Maybe. But peaceful transition of power doesn’t require fanfare or even public approval, when the transition is (arguably) to a regime that is only barely skirting the basic parameters of legitimacy and tilting dangerously (in these very, very early days) to something that looks a lot like early-stage fascism. This is…

Zillow, Trulia, and MLS online, my friend. Browse listings online, look at the pictures, save your favorites. Do some online research into the neighborhood, etc. Then drive by ones that you like, go to open houses, narrow it down, and THEN reach out to a realtor to get you inside the ones that you like that require…

Disney always grapples with supply/demand of their consumer products - Infinity’s wrong bets weren’t unusual within the broader scope of the company. They were, however, in the context of a business unit that needed to prove itself on different terms.

It WAS profitable. Very profitable. Just not profitable enough for Disney.

Co-signing this. Much as I would love to erase Trump from the Internet (and everywhere), his presence there is a necessary reminder of how terrible he is. I’d much rather have the monster out in the open where I can see him, than lurking under the bed and making it possible for us to pretend that we don’t really need…

Came to the comments for this. THANK YOU.

My heart goes out to you. Those were hard times for me - I don’t regret them, even a bit, but there was a reason we didn’t go for baby #3.

I had severe post partum anxiety with both my babies and Ativan saved my life. Good for you for taking care of yourself and know this: you’ll get through it.

They have, actually - in the orgy scene, for starters. And in the finale (the scene that got very close to male-on-male-host rape.

This is really all that needs to be said here.

Thanks :)

His change of heart happened when Arnold died. He says this explicitly - that it was Arnold’s death that made him recognize that he’d been wrong. And then he spent 35 years giving the hosts the opportunity (he says that what Arnold missed was that they needed *time*) to cycle to consciousness and realize that they…

Came here to say exactly this - he was pretty clear that his realization occurred when Arnold died (that suffering was the cornerstone of consciousness) and that it would take time (he says this explicitly - that Arnold overlooked the need for time) for the hosts to cycle through enough suffering to achieve…

Yep, this is the most interesting theory, I think. Given his speeches about the hosts inheriting the earth, and it being ‘their’ time, I think it would make more sense for him to become one of them, than to have cheated death by swapping a host for his human self. And there have been nods to the goal of human…

Even as young William he’s like this—Logan giving him grief about being totally forgettable, mechanical, goody goody with no passion rhymes well with him being a zero-empathy violent fuckhead; those are two versions of just sort of being empty inside; that’s what’s so tragic about the maze not being meant for…

same.

I’m mid-forties and you couldn’t pay me to go back. I’d barely gotten started at 30.

Starring out of sympathy. Back issues are THE WORST.

Oh god. UGH. You have ALL my sympathy (and horror shudders.)
