That’s because in Mandalorian culture, to adopt a foundling is to become that child’s parent. The point of all this was to highlight that Grogu is Mando’s son now. I rewatched the episode last night and Ragnar is repeatedly referred to as a foundling throughout the episode, including a few seconds before Paz says…

I imagine she fried the garlic instead of browning it.

I love this show, but I’ve become increasingly obsessed with how unsustainable the extremist Mandalorian life is. Eating communally is a major bonding exercise in almost every culture ever, yet these guys only ever eat in isolation? Are all the children foundlings, or are they being conceived and born without anyone…

Would anyone watch a show of people talking about what they had for lunch? Regular people need to take a shit occasionally too, but I don’t wanna see it.

I didn’t read it as saying that novelists have it easy - it was more about the fact that the struggle is between you and the work, rather than between you and the work and a large crowd of other people you somehow have to persuade to make the work the way you want it. It’s undeniably a different sort of challenge.

He’s not saying it’s easy to bang out a novel, he’s saying that writing a novel is a creatively solitary process, and unburdened by the practical realities of making a film like budgetary restrictions, scheduling, the orchestration of large crews of people, creative conflict with collaborators, commercial pressures…

...it just may finally be time, in the words of Dwayne Hicks, to call game over, man.

*desperately scrounging for a reason to not be wrong*

Loving the show. If civilization was destroyed by a fungus that decimated the human population, I’m thinking maybe longpig would be the least plentiful foodstuff compared to rampant farm crops with no-one to harvest them and unchecked animal populations. But hey.

Unless I missed it, David wasn’t killing people to eat, he was using the meat of people who passed away to feed his starving people. Given the choice in a Yellowjackets or Alive type situation, I’d definitely eat someone rather than die.

I’m an atheist myself and am naturally suspicious of the motives of any self-declared “man of God”, but really, for the past twenty or thirty years, it would be more of a twist for a preacher in a movie or TV show to actually be a good guy given that the default is that they are a crook and/or a pedophile.

There are plenty of greater De Palma offenders than Black Dahlia, I mean...Raising Cain is also right there.

I miss the 24 episodes that ran from September to May and reruns all summer and the next season started again the next September. Now we get a season of 8-10 episodes and a 2-year wait until the next season unless it gets canceled and then you may get 3-6 seasons max with years in between.

Or just hire a good actress and have her play a different character.  It’s not like anything in Star Wars lore revolves around Cara Dune, there’s no pressing reason to keep the character.

And this day. 

I disagree vociferously. It’s a slide whistle not a kazoo.

From the article:

If a news site, even a shitty one, is going to report something, they need to back it up.

I just want to give you a sanity check, because it seems like people are piling on you as if you were defending the dilbert douche when it seems like you were just criticizing the lack of detail in the reporting?

The full context does not make it any better. He interprets some poll as proof that a majority of Black people have anti-White beliefs, calls them a hate group for it and says White people should stay away from Black people and that that’s why he lives in an area with little to no Black people.
