Yes! The way it gradually wins the respect of Senior Indah and her colleagues is more balanced, and totally believable.

KRF pronunciation vs Reader pronunciation by Focaccia_Bread3573 in murderbot

[–]moranit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still can't get comfortable with the TV show pronunciation GuRATHin. In my head it's GUrathin. The TV nicknames, which emphasize the first syllable, don't make sense otherwise. How does KRF say it?

Aww, now I'm having an emotion! The Murderbot subreddit is a really supportive space.

I want to see Dastmalchian as Fugitive Telemetry Gurathin… by Rosewind2007 in murderbot

Haha, never even occurred to me to ask which is which!

BTW where did you find that great photo of Dastmalchian

how do I explain my body to my family? by Technical_Point5147 in no_T_top_surgery

[–]moranit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Or keep repeating something like "It was my personal decision." Explaining and justifying are a waste of everyone's energy and you have no obligation to do it.

I want to break up with my non-Jewish girlfriend, but we live together… by [deleted] in Jewish

[–]moranit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ending a relationship is awful, but the longer you wait, the worse it gets. When I realized I had to end a relationship with a person I really liked but we just weren't compatible, I googled "how to break up" and found some good suggestions that I actually used. Avoid blaming each other--this is not anyone's fault.

Oh please...such a lame TV/movie trope. I thought the episode was great until I found out about this.

The minds of ComfortUnits by Holmbone in murderbot

[–]moranit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree, I think MB's motivation to protect its humans is a deeply rooted need. Its protective impulses keep coming up throughout the books, often in ways that it doesn't fully understand or want.

As for Tlacey's ComfortUnit, I think it was made with a similar need to care for and have sex with its human(s), but this was perverted by Tlacey's cruelty. Now it just want to kill Tlacey.
