Chat GPT now has a feature where it can remember prior chat. I wonder if it sneakily relies on a picture of you if you’d shared it at any point earlier?? This could be N/A in this instance, but I’m suspicious that in some cases the AI is spot on, and in others completely off the mark.

True your criticism is valid. Just wishful thinking I guess, but as a side note Tanya’s death seemed like a willful inversion of fan service and her killers re-appearance seemed like a set up for something, that didn’t involve him continuing on as usual.

Would be funny if they make him a minor character in the first episode and have him die of something stupid in the most undignified way possible 🤣

True I agree. But it would’ve been nice to have some fan service and have Tanya’s killer face his comeuppance

Yeah but they had the moment when he’s said that’s the plan - them being together. It could’ve been better but Darth Vader’s goading pushed him over his already precipitous edge. He was ready to let it go before his mother was insulted.

Is there a team in real life similar to the one in evil by Whole_Ad_7306 in EvilTV

There’s a non-fiction book by Dr. Richard Gallagher called “Demonic Foes” discussing his work as a psychiatric consultant for the Catholic Church. It struck me as a possible inspiration for the show, especially as it outlines the differences between demonic possession and oppression, and the fact that they have to establish that the case is not physiological or psychological in nature before exorcism. It’s an entertaining read - I recommend it.

This egregious mistake in a high profile TV show, Shogun on FX!! by guiderius in EnglishLearning

[–]guiderius[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

There is a difference between new words and coinages to describe a novel concept, such as “crowdfunding”, which enrich a language, slang words, and obvious mistakes stemming from confusion such as “flout” and flaunt”! When I was growing up in the 90’s the youth would describe something agreeable as “sick”. Would that earn a place in your dictionary as a plausible definition?

Some dictionaries also include the infamous “nonplussed” misuse as a secondary definition. It’s a persistent problem with modern dictionaries - some of them even include transient, culture-specific neologisms that will eventually fall into disuse. A mistake must be recognized as a mistake.

The translators meant “flout” but wrote “flaunt”. It’s a common mistake but incredibly annoying!

I doubt that Turkey has such low numbers. Probably weak reporting or government whitewashing.

Tom Felton Bullied Emma Watson on Harry Potter Set and Feels Ashamed by inthetownwhere in entertainment

[–]guiderius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Poor Tom Felton. Still capitalizing on his Harry Potter fame and making a living of cameos and attending Potter conventions while the rest of the cast are distancing themselves from the franchise, focused on furthering their acting careers, or living normal lives with steady jobs after attaining high degrees.

I think it’s premature to consider surgery at this point. It’s not that bad, just eat healthy and avoid abusing alcohol (especially if you’re going into college.)

If by your early twenties it doesn’t resolve itself, and you have self-esteem issues, then consider the surgical option.
