My personal experience also matches this take.
I can enjoy media related to my favorite IPs that are objectively mediocre or even bad in various ways, as long as the IP itself is treated well by the media.

Ring Fit Adventure for the Switch was the next big thing, I think. It was very hard to acquire for quite some time. Being released right before 2020 probably helped a lot with its continued popularity, but I think I remember it getting a lot of attention when in launched in late 2019.

Moreover, life imprisonment lets us pretend that we'll fix the false positives later on, even though I see little evidence we actually will.
Basically for this reason. You can let an innocent out of prison, you can't bring them back to life.

By "right wing" do you mean conservative? If so, the whole thing about conservatism is being wary/pessimistic about new things.
If by "right wing" you mean "small government/pro business", then I'm not sure I see that group as being particularly against new technology.

Running plates at parking lots to find someone with a suspended license and then arresting them
I don't see the problem with arresting someone for driving with a suspended license. Is there something else to this that bothers you?

You've probably tried it, but how about The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan? I recommend this because I like it, and I also liked Malazan, The Black Company, Mother of Learning, and the Magician series, so it's possible that you might also like the series.

Have audiences become so fatigued by underdog stories that they will pay to see the Bad News Bears lose to the Yankees?
About a month ago, I re-watched Top Gun. One of the subplots in the movie is the pilots of the Top Gun program competing to be the best pilot. The protagonist, Maverick, was his commanding officer's second choice to be sent to the program. When he gets there we are introduced to Iceman, the clear favorite to win the prize. Maverick is the clear underdog here.
Maverick does not win, and in fact nearly drops out of the program altogether.
So, yeah, a good story is a good story, regardless of whether the underdog wins in the end.

It probably depends on your color theme. In the default light(?) theme, I think it colors new comments with this grey background (that doesn't go well with black text).

What would happen to all the meat animals if we stopped eating them? I'm not a biologist, but I'm pretty sure prey animals (like pretty much everything humans eat) either get eaten by something, or overpopulate and regularly starve to death.
Like, do we release all the cows into the wild, and then import a lot of predators to keep them in check? I just don't think that's necessarily a better life than humane ranching. Is the idea that we just stop letting them breed until they go extinct (which doesn't seem cool to me, but some ethical systems do prioritize "lack of suffering" over "some suffering, but life").

There's a motte logo? Is it the weird liquid metal-esque image at the top of this site?
I mean, the dwarves responded by sewing his mouth shut, so...?
