  • It's worth it if you can view it with the mindset that it's intentionally silly/"camp". For a very basic comparison: It's in a similar style to shows like Buffy or Charmed, just more self-aware.

    Although it has to be said: It was technically a spinoff from Hercules, and there are crossover episodes. But that show is not nearly as good, for a multitude of reasons. And it got to the point where Kevin Sorbo(Hercules) is still salty about how a lot of the crew went over to Xena. He has even accused Lucy Lawless on social media of "stealing" crew from his show. To which she just laughs and mocks him, like she regularly does when he says stupid things.

  • That's why they go to Huntington Park, not South Central. Same reason they arrest cancer stricken children in courthouses instead of dangerous criminals. Because they're cowardly bullies who don't want anyone fighting back. And the one time they tried going into lower income immigrant community, they were chased out by the locals.

  • People who talk like that have only seen pictures from the show, or they watched it a little bit when they were a child and don't remember 99%.

    Because Xena and Gabrielle did pretty much everything except the physical deeds. And it was recently confirmed in a comic, where they kiss and say they love eachother.

    Hell, you could probably show them the old show with the parts set in modern times and they'd blow their gasket. Becase the reincarnations are the opposite genders for a while.

  • Not even just that they wrote laws to protect their status: A two party system is in and of itself prone to issues like what is currently going on. George Washington knew that, and warned about its dangers. Because it has happened multiple times throughout history.

  • Paywall it for short term gain, at the expense of long term viewership growth.

    Making a company worse for increased short term revenue, at the cost of customer retention, product quality, etc. causing increased turnover which further compounds all the other steps. Is a common issue among all modern companies.

    In short, there was a shift in MBA education a while back that includes a bunch of lies-by-omission and misrepresented data. Meaning that the only thing on their mind when they graduate, is to please investors at any all costs, including company longevity.

  • Fucking why.

    Because it will cause major issues, people will demand a replacement, and a private company owned by someone who bribed Trump will swoop in and "save" everyone with a subpar solution that is worse and cost more.

  • Yes. Europeans themselves also travel to other European countries for cheaper healthcare. To the point where there is an actual medical tourism industry.

    For example, there's a town of 35k people in Hungary that has over 300 dental clinics, because it's close to the Austrian border and is about half the cost or less.

  • That's because US customs and the TSA is not and should not be taken seriously, and they're known to lie about pretty much everything, constantly.

    If they ever make a statement, about anything, you can safely assume that the opposite is the actual truth of what they claim.

  • I'm pretty sure you can trace the management downturn of American companies back to a change in MBA curriculum.

    You can see when they started getting hired after the shift. Where they were taught that as long as your department is doing well and has positive numbers, LITERALLY nothing else matters. The company could be crashing and burning around you, you might even be causing it, but as long as those numbers are going up, you'll quickly get hired at another company. Because every single iota of their education is about pleasing investors who only care about money now, and not potential money in a few years.

  • Yeah, it's very obvious that some of the people responding here don't interact much with non-tech people, and they have DEFINITELY never worked IT.

    Most people aren't interested in learning the more intricate things. And if you try to force them, they're not going to get more interested as they learn, because they literally are not interested in tech. They want to accomplish a task, if that takes a bunch of learning just for one thing, they'll go a different route, or pay someone else to do it for them.

  • That has to be one of the most out of touch takes I've seen in a while. You're basically saying that things should be intentionally more complicated, and you expect the result to be people just power through and getting used to things being that way, instead of just stopping.
