    They have a few good jokes here and there, but the overall plot for the majority of the episodes are just so lame. Even all the way up to season 10 things like NFTs crypto, and COVID would have been a one off joke not the entire plot of the episode. The eyePhone episode is subtle compared to how in your face these new seasons are with “current” events. And these new seasons are just fanfare mixed with topical bullshit. “Hey, remember all the characters from the show and their catch phrases? Now watch this episode about NFTs or an episode about the King of Space that feels like it was written for a completely different show.”

    I’ve been falling asleep to Futurama for almost 15 years and I’ve seen every episode dozens of times (I’m literally watching season 3 in the background right now as I procrastinate on sleep). I even watch it when I’m working out. But when it reaches season 11, I just restart the series. Which is a shame because there are some decent episodes in the new seasons. But I’m kind of avoiding them like the plague after I watched half of season 12 and found myself more pissed off than entertained.












  • Without reading, my guess is something convoluted like sending physical mail under a certain weight or sending an email within a certain date that has already passed. Imma go read it really quick and let you know how accurate I was.

    Edit: Apparently you can just do it in the settings. But they will still do it “as necessary for transactions.” Which means they’ll probably still do it and just stretch what “necessary” means as far as they take it. Which is equally as shitty.


  • I’m in the process of this now. I haven’t used Linux in like 15 years so I’m starting slow with my laptop. My goal is to be free from windows on my desktop and laptop before I have to go to Windows 11. I have to use Windows 11 at work and it’s fucking miserable. I can understand some of the changes from a personal usage standpoint, but from a work related one there are so many features that just make productivity worse. I’ve had to change shit in the registry like 7 times just to get some quality of life features that they changed.
