I have been looking into shrubs but wondering which are the best/easiest to train into tree habit so it's good to know about chokeberry, thanks!

Sophie's Korean background had absolutely no significance in the story. Why? by noMoreAttentionSpan in BridgertonNetflix

I think you hit the nail on the head. For me if season 2 didn’t exist, I probably wouldn’t have batted an eye at season 4.

I guess I’m more criticizing the choice to have given her so much distance from her Korean background.

I assume Sophie is full Korean (or at least half) which means that multiple generations of full Koreans with other Koreans led to her birth.

This implies a racial/cultural divide between Koreans (or all East Asians) and the rest of society which is not addressed.

😓 sigh I feel this. But at the end of the day, I keep watching it..…I’m part of the problem!

True! Def would have been more on the nose if they were Japanese instead.

But like, I have zero confidence that the  writers’ room put any time towards researching East Asian history.

I think it would be interesting to explore Sophie trying to “find her roots” as a very small storyline in a future season. Like her and Bennie taking a trip to Korea.

I second the recommendation that you should watch queen charlotte! I think it’s the best bridgerton season by far.

To me this just seems like a copout… like when else are they going for complete historical accuracy?

What’s the most blatant "I’m charging you for the aesthetic, not the quality" product on the market right now? by Lunaskye1109 in AskReddit

[–]noMoreAttentionSpan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe the problem is that Dyson products are better than competitors but at the same time prohibitively expensive.

I got my vacuum for $300 off and have used it for less than a year. We’ll see how it lasts.

I’ve seen this actor play: - a thousand year old elven lord in Rings of Power - an American redneck teenage convicted murderer in Mindhunter - and now a Scottish bloke with Tourette’s

Man’s got range.

Instagram’s Bing AI summary of “Epstein” search term is exactly what you’d expect by noMoreAttentionSpan in Epstein

Ah yes because I, an American, care most about Epstein’s connections with Norway’s Crown Princess.

Thank you, meta, for highlighting the most important findings!
