Contrary to my distaste for them, but I wouldn't mind advertisements now and then. By now and then, I mean, like once every other hour or if they're displayed in a way that isn't obstructing. Obviously that is not how they are these days.

I know companies need to still get out there and be known but I do not need to know that much and I don't really care of your business if I have to hear, see and have spoken to me of it at every single turn. I would especially love it, if everything wasn't a paywall to not see any.

Advertisements are just simply a disease.

Founder's Day. That movie fucking sucks. To quote Community "if you conspire with everyone then there's no conspiracy, you're just helping people." Everyone seems to be betraying everyone for no discernable gain, none of the actors seem to be aware that they're in the same genre as their costars, and it's never clear whose side your on. Finally the mastermind of this scheme has what I call "the Palpatine problem." If you're capable of manipulating every side of a conflict in such a way that they all die and you're left in power... aren't you already effectively in control of everything? And isn't it smarter to rule behind the scenes where you don't have a target on your back AND you aren't responsible for a bunch of serious crimes AND is it really important to you to explain your grand plans to a teenager? What do you gain from setting these events in motion? It's a stupid ass movie, and I watch a lot of movies
