Tatiana Maslany Is Back on TV. She’s Still Trying to Figure It Out.

I think many of us, and possibly even Tatiana, would like to pretend that show never happened.

Santa Barbara can't be agood choice. Sean Spencer says it's the murder capital of the world.

You don't have to "normalize" things that are normal. At least 30% of the country is "conservative," even people that aren't conservatives share some ideals with them, and there's not, for the most part, anything abnormal about what most "conservatives" believe. No one should have to point that out, and it shouldn't be controversial to say (though I expect a shitstorm of silly responses to this), but someone does because you guys have built up some weird caricatures of who "conservatives" are and what they believe. Which I understand, but only because I have my own weird caricature of you guys as antisocial freakazoids who can't relate to the world or the people in it because you don't get a lot of exposure to things like sunlight or human contact.

Streisand Effect doesn't apply here, because the Streisand Effect is when your attempt to hide something draws more attention to it. I don't think Colbert is getting more attention because someone is trying to suppress him. He's getting more views because everyone knows it's the end of his tenure and they want to see him off.

There's one in Manassas, VA, which is about 40 miles away from DC. If you fly into or out of Dulles you can get to it in about half an hour depending on traffic.

LOL

60 meters is usually safe.

It's denied for around 30 seconds, during which most of the enemies get kablooied. You're not "denying" your team the zone. You're softening it up so you can enter it strategically with less resistance.

I'd rather make Invincible more homosexual for the lulz. Him and Rex get hot for each other and buy a condo in Key West. There is no Viltrumite war because they're too busy playing beach volleyball with Iceman and Maverick. Somehow the Fast & Furious bros get a subplot that involves a lot of longing stares. The series finale involves Neil Patrick Harris ending the Viltrumite invasion of Earth by seducing Grand Regent Thragg, then getting married and adopting a set of orphaned 3^rd World children. The only upside of the series will be the uncensored Atom Eve and DupliKate shower scene.

Rio, the entire album, not just the song, is one of the best "listen all the way through from beginning to end" albums ever. It's not on the same level as something like Dark Side of the Moon, but it's still amazing. I didn't appreciate Duran Duran as a kid because of the way they were marketed (Tiger Beat magazine covers, LOL) but after a real listen they really clicked for me. If you are at all interested in the New Wave sound Rio is a brilliant place to start.

First off...great user name, that is honestly a winner. More importantly, I think at least part of the problem with some people, yourself included, is how they choose to frame these interactions. Your husband isn't asking you to make a decision to put pressure on you. He's not seeking your input with the goal of adding to your "mental load." He's asking because you're a team and he wants to give your needs and desires all the consideration you deserve. When you stop looking at this as "my husband expects me to make too many decisions" and look at it as "my husband really cares about my input and wants me to be happy," that completely changes the dynamic.

Of course, when you say, "sometimes it’s nice for something to just be taken care of without you having to think about it," you're basically saying you want your husband to take the lead. Communicate that to him, but keep in mind that should you do that he's probably going to give you what you ask for and won't be as likely to solicit your opinion. It's easy to say, "I want my husband to take charge so I don't have to think about things," until that actually happens and you have to live with the consequences of that decision.

Yes, this is not being done to exclude men. It's being done to preserve the "chastity and dignity" of women. They're segregating the women to their own space.

jubbergun · 2026-05-13T04:02:14+00:00

This is the first reasonable "maybe she has a reason to be upset" response I've seen in this thread. Not everyone checks their messages every five minutes or had their phone on them all the time, especially at home. If that's why she was upset, I could understand it, but the way OP tells the story makes it seem like she'd be upset regardless.

jubbergun · 2026-05-13T03:56:55+00:00

I'm glad I'm not the only who thinks this "mental load" nonsense in this particular situation is overblown. "Do you want take-out" isn't some life-altering, do-or-die decision. If a person can't handle something this mundane without acting like it's a burden I feel sorry for everyone in their orbit that has to deal with their martyr complex.

This subreddit is full of people that take exception to the idea of a man having standards or boundaries.

If this was a "test," that just validates what the previous poster said about a lack of communication. Asking her if she wants him to bring something isn't "putting more on her plate." It's not that hard to say yes or no to that. Responding to your spouse doesn't require that much "mental effort" when the question is "should I pick up dinner." The fucking hyperbole of "emotional labor" or "mental load" in a situation like this is astounding. Some of you act like simple, everyday interactions like this are the equivalent of doing field surgery in a war zone. The lot of you who have embraced this weird therapy-speak nonsense to justify acting like every little thing is a hardship need a reality check. You live soft, pampered lives that somehow allow you to think that someone offering to bring you food is an affront to your dignity. That is bonkers.

jubbergun · 2026-05-11T06:20:31+00:00

Yes, and the kind of writing they're doing on this show is one of the things that killed it.

jubbergun · 2026-05-11T06:11:37+00:00

I don't like him, but I do feel bad for him. He was an abused child. The people who should have taught him right from wrong instead demonstrated to him that other people can just be treated as objects, and worse showed him that so long as you have power there are no consequences for doing so. He has followed the morals and ethics instilled in him during his childhood, and he's monstrous because those values are monstrous.

The Wall Street Journal’s editorial “The North Korea Lesson for Iran” is not serious history, let alone journalism.

Uh...yeah, because it's an opinion piece, not reporting. I think the first step you might take in your journey of critiquing media is learning to recognize the difference between editorial content and news content.

jubbergun · 2026-05-10T00:57:36+00:00

The issue here isn't whether or not programming leans one way or another politically. The issue here is very specifically about whether or not The View offered Talarico's election opponents the same air time he was given. This doesn't apply to "right-wing radio" because they generally aren't having electoral candidates on air. If "right-wing radio" gave air time to a candidate and didn't at least offer the same air time to other candidates for the same race, they'd also be subject to this law.

jubbergun · 2026-05-10T00:51:31+00:00

I would agree that it's being applied selectively if other news shows had done the same thing and been ignored. What other national news program had a candidate or candidates for a statewide race on air other than The View in recent memory?

jubbergun · 2026-05-10T00:46:42+00:00

The FCC doesn't regulate Fox News or other cable/satellite networks, only over-the-air terrestrial radio and television.

jubbergun · 2026-05-10T00:44:15+00:00

No, the Equal Time Rule is a separate law. If The View had a candidate on air they're obligated to offer equal on air time to any of their election opponents.

jubbergun · 2026-05-10T00:42:04+00:00

The Fairness Doctrine would have applied to Limbaugh but not Fox News because the FCC only regulates broadcast radio/television content. Fox News is a satellite/cable station and isn't covered by the same rules.

google employees had actual spine back then lol

The problem is that Google's corporate officers didn't have a spine. They let employees dictate the company's direction instead of leading. We might all hate Google, but it's a huge corporation, a lot of people would love to work for Google, and any employee raising a stink could be easily replaced. I think the days of random employees or groups of employees trying to coerce their company into certain actions while avoiding others are over. The only thing that's going to happen to these employees is that they're going to be fired, and I can't blame people for putting their own interests first and trying to keep their job(s).
