It’s updated a bit and looks great! Worth watching.

I think that this is making fun of the people who were upset at Ariel being black in the remake. The people this is making fun of don’t care about recasting race until it’s done from a white character to a black one. It’s pointing out hypocrisy.

Isn’t that the status quo? I guess it’s not really fathers to daughters, but most women I know went through some amount of “here’s how to be a good wife” lessons from their mothers or family. I think women get a lot of “traditional gender roles” training that’s mostly about being caretakers.

Usually people putting forth this kinda “women should learn how to care for their man” attitude are coming from a conservative “traditional family values” position.

Really, we should be teaching people how to ask about and learn the needs of their partner, and how to determine your own needs and communicate those to your partner. Basic emotional intelligence stuff. It doesn’t have to be gendered at all.

Reno is an awesome town now, you should check it out.

Honestly, and what a good episode!

How does Valve prevent you from controlling your own device? Their version of Linux isn’t locked down, you can fully customize it like any Linux afaik.

This is a really well written and clear story. I don’t know if I’ve ever heard of that approach - to not just shut down and ignore that voice but to actually face it and almost collaborate with it. Thank you for sharing, it gives me some things to think about.

I’ve never found similar artists to be helpful. Most of the time it’s just a worse version of the thing I like. I don’t really like stuff that sounds very samey though.

Do you have an example of cynicism in the show? I guess the Ceritos being a lower class ship gives some of the characters a bit of a chip on their shoulder and they talk a lot of crap about command, but the characters themselves still have a pretty positive outlook overall.

I really enjoyed your post! Thanks!

But now instead you just have no options when the batteries die, which in my experience has never broken 2 years.

Black Mirror is just so unrelentingly cynical about human nature. I watched the one with the lady whose memory is removed and “normal” people delight in following her and recording her, and it’s all a big production to punish this women for doing a pretty fucked up thing.

Every episode seems to just say “aren’t human beings the worst?” The sci fi is interesting sometimes, but I can’t really go through life believing that humans would behave like they do in that show.
