[QUOTE=Agent Fedora;52432635]Same, I tried watching it again before season 5 but I still wasn't into it. I really liked the focus on atmosphere and straight action at first but it gets boring after a while because there's no overarching story so it never feels like Jack's getting anywhere or accomplishing anything.[/QUOTE]
I think that may be the point, actually
It definitely is, it let them have each episode be a separate situation with its own unique characters and setting that didn't need to carry over to the next. I really wanted to love it too, it has great art and sound design and it's really well animated, but after a couple seasons I stopped being impressed by those things and I realized I just didn't care about what was happening at all.
Even with its problems, I liked season 5 better because it had a conflict that built up over the course of it and that made it more engaging to me.
When the new/last season started airing I tried to watch the show from the beginning but only made it through maybe 5 episodes of the first season before saying fuck it.
Haven't watched the last season either.
it really bugs me how big the "the chinese discovered america in 1421" meme, hell its something a professor told me in a class (granted it was an 1001 class, and not a history course). but like, there's no actual evidence backing the claim up and its mind boggling how much its spread
Emmanuel Macron is shit and it looks like he is turning out just like Hollande before him.
Sam Raimi's Spiderman films are trash, and I never understand what people seem in them, especially that second one.

When I saw Arrival in theaters, there was a woman with two infant children. Got old after a while.
Slightly different, but when I saw Logan, the whole front row was ~10 year old children with no parent in sight. They were mostly well behaved, but letting kids that young go see a movie like that seems a bit questionable.

Depends on material, stretch jeans are choice.
I couldn't live without skinny jeans at this point, I'm so conditioned to them as the norm that anything with a slightly looser fit makes me feel like a cowboy.
i hate it when a lot of people go on and on about how we need to colonise space and they focus mostly on the "why aren't we doing it" instead of the better question of how we'd actually even do it. colonising Australia in the 18th century is a much much easier thing done than colonising Mars. Earth has air, land to farm, water, plus if things get fucked up you can easily go back home or get supply ships in. If worst comes to worst, civilizations on Earth can collapse but it won't mean the people dying out. Civilizations are fragile things, and we've been about 99% of our history without them (we are equipped to deal with the consequences of not having one).
It's very different when it comes to space. We've only been sending humans into it for half a century and have only made it possible (at the expense of billions) to occupy a few orbital stations with astronauts who can barely stay up there for long without starting to develop horrible illnesses. Unlike the colonial days of America where anybody could grab their stuff and wander out into the wilderness, the future colonies would require much more resources, manpower, skills, and organisation. Space colonies would be incredibly fragile and if one thing went wrong (air, food, water, etc) the whole colony is fucked and will perish.
I might be convinced if a viable colony subject to the most difficult possible conditions and stress-tested relentlessly was set up in Antarctica as a prototype or dry-run. They ought to be looking at that first instead of coming up with batshit ideas to set up colonies on Mars in 20 years and other ludicrous proposals various people come up with.
I wonder if people thought that ^ before other people started to colonize the world

people can colonize the world with stone tools and wooden huts (barring Antarctica). colonizing space is an entirely different matter altogether which is the point

Exept there's a shittonne of ocean between Afroeuroasia and America. And let's not forget how difficult and dangerous traveling long distances actually were back then.

barring the fact you're ignoring that stone-age peoples in wooden rafts sailed the pacific and managed to colonize all of Polynesia (these distances and the difficulties are comparable to Europeans sailing to America), the situation is entirely different though (the point i keep trying to make). Just because it was easy to colonise our world doesn't mean that space will be.
A bunch of normal people with some tools and a boat can travel to pretty much any corner of the world and set up shop. in order to colonize mars and make a self-sufficient colony, you need billions upon billions of dollars in monies, highly skilled technical staff, tons of advanced technology (some of which doesn't exist yet and we don't know if it will come to be), and you need to transport it a distance of a hundred million miles (when the stone age colonizers had to travel less than one hundredth of a percent of that distance to get to anywhere on the planet). And unlike stone-agers colonizing someplace, you need a vast and complicated technologically advanced civilisation with high levels of economic production to just send a man into space, let alone colonise another world.

Just because you can chop down a tree and cut out a boat doesn't really mean that there aren't any risks. And it isn't really my point either
[QUOTE=Clovis;52444183]hey you know whats a really long distance? the distance from earth to mars. now thats a hell of a trek![/QUOTE]
Okay? I didn't really argue otherwise, and I didn't really argue against Sobotnik at first. Looking back, it does seem like it

is it really remotely comparable tho when people found themselves on america literally by accident lmao.

Both take a lot of effort and both is a long distance with the technology they have/had. Wouldn't say space travel is easier by any means, and I'm not sure if it's as worth it either

The challenges that needed to be overcome to sail across the ocean reliably are incomparable to what it will take to setup a mars colony, even if it was difficult for them to set up their colonies.
That is also true that there's less direct gain, we still get a lot of technology from it (albeit very expensively.) I still support funding NASA tho, I just don't really care too much about the prospect of a human-occupied Mars colony since we'll probably be dead before that's done.

It's not like a crew of people are building rockets and shooting themselves vaguely in the direction they [I]think[/I] their destination [I]might[/I] be in a completely unexplored area that has a shitton of land that you can't miss in that direction prior to hitting their actual destination which they're only going to for space spices.
The situations aren't really the same.
