I have the hope that it will be improved and expanded upon going forward, as well as the possibility of mods.

I get that most planets don't have to be interesting, but if the planet isn't going to be interesting, fucking just tell me that instead of putting a hundred "points of interest" on it. The fact that every planet has a bunch of random pirate bases on it and a dozen random caves with nothing in them is just ...ugh. If it only put markers on things that were actually interesting, that would be a huge step in the right direction.

The geek/nerd distinction.

A moose just stood there being a moose. Moose are terrifying.

Wow I'm glad they had that little addendum after the headline telling me this happened in Alabama, I was worried that it might be my local Alabama radio station.

How would that law work? Unless you're setting the price as a matter of law, how could you ever prove that a price rise was because of the tax and not "other economic factors"?

If you can see their eyes, they can see your eyes. But it's possible you can see some of them without them being able to see you, or the other way around. Unless your eyes are the only part of you (because you're a camera), you need more information in order to know they can't see you.

How would you implement that? Like, how do you propose to impose a tax on the company that they can't just pass along to the customer?

Hey, just because companies always choose (and get away with) "make more money by cutting costs" instead of "attract more customers with lower prices" doesn't mean they have to ...right?

Also, for a business other than Disney, licensing fees for the content they show can be a pretty large cost that needs a lot of subscribers to offset.

By making up more costs.

More seriously, by evaluating what you could be making by letting someone else run the streaming service and pay you for the rights, instead. It's still a pretty imaginary number, but it does come from something real.

What are you and Dianey doing to children?

Spelling bees can be fun, and trivia can be boring. It's all a matter of how they run it.
