Ain’t nobody told you to hurt me like that… Right in the feels man…

Things that lay the groundwork for future things are often surpassed by what they inspire (shrug)

Just watched it last week for the first time actually. Pretty good overall 👍

I’ve been thinking it’s just a rebranding of the idea of karma, which is old as dirt. “The Law of Attraction” is just the way I’ve seen it discussed online in its most recent manifestation (pun intended)

To all the people downvoting: “Law of Attraction” is not a lay person’s way of saying “Law of Gravity”.

It’s the belief online that “if I give off good vibes, good vibes will be attracted back to me. You know, because everything is, like, made up of vibrating strings, and stuff” (that last bit is just the connection to String theory OP mentioned)

OP is not endorsing these beliefs, just observing them.

Ah, I didn’t realize it was your own post. Extra thanks for sharing then. I imagine it could be rather nerve-wracking.

Honestly, not sure if I find this wholesome so much as a little sad. But not sad in a tearful way, or in a “aw, poor thing” way. More… The way a rainy day can be sad? Or how nostalgia feels, even though they’re not being nostalgic? It feels very raw, regardless, maybe even a little invasive, like getting a short glimpse into a person’s soul, and a person who has not had an easy life, at that… I’m glad I read it though, so thanks for sharing

Couple things.

1. I don’t think that the whites-in-blacks worked as servants when there wasn’t an active target on premises. They just wanted to stay around (since they live there, and want to be around family), but needed a reason to be there. The other white-in-black was just a regular dude, right? Until he got flashed?
2. I don’t think they were racist in the sense of “black people are inferior”, but more “black people are exotic”. Post full-on-racism there has been a rising objectification of black people, in the vein of “once you go black, you never go back” that is dehumanizing of black people in a subtler way than southern belle racism.

We’d probably end up with a situation where wild deer don’t have the gene and city deer do, excepting any cross-breeding.

Ah, missed that. Yeah, I see where you’re coming from.

I feel a little bad for such a short response, but fair enough. Good points all around.

Sorry, American here. Did WW3 start and I missed it? Is it Ukraine/Russia? Israel/Palestine? Horrible though they are, they seem pretty contained this far, unless something new happened I haven’t seen anything about.

I think that only applies if you can make an argument that the two characters are distinct. Your Mickey/Steamboat Willie example is good because they are distinct (slightly different looks, and different names). Another good example is Sherlock Holmes. There was a big lawsuit where the current rights holders tried to argue that the later works are still under copyright just because Sherlock has emotions, and he didn’t in the earlier stories. I don’t remember how the suit turned out though.

In the context of the article, they’re talking about the fact that news outlets aren’t getting enough ad revenue to sustain themselves, and people don’t really buy classifieds in papers anymore.

Saving this for later, as I want to hear responses as well.

Also, slight spoiler ::: spoiler spoiler Has the most Cox on screen of any Marvel show so far :::

Finished first episode. Starts with some new stuff, then does a quick recap of what happened in Maya’s life through the end of Hawkeye. If you watched that, you can skip it, as I didn’t see anything new. Then, the second half sets up the central conflict for the season.

Some unexpected elements, which you’ll see in the first few minutes. The show might not be a straight up crime drama like I was expecting (but will probably mostly be a crime drama).

Some fun, subtle, stuff in fight scenes involving the fact that Maya has a prosthetic leg.

Secondary characters seem fun so far, especially her cousin, who I hope survives the series (but probably won’t, cause no one is allowed to be happy)

Rating 3.5/5, because recap was slightly boring.

Oh, that released? Dang… I need to get on that…

I think you’re right, but also I think OP was more thinking mass shooters, or maybe serial killers.

Honestly, about the closest you’re able to get is the original anime version for Trigun. Not explicitly Christian, but it seems to handle the themes around it pretty well (self-sacrifice to save others, and salvation even for the worst)
