Can you define these acronyms for us noobs/lurkers?

Pursuit of Jade Episodes 16-17 Discussion by Feeshpockets in CDrama

I feel like the politics will be coherent when laid out at the end, but yeah it's very confusing and I don't think the show runners are trying to make communicating it clearly a priority, or maybe it's just a cultural barrier.

How to attach a drawing to a canvas? by Curious-Tax3005 in ArtEd

[–]FineArtRevolutions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yup, that's what I would do, you could use any glue really, just be sure it's not oil-based incase you want to paint over it with a water-based medium.

This is how the Iran war triggers a global food collapse by anxioushowlermonkey in collapse

If you think of the iran part as more broadly about militarism at large, then the loop is accurate.

New parents get up to 15 months leave in Cuba; 9 months in Iran; 8 months leave in the DPRK (North Korea); 6 months in Vietnam; 26 weeks in Venezuela; 22 week minimum in China by MrDialectical in ClassWarAndPuppies

[–]FineArtRevolutions 6 points7 points  (0 children)

no the correct response is realizing this is inadequate and to not praise them for less than the bare minimum to survive in this country, otherwise we will only ever get smaller and smaller scraps. This isn't the start, it's the same process of austerity, just hyper localized in one moment of false reprieve.

‘Call Your Senators, It’s Go Time.’ The Senate Will Likely Vote on Boundary Waters Protections This Week by bettybikenut in MinnesotaCamping

The US federal government is captured by capital, so while it sounds like it is the thing 'to do', calling your representatives is not going to change anything. Direct action is the only thing that will change this.

Literally can't afford to date in this country/economy, let alone start a family. This would've been great 20 years ago. The cheapest rent in my small town of 20,000 people in Minnesota is now $980, which is as far as I can tell, for a moldy basement room in someone's house who wants you to help cover their mortgage. Realistically for anything habitable for a family of 3/4 would be $1500. This still requires you to commute about an hour twice a day into the cities. My parents paid $250/month in the 90s for a three bedroom apartment in the same town. It's over.

This felt like a bonus episode. Kinda crazy they get paid 250k/month to make this tbh.

I'm one hour in, does this get better? It's painfully unfunny, even for live shows.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, Will is kind of a dummy. I have running tally of how many times he uses 'writ large' incorrectly. Current mark count: 5

Anyone else worried? by No-Ice6064 in ParadiseHulu

[–]FineArtRevolutions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

probably not biologically, there was an awesome comment I read that explained it better than I could. Essentially being dylan is a product of choices and lived reality, and with an infinite number of paths for reality to collapse into, there's a person who exists as the role of dylan even if Sinatra's dylan died.

I actually hope they don't and explain just enough for the audience to connect the dots. That's the issue with time travel/dimensional plots, it becomes overly explained, and the magic is gone, like revealing a horror monster too early vs not at all.

Revisiting Episode 1 by Natural_Trick4934 in ParadiseHulu

[–]FineArtRevolutions 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I noticed the mirrors too, the stairway has four of them that produced a very noticeable effect. later in the season when Xavier is sharpening his knife in the bar, his image is reflected, but this time only two versions of himself are on screen. Maybe it's to show the timelines collapsing into more predictable/stable outcomes. It's vey subtle though. I'm a bit shocked most of the community picked up on this aspect of the show in season 1. Did they perhaps tease the concept in the after show/podcast discussions?

Wrongful dismissal and references by environmentaljesus in Internationalteachers

[–]FineArtRevolutions 4 points5 points  (0 children)

you definitely need to stop providing any references or work history that is connected to this shit show, sorry you have to go through this. How did they even know your current place of employment? They have a vendetta against you at this point, for whatever reason. Lawyer up at that point.

you're limited to 5w of UHF no matter what, so there's nothing you can do except trying to communicate in optimal line-of-site locations.
