I’m considering buying the blurays, ripping them, and building my own. I just use P+ for Trek and Twin Peaks. Just need the time to do all that...

I’m not at all surprised this topic brought out some unhinged takes.  Honestly why I clicked the story

If you liked the Star Wars prequels, you’ll like Crystal Skull. Otherwise you’ll struggle to suppress the sound of banjo music in the distance

I swear this already came out last year? Or was it announced, then COVID happened, and now they’ve finally gotten around to making and releasing it?

Well, that’s the thing, isn’t it- is there any data that show that these terms’ usages cause URM from entering coding/IT fields?  If not, this is just feel-good warm-and-fuzzies that don’t actually accomplish anything.

that could be a little overwhelming

Men outnumber women as surgeons generally, not just plastic surgery.  Frankly, it’s probably a mix of being a more “action” based discipline (vs. “people” or “care”-based) and the high status it confers, both of which are more attractive to men choosing careers

Why not both?  Both is good

Well I’ve been paying attention enough to notice the things I mentioned, but to my credit I don’t frequent juniors departments anywhere
