In the past couple of years I’ve seen a few cases where 8-episode seasons contain a lot of filler, maybe because the writers felt like they couldn’t bring in more than one major plot point in so few installments.

This is really well thought out. There was something that always bugged me about BSG that I couldn’t quite put my finger on, and you explained what it was quite nicely.
It really pissed me off that the writers swore up and down that they had the overall storyline established and that they knew where they were headed, and then it turned out they were just winging it. Stories that depend on the answer to a big mystery to tie everything together need to be worked out ahead of time.
Reddit’s value has never been in the “average redditor” or the “popular subs”. The real value is in the niche tail of communities and the fact that they have such a massive amount of people that even if “only” 10% of their users were decent people, it still meant that they had enough decent people to talk with something to contribute.
Yeah, I don't use Reddit any longer, but it was really great that there were active subs devoted to incredibly obscure topics. If you wanted to talk about something, chances were that thousands of other people did too.
And why is the area code of Apple’s phone number in single quotes?
Yes, the whole thing is especially frustrating because the app was quite nice. Harriette did a really good job really quickly.
If so, at least it means the wind is blowing in the right direction for a change.
Not much good at anything, but incredible at self-promotion so people think he is
A friend of mine once made what I thought was an absolutely brilliant observation: "Self-promotion is the only skill that is consistently rewarded."
I think governmental organizations should do the same. It's absurd that FEMA or whoever essentially has to rely of Elon's goodwill.
Why should a political organization be tax-exempt?
Yes, that’s pretty much where I’m at.
