    I think the Starfield TV show is going to have difficulties, it'll just be people switching between planets every scene.

    There is almost no difference in r/politics and the other "formerly default" (but still default by means of network effects) subs. It's all the same lunatic that has no idea they'r…

    What? You don't like getting strongly opinionated advice from kids that haven't even gotten their first internship yet? I swear some of the things I've been downvoted for in r/embe…
