Oh no…

Shocking, that negativity gets you the same in return.

You don’t even need the panel if you just make a paragraph.

Water ratios vary between 4:1 and 2:1 in mead, based on a two second google search, actually.

That’s actually Tasmania.

Shows you how much of a dent they’re putting in the bottom line.

Or how desperate google execs are to get even the tiniest bump in revenue.

It’s a job creator, so in effect it makes money.

Meh. If life weren’t so focused on material gains and losses, I wouldn’t need to.

It would also mean potential losses for the distributors, as people are (supposedly) less likely to buy directly for them.

So, again, the problem isn’t the media, it’s the distributors.

I mean, I can actually own a bunch of stuff as long as it doesn’t have some sort of proprietary DRM bullshit attached to it.

The problem isn’t that there’s no way to obtain media in a non-bullshit way. The problem is that distributors don’t want to provide media in a non-bullshit way.

Well as long as we know the ship is sinking around us, we don’t need to know why or do anything about it.

Then they started making alcohol out of them.

Yeah, except most of the Star Trek movies are more akin to the Marvel movies than they are the Star Trek shows.

… because they have access to the materials.

I feel like you just ignored the major factor in their statement because it conflicted with your point of view.

Nah, everyone making the reference has never consumed any media involving the character, and say as much repeatedly.

But they still make the criticism, because their favorite content creator made a longwinded video about it that was full of supposition and assumption (or flat out making shit up for the views).

Because if someone makes a 20 minute youtube video about it, it must be true.

Yeah, but the point of registration (from Stark’s point of view) was to train superheros how to engage villains safely. Not run blind into a situation with a villain who can level a square quarter mile at the speed of thought.

Nitro is gonna Nitro, the kids should have known better.

2 hours of showing Iron Man digging wells in Africa isn’t entertaining.

It’s basically like that recurring criticism of Batman “Why doesn’t he just use his money to make the world a better place instead of putting on a costume and beating up poor people.”

The answer, of course, being that he does both, but the former doesn’t really make for fun storyline by itself, so it’s always a side-plot or passing reference instead of being the main story beat.

You prefer doling your own out on internet forums?

… because they build outreach centers?

It must really bug you to see so many people being happy while you stay depressed and despondent.

The second movie is literally him telling the government to shove it.
