I mean, yeah. Young people of both genders are doing really poorly. Some people want to really naval gaze it and throw pity parties about how men are just so put upon and lonely, but so are the gals and theys.

It's just that the boys are being offered a solution of basically a heirarchy-cult (read: fascism) where instead of being shat on like the rest of us, they are—in this narrative—meant to be elevated above us.

It's the same bullshit that got the white poor rednecks voting for billionaire grifters.

I'll definitely give it a go! Been meaning to do another binge anyway. I think the last season I even saw was the one using them drowning as a plot device

Dang, the characters are my favorite part of lost :/

Always sunny is very hit or miss, and I haven't properly enjoyed a season since 2018 I don't think, but the ones that do hit knock out out of the park for me. My spouse and I quote it frequently

I felt the exact same way, you just brought back memories of watching it... The dream sequences stood out as extra pretentious in my mind

Bro season 2 is suuuuuuch a slog. I got into it for the mystery and esoteric horror imagery, and I understand that they were trying to emulate a soap opera for season 2, but it's just so long and uninteresting to me.

It's been such a road block to getting to Firewalk With Me and The Return :/

I remember the exact episode that I noped out of forever with Supernatural: when they brought in Snookie as a cross road demon cameo. Literally stood up and left my mom to watch the rest without me lol. I had already thought it sucked for a while though, yeah. I can tolerate season six okay, but it was definitely a very noticeable quality drop.

....really? I liked steins gate okay for what it was, but to me that's like comparing a fine dining experience to a chain restaurant.

Damn, I'm the complete opposite. The tightly knit and well-thought-out, dense story telling felt very compelling to me. It felt refreshing to see a show that trusted its audience to keep up with it instead of spoon feeding the information to you. Not many shows/movies do that nowadays.

Funny, the Talking Dead was a show that aired after that night's episode every week back in the day. It was actually a highlight for me; they'd have the actors and effects artists in to discuss behind the scenes stuff. It was very fun watching Greg Nicotero talk shop

I got a kobo recently and like it a lot. I got the sage because the screen is about the size of a manga page, which I knew I would be reading a lot of. I keep it in airplane mode most of the time and use Calibre to load it up. The system works well for me

A buttsle

Okay, but maybe specify that next time. The masses won't buy used stuff unless prompted, and a blanket statement of 'it's okay to like Harry Potter' without any nuance attached is just gonna give people permission to feel comfortable buying merch, games, Lego, other branded shit which goes directly to her pocket book.

But it isn't when it comes to Harry Potter. The reason I made the comparison is that JK Rowling is also a billionaire using her wealth to influence legislation against trans people. They are more similar than they are different. Buying Harry Potter stuff puts money directly into her pockets to further her TERF goals.

Michael Jackson is a bit more gray.

Bethesda isn't the one remaking it

Yeah, it makes me physically ill to imagine that for myself.

I feel a bit more sympathy for Grimes than St. Clair since she seemed to actually want to be with this man, as a 'real' family at one point and seems to feel quite desperate about how her son is being manipulated now that that hasn't worked out. Was she being naive? Probably, but none of us can see the future. Much less imagine that someone we love enough to date and have kids with would do something so deranged as hold them hostage as meat shields.

Anyone who volunteers after seeing how he treats his baby mamas and children, though? They get no sympathy from me, personally. Sorry for the kids, tho

Do you know that there's evidence supporting the idea that when you have a baby, that baby's DNA hangs out in your body for decades (if not forever, more studies needed on that point)? I wouldn't want any amount of Elon Musk's DNA just like...hanging out in me forever. Ew.

Source: an excellent book called Matrescence by Lucy Jones. Came out in 2024 and does a great job of compiling lots of the latest research on pregnant bodies. It's amazing how much is still missing and we need to learn still about half the population of the world.

Easy to say when you've got no skin (or uterus) in the game. Just look at how Grimes and St. Clair and their children are being treated. Both women are terrible right wing scum and had it coming, but I wouldn't wish someone's family/babies being manipulated and kept from them by a guy with more money than god on anyone.

Imagine your only recourse for restoring your parental rights being going to court against a guy who can afford to keep the cases going indefinitely. That is the stuff of nightmares.

So it's okay to still like and want to buy a Tesla?

We need to help ourselves.
