What is shown in the show implies that their culture is extremely and deliberately streamlined. They value only strength, duty and order. Mantra is "All is ours" and very important one "He (Argall) gave us stars". This heavily implies that Argall presented himself to all living Viltrumites as the founder of their current society. Nolan explicitly mentioning to the young Viltrumites that they don't erect monuments except for Argall.

However, Viltrumites are very emotional beings. While their culture see emotions as weakness, Nolan is the first one who truly embrace them.

In the comics it is obvious that other remaining Viltrumites embrace them as well when introduced to human partners on Earth. While Thragg is not finding a human partner, even he is having feelings for his Thraxan children.

This brings us to various speculations. Were they emotional society before Argall reformed them into a husk of a society that live just to conquer the galaxy? Because it's obvious, after events on Earth, that their superior generics actually preserved their emotional side.

Correct me if I am wrong but Mark is a direct product of his plan: sending Nolan to find a suitable host planet for revitalising their species. I think in that moment he realised if he kills Mark he would destroy his own plan that was actually successful.

I haven't read the comics but when I saw him in the show on Earth, I got ideas what will happen. I wasn't far off, I learned trough Reddit what is the outcome. That is why I thing Thragg would bot be interesting.

Sa ovim tetovažama, liči mi na NPC-a iz igre Gothic 1 Remake - čuči čitav dan u močvari duva džointe i čeka da se Sleeper probudi

I can not connect Lee Pace with TV Show Thragg's face at all. I can not connect that such person can have such a beautiful smooth voice. Lee is an amazing actor and adore him in Hobbit and Foundation - those are perfect cast for him. For me, Thragg is a miscast. Maybe it would be different if Thragg looked more like Thragg in the comics. In this example, maybe it would work:

But current TV show beefy Thragg... no, just feels off. The one I linked above looks cold, calculated, cruel - I see why someone would chose Lee and he himself claimed he wanted to portray him like that. But beefy Thragg in TV show looks like someone who likes squishy hugs yet forced to play a role of a bad guy.

I haven't read the comics, love the TV show and I expect that they will "humanize" like Nolan but each in a different way.

There are different groups where some look more towards future, some are indifferent while there are those who don't want to move from the past.

I am personally from Serbia and visited most of the Balkans. I live in the EU and having Albanian colleague is a non issue as we have a good cooperation. Have in mind that she is from Albania and not from Kosovo. Many of my colleagues were tourists in Albania as well but I personally don't have reliable info regarding Kosovo. I have heard that Kosovo government is regarding medieval Serbian churches as Byzantine to "clean" itself from anything Serbian - I don't know if that is true. I have also visited Sarandë in Albania and had a nice time there.

For the record: Albania was not part of Yugoslavia, Kosovo was.

When I was in Zagreb, staff over there really wanted to talk to me. I was unsure should I given that at the time, HOS sympathisers gathered on the main square (they were dispersed quickly though). But being in Dubrovnik, I never dropped my English since there is a vivid memory in minds of locals regarding shelling of the city by Serbian and Montenegrin forces which was pointed out by local guides to every foreign tour.

Dude, hey dude... there are alternatives. First of all, Microsoft itself uses Linux for their Azure platform, and that is not a hobby project. Second, what's the difference between having one account controlling 4 different apps vs having 4 accounts for 4 apps with the same password? If one account is fucked you can still use 3 other apps but most probably 2 of those won't need an account on Linux (Office, hello?). There are alternatives to AD - period. Look it up. And finally, this must be changed because Microsoft can fuck you over just because they can: https://www.neowin.net/news/microsoft-bans-libreoffice-developers-account-without-warning-rejects-appeal/

Now if certain European companies and governments are moving away from Microsoft, then obviously, obviously there is a way and it is not a "hobby project " that they are doing. In fact, I have seen professional development companies working just fine on Linux entirely.

About remote - I was on Microsoft's fucking Windows and I had to go to the office to fix this issue! So just by being at Windows and AD doesn't guarantee that you won't need admin to use local admin account. It had to be done that way on Windows! So that shit you are talking about how remote can't be done on Linux - just drop it.

No, never again will I agree with that point of view, never again will I put myself in a box unable to think that there are other option. If you do, that's your choice, and I don't care. But don't preach that shit to others.

It has changed a lot since, but some areas still resist wild construction.
