A society where everything is automated but you still have to go to work and only have 3 days off a year is not idyllic.

I actually really loved this episode.

So, he actually wasn’t written as a host, and like the day before they shot the season 2 finale, the writers came up with it and decided they liked it, so they wrote the dialogue in, according to Liam. I don’t like the choice. It means that nothing that happened to Stubbs before that point makes sense. When I rewatch…

Yeah, I’ve never understood why he’s important at all.

Do you know how hard it was to avoid Spider-man spoilers on the internet for two weeks after it came out?!?

I agree that some movies do play better on a giant screen. I just like having options and don’t like being told my options are “wrong.” Especially when I had Covid.

Actually there was a time when theater tickets were far more reasonable. Not super cheap, but if you were vaguely middle class, or had middle class parents, you could go once in a while. But not in our lifetimes. My grandparents used to take the bus into the city to see a show and it was feasible.

Sometimes I’m not at my computer OR a TV or in a movie theater and I still want to watch a movie. But it’s usually not for the first time. I would watch the fuck out of Winter Soldier on a phone if I was stuck somewhere.

Too comfortable? What was I supposed to do, push the voting booth touch screen even harder?

Right. It’s almost as if we should have some kind of consistency between states and the federal government so people can keep it straight.

There is every possibility that her provider was legally obligated to tell her and just didn’t think of it. And marijuana laws in the United States have gotten confusing as hell. Can you fly from Denver to California with weed in your pocket? Hell, I’m not even sure. I honestly don’t blame her for being all that…

Many people I know who have a lot of children do so because the Bible says “be fruitful and multiply.” Of course, the Bible said that when 20,000 people was like, a massive city of people. When a plague or famine could kill a third of the people in the area it affects. Not super relevant to our massive overpopulated…

All of the above people assaulted adults (or very very close to adult, I know that doesn’t mean adult but in society it basically does) women. Kevin Spacey raped 14-year-old boys. That’s a year away from the cut off age for pedophilia (13). That has a very different connotation in our culture.

“Is it me or were Nakia and Zoe a little flirty?”

If I ever call in a live shooter, maybe I should say that the shooter is a “black teenager minding his own business” so I get a good police response.

That he hasn’t kept a lot of his campaign promises or gotten rid of the fillibuster hasn’t helped.

Yeah, the importance of Caleb has always been something that the show has always told us about rather than shown us evidence of. He’s really just another guy.

Oh, Tumblr loves Everett Ross. As does AO3.

A LOT of people went missing during Partition, particularly women - and they didn’t leave voluntarily and nothing great happened to them. “So-and-so went for a bucket of water from the well in the refugee camp and we never saw her again” is a pretty standard story. But different families will deal with that trauma…

Wow she did succeed in finding just the weirdest picture of him.
