  • Is DeleteMe.org real? Looks too good to not be a data stealing scam.

  • Not the kind if thing you can do with an extension.Every broker has their own process. Some even require actual physical letters be sent to remove your data.

  • There are hundreds of those data brokers. And new ones opening as others close every week. Doing it yourself, and keeping up with it on a regular basis? That's nearly a full time job. Nobody does that.

    Jump

  • There are several companies that do this.Even Mozilla did until this month.

    DeleteMe seems not to be the best. They might sell data to places while getting it removed from other places.

    I just signed up with Incogni which is one of the biggest.

  • How long does it take for pirate copy quality to improve?

    Jump

  • They have to get to streaming services.Once there, streaming quality rips are easy to find.You're getting it for free, be patient.

  • I was giving Enterprise another chance, and even Archer was starting to grow on me in season 2. Then season 3 happened and he became a war criminal.

    Jump

  • How many times have you been upset at a male being cast for their appearance? I mentionned before nearly all actors in US media have been cast for their attractiveness.

    Do you rail against the unrealistic body standards of male superheros in comic books, the same way you would women?

    Be honest, nobody does.

  • Sex and gender are two different things. It wouldn't be related.

  • Ok.It's hard to see one's own bias.

  • Literally everything you've mentioned was about her looks, and how they were the basis for her being put on the show. You've mentioned nothing about the characters actions, choices, relationships with other crewmembers, or Jeri Ryan's performance.

  • I was giving Enterprise another chance, and even Archer was starting to grow on me in season 2. Then season 3 happened and he became a war criminal.

    Jump

  • I am not attacking the character because of looks, but because of intention.

    Exactly. Your conflating the character, with its creation. Your calling her bad not for who the character is or who she became, but solely for the process that created her based on looks. You're implying or assuming, a good character couldn't come from a bad process.

    Jump

  • Attacking a character for their character is fine.Attacking produces being driven by sexism is fine.Attacking a character because they were created by sexist producers, is sexist.Attack the creation process, sure. But judge the character on the character.

    You just attacked Harry Kim as a bad character. That's fine. It would be nice if you were more specific, but it's not important.Your critique of 7 have been all about her appearance. (Comming up more substantive criticism of 7 now, would only seem a justification after the fact. I wouldn't recommend it.)

    Another argument is: In US entertainment, nearly everyone is cast largely because of how attractive they are or aren't. Even the "uguly people" in movies, are usually just kind of average looking. Singeling out the "sexy one" for being cast by their appearance is sexist.

    Jump

  • Seeing a character as nothing more than her body is sexist.

    It's sexist to create and cast the character for it.It's sexist to dislike the character for it.

    In both cases you're judging a character/person solely by their appearance.

    Jump

  • You're still judgeing the quality of the story by your morality.It's common for terrible acts to go unpunished. There are lots of movies and shows where the bad guy wins. Many where you can't even tell who the bad guy is. But they're still good stories.

  • What is the best way to link to a podcast episode on the Fediverse?

    Jump

  • Just link directly to the audio file?This seems like too obvious an answer though. Maybe I'm not sure what you're asking.

  • I was giving Enterprise another chance, and even Archer was starting to grow on me in season 2. Then season 3 happened and he became a war criminal.

    Jump

  • The hologram was the only doctor on the show.And the only character actually named The Doctor. Note the capitalization use.

    And thinking the show went bad because a sexy actor was brought on to up the sexiness, is sexist.Unless you didn't like her evolution as a character, or thought she was a bad actor. Those would just be bad takes, not actually sexist.

  • I was giving Enterprise another chance, and even Archer was starting to grow on me in season 2. Then season 3 happened and he became a war criminal.

    Jump

  • You can see how that seems sexist, right?Especially when 7 and The Doctor are debatably tied, for most interesting character on the show.

  • I was giving Enterprise another chance, and even Archer was starting to grow on me in season 2. Then season 3 happened and he became a war criminal.

    Jump

  • I'm not sure what the problem is.Does it make Archer a bad character, or Enterprise a bad show, when he breaks bad for understandable reasons?

  • at what point in life it's too late to go back to school?

    Jump

  • It's got nothing to do with age. As you pointed out there are financial reasons where you might not be able to. But that's realy the only hurdle. And there are plenty of ways to clear it.

  • Why are there so many Christmas songs, yet hardly any New Year's ones?

    Jump

  • Seth MacFarlane (Yes, that Seth MacFarlane) has a pair of Christmas Albums, with classic non-religious Christmas songs.

  • Trump Designates Fentanyl as a Weapon of Mass Destruction

    Jump

  • So I guess that means hospitals cant use it anymore.Sucks for everyone with a major injury.

  • China to build world’s first thorium-powered container vessel by 2035

    Jump

  • It's both.Which isn't a bad thing if you view this as a global society with a global problem to solve.In 500 years it won't matter who gets credit.

    If it does matter to you, you still have 10 years to get it done. So get started.
