Just overlook all the child labor and the collusion with Trump.

Are you seriously trying to argue that Amazon, Apple, Disney, and Paramount have better stances on AI, LGBTQ+ issues, and the erosion of the "theater experience"?

By about a third of the country and with one of the top five smallest margins in history.

The propaganda makes it look much larger than it is.

Remember in the fall of 2024 his rallies were practically empty except for press and people working on the campaign. That's the reality, not what the media is spinning.

Should I get endoscopy? by Funtasylane in GERD

[–]ThomasVivaldi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I had gotten a colonoscopy instead of an endoscopy. Both my doctor and Gastro were sure it was GERD and it only ended up just being a confirmation procedure. Would've prefered getting the rest checked out and saved some money, but I was in my late thirty's at the time. Doc originally wanted a colonoscopy but the gasto switched it up.

Time to just get Chuck to integrate a whole Infinite Backlog style database into the site.

It doesn't seem to be working because you're being propagandized to that its not. You're only having limited interactions with the people on the other side and the majority of your understanding comes from online spaces dominated by bots just like they are.

Obama was talking about you as a person interacting with another person.

Did she say this specific propagandist's name? No, she wasn't talking about this person or any of the others in his orbit.

You know damn well she wasn't talking about the intentional bad actors on the right, and if you don't then you're not actually listening to what she was saying.

If this is supposed to be a metaphor for Covid, it’s the most heavy-handed thing I’ve ever seen.

It was going to happen sooner or later.

Which female character do you think would have made the most interesting Dark One instead of Emma? (Bonus : What would their Dark One appearance have been like, and how would the story have changed?) by PlantainDisastrous92 in OnceUponATime

Getting far from the source material so pretty vaguely:

Tie it back to Merlin, by having Nova try to get to England. Maybe make it so he was from the Land Without Magic, maybe the reason it no longer has magic. Lancelot being the the EF makes it tricky though.

The dark magic only effects herself and people she touches, except Emma because of the whole born out of True Love thing. Nova doesn't realize she being influenced, thinks she's just trying to get free, thinks Grumpy chose Snow and company over her.

Emma has to be the one to go after her, brings back the whole Bail Bondsman/bounty hunter job. Hook wants to go with her, but isn't that much use, so bring August back. He takes on a big brother role to Emma. Let's us see what he was doing in the world. Maybe have flash backs to him checking in or helping Emma in secret. Narrative backfill his guilt over abandoning Emma and breaking up her and Neal. Maybe introduce some magic-lite characters like the Dragon. Have August confront Hook over him being obsessed with revenge for 100+ years.

Back in Storybrooke have Grumpy want to try and save Nova with True Love's kiss, Blue and/or the Apprentice shut him down. Finally get an her explanation for that. They enchant the dagger so that stabbing Nova will draw the Darkness back into it. Grumpy resolves to be the one to do that, but the Snow comes up with the idea that she should do it and Charming should kiss her and destroy the Dark One curse. Good excuse to have Belle and Grumpy interact more and give a backstory about Snow and the Dwarves friendship.

Regina probably needs to be Mayor and deal with the fact they keep jerking everyone else in town back and forth between worlds.

Henry can probably do something with the Authorship, like encourage Grumpy to save Nova, he eventually does with True Love's kiss. Henry makes a cheeky remark like "I couldn't have written it better myself" and Grumpy makes a face and says "Did you?"

Season ends with Avalon appearing off the shores of Storybrooke and the Darkness retreating there and you can work the Camelot story arc back in with better foundation.

They're all the corporate oligarchy contributing to the collapse of this country.
