"In this scene, the author purposefully included symbolizism of ..."
Excuse me, the author has said the opposite.
"It doesn't symbolize that?"
No, no, the "purposefully" part.

The "aughts" killed the linguistic pattern (nobody wants to refer to the decade that way).
Social media and terrorism killed the fashion trends (standing out punished instead of rewarded, etc).

The running joke about Democrats is that they lose more than they should.
When that's the starting point of criticism... criticism doesn't fix the problem. It just makes the problem worse.

I'm pretty pessimistic and I've spent a lot of time retraining my brain so that finished anything is a "success". So "tell me about a time that a launch was a failure" is just...
We launched. That's a success.
I understand what they _mean_, and I can _get_ there... but not in an interview setting.

"... Hmm. How would one femme 'Og' as a name and keep the rhythm of the joke? 'Oggette' doesn't really flow... maybe if we change the vowel?"
"Egg."
".... No."

The best reason I've seen to use tariffs is if it's vital that some production remain in your home country for security purposes (not being 100% dependent on others for food, for example).
Trump took this to its idiotic extreme of "wouldn't it be better if we made everything."

A lot of this comes down to Democratic strategists looking at what works for Republicans.
"Republicans fall in line." is a saying for a reason- an extended primary gives them time to realize who their frontrunner is going to be and time to justify why they're enthusiastic.
Democrats don't do that.

It was a thing- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comic_s... because they wanted to be able to continue publishing the strip after the author died. Creators Syndicate's creation in 1987 seems the big turning point.

They're both "you erased the story" in a very vague sense, but in the undid section it erases the _character growth_ and the emotional connotations related to it while trying to keep the trappings thereof, which... doesn't really work.
Retcon is a straight "that didn't happen"

Retcon: "Wandavision never happened, we're ignoring it and starting Wanda's story over again."
Undid: "Remember all that character growth that happened in Wandavision? Well, turns out she's decided the best way forward is being a multidimensional souleater."

I refuse to be maddest at leftists because that's the same trap they fall into where they're madder at us than the Republicans.
... this does mean I keep having to reexamine how mad I am at things and adjust in directions, though.

Seatac also does this. It's delightful.

Until it's front page on Fox News or it actually hits food prices it's not going to move the needle. Fox News removed the stock ticker overlay.

I mean, it is literally an organization and syste. devoted to presenting hpw magnificent she is to the world. I don't honestly see this being a _super_ hard sell.

Anybody actually out in the streets protesting, I will absolutely accept their concerns that more things aren't happening. But if you are only taking safe and legal protest options until an actual turning point is reached, it is not a shock that others are doing the same because of the same reasons.

No mention of it being because of being psychically sensitive- mostly just as a meditative / restraint thing.

He's the least objectionable member of Trump's cabinet and even if they did vote down the Republicans had the votes to succeed.
Performative politics should not be celebrated on either side.

Democrats want to build systems. That's easy to obstruct.
Republicans want to tear down systems. That's hard to obstruct.

My grandparents had hoarding tendencies from the Great Depression for the remainder of their lives. After covid a lot of their behaviors made a lot more sense.

Other news articles claim that with the votes in the chamber it would have passed, but the republicans managed a better scramble to get people in on time.

It is an alien concept to me that there is a significant number of people that are actively opposed to learning new things, but it is becoming clearer and clearer that it is going to be one of the defining problems of our time.
Once you stop being curious, you can convince yourself of anything.

This is mostly just them confirming "there is a government database we use to supply official names in that country, when that gets updated, it updates here too."
It's long been their standard to show a country's official take on maps inside that country. As crappy as that is.

The relevant part of the crash was that the weights were released publicly. So not only is it a demonstration that training can be cheap... anybody can have a copy of it so they can skip a big chunk of their training.

We don't need to random, we can just count. Eventually we will get to the number that, when parsed as a string, is shakespeare.
Infinity is weird.

Which, like, isn't optimal, but... I feel like complaining about people taking too long to internally process that they're changing labels to belong to a different group hits a little too close to home for me.

I have "Republican" friends who aren't Republican any more and just haven't been willing to admit it.
Like they agree with all of my political views, they won't vote or support Trump, they're voting blue in protest of Trump... they just can't quite make the step of changing their label.

Biden failed to stop something that Trump is going to accelerate.
Just because both options lead to deaths happening does not make them the same.
Harm reduction matters.

The trick is to corrupt yourself in an orthogonal direction from the corruption you don't want, to the point where you respond "why would i want that?" when opportunities come up.

The biggest problem the MCU post Endgame had is that they're trying to do "Okay, we can branch out into different media and genres now that we hit our big thing" and "You still need to watch everything we make" at the same time.
Don't judge targeted stories by blockbuster standards.

If Hyrule Warriors is in canon for this story, "tinkering with powers she shouldn't because she thinks she can do so safely" is entirely a weakness Zelda has. I'm not convinced she makes it.

My second kid at one point went into their room, turned off the lights, and tucked themselves in for a nap without any communication.
It was _such_ a different world than our first.

Ah, but would Grace set up a transformation booby trap such that Tedd accidentally triggered it onto a third person that she knew would be okay with it as a way of getting him to relax and be more playful?

"Pff, what, you want me to throw you a party or something?"
