentary. But week after week, there's nothing new, nothing that's more shocking than what was already known. They're fully and completely terrible persons, who should never have political power. Don't need to embody them to understand that.

Except they don't even attempt to look like good people. Satan would think he's been doing it all wrong, he should've just said "I'm here to rule over you all and destroy the world, vote for me".

I thought the idea was that Republicans are actively working on destroying what has been working fine and is benefitting lots of people, not just on preventing more progress.

AI PC sounds like something that will be artificially personal more than anything else.

Or you could say night is the anomaly, because most places in the universe are stars.

Nighttime is absence. You could say most of the universe is absence, but most matter is stars.

Isn't that the goal for some people in meditation? Nothingness.

Well, Super Mario and WoW are opposites in how many options you have. Forsaken is one of the few I never played.

Although for fantasy games, some people don't want to play humans at all, because they're too relatable.

It's been over five years since the last one, so it seems about time to do another one.

I want to be as thorough as possible. But I don't want to do 357 separate threads. Or rather, I don't want to post once per day for 357 separate days.

So I could post groups of threads at once, one thread per episode/movie, which would work fine for search engines. But it is spammy.

The other extreme would be one thread per season. I'm not sure if the character limit is going to allow for it, and breaking it up into multiple posts within the thread would be less clean.

Or I could do one thread per roughly 7 episodes. That seems to be an okay grouping, in terms of having multi-part stories in the same thread. Will occasionally cross seasons, though.

As for content, last time I felt like I was being overly negative, because it's easier to comment on what I don't like. So I want to have some regular sections, and I'm open to suggestions.

First dealing with the negative, and trying be constructive about it:

Why this episode doesn't work (optional).

How this episode could've worked, imagining what could've been happening off-screen.

And how it could've been done differently (changing the existing scenes).

Then more neutral:

Stats, like death count for characters, or maybe resurrection count, because not everyone has that.

What's new in this episode, like first contact with a species/civilization, a world, a tech, gaining an ally/enemy (or a Major players appearance count, accompanied by a stat for significant one-offs), defeating an enemy (although maybe not, since that could be a spoiler for who's coming back). Could have stats for lost worlds, ships, etc.

Then positive, or highlights: A fun scene, an interesting idea, new potential, good acting (although generally I don't comment on performances).

I also want to build on my own theories. Such as what an apparently abandoned world could be used for, how low-key allies could be more involved, how new tech could be used (instead of only being used to solve a new problem, and then forgotten about), or how vulnerabilities could've been exploited. Adding up across the series, each of the series, over time. If that isn't too complicated. Ultimately, with each new path taken, the story could branch into its own alternate reality.

Maybe separate that out to supplemental threads.

And finally or maybe put this at the top, plot summary, general commentary.

If I go with the 7 episodes a thread option, I guess an apt thread title would be; "2023 rewatch 2/52, Stargate SG-1 Season 1 E01-E07". And something like "2023 Stargate rewatch Supplement A, Alliance of the Four Great Races".

 

Ifølge Reuters har Mondelez allereie redusert produksjonen i Russland, og innan 2024 skal verksemda vere skilt ut frå resten av selskapet, seier dei i ei fråsegn.

Har tapt pengar

I Noreg og Sverige eig Mondelez Freia og Marabou, som den siste tida har opplevd å bli boikotta av fleire norske verksemder som ei følge av den ukrainske svartelistinga.

Men fleire av desse, som Elkjøp, Norwegian og Widerøe, valde onsdag å snu og avslutte boikotten.

Medan andre, som hotellkjeda Strawberry og SAS, valde å halde fram å boikotte.

– For oss handlar det om Mondelez som eigar og deira rolle i Russland, noko Ukrainas liste synleggjer, ikkje enkeltprodukt eller Freia, sa kommunikasjonssjef i SAS, Tonje Sund onsdag.

Får se hva de faktisk gjør i løpet av de nærmeste månedene, men det blir uttrykt her at det hjelper å boikotte selskap. At vi ikke er for små til å merkes i markedet.
