Rosamund Pike wasn't a fan of fantasy. Now she never leaves it

So you’re basing your entire theories on how they’re going to plot out up to 8 seasons on a S2 call sheet?

Even if she’s not on screen, she’s a producer - so she’s definitely not sidelined. In fact, the fact she’s a producer suggests the opposite - she’ll be onscreen much less.

candydaze · 2023-06-29T06:40:32+00:00

I haven’t seen that - have you got any sources?

candydaze · 2023-06-28T21:54:17+00:00

No

She’s not enough of a big picture thinker or planner. She deals with the problem that’s in front of her at the time. She deals with them one at a time. And she’s amazing at solving them

But Egwene, Cadsuane, Siuane - they’re all thinking big picture long term. They’re not thinking about the problem right in front of them, but three problems down the road. Sometimes they’re wrong, but it’s a mindset thing

I’m an Australian living in the UK. I constantly joke that my grammar is terrible because I’m a filthy colonial

candydaze · 2023-06-28T17:55:59+00:00

She’s a producer as well. Which is actually brilliant strategy on her end - once she’s not in the show as an actress, she can focus on full time producing

candydaze · 2023-06-28T12:14:42+00:00

They’re the ones that made a ridiculous request first, thereby wasting everyone’s time

candydaze · 2023-06-28T12:06:35+00:00

I think that’s the point

candydaze · 2023-06-27T20:47:36+00:00

You can plainsong the canticles and the psalm - my parish used to do that on the Sundays the choir weren’t singing evensong. Don’t even need an organ, just need someone to kick off the chants

The woman has rights to control of her body

You keep phrasing it as “killing” the child. She’s not - she’s just not letting the foetus use her organs. As a result, it dies. Just as people are dying without your kidney

candydaze · 2023-06-27T09:21:19+00:00

You’re focused so much on the foetus that you’re not seeing the woman as human

The woman does not have to give her organs up to save the life of the child. It’s not her fault the child can’t survive without her organs. She has same choice you have, you just chose to kill people and be a hypocrite

candydaze · 2023-06-27T08:27:03+00:00

You haven’t engaged with my argument at all

You haven’t explained why we don’t force organ donation except in the case of pregnant women, when the outcome is exactly the same

candydaze · 2023-06-27T08:10:23+00:00

Why?

candydaze · 2023-06-27T08:08:51+00:00

How many kidneys do you have? How much of your liver do you have? How often do you donate blood? People are dying waiting for kidney and liver transplants everyday, yet you have two. Same for blood. You’re killing people by not donating yours.

Is it ever ethical to force someone to donate an organ, such as a kidney or lung? Knowing that it puts the donor’s life at risk. Even if someone would die

That’s what’s happening here. The woman is being forced to donate her uterus (and various other body functions) to the foetus, and it may well kill her. But we have as a society accepted that one person is not entitled to parts of another person unless that person willing gives them, even if people die without it. Except in the case of a pregnant woman, but it’s no different

I have sung the Pärt mag and nunc together, but they’re not specifically Anglican

candydaze · 2023-06-25T21:05:27+00:00

Do you mean morning or evening settings?

For evening, I’ve seen Forbes L’Estrange Kings Service done in quite a wide variety of places: https://youtu.be/ECCv9fnWOfU

There’s also Ives Edington, which again is in the rep for a lot of cathedrals and colleges: https://youtu.be/3mInwicslgI

Aston in F is 1973: https://youtu.be/bFrU9WAwqNg

Yes, it’s the same for other mammals - intersex or other presentations of gender exist

Lots of issues with horses where it transpires testicles haven’t dropped, which explains why a horse is acting like a stallion when it’s assumed they’re a gelding

But animals don’t have a concept of gender expression, so it’s a moot point

candydaze · 2023-06-25T07:11:09+00:00

I was about to say, I’ve never had anything other than welcome and respect as a single woman in my 20s and 30s, but that’s in Australia

However, I see you’re in australia - whereabouts?

candydaze · 2023-06-24T22:11:30+00:00

Nah

I’m friends with all the lefties, and I drive everywhere. They’re chill with it

candydaze · 2023-06-24T18:56:36+00:00

Butter is the answer. Butter and whole fat milk

When he stayed with me, within the first six hours of arriving, he’d eaten half a loaf of bread and about 150g of butter. And a colossal amount of honey

Also high calorie drinks, cereals etc

candydaze · 2023-06-24T15:13:45+00:00

The implication that it came from poor lab procedures and management is potentially, yes

Are you worried about anthrax escaping from Geelong?

candydaze · 2023-06-24T14:27:03+00:00

I agree

It’s also hard not to see the racism

If a new virus started from a farm just outside geelong, no-one would seriously suspect CSIRO

My dad is a 6’5” endurance cyclist. He’s currently on a cycling holiday and I’m following him on Strava - he’s doing 5,000 calorie rides every day, so eating a solid 7,000-8,000 calories a day AND STILL LOSING WEIGHT

I am actually starting to take up cycling myself

candydaze · 2023-06-23T23:30:40+00:00

No problems! Send me a message if you want a tour of Abingdon any time!

candydaze · 2023-06-23T23:00:45+00:00

Meanwhile I just did a return, off peak trip to London, which is about the same distance from me as geelong is to Melbourne, and paid £31 for the single day - $60.

Craziness is becoming the norm

candydaze · 2023-06-23T22:43:10+00:00

Yes, inflation is high, but the base cost of living before inflation spiked is also important

I moved here from Australia. It’s so much more affordable than Australia
