I mean, for all intents and purposes, they kinda are. They’re both pictures of artists making a political statement with their art.

Yeah I’ve been dealing with this issue since I came over from the other place last year. It’s incredibly annoying, and a number of times has made me rage-delete comments I’m trying to post. It happens to me every day, but I can usually find a server that works for a while by randomly switching a few times.
I use ProtonVPN.
There’s a ton of awesome chemistry amongst the cast in seasons 8 through 10, which more than makes up for the Ori storyline IMO. The Farscape reunion, Shanks’ wife as the doctor (she’s great in her own right, I only recently found out they met on Andromeda), the fact that they never really had to break-in General Landry, he was agreeable from the start, Teal’c coming into his own with all the Jaffa, etc.
They had the formula nailed down to a science, and you could tell they were having a lot of fun.
I’m deep into a long-overdue rewatch in case you couldn’t tell…
I know you said to avoid the “just don’t connect it” advice, but I frankly think that’s your best bet without shelling out absurd amounts of money. I hate the concept of smart TVs, so like you I tried to find a reasonably priced dumb TV. Had zero luck. Instead, I bought a 55” Hisense TV (U8K) about 6 months ago, and have never once connected it to the internet. I think it’s technically a Google TV, but I wouldn’t know, since I just connect my devices to it, no internet necessary. It’s a gorgeous display with amazing picture quality. All the features are enabled, nothing was stuck behind an internet-wall. I don’t regret it.
Quantum Break was SO good. I’ll die on that hill. I want more of it.
Bummer. That’s some weak and feckless megacorp bullshit. Just like something Stewart would cover, which is why this show was such a great power move. And yet? Infinite profit over all else, so never mind.
Look at John Oliver, he talks shit about HBO constantly. Do they care? Nope, because he has more Emmys than anyone could know what to do with. Respect your talent and reap the rewards. Pretty basic stuff, Apple.
Mitch is a piece of shit, who has done irreparable harm to America and shares a significant amount of the blame for why the country and its government is in such a horrible place right now.
BUT I don’t wish him harm, at all. I hope he’s okay, seriously. He needs to retire. Now. And live out the rest of his life in private.
I don’t have an Xbox, but I’m thrilled any time companies add good customizable accessibility options. It’s good for folks who really need it, but also usually good for those of us who just like to customize everything as much as possible. Everybody wins.
