  • I always heard that grocery stores dump their "expired" food instead of donating it to avoid the possibility that someone could get sick and sue them. Idk if it's true or not but the whole thing is fucked.

  • Through absolute chance (the TV i wanted was sold out on clearance so I got a different one on clearance) I ended up with an Android TV-powered sony bravia. It lets you go into the app permissions and disable the optical recognition whateverthefuck they call it software. The rest of the analytics can be blocked by some regex firewall/DNS rules. It's the only smart TV OS that I would recommend.

  • Oh man yeah, I didn't even bother playing the male protag since I heard Kassandra was the canonical or intended choice. Then I heard Alex or whoever and was so glad I didn't have to listen much longer.

  • Another one that irks me for some reason is that a LOT of games get the MOST boring, cookie-cutter action hero voice actor for the dude. I just can't get invested when "me" in the game sounds so unenthusiastic. I tend to pick the female character/voice option just bc they seem to put more effort into it. See: CP2077, most bioware games.

  • yeah, it appears that they just took some generic gauge animation, in which arrows always tend to start on the left-hand side (think any of the gauges in your car.) Once you vote it does tell you that the most popular opinion is that it's center/fair

  • Something else I forgot to mention was a concept that I learned in the military called BLUF: Bottom Line Up Front. The idea is that most people aren't going to read past the first sentence or two before skipping to the end so you better get the absolutely critical information out right away; before your reader gets bored/decides they have more pressing matters to deal with. I would regularly see emails that started with a summary before even the salutations.

  • That was basically my thought as well, but I still say it plays well as a stand-alone story to give someone a taste of Trek. They may be confused at the beginning of the episode but I feel it's self contained and focused enough that most people can pick up the major beats from context (Cardassians = occupiers, Bajorans = formerly occupied). And then hopefully the acting, the mystery, and the twist ending are enough to, like you said, make the viewer want to learn more.
