Why are you commenting on a subject that you admit is none of your business? I suppose it's related to the fact that you didn't understand that you literally just said you ARE NOT OK with the ban, since the government definitely DOES NOT meet the requirements which would make you OK with it (and that goes for the US and your government.)

Yeah, it's going to be hard to establish a plausible positive ROI for interstellar travel. I think even public funding for probes will be problematic, since it will take years just to get flyby photos. Probably the first flyby will be funded by some rich guy.

If the Feds want to protect children from sex, why don't thy start by telling the DoJ to prosecute the Epstein bros instead of protecting them?

Born yesterday, I presume?

We should pass around a hat for all those rich people who didn't richer as fast as they expected to.

Then what happened?

And their honeycomb really attracts the Martian bears!

I'm not sure if you understood that I am saying the Matrix is unwatchable or not.

So you don't think the 1st Amendment is important. You are OK with the government having power, but don't believe the people should have power. You have a right to that particular ridiculously ignorant belief. What you don't have is the right to infringe upon others rights. You don't have to like the 1st Amendment, but you do have to abide by it.

because you don't have any idea where it got its "facts" from.

With a link you can (roughly) judge the credibility of the source. I.e., did the "facts" come from published research or some nobody on social media. Or some known propaganda outlet.

Sounds like a good strategy for a studio that expects their big movie to be a box office flop.

I'm well aware. I was writing software before the IBM PC existed, and before the Apple Lisa hit the market. I didn't mention Tron and the Matrix because I thought they were both released at the same time. I can't imagine why you thought that, even if I didn't already know that information, it would in any way be pertinent.

Thanks for explaining the "joke" ... Now I see why it definitely wasn't funny.

I won't figure it out because the premise of Tron is stupid. I'd sooner watch the Matrix all the way through than Tron and I don't have that much lack of taste. I prefer good movies where off the chart level of suspension of disbelief aren't required.

If you are taking about the shitty remake then you are correct. It doesn't matter though, because protocols can't kill. That's not how protocols work.
