Weird that this isn't under racism, right?

An interesting aside..... calling something like Muslim or Judaism racism is, itself, kind of racist. By projecting racial characteristics onto a religious group. Not all practitioners of either religion are one race.
The term for what you want is often just called "religious intolerance." But as religion is voluntary and race is not, they are unrelated concepts.
Yes, religious intolerance is the exact term, and racism is included with it. The crusades were both religiously intolerant and racist at the same time.

It is not. They are totally different concepts, as I explained why. You can't lump involuntary groups with voluntary societies. SO different, obviously. Would be insane to even suggest otherwise.

So stop avoiding the point. WHY do you feel that I am anti-Muslim?
-
Which, I have to say, is really weird to call me of all people, because as a deist I see all of that religious group as one Christians, Muslims, Judaism... it's all one group.

You said you condoned the war on terrorism. Which is known to be a war against Muslims of the middle east.
By condoning a war against an entire race of people (middle east) based on your religious intolerance, you are not only racist but also religious intolerant.

I get that. I don't disagree. But where did I condone it?
-
I just read everything that I wrote to look for something that I mistyped. And there is clearly nothing you could possibly construe as having supported the war, being angry with any racial group or religious group. So no clue where you made that up, but not even a typing mistake made that a possibility.
-
Unless you are trying to claim that simply because of my racial or national membership that I must be a racist because you see all Americans as racist and therefore I'm racist by birth. That's the only thing I can guess you mean?
Which makes no sense, to say that millions of American Muslims are anti-Muslim and therefore auto-racists against themselves?
-
Anything? These are big claims to make but providing no suggestion of why you feel this to be the case. What have I ever said to suggest in the slightest way that I was not completely anti-war in this context?

Netflix cancels Travelers, proving that our timeline has been abandoned
Season 3 wrapped up neatly but still left the door open to new stories.
Time-travel drama Travelers has been one of my favorite streaming shows of recent years. It followed a group of time travelers sent from hundreds of years in the future to try to avert multiple catastrophes that left the world ravaged by war and environmental disaster, with humanity eking out its survival in a handful of biodomes. The first two seasons were produced by Showcase in Canada and streamed by Netflix. The third, released last December, was a Netflix exclusive.

I'm waiting for that Zac Efron -Ted Bundy movie that's going to Netflix.

I loved that show.

Does Netflix have a standard when it comes to how many episodes or seasons before canceling them?

Not that I can tell. Seems to be show dependent.
-
Fuller House was just renewed for the fifth season. But that is their last one.
-
House of Cards was 5 or 6 season before it got cancelled.
-
Depending on how many episodes per season, maybe 5 or 6 seasons is good.
