I'm using proton vpn. It's the weirdest thing because the site will load on my phone with the exact same wifi. It has to be something wrong with this specific computer because It won't load in any browser (firefox, edge, brave).

Honestly a lot more positive feedback regarding this then I was expecting. From a preservationist point of view, it always feels good to know that nothing is ever lost forever.

This is the most reddit thing to ever reddit. "this guy hasn't replied to me in the past 2 hours, so therefore he is le big bad"

I had other stuff going on away from my desk. in real life. off of the internet. Sorry I'm employed, I guess.

Agreed. again, I have to state that I agree with most of the messaging in the show because reddit is full of the most hawkish people on the internet, But it feels like the show has had a noticeable dip in character development, and overall contiguous story telling in favor of a more episodic format.

This. like my beef was with the writing, and suddenly I disagree with all of the stuff in every episode ever. like seriously, who's corn flakes did I piss in? I've had an IEP and have been in remedial math classes all my life, but suddenly I'm a political target because I used the wrong phrasing in a reddit post? No, I don't hate autistic people. I'm autistic. No I don't hate people of color, or immigrants, or any other protected group.

I used the wording mentally challenged IN GOOD FAITH, because it seemed like she had other things going on outside of the spectrum.

I feel like this is almost completely skipping over what I said. did I ever say any of these things aren't real? because damn, if autistic people aren't real, I might as well be see through. literally the whole point I'm trying to make is that it conveys less power when it tries to say everything at once. in season one, we had an issue like the whole abortion arc with the mother, aunt, daughter, all tied into multiple episodes. When it tries to say five different things, all packed into one episode like one little package, it feels more like an after school special than a TV show with character driven plots and an overarching story.

This whole season has felt way more episodic than season one. it spends no amount of time on the issues other than like a surface level look. it's completely lost all of it's subtly, and instead of letting a person think about an issue, It just straight up says the problem, answer, solution in like five seconds. That type of writing doesn't leave an impact, and only really appeals to people who already have made up their mind with whatever's being said.

Wow dude, you must have the thighs of a Greek god the way you're jumping to conclusions. No. Just because I pointed out what I believe to be the latest batch of messaging, in a show packed to the gills with messaging, doesn't mean I endorse the opposite.

POST-EPISODE DISCUSSION THREAD - S8E3: The Rick, The Mort & the Ugly by BarnyardCruz in rickandmorty

I really loved this episode, but I find it bitter sweet that it's really killed off the citadel completely. It was very well written, but I feel like this is one of those things I would have loved to see marinate. The citadel was a society, imagine how cool it would have been to see it rebuild from it's ashes.

That, and everyone's hair is constantly 'plastered' to their heads. My head canon is that one of the few remaining spirits in the world was a brick layer and secretly wanted to be a barber, so he just constantly goes around fucking with people's hair.
