That’s were your having trouble. You’ve decided it’s a simulation period, when the whole whole point of the episode is for you to ask yourself what if it’s not and what are the moral/ethical implications inherit in that. It’s okay if you weren’to ready to have that thought/conversation but that is literally the whole…

I gave you an example of a real life white person this would aptly apply to instead if the fake straw man scenario you’ve created in your mind. If you want to continue having a discussion with yourself instead of reading my reply and staying on task go ahead, but don’t bother to continue to reply to me with sililoquy…

Was he aware they were self-aware?

Season 1 AND 2 only had 3 episodes, and both still contain the best episodes to date. This happens a lot with international TV, I am regularly impressed by their ability to accomplish excellent television in 1/3rd the amount of episodes it would take than some of the average shows made here. But I agree more of it…

You are too myopic to see that we are looking beyond him as an individual, because unlike you we are not obsessed with his more than obvious guilt. There are wider implications about the court/judicial process that are occurring given his mental health history and these are applicable beyond race, just look at what…

ETA: The lawyer referris to a hearing held which determined his fitness, but unless that included testimony from a psych after a rigorous eval im still concerned they didn’t do any testing and are just happy they will be they avoided a trial right up until he assaults\kill someone in prison.

I promise you I am not one of those “the books are always better people”, but reading the books would help a lot. The chapters are character driven with details and appropriate development so names are easier to recall because they have more substance. There is also a family name list in the back of the books complete…

Yep I follow a Journalist on Twitter, Arellano, who made an enemy if his local school board when he wrote several articles about the history of the towns founders/administration and their well known connections to the local KKK starting with the person one of the schools were named after. 

Stallone doesn’t buy you suspension of belief, it gets you assess in seats that are expecting on-brand material. No one old or mature enough believes these are “real” situations represent ing real people, we are truly lost if you think that’s the case. Any actress with a good trailer and decent costars will be enough.…

It ‘s an action movie not a biography the whole industry hinges on suspension of belief. Despite internet “well actually” pendants, Hollywood nor people who just came for splosions really care. I watched the film more times than I care to admit in the 90's and couldn’t even tell you what Stallone’s character 's name…

They mean the esteemed Rene Russo who played Thor’s mother 😉

I think the main issue is that the fight for voting rights in general have been divided amongst several organizations like ACLU, NAACP etc. I am excited about what Abrams is doing with Fight Fair Action group. You’re right there has to be some pro activeness present to counter these attempts at disenfranchisement. A na…

There is a period of time between contemplation and action, and removing those elements has been shown time again to increase that time period which can allow for intervention. People often change their mind in that short period and it’s not that the thoughts go away, but just in that short period not having certain…

I’ve only seen the movie a few times sometime ago, but I’ve read a lot of articles and comments from people who enjoy the manga. One of the things they always mention is the way Japanese post-war culture/ideals are the basis for the story. The fact that they are changing the character dynamics and story to this degree…

He was thiiiiiiis close to directly quoting the red dot\white feather line from Jay z but decided to go with the just as ignorant food metaphor.

Exactly. I am very much tired of this. Has a black person done it? Then it’s something that black people do, fin. I understand there are nuances but I find some really ridiculous biases start oozing out when you push back with Socratic reasoning. That’s when the “I am a speshul black person” and the faux incredulous…

I don’t know about Cho’s ability to perform what will be likely be pretty demanding martial arts/stunts, but I definitely think he has the acting chops/disposition to do a great job. Plus looking at Alex Garcia Lopez’s resume, they had me after seeing he directed episodes of Misfits and Utopia. Having the original…

I enjoyed Horns. Made to about half way in The Fireman, I’ll get back to it at some point. I will say the beginning of the book is some great writing.

I definitely want to check out Locke and Key. I loved Horns and it is my favorite so far. I started to read The Fireman, NOS4A2 and Heart Shaped Box, but for whatever reason I lost interest in finishing them and never picked them back up. The Fireman definitely was the strongest of those three.

I’ve already seen an article title describing the fight as “brutal” as though it was some kind of underground child assassin classroom so we’ll see.
