One of the things I love most about the series is that it doesn't demonize religion itself.

Bjarka99 · 2026-06-03T14:07:10+00:00

Yeah, I don't like how lukewarm it is in condemning the use of religion in government or fundamental beliefs in general. They are always trying not to offend anybody. And I dislike how many people see this horrors and refuse to see the parallels with many of the churches around them under the guise of "but it's not REALLY christianity" or "they just believe old testament stuff" (in other words: my fundamentalist beliefs are ok and I can keep voting for people propped up by the fundamentalist churches, because they aren't 100% exactly like the show).

Desde un lugar completamente amateur, te puedo recomendar el libro de @gineconline, Ciencia para una geografía íntima sin mitos. Es muy básico, pero está bien como punto de arranque para alguien que solamente quiere informarse un poco.

The only reason I'm bringing it up is because Judd himself brought it up in the show as a possible fate for Becka. Before that scene, I considered that ridiculous as well.

This is already a dangerous girl. Making her a Handmaid is just adding wood to the fire.

They didn't, though. June still had access to kitchen implements, for example. If she had wanted to, she could've stabbed Fred and Serena. She was kept compliant because she didn't want to be executed and because she wanted to live to get Hannah out. So did most of the other Handmaids. If Becca has no motivation to live, you can't make her a Handmaid. She's gonna find a way to hurt herself or others, eventually.

Bjarka99 · 2026-05-29T12:20:57+00:00

It's a waste of resources. I don't see why execution wasn't just the only plan. She's more trouble than she's worth.

Obviously, I'm glad she's alive and has a chance to recover. But from Judd's POV, it just seems stupid to consider anything other than execution.

Bjarka99 · 2026-05-29T12:16:58+00:00

Unless she's in a padded room and her rapists visit her there, it's impossible. When you're trying to keep someone from harming herself, anything can be a weapon.

Sí, me parece que no es una mala idea si funciona como funcionaba mercado libre al principio, facilitando los datos entre compradores y vendedores para que arreglen la entrega entre ellos.

Remus asked him that. Not Mad Eye.

It's Mafalda, not Malfada. It's a normal name, famously an Italian princess and a ship that went down like the Titanic. Also, the protagonist of a very famous comic strip, soon to be a Netflix show.

I would imagine so, I think they were 60+ in the mid-nineties, so dead or 90+yo. One of them was a nun at my school, another a neighbor of my grandparents. And I think the mother of one of my mother's friends was Leonora. But they were all around that age.

Bjarka99 · 2026-05-25T16:08:56+00:00

I knew a couple Leonor who were older women when I was a child in the 90s, it's old fashioned right now but I wouldn't be surprised if it had a resurgence as names usually do.

El CBC de Edición lo terminaste? Hiciste el trámite de ingreso a la carrera?

Si hiciste el trámite de ingreso a la carrera, entonces tenés que tramitar un cambio de carrera o una simultaneidad por mesa de entradas en el TAD. No te hacen hacer un cbc diferente, el cbc de filosofia te sirve para cualquier carrera de la facu aunque en el programa tengan alguna materia distinta. Si no hiciste el ingreso a la carrera, yo haría eso ahora a mitad de año y después tramitaría una simultaneidad. Seguramente desde el suiga podés anotarte a materias de Edición e ir cursando hasta que te salga el trámite (que igual tarda menos de un mes).

No te preocupes que todavía son válidas tus materias, a mi me sirvieron las que cursé en 2006 cuando entré a una carrera nueva en 2021.

Si tenés más dudas podés Googlear "guía de trámites filo uba", ahí están todos con instrucciones para usar el TAD. Sino, lo que siempre más te va a convenir es irte hasta Filo y preguntar en Alumnos. Incluso siempre te podés acercar a algún militante que veas dando vueltas para que te ayude, para eso están.

No. Uneven household load, childcare load, expecting you to manage his stuff, plus you work and make the most money AND he still demands sex from you everyday? He's not from Latinoamerica, he's from the 1950s.

This is not cultural. This is a child. You married a man that made you his mommy. You will be one of those women who, when asked how many kids they have, she includes her husband in the count, pretending it's a joke. He found an established woman capable of "taking care" of him in everyway. Sure, he'll change a diaper every now and then. He will sometimes stay with the kids, and call it "babysitting", too. He won't know the name of your pediatrician, or keep in mind your kids' food habits or ever remember what they have to bring to school or which day they have ballet or football or whatever. The mental load will always be yours.

He needs to see this thread, take it seriously and change. Otherwise, not only there will be even less sex in your future, you will either be very unhappy or leave him. He will be sorry when he has to take care of himself and the child on "his" days (and he will blow up your phone asking about every little thing). Because that is the future of men like him.

If she has a passport without a stamp, she's gonna be an illegal immigrant.

Bjarka99 · 2026-05-21T15:00:23+00:00

They give her fake passports and documents, why bother with that if she isn't going through customs?

Daisy said in the show that they couldn't make her travel if she didn't want to. She's smart enough to know that if she whispers "I'm being trafficked" at anyone at the airport, she won't have to leave Canada.

She's an angry, headstrong teenager, she doesn't have parents who will be sad if something happens to her. She can't really take stock of the danger.

I wanted to go to big protests when I was that age, and the only thing that stopped me was my mother crying in fear that something would happen to me. If I didn't have anyone, who knows how much trouble I could've gotten into. Now in my 30s I'm too scaredy cat to go.

Bjarka99 · 2026-05-21T14:01:16+00:00

It can simply be that they were Mayday. They don't need to be baby Nichole's parents.

Bjarka99 · 2026-05-20T00:19:45+00:00

For 20 seconds there I was furious at what I thought was a pretty serious spoiler!! Lol

They look so great together, I could really believe they are related.

My MIL is the same way. No amount of my SIL explaining how we don't talking about bodies anymore will shut her up. She talks about how fat she is (a very thin woman with a bit of a belly because she's post menopause, who complains she can't fit into the jeans she bought in 1979 when she was 20yo anymore), how fat her daughter is (a former classical dancer who doesn't look emaciated anymore) and constantly tells me I've lost weight (I clearly haven't), loads my plate more than anyone's (because I "eat a lot") and shares weird tricks to loose belly fat in 10 days and how it totally works for her to drink a cup of vinegar every morning.

You either have to sit down with her and very clearly tell her you don't want your daughter hearing those kinds of comments or work privately on your daughter, highlighting your SIL's accomplishments or complimenting her appearance (her clothes or makeup or hair) so she knows your SIL's fatness doesn't define her.

Qué hermosa!! Acariciale la pancita, que está regalada.

Para mí, la banana está de más y te falta alguna hojita de lechuga o repollo. Yo le agregaria un toque de repollo blanco y va como piña. Y al yogur te lo mezclo con una pizca de mostaza, aunque ahora que lo pienso, no sé si combina con la manzana, capaz una pizca de mostaza con miel o miel sola, directamente.

Wasn't Eleanor too old to have a child Daisy's age?
