  • SNW went completely off the rails and became a CW science fiction show. It is not Star Trek and is so cringe worthy, it's painful to watch.

  • Believe me, i'd rather be 34 than 64. There also are not that many trilogies that I've re-read, Probably just Dune, Foundation and LOTR.

  • Just wait 50 years like I did to reread the trilogy and it will almost seem like you've never read it before.

  • A long time ago, Star Trek had some decent writers writers, many of whom were classic science fiction authors. Now all they have is a bunch of younger screenwriters that do not have a lot of life experience. Yeah, TOS and TNG could be cheesy at times but most of the episodes had substance. Kurtzman's Trek is like a CW show that's written for teenagers. SNW is definitely strange and new but it's not very good.

  • You will never find more wretched hives of scum and villainy. We must be cautious.

  • 15 years in September. I haven't bailed completely but almost.

  • I'm pretty far left politically and I can't stand Spez. The guy is the definitive self absorbed capitalist... seems pretty Republican to me.

  • A rewatch of "The Expanse" and occasionally Star Trek:TOS. SNW Is unwatchable.

  • Now they can steal all your data even faster

  • Had no clue you could sell a reddit acct...doesn't surprise me though.

  • You have a point but there's a pretty big difference between something like a statistics textbook and the novel "Dune" for instance. One was specifically written to teach mostly pre-existing ideas and the other was created as entertainment to sell to a wide an audience as possible.

  • I saved up 14 years worth of karma on Reddit and traded it in for…nothing, because that's what it's worth in the real world.

  • I'm 65 now. When I was a kid, I was relatively patriotic. Civil rights, moon landing, all that stuff. Now? Not so much. The US is still much better than many other countries but it's not the world leader that used to be.

  • I'm sure it's different for everyone but I was beginning to get burned out on social media and would have spent less time on it regardless.

  • The cordiality of a mob is inversely proportional to its size.

  • That may be true but those "woke" blue states are the ones that add money to the US treasury and the red states are the ones that deplete it.

  • I used it up to the early 2000's and it just seemed to slow down. I recently did a series of synthetic benchmarks on all the browsers and Firefox was the slowest of the batch. It's still the only browser left not built on chromium I think. Opera GX was the fastest in terms of benchmarking.
