That's true of any defense, but if the number is high enough then the attack is prohibitive. That's generally also why the high value targets like Carriers are sitting in the center of a web of ships that are all networked together.

The US Navy has lasers on their ships that could pretty effortlessly shoot down slow fragile drones

"I live 40 minutes away from work and only budget 20 minutes to get there, wtf this city is a mess and I demand they fix my commute"

I don't understand the point of Fentanyl. Maybe it's my innocent lamb DARE propaganda conditioning but is there any upside to using it? It seems like the only point of Fentanyl is to trick people into thinking it's heroin or something and then it kills them. Is it even possible to use Fentanyl safely?

A few of the episodes seemed like direct R&M episode remakes, like the love potion one. I still like this though because it's more aggressively political vs the Rick and Morty "everything is stupid" nihilism

I thought the way they resolved the finale was predictable but it still hit like a ton of bricks anyway. I think it's good writing when you figure out a twist and it still affects you regardless

Those are almost always bots trying to get you to an unmoderated platform so they can sell you things

I think you're supposed to say something like I'm not wearing any pajamas so they can respond with something like "neither will I!!!"

Yeah I mean of course we're all speculating. I just disagree that the mimics don't know they're mimics. I think they know exactly what they are and just know exactly how to fake being human.

There's actually a great example of what you're talking about in the Dune books though. The Tleilaxu invent perfect Face Dancers that completely replicate their target and then the mimicry is so perfect that the copy believes it's the original and they lose control of them

It doesn't, because that's not what the thing is doing.

The thing has access to the host's memories and instincts and uses them to perfectly imitate the host. I disagree that it's building a functional simulation of the host's consciousness to do that

I don't think that's what's going on. I think The Thing is perfectly emulating the person, if you were assimilated then you are dead and your consciousness is gone.

I think the characters are just wrong when they say that, or they're imperfectly trying to describe how good the mimcry is
