Finished watching it the other day and if you’re into scifi, or maybe more science-fantasy, it’s well worth watching! Refreshing to see some new scifi, particularly with a focus on extraterrestrial ecosystems....
The end of season 1 is clearly laying a foundation for a new and weird season 2, I don’t think it would be contrived at all. I’m very eager to see more.
I think that’s very fair. Given their performance in season 1, I think it’s a question raised that they could potentially answer in a way I find satisfying.
Yeah, I think the latter component is what makes this request ludicrous. Everything in Texas is so spread out. It is not a place you can reasonably get around without a car. Mass transit exists, but it’s pretty inefficient in most the cities.
From its towering white steeple and red-brick facade to its Sunday services filled with rousing gospel hymns and evangelistic sermons, First Baptist Church of Alexandria, Virginia, bears many of the classic hallmarks of a Southern Baptist church....
I wouldn’t feel bad using a pejorative for fascists. Neither do I feel bad using a pejorative for other authoritarians. Their disrespect for human dignity, liberty, and worth disqualifies them for protection against such a minor indignity.
Tankies is fine for anyone on the side of the tanks at Tiananmen Square.
Okay, I wasn’t going to respond to any of this, but all the bullshit sources you’re using proves my point exactly.
I wasn’t implying that tankies draw their name from Tiananman. I genuinely don’t give a fuck where it comes from. I was pointing out that they’re actually on the side of the tanks that literally crushed protestors.
If you’re going to quote wikipedia, it’s funny that you suddenly stop using it when it no longer suits you.
No one will argue that the death toll is this or that number, because no one knows.
There is no debate that it is a significant number, that hundreds or even thousands were murdered, and that China has desperately attempted to obfuscate every detail of these events.
The protestors called the soldiers fascists as they were killed. We could quibble over that terminology, but there can be no doubt that they were authoritarians willing to kill in order to suppress the natural desire in humans to be free and self-determining.
If you side with those soldiers then fuck you, tankie trash.
Mowing the yard for my dad as a pre-teen. I was trying to earn some extra cash and so went way above and beyond.
He acknowledged it and did pay a little more than we’d agreed to, but in no way commensurate to the extra work I put in.
I don’t mind working hard or doing extra, but I do it for me now. If interested, passionate, and engaged, then I dig deep and do more. Otherwise it’s the agreed upon work and no more.
This is a far more nuanced problem than I expected. The biggest hurdle seems to be that the best locations that have willing participants are already taken.
Without saying your age, comment down your favorite film(s) that released the year you turned 18.
