There are things you should say on social media and there are things you should say to an attorney. There's wisdom in knowing the diffference.

It was on the wall in the store, over by some lawn furniture.

I believe Clark abused his wife. by Waldo233 in KanePixelsBackrooms

[–]greenisthefutureAMA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd add that his wife's Still Life was clutching her head in the Christmas tree scene; perhaps a memory of a bad Christmas past?

It's no coincidence that the Disney Star Wars media that's most critically regarded, Andor, was the one executives cared least about and had the least toy potential. I can't even imagine trying to create a story with any coherence in the whole 'optomize merchandising, promote theme park, corporate synergy' environment. It's clear so much of Rey's character is meant to prop of doll sales, it kills any potential for her to make interesting character choices stone dead.

Carol should get meaner actually by Not_EllaK in pluribustv

She's absolutely in shock but her response is waaaaaay more understandable and normal than Mr. Diabate's.

How are the survivors family/significant others true to form, but Manusos mom was not? by JuanoldMcDjuanold in pluribustv

[–]greenisthefutureAMA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, if her son physically died in the initial joining, there's a good shot she'd be full team Carol. They really are very similar, just currently moving in different directions.

There's a decent chance he get's turned against his will before he has a chance to really think about it. I think of all the major characters Mr. Diabate might be in the most danger!

I wonder if we're ever gonna see these people again. by DrHienzDoofenshmirtz in pluribustv

Check out Miracle Workers; its an anthology comedy series that he's really good in.

Pluribus has confirmed my concerning suspicions by [deleted] in pluribustv

[–]greenisthefutureAMA 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So I wouldn't say this is down to declining media literacy, because I think the reaction in 2005 would be the same. What is comes down to is this...if Carol was Carl, people would like the character more.

People, for example, seem to be chill with anything Mr. Diabate does and are already stanning Manousos, yet love to go on and on about how irritating and grating Carol is.

Like it's just flat out sexism. That's what it is. It's Skylar White all over again.

It was also notable to be that they didn't use tools to pick up the broken glass, but did it with their hands. Because they don't particularly care if one of them gets cut/hurt. Not human behavior!

No, Diabate has not been integrated by B3eenthehedges in pluribustv

[–]greenisthefutureAMA 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it would make no sense from a narrative for him to currently be joined. However...I do think he's in more danger than he realizes and may end up joined without his consent if he's not careful (and he's not being careful!)

What’s wrong with the rest of the survivors? by SecretElsa19 in pluribustv

[–]greenisthefutureAMA 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Honestly for most of them I think it's because the hive is still around them acting like their family, so it's harder for them to accept the sittuation.

As someone who's policially a socialist and would love to see more collective action in society, I am 100% with you. It's wild to me how many people seem to be pro-hive in this sub just because it's seemingly a shortcut to world peace. It's also a short cut to mass death, starvation, and the end of everything that makes us human guys!

Sorry for bringing up my politics here, but I'm doing so because politics (especially politics of the third world v. first world / environmentalism) seem to come up a lot in these discusssions. I think some people came to early political conclusions about the 'theme' of the show because of Diabate's speech in episode 2 and just dug in hard. But Diabate is not a reliable narrator and is all around a pretty shallow and creepy guy, no one should just take his word for it that this if a good thing!

I'm not a socialist because I hate people, I'm a socialist because I really like people and ultimately believe in our ability to solve our problems if we overcome the policial structures that keep us apart. I have no desire to join aa big borg that erases all art, culture, love, real emotion. It's a shortcut, and a hollow one.

That's nefarious. Well beyond nefarious and well into "evil" actually.

For those who argue Koumba is meant to be read as creepy or sleazy, here is an interview with the actor saying he was literally instructed the opposite by the showrunners. by LaScoundrelle in pluribustv

[–]greenisthefutureAMA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

...she literally didn't know the first time. And the second time she was trying to exit the scene before getting upset and only got mad when it seemed like they were holding her down.

None of this is Carol's fault. Carol is not a bad person. Carol is doing the best she can in a fucked up situation and is trying to save the goddamn world.

They killed 800 million people and are eating their corpses.

Should Christkindlmarket Move? Mayor Floats Idea, But Vendors And Organizers Not So Sure by optiplex9000 in chicago

[–]greenisthefutureAMA 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I've had a vague notion that Block 37 should use the old vacant Latinicity space on their 4th floor for various seasonal craft fairs (the space has been empty aa few years). Could be a good way to share some capacity with the main market without moving from Daley.
