After all, aren’t our personalities and emotions based on accumulated memories?

I thought the show made it clear that Hex Vision didn’t transfer his memories, he just unlocked White Vision’s memories which were being supressed. That would include everything up until the moment he was killed by Thanos.

Can you just imagine how many of these conversations happen unrecorded?

I don’t like how all these apology statements talk about how the person may have “hurt” other people and other communities. When minorities are angry, we are not angry because we are victims, like we are weak people to are slighted by the smallest breeze. We are angry because you disrespected us. You signaled that you…

Yeah, agree on the general sentiment that Monica was underused by the show, especially in the last three episodes, and especially in the finale. But *hard* disagree about the intensity of this problem. The show didn’t “do her dirty”. That is gross, ridiculous hyperbole.

Given WandaVision’s time constraints, it wouldn’t have made much sense for the show to feature an all-out series of hero moments for Monica in the finale, which was all about Wanda finally becoming the MCU’s Scarlet Witch,

You know what?

Nah, the show did what it needed to do with Monica: allow her to steal the scenes she was in so that audiences would clamor for more of her in future MCU properties. And it did that. This was her backdoor pilot, not her starring role.

“dig out your Bible!”

The key words here are “law and economics.” If you’re familiar with the scholarship in that field, this is not really surprising.

They are, where they are, purely on the accident of birth, previously high infant mortality rate, and that they’re not Catholic. Being Catholic was a civil war inducing problem back in the day. In 1714 when Queen Anne died with no heirs to live past childhood, a previous act of Parliament stated that succession would…

The stuff about Archie was awful, but I got a visceral shiver when she said her passport, dl licence, credit cards, and keys were taken away from her when she married. That's Saudi level. Why? 

Is the idea “let’s make some Star Trek that actually feels like Star Trek”?

That is a remarkably stupid idea.

What the fuck?

What gets me when I hear stuff like the headline is that I assume this choad must have done something so overtly heinous, like trying to grope a ten year old in front of cameras on the Capitol steps, that they HAVE to respond—and it’s always simply another incident like the ones he’s been piling up for the last decade…

Ah, the old “your loan application was denied” ruse. I had that happen to me once, except the application was never submitted and it was a lie to try to ram me into a loan with a bigger down payment, a much higher rate, and I am sure a bigger finance reserve to the dealer. Their mistake was not realizing that in a…

These people are so evil.

The researchers note that their findings might play into preconceived notions of cats being selfish and less expressive than dogs. But they also point out that cat owners are less likely to agree with those stereotypes.

“We consider that cats might not possess the same social evaluation abilities as dogs, at least in this situation, because unlike the latter, they have not been selected to cooperate with humans,...”
