Shows like that are still happening.

The real issue is that instead of 5-15 channels, there are dozens-hundreds, plus a dozen streaming service, and intellectual property is constantly pinging back and forth between them all.

No media has a reliable "home" you can consistently access it from. And when it does you still run into the discoverability issue. So many shows are made that you can't reasonably scroll through all of them, so personal recommendations and algorithms ultimately dictate what we find.

If you want unusual and stand-out sci-fi then I'd recommend Twin Peaks: The Return, assuming you've seen Twin Peaks.

Also the show "Dark" on Netflix is incredible.

I still have a cue of newer stuff I haven't gotten to because there's so much to try.

I think what we've really lost is the social element. When FAR fewer things were on, and everyone had to "tune in" to see new episodes, it meant a ton more people would be watching the same thing at the same time.

Now the default has become everything on demand, and released in full seasons at a time. "Dark" is actually from several years ago, but became big in the US just a few years ago, and I just found it last year.

The viewing and Fandom experiences are just more fragmented and scattered now.

I absolutely love how unhinged he becomes. The passage of time has only multiplied how dark the bit is too.

Last year stumbled upon a lone Turbo Man doll in a Walmart discount bin, made to look like the box from the movie.

Best impulse purchase of my life.

Yes, but we like to build little make-pretend NYCs and there aren't nearly as many gators

Yes, it's normal to feel like shit about driving past the homeless, that's your humanity working.

We are not faster or stronger than bears, so we evolved to work together as tribes.

Seeing other humans abandoned by your own tribe should make us feel bad.

No, it is not YOUR individual responsibility to assist others beyond your own means. Retiring in the U.S. costs millions of dollars and that may seem far away for some, but time comes for us all and most can't afford to help others with their oxygen mask before putting on our own.

When I drive by someone who needs help, knowing I'm not equipped to help them, I get angry at every politician and lobbyist whose life work is making sure meaningful social programs never get started.

My responsibility is to vote for the most humanitarian candidate possible at every opportunity, and to share my values of "people first" any way I can.

We all struggle, and the struggles of others doesn't disqualify your own. It's healthy to spend your personal resources on your personal problems, and use your social/political power (vote) to address social/political problems.

Props on being a human being.

You do realize that anyone could still pay a higher wage to compete right?

You must be confusing it with maximum wage, which is the opposite and not a thing.

They all have the same hilarious accent. Mutually assured destruction.

Why are they constantly driving like they're after the Dukes of Hazard?

I always respected that they used the whole spaghetti
