The character was intended to be a thoughtful conservative, and I thought they did pretty well with that. I'm somewhere to the left of Bernie Sanders, but I don't mind watching intelligently written characters who I disagree with.
Also, I will watch almost anything with Jeff Daniels. He is one of the most versatile actors of our time and he brings depth to every role. His performance is what made "Pleasantville" for me. (I hate Dumb and Dumber, but he added something to it.)
One of the best quotes from "The Newsroom": "I only seem liberal because I believe that hurricanes are caused by high barometric pressure and not gay marriage."
I don't think that is a characteristic of our species. It is not universally true across other cultures.
And studies strongly suggest that the characteristic that was most important to the early survival of humans was altruism. There are always a lot more people who are basically good than basically bad. Only around 4% of the population are sociopathic.
Unfortunately, promoting sociopaths is a built-in characteristic of capitalism. Without controls, it rewards managers who are willing to sacrifice other people for profit (or power). The people who do that the best are those without empathy. So we end up with the worst of us making the decisions about how the world should work.
You're right, but a lot of apps work the same way, and only serve ads to unpaid users. I'm hoping for the best.
If they stick with ads only for unpaid use, I'm okay with that. Software authors need to make a living.
Overall, I'm happy to see Nova Launcher getting support again. I've tried a half-dozen other launchers without finding one that really does everything I want.
I love all these responses, but that one deserves a special shout-out for brilliance. I'm still laughing.
