  • Even the wrong non-isp routers are ridiculous compared to OpenWrt capable ones. You’re telling me I’m paying a huge premium to get a cutting edge Nighthawk, and then they shove a subscription service in my face to use any of these features? Let alone the security implications of having all your traffic routed through proprietary software. No thank you.

    Yeah but that falls firmly into the second camp of my argument. Maybe I didn’t make it super clear but I don’t think spoilers for the Matrix are a thing we should be complaining about, same for things like Star Wars and that applies doubly so to classic literature like Romeo and Juliet.

    But it’s not logical to discredit somebody’s feelings for something like, and just throwing a random movie out there, Eight Below. It’s not a household title and there’s a copious amount of media out there to sift through, enough for you to be able to dedicate your life to movie watching and still not even scratch the surface.

    And some people really care about their spoilers. It doesn’t really bother me, but I’ll defend those that it does; Especially when the typical argument discrediting their emotions is one grounded by emotion and not fact.

    The age of something has no correlation to whether or not spoiling it for someone is valid. There’s youth being born today that obviously don’t have enough lived experience to watch every popular movie known to man. Even for an older audience, you’d have to dedicate all of your spare time watching movies just to keep up with the bare minimum of pop culture references.

    I’d argue instead that the Matrix is so widely known and referred to that it’s akin to Star Wars; Someone, somewhere is going to ruin it for you eventually and we can’t stifle our own cultural spread by limiting what we make reference to.
