I recognize the bottom two, but not the top one. Those uniforms look like The Orville but I don't recognize that character at all. But I also never watched S3 and it's been since they aired (5 years?) that I watched the first two seasons of that show.

Edit: Looks like I missed the comment saying who the top character is, which is from S3 of The Orville, so I guess I am out of the loop on this one.

He's off a bit there. They stopped the show with the end of Book 6, right before the time jump for Book 7. So they didn't make the final 3 books into the show. There's hints and foreshadowing for them.

Also the books don't directly correlate with seasons until Season 4.

  • Book 1: Season 1 and first half of Season 2
  • Book 2: Second half of Season 2 and first half of Season 3
  • Book 3: Shortened and only the second half of Season 3.
  • Book 4: Season 4
  • Book 5: Season 5
  • Book 6: Season 6 (but only 6 long episodes)

People also have survivorship bias with these things. Sure your refrigerator might have lasted forever but quite a few others did not. There is a reason why appliance repair places existed and were much more common than today.

You were supposed to hate Admiral Cain. She was a military dictator and, more important, a mirror to the path Adama considered in the mini-series.

The Pegasus arc was so fucking good.

The premise of your argument is so weak, a stiff breeze will knock you out before I raise a hand.

I was once at a party a few years ago and, at the time, I think at the time my wife was making around 10k more than me. Some of the people there were her coworkers and their friends, all women. And they knew about me making less because we are always open about our wages.

One of the friends of her coworkers grilled me for like an hour on how I felt about that and all of them pretty much refused to believe me that I was happy with my wife making more money than me. They were mostly just not believing that I wasn't resentful at all, because they had all made more money than their SOs at one point or another and it had always led to fights apparently. I, of course, told them I would love to make more money at my job but it wasn't anything to do with my wife's career or compensation. I also told them she (and all of them) should make more money too.

Shit, I wish my wife made double or triple what I make. She enjoys her job so if she made a lot more doing it, it would be a win-win. My job, I can take or leave, so all I really care about is the pay/benefits. And at the end of the day, our paychecks go into the same accounts (excepting our retirements are separate), so her making more money is just us making more money.

It is not inherently anti-efficiency or anyi-progress. It is pointing out how those things have been corrupted by those in charge. In a more perfect world, Janet and Bob just work less hours due to the software while retaining their pay.

I use Firefox with uBlock Origin on my phone and it was a normal read for me.
