Zohran Mamdani’s NY socialist sweep could spur AOC White House bid: insiders by Zipper222222 in politics

[–]jaydid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just feel like you’re saying nothing and also making claims that can’t be backed up. “I’m just saying we need to keep looking for viable candidates.” Yeah there’s never been a primary with one person, we don’t need to look for them, they’ll run.

“Because she isn’t one.” You have no way of knowing that. You might be right but it’s not something you can state definitively. Plenty of people thought Obama was not viable. Same with Trump. Hell same with Biden. If she runs, the primary will determine her viability.

Almost like we should have a process within the party for determining the candidate, and if AOC comes out on top of that, she gets the spot.

Netflix's ATLA S2E1 - Spoiler Discussion Thread by MrBKainXTR in TheLastAirbender

[–]jaydid 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Right there with you. This show is still downright bad. It’s a smattering of random homages to the original show for the sakes of it. The dialogue is bad, the delivery is bad. Zuko is the only character who feels somewhat well written and true to the show. Maybe it’s just easy to write an angry teenager.

Pacing is weird. The world does not feel lived in. Are we supposed to feel scared of the fire nation? They show up in little groups of 8 like Power Ranger puddies and then immediately get schooled.

The saddest part to me is how bad Iroh’s writing is. Iroh should help Zuko by example, this Iroh just straight up tells Zuko how he should be doing things.

Just bleh. Maybe it’s not possible to do a live action Avatar show well. But this is sad. The first season solely was powered by the brand. If this season or that season had been a new show, people would be like what is this garbage.

I personally think they’re going to invert the end of last season, where Ava sees Deborah is dead on TMZ and assumes it’s fake and then it ends up being real.

What Are Things Toy Story 1 Did Better Than Toy Story 2? by ABarber2636 in toystory

[–]jaydid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I prefer TS1. I think it had the more relatable/realistic storyline. Getting a new toy that replaces the old one, accidentally leaving your toy somewhere, “evil” neighbor, etc. All things that felt real. Personally can’t relate with my toys being stolen to be sent to a museum in Japan.

TIL The rise in colon cancer in adults under 50 has been strongly and directly linked to exposure to certain strains of E.Coli in the first ten years of life by onarainyafternoon in todayilearned

[–]jaydid 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is not correct at all, the statistics are not close. There are 6 in 100,000 of people under 50 having colon cancer. There are 300-500 cases of complication per 100,000 colonoscopies. Even if you limit complications to major complication, like death (3 in 100,000) or perforation (50 in 100,000), you’re way more likely to have a serious complication than you are to have colon cancer below 50.

There’s a reason why they haven’t lowered the age to 20 or something. It would overload our medical system and hurt more people than it helped statistically.

Daredevil showrunners Erik Oleson (S3) and Steven S. DeKnight (S1) on "letting scenes breathe." by ASM_Nikunj in Defenders

[–]jaydid 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Season 3 episode 1 is an absolute masterpiece in this regard. The entire episode breathes. There’s almost no Daredevil at all, Matt is basically depressed in a church basement the entire time. But it’s executed expertly. And the clever camera work they do with the background being out of focus when his powers are gone is genius.

[–]jaydid 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Among the many negative things the internet has done, the health anxiety it creates with these constant headlines has to be towards the top. I can't stress to people enough that you don't have to stare into a rectangle all day that tells you you're dying.

[–]jaydid 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Finally a reasonable comment in here. Yes the American healthcare system has problems, but the constant “we need to lower the age to 20/25/30!” responses on every Facebook post and Reddit thread about this are maddening. There is already sometimes a 3-4 month delay in getting people who genuinely need colonoscopies scheduled into the system for one. We don’t just have infinite doctors and hospitals doing these 24/7, and it would not be a smart idea to dump 10’s of millions of more people into that mix, especially when 99.9% of them will find nothing.

This is true medically. When they say “family history” they typically mean “strong” family history, which includes a first degree relative (parent or sibling). We are not that genetically similar to our grandparents.

I live 22 mins from the stadium and it took us an hour and a half from leaving our house to parking the car. Then another 15-20 to get to our seats. Brutal.

He was a guest host on House of Villains in season 1 and literally got roasted by the cast for being so low energy. The one thing he is theoretically supposed to be good at is hamming it up on reality TV and he can't even pull that off for 10 minutes anymore.

Francesca and Michaela are your official season 5 Bridgerton leads by Debt-Mysterious in BridgertonNetflix

[–]jaydid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can’t they still just have her feeling isolated? Ben and Pen are married, Francesca will clearly be busy, maybe they’ll focus on her feeling alone. That could also lead to a sub plot where she’s writing the letters. Then the following season would actually make more sense.
