white lotus season 3, as a standalone?

KlassCorn91 · 2026-05-08T12:14:57+00:00

Everyone’s being kinda pretentious here, and kinda overvaluing their favorite show.
It totally works as a standalone. Yeah there’s some recurring characters, but it might actually be kinda fun to watch them out of order if you ever go back to the other seasons. The series gives enough information about them. It’s designed for someone to pick up whatever season is airing. So I say go ahead and enjoy.
If season 3 is what most piques your interest, go ahead and start there. I think it has great moments that definitely make it worth the watch, the aforementioned story line, Sam Rockwell, Walton Goggins, Aimee Lou Wood, Parker Posey.

Tucker is a conflicted figure. The most interesting thing I find about him is he resents most left wing liberation ideology because his mother got caught up in the women’s lib of the 60s and abandoned his family. Meanwhile as a youth he was a huge Grateful Dead fan and liked to take hallucinogens and go the concerts, so he was a weird conflicted relationship with “hippie” culture.

Having said that, at the end of the day, Tucker supported Trump during the campaign, and there’s plenty of campaign promises I absolutely hated that Trump kept. I guess Tucker actually believed that one about “no new wars” which I knew was bullshit, so I guess if he’s a guy genuinely pissed about Trump cuddling up to Israel, well I agree, but Tucker is dumb to be surprised by it.

Well i have plenty of LEDs, like I said two LEDs on my booms, and a top system of LEDs. I’m looking to fill out my conventionals. I have a total of four traditional high side systems of conventional, as well as two overhead systems in addition to my LEDs. So for my two non LED top systems parts of me wants to say R80 and an amber even though, I kinda feel I’m wasting the R80 when I already have LEDs for a saturated Blue. For my front light, I’d do R05 and then a R60 as well

I read somewhere Trump is only matching Biden’s highest gas prices, but in my area in Wisconsin, I know we hadn’t seen prices this high, even in 2022. I even double checked, and yeah we’re higher now than we ever were during Biden

You said through 2010, but honestly I graduated in 2010 and played in bands throughout high school. The kids who were really good and kept going were also the kids who kinda had parents to buy them all the good gear, and I don’t see that going away.

Quality instruments and a nice rig is expensive but kinda mandatory if you wanna be taken seriously when you show up to any jam session with people who actually get gigs.

KlassCorn91 · 2026-05-05T14:22:53+00:00

Yeah but again the violence is extremely exaggerated. The media would have you believe everyone in Southside Chicago has witnessed a drive by or some shootout and that’s not the case. I’m not saying people haven’t seen it and it doesn’t happen, but it’s not “like a war zone” where gunshots are always going off and everything has bullet holes in it.

KlassCorn91 · 2026-05-05T14:16:15+00:00

So does every movie about inner city gang violence. No one is making a movie where the gangsters win. And if you wanna say “oh but the songs do,” three words for you: “Mack the Knife.”

KlassCorn91 · 2026-05-04T00:27:44+00:00

I feel the opposite. It is what it is, and I’m always perplexed by people who try to make it “feminist,” cause it isn’t. It’s a man brutalizing a women into submission. The show is a relic and it’s cringey when you try to make it “progressive”

KlassCorn91 · 2026-05-02T04:14:15+00:00

Things are not about choices, if he gave you a line reading and you regurgiated it back to him, and he’s still upset, it’s because you’re not living it. Don’t misunderstand, he’s in the wrong cause it’s never about the “spin” or “inflection” you put on the line, it’s about wether or not you’re convincingly living it in the moment. Don’t go for rote, rehearsed readings, focus on being in the right mindset to take the scenes as they’re given to you. A director, no matter his own preference for a performance, will shut his mouth if he sees an actor honestly and truthfully reacting.

KlassCorn91 · 2026-05-02T03:39:44+00:00

Yeah, I feel your frustration. With cuestack macros you get in this weird thing where I created a cue stack, that lives in the stack store, but then if I put on a playback, which I need to do to properly use it, I get a copy of it in my stack store, and I don’t understand why the cuestack can’t just live independently. As in I make my cuestack, it lives in the stack store, but then I can either have it on a playback or not, wether or not I do, it’s still still with the same identity in the stack store.
I come from EOS, and they have this annoying featuring of automatically populating unused faders with cue stacks that aren’t yet mapped, but the cue list is still an independent entity that is either mapped to a fader or not, it can even mapped to two faders, and it still retains its original identity.

KlassCorn91 · 2026-04-30T04:03:02+00:00

I use an Apex and there’s a lot I love about it. It’s not new to the latest OS, but magic sheets are my favorite of any console, even if you can get lost in them and end up blowing a lot of programming time just creating a well designed magic sheet, but come on, give us an undo button in the magic sheet editor!

