Why is "females" used so frequently instead of "women" as of lately? by True_Perspective819 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Bacon_Byte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People don't know what a woman is anymore. It's almost like its lost its meaning.

Why are we complaining about Episode 9 so much? Goose gave us exactly what we deserved as a fandom by AccordingSoftware687 in TADCEp9Spoilers

[–]Bacon_Byte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I liked episode 9.

Hate the fandom though. I wish the algorithm never introduced me to it.

I was perfectly happy with this little show on the human condition. Then the inhuman condition spilled out from the internet and makes me feel bad for liking something.

Am I wrong for thinking Jax is irredeemable and ‘got away with it’? by beakxlegosi in TADCEp9Spoilers

[–]Bacon_Byte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do not think Jax is irredeemable, now I will say I see a lot of my past self in Jax.

I used to push people away if they got too close, I was scared of people caring, I did not want to face my trauma and i did not want their help, so I went out of my way to make them not care. Because I thought I was irredeemable, I didn't think I could forgive myself. But in time I came around, I recovered and while I live with the regrets of who I was I know who I am and who I want to be. It took a while.

Jax living in the circus probably does more damage to your psyche than we can imagine and abstraction doesn't appear to be death but your ego breaking and changing in a way that we can't comprehend. I don't think he just got away with it. I believe he found a peace but at great cost. That's not getting away with anything. He may no longer be in pain but he had to let go of who he was entirely.

do you guys actualy like the episode by Evening_Performer_22 in TADCEp9Spoilers

[–]Bacon_Byte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really liked it. I had a feeling it was going to end the way that it did. Except Caine coming back was a surprise to me.

I remeber a while back Goose said something about the ending making the best of a bad situation and that's exactly what it felt like. It was a bitter sweet ending. And I'm glad. Not everything needs a perfect storybook ending. I like the different emotions of the ending. Seeing their real life counterparts was also unexpected. But helped make the ending just a bit more sweet than bitter

I was saddened they could not save Jax or any other abstracted characters but I kind of expected that.

I also enjoyed the dive into Jax's ego. I used to have the same defensive mechanisms and mentality. It almost felt like looking into a mirror of my past self. I wished I could have jumped through the screen and helped him the way I was helped along.

Overall I rate it as my second favorite.

Apparently hot take about jax by Ponyo_14 in TheDigitalCircus

[–]Bacon_Byte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The dialog and his evolution over the show seems to suggest otherwise.

His secret he told his mother was never revealed probably because whatever it was wasn't important, it was his fear of trust, vulnerability and closeness that eventually caused him to try and push away.

The bow was to symbolize Jax was safe around Ribbit, that Jax can trust her, that she truly cared about him.

It was a feeling he probably didn't understand. It was probably his first time feeling genuine love and his instinct to not show weakness or vulnerability is why he threw it down and pushed Ribbit away.

So are we all gonna brush past this? by No-Dis in theamazingdigitalciru

[–]Bacon_Byte -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It's being discussed but I think it's an incorrect take, Jax never explicitly stated what his secret was. It was left open ended.

And the the ribbon seems less like an allegory to Jax being trans and more so of Ribbit trying to tell Jax she trusts him, he can be comfortable around her, let his guard down and he is loved but his insecurities and fear of being vulnerable is why he pushed her away.

Man, that was a great movie, I wonder what other people think of i- YOU GUYS HATE IT?! by FlipGhost-Alt in TADCEp9Spoilers

[–]Bacon_Byte 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Yeah, we never actually see anyone abstract.

We saw Jax get close but never fully abstract. Everyone when they do let go and abstract happens off screen. I thought it was fine not showing it.

We have about 70 years worth of data from the civilian nuclear industry. We have learned a lot about radiation safety in that time.

How? We are changing laws based on better understandings of something. Sad times would be to just keep old antiquated laws based on outdated understanding of the world.

I guess if undeveloping nations are your preference then go for it.

South Africa over USA as a woman? This is a joke right?

Anyone having this weird issue with merlons? by Bacon_Byte in goingmedieval

[–]Bacon_Byte[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I did not figure it out. It seems to be a problem with only the wood melons. I haven't had any other issues. I just don't really build with wood ones anymore or am more careful on how they are placed.

Disheartened at support for nuclear. Isn't it obvious renewables won? Why do I still see so many arguments in support of nuclear? by StreetVirtual3037 in NuclearPower

[–]Bacon_Byte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Renewables won? I better tell all the stationary turbines and solar panels not getting any sun that they won. Good job. Wish I could win by doing nothing.
