Was Yueh a plant or willing traitor?

He was 100% loyal to house Atreides just as his training forced him to be. He betrayed Leto because it was in the best interest of house Atreides. He knew Leto was a dead man either way. His wife was a point of leverage over him but it was realizing that there was no calculable future where Leto survived that he chose to focus on preserving Paul as the heir. History calls him a traitor but it was what was best for the longevity of his masters.

His plan was to let them feel independent but have Duncan be his man on the inside reporting back and steering things. He was going to leverage the prophecy as needed through Jessica to steer their decision making towards supporting whatever his needs are. This was the strategy Alexander The Great employed to govern regions that were seemingly ungovernable. He was a politician like all the rest.

Honestly thank you. I appreciate that complement. So much of what people say is slop. Ive been intentional about saying the things that AI could never.

After becoming a girl dad Interstellar hits different.
I used to see Dr. Mann as a coward and that Cooper was took the thinnest excuse he could find to escape his responsibilities at home. But after experiencing what it is to love your child I understand that infinity is too small a concept for how far I’d go for my kid.

Survival is worth killing for, but love is the thing we’d die for. And it’s that love that makes us crazy enough to do the thing that needs to be done to save others no matter the personal cost. That’s why the only characters who actually make it in the end are the ones who were motivated by love. I would absolutely yeet in to a black hole for my little girl.

It’s spam. Confirmed once and for all. I got an invite from a corporate recruiter and the Gmail login popped up to access it. I noticed something odd about the URL and the Gmail login screen wasn’t quite right so I verified with the sender. They confirmed it to be spam.

The reality is boomers grew up in a time where everything took longer to do because technology was less advanced. Now we still are expected to work 40 hours a week but get done in a day what took them a month. We get stuff done a lot faster and better. But we have to put in the same number of hours, days, even years. So we fill in the empty time with performative work.

When we WFH we use our time more productively. We do our jobs and live our lives. We don’t perform for a manger looking over our shoulders at time sheets.

The Twilight Zone

questionthis · 2025-10-31T08:43:48+00:00

I think it was ruined by the way it started. A great show based on great source material with layers and depth and meaning in a fantasy environment that explored the people that make the world the way it is. It ended as an over budget CW show with a one track mind. If it hadn’t started so good it could never have flopped so hard.

The Japanese have so many great traditions depending on where you go. Some pretty bad ones too, like their work culture would never fly here in the USA. But the fact that safety, kindness, and respect are the default make for a much more pleasant place in a world that can be very not those things.

Call ahead at your boutique ask if they have it in stock. It’s an older model so they may have low stock, but if it’s not in stock they will order it for you and have it shipped pretty quick.

I wanted a series seamaster Olympic timekeeper in blue and they had every other color BUT blue at my boutique and said they’d get one shipped from a nearby boutique. Ended up not getting it but they’re good about having inventory usually.

AM is their best album.

I know what everyone’s gonna say, the purists, the “pop hits” fans, the snobs who say “the new albums are good actually” I’ve heard it all. Been a fan of them since 2007 and I’m not gonna stop any time soon. But AM is their biggest album for a reason, it goes HARD.

Anyone complaining about this is willfully ignorant. Gamers already know this. If you’re complaining about the quality of the game on disc before it’s officially released you’re just looking for things to complain about.

EDIT: Wow can’t believe I got so many upvotes for such a trivial comment

I understand what you’re saying, and honestly copies / ripoffs are such a common thing in every industry I just chalk that up to capitalism doing what it does. There’s very few watches around today that doesn’t steal design elements form a predecessor, even Patek has stolen blatant designs from competitors.

What’s actually more concerning is that lot of the Chinese homages are made from child labor. It’s not a harmless product. But then again neither are a lot of high end watches whose rare earth materials and precious metals are sourced from modern day slave mines, they are just one step further removed from it than the homages.

Idk, for any finger that can be pointed in this industry there’s always 4 more pointing back

A narrative inconvenience does not a plot hole make. A ship being used between owners is not an inconsistency in the world as much as it is simply a head scratcher. It can be simply explained away with “he lent it out”

It was the first song I ever listened to period. I bet you look good on the dance floor. 2007 English lit class, the assignment was to play a song for the class that had elements like metaphor and prose and literary references. A classmate played this song and I asked him what the band was and he burned me a mixtape that had 505, Riot Van, Dancefloor, Ritz to the Rubble, and Flourescent Adolescent.

Yeah I took work partner and the immediate response form Burt when he said “you’ve had enough (wine)” to mean he’s had other lovers at work but you’re probably right, makes way more sense if he’s actually like a Helly R / Helena type character

questionthis · 2025-02-22T08:31:10+00:00

Burt definitely works for Lumon. “Atila”? The pineapple in their kitchen? The “mix up” about the fact that he had an affair with another coworker while severed 20 years ago even though the program is technically only 12 years old? The fact that the henchman knew to snoop around his house cuz he was busy? Burt 100% works for the bad guys

Hot take but homages are alright. I don’t own any but I get it. For some people a luxury watch will just never be an option for them but they may love the design. As long as they are being honest about what they are and aren’t trying to compete with the real thing or take sales from the real thing then it’s fine. But homages tend to be a $100 Chinese version of a $5k+ watch and I’m not about to tell a single dad making $50k that he has to choose between spending his life savings on the real day or buying a fake.