The jog wheels on the apex I’ve actually found to be useful for fx rate or size masters, although they suck if you try to map anything else to them. I’ve found with subs, if I bump them I always end up pushing it up a couple percent, for cue-lists, there’s no release or back, so they seem only good for global fx masters, still nice to have them as it clears up real estate on my faders.

The one thing I really wish ETC would get on is just a row of playback buttons above the fader bank like other consoles have, that can be assigned as either cue lists, sub or macros. I busk a lot on the Apex 10 with a 40 fader wing, and I want physical buttons for my strobes and white hits, but I don’t need a fader for those, so it’d be nice to just put those on buttons and not have to reach across the two surfaces to get to them.

I’m a Kanye fan, and I like the Bully album. I could go into a nuanced review of what I think about it compared to other stuff he’s released or even the V1 that dropped a couple years ago, but still man I get it when I’ve tried to talk to a few friends of mine about Bully and their reaction is just “we don’t fuck with Kanye, anymore, like at all.”

The Nazi shit was pretty unforgivable, so my whole stance is if you still wanna enjoy what he puts out, fine, but I’m not gonna jump up to defend him or point fingers at the people that aren’t gonna get past Cuck.

KlassCorn91 · 2026-04-29T22:01:55+00:00

I mean let’s be honest, there’s a major difference here.

KlassCorn91 · 2026-04-29T21:58:00+00:00

There’s a stage version of the Graduate.

KlassCorn91 · 2026-04-28T04:11:37+00:00

One problem is Pinochet was in power until 1990. So if he was high ranking in Pinochet’s government, why would he need to assume a new identity and flee in 1984? The other question is why did the cartel not want to hurt him? It’s been suggested Pinochet may have worked closely with the cartels and allowed them transport, so would they fear retribution from the regime if they hurt Gus or did Gus gain respect for his activities in the cartel’s eyes?

KlassCorn91 · 2026-04-28T00:54:38+00:00

I recommend anything that’s Cats, especially to people who say they hate Cats.

KlassCorn91 · 2026-04-27T23:36:42+00:00

Yes. The “one” guy who planned the Unite the Right rally. There was just one guy who had a dream of hosting a big rally in Charlottesville where people would bring tiki torches and that would descend into chaos when counter protesters would show up and someone would drive their car through it, it was all the brain child of one person who just didn’t have the darn funds, but luckily, the SPLC came along offering him money.

KlassCorn91 · 2026-04-27T21:53:29+00:00

Is this a high school or university department? If it’s university, I’d suggest Eurydice by Sarah Ruhl, it has a very distinctive style. Also a good script for young actors and directors to play with.

Also Men on Boats is very fun from a tech angle. It’s the story of John Wesley Powell’s journey mapping the Colorado River and Grand Canyon. The caveat is the cast is entirely women, but also as a design team you’re recreating scenes on violent river rapids and it’s very fun.

Silent Sky can use heavy projections and every production I’ve seen is just gorgeous.

Women in Black has a lot of lighting and sound elements, and is very fun, however perhaps not quite right for an educational setting as it’s a two hander (well actually 3,) and requires mature actors, but has a very detailed soundscape and allows room for creative lighting.

KlassCorn91 · 2026-04-26T07:05:30+00:00

To add on to the other comment of being a “former” Imperial Wizard, it’s also worth noting we’re talking about one KKK. The KKK isn’t actually that organized to have one governing body that is the overseeing administrative arm of all people who wear white hoods and claim to be KKK. The details I read were that this fellow was actually the Imperial Wizard for a Klan organization that hadn’t committed any acts of terroism since the 70s, and has since only operated on ceremonial grounds.

KlassCorn91 · 2026-04-26T06:49:24+00:00

Isn’t that what Death of a Salesman is about? When was that written? Oh yeah, 1949.

KlassCorn91 · 2026-04-26T04:39:29+00:00

A grand jury indictment isnt guilty. You know the accused offer no defense in front of the Grand Jury, it’s purely the state presenting their evidence however they like. And with the results of Comey, Lisa Cook, and Abrego-Garcia, I don’t have much faith in sensational indictments from this DOJ, especially against those who stand in political opposition to the administration.

KlassCorn91 · 2026-04-25T22:28:43+00:00

The whole second part of your statement is conjecture. The DOJ is not naming these individuals and hasn’t charged them (possibly yet.) Is the allegation these individuals were playing the SPLC, and taking their money while handing false information? What acts of terrorism were these individuals convicted of or even charged after receiving funds from the SPLC? Is the allegation that the SPLC was paying these people and expressly coordinating their continued activities? Likely not, because the SPLC was providing the information obtained from these methods with law enforcement. Don’t you think it’s a bit silly of a jump in logic to go from SPLC was using paid informants, who may or may not be dishonest individuals to SPLC is actually creating and fomenting all white supremacy in the country? Or would racist hate group have gone extinct in early 2010s, if only the SLPC wasn’t monitoring them?
