To your first point, they actually do consider it and make a failed effort to get the date changed. But your other points are spot-on. It’s a great example of how Lucas’ story is just being used as a plot device (he’s on the team to be present to stymie the hunt for Eddie).

Oh, this ship sailed long ago for me from episode one where Lucas was allowed to be over at some white kid’s house playing D&D until well after dark (never mind in Indiana), with all that implies - most prominently that he, a black child, would have to ride his bike at night through a rural community.

Then the whole…

not even slightly. I promise my first thought my brain coughed up when I encountered the name “Kate Bush” was “one of the Bush daughters?” which obviously I flashburned immediately but my brain had no second guess. “end of search results.”

I swear I don’t remember this song AT. ALL. I feel like I slipped timelines or something. Nor do I remember her. Her nostalgia exchange rate is pegged at 0.000 memberberries.

Thanks, their responses make sense through that lens. I guess I should have known better, so I blame myself lol.

I don’t need anything like that lol.

You lamented you’ve been labeled this way or that way and asked a question after framing yourself a Democrat ostracized by ‘liberals’.

I simply sought to answer your question and continued with you as the example (because you offered yourself as such). I was explaining to you that…

? I didn’t say you were a nazi. I have no idea why someone called you that because you never answered my question. What I said was maybe they were right to call you that depending on what your position was.

I don’t think anyone except partisans disagree that political belief is a spectrum but we have a two-party system, realistically, so you have to figure out which of the two most aligns with your values in any scenario, and vote accordingly. Which doesn’t insulate you from being challenged on those beliefs and while…

Do you make this same lamentation about the right? Because you kind of went full “the evil libs” there and maybe you didn’t realize it. I’d be interested knowing the position you espoused that specifically got you called a MAGA nazi.

I liked it, they leaned into it, and actually did the 90s subversion where she was ready to do ketamine not to party but to escape mental torture.

Allow me. Here are the people inflicting her on you:

Some years back, I made a habit of bringing up that prior to 9/11 we were under siege by domestic terrorism in the form of anti-government and anti-abortion extremists committing acts of terrorism both bombing and shooting citizens.  That event caused some sort of shift for a brief time but seems like we’re steadily…

allow me:

I can’t properly process your complaint without some example of a storyline you’d have like to have seen or a cultural trend you’d have been interested in the show exploring. Do have one you can share?

I told someone in a convo that no one promised us we would live in good times and it seems to me that this world is sliding into some sort of fascist cycle. Regression not only seems inevitable, it appears imminent. We’ll fight the good fight, it will happen anyway, and the resist until a cycle of progression becomes…

Maybe I missed the part where his legal advisors told him he couldn’t use his executive powers to deliver on his student debt promise. Did I miss that part? Because I feel like his refusal to fulfill that promise, that he has power to deliver on, and not just for the victims of for-profit scam universities, may have…

As someone who scoffs at NFTs, I found the video useful and informative. He at least attempts an objective and clear argument. I’m ultimately unconvinced in the viability of static image ownership but maybe there is something to be said for render and more complex art especially for licensing purposes as he noted for…

Sorry for the late reply. I think for Layla, even seeing the ritual wouldn’t convince her of the validity of Harrow as a judge/executioner.
His judgement ritual is clearly not bullshit in-universe but I think you must mean the same argument made by Mark, that Ammit/Harrow have no right to passing such judgement much…

I agree. I was surprised when he just killed the guy because I saw that moment as an opportunity to show how committed he was to being this arbiter of judgment, at once both empathetic and merciless. It was an opportunity for some closeup work for Ethan, but we get this quick cut to a half-shadowed scene so we have…

I wonder how much the original concept of the show remains that would have still allowed for something like that, as it suggests altered perception, which underpins some of the current theories.
