Comment Re:What about lord of the rings? (Score 1) 110

Everyone is looking for a franchise where you can tell the same stories, utilize the same characters, over and over again. That is why Star Wars is worth a billion and paramount is banking its future on shows like strange new worlds. If they hit it is easy money.

On the other hand, Amazon is buying rights to sports, which are so extravagant they can only be seen as loss leaders to gain subscribers. It is money down the drain.

Free speech means talking the hood with the bad. Social media is a threat to the powerful because they can no longer control the naraative. Trump and Alito have free access to the WSH to spin their tarns, but what do the rest of us have. Sure we will get stories about fake COVID remedies or how McConnell splices his DNA with tortoise DNA to stay young, but that is small price to pay when the mainstream media is pushing extraterrestrial UFO debris. This is the right decision even if it is for dubious reasons.

Comment Do these people not have lives? (Score 0, Flamebait) 179

I donâ(TM)t know the number of sites I no longer visit. Twitter for one. They want too much money, or become useless, or donâ(TM)t like my comments. I know how to go away.

I know that for some, this is how they make their livelihood. But seriously, most of these, even /., are just toys. Have fun. Maybe learn a bit. Then go and have sex with someone.

In the US, as in much of the world, the aerospace industry is limited because it is dependent on government contracts. So Lockheed and Boeing are given free money so we have US military builder. Musk and Bezos fight over federal contracts. That we begin to build consumer based space flight is a very good thing

So I spent a lot of time in molerÃa infested places as a young person. Was not able to give blood for a while as I spent enough time there to have lived there.

Malaria is serious. In the US it is one of the many things we donâ(TM)t have experience with so can not really put it in context. What we do know is poor health care is a factor. In the place that once was riddled with materia, 30 years of improved health care means it is limited to the country side.

So yes, that we have it regressive places like Texas and Florida is indicative of bad government.
