I enjoyed andor. The first 1.5 seasons were pretty solid. Then they started “discovering” characters who were in Rouge One and doingbtheir usual BS where we are all supposed to faint because someone we know shows up…

I’ve never known any other way. Companies by definition exist to make profits, not to improve the lives of thier customers. Any business that truely has the interest of thier customers first doesn’t last long.

You started out decent, then went off the deepend. You are connecting plants to refined sugars in the end. An apple (from a plant) has no refined sugar. No plants do. And the milk thing sounds like a conspiracy theory. They ban raw milk because if it isn’t handled correctly, it can make you sick. While this is a bit of an over reach, in most places it started long before thier was an industry to protect.

I agree with you, but my brain was like… there really is no way to verify employment when company no longer exists. That is just an interesting point to me. I suppose it could be relevant for people who work for more than just Hollywood. But inside Hollywood, I have heard that it is like you say, a lot of word of mouth. Probably enables all sorts of middlemen that trade in that kind of info.

I wish their were, but I’m not so sure. They started arresting people who simply wrote articles they didn’t like. They have declared an organization that doesn’t actually exist terrorists. So now all the have to do is is say, you’re antifa and you are under arrest. Any peacful solution will just result in the people involved getting arrested. Or at some point they will just declare a peaceful protest a terrorist attack because one person threw a rock that they thought was a gernade… and they then just open fire. They are clamping down on the media so that only thier voice is heard. And they are meddling with elections so they can’t lose. But here is a simpler answer. If thier were peaceful ways, then the people of more countries would have used those in thier countries. But if you look, the vast majority are under the control of corrupt governments. The US is the result of a violent revolution. It just didn’t last. Corrupt rule is the steady state that all large organizations trend toward.

Start looking for smart objective people to hire. I know enough to know that I don’t know enough to make decisions in a vacuum. At the end of the day, the president is the face of the government, but the people behind him are what should really matter.

Noone would ever confuse me for someone who dresses for others. Lol

Dictators care about how they are perceived because they used skills in manipulating how they are perceived to get into the position they are in. Making it a self selecting group. But when you change “how” they get there to simply be that they were given superpowers at birth, you remove the self selection. So now it is just a random sampling of the population, which in my opinion skews toward not caring as much about how they are percieved if they don’t need to.

There are certainly people who do. But I think they are the minority. They do sort of bunch up though. So if you are one, you probably don’t realize you are the minority.

That is too much of a commitment. Should end with I’ll consider that, or I’ll look into that.

Nope, cause pharmaceutical company would produce a drug that you take for a short time and never need again. Not enough profit. And they would have no actual control over the superheros. In the boys, all of the sups seemed to care what the public thought of them so much, they would do what the corp wanted. In reality, the ones who didn’t care would outnumber the ones who did. And they would just kill whoever they wanted, and threaten to kill others to get what they wanted. Kinda like the oligarchy we have today, but with far less constraint, and no need to even try to hide things like being pedos and racists and such.

Only workers are expected to be happy with good enough. The elite will never say the balance of thier bank account is good enough. And thus companies always need to grow bigger.

Sex first, then dinner.

I was taught to call the neutral “common” cause neutral makes it sound safe.

I’m interested to know how you are wiring plugs… and why. They are sold pre wired in my area. Are they not in yours?

This was texas, why didn’t the good guys with guns fire back.

AI slop, or brainwashed person. Does it really matter? No, both hallucinate.

But God created everything. So he must have created Evil or it wouldn’t exist.

Wait a second. You argued that God made the babies… so if the babies were going to be evil… he made them that way. That sounds more like evil to me.

I think the fact that there is a divide at all about murder is pretty informative. Generally speaking, that isn’t a sign of a healthy society. It speaks to how frustrated many people are with society these days. I do believe that social media makes this occurrence drastically different than any other potential societal collapse. So any predictions are worth the cost you pay for them.
