Oh absolutely. I run a network-wide adblocker (pi-hole) and still also adblock stuff on all my clients.

Things like Adblock on iOS
🤝
Chuck Norris memes were barely funny the first time and he’s a crazy asshole now.
Just teasing :)
Yeah, they're both honestly pretty rough to use. kbin for example wouldn't show comments with any content blockers on for iOS, which makes it a pretty nonstarter for me. I personally don't think either have really nailed interface, either.
Not really. Apple's track record for this kind of thing is pretty great. See also, the San Bernardino case.
SGU is a BSG knockoff wearing Stargate lore like a skin-suit. Even if you forget about that, I personally found it boring af.
Stargate: Battlestar Galactica. It was so, so apparent at the time that they saw the success of BSG and wanted in on it. It's honestly hilarious because Trek tried to pull the same shit with Discovery, and then with Picard s1-2 before they reversed course and were like "what if we just made the type of Trek that Trekkies like?" and then comes Picard S3 and Strange New Worlds.
Joe Manchin is such an anachronism at this point. If this were 10-20 years ago, he'd just be a middle of the road Republican. Since it's 2023, he's too far left for the ~~nazis~~ modern Republican Party, and on the wrong side of just about every main stream Democrat issue. The only thing you can assume if Manchin runs is that he has some big donors that really want to see Trump win that will set Manchin up with a cushy job as a lobbyist.
This is forgetting the fact that we already socialize several things in our society. We've agreed that national protection is necessary, so if you're a citizen of most countries, you're paying taxes that pay for a military. We could very easily socialize food as well.
Take social security for example - it will provide some level of retirement, but you won't be living a life of luxury. There is no reason why we can't apply this model to food, healthcare, water, electricity, etc (and in certain circumstances, we often do.) This doesn't mean that those on medicare are being cared for while doctors are held at gunpoint, it means that we use taxes to do a tiny bit of taking care of people.
We're a society beyond real scarcity, only artificial scarcity. Our productivity levels over the last few hundred years especially has increased exponentially. Just since the 40 hour work week was standardized upon, we've made leaps and bounds but been allowed to realize none of those gains.
We're so brainwashed in the US we don't even realize that quite a few other countries already do these things more successfully than we do, and pretend like there is no other possibility.
You’ve got another baseless accusation in the first sentence of this post. Anyway, the person who commented here on your post has it:
The last season is more or less TNG fan service. I enjoyed it but take it for what it is.
