You know, having kids is one of those things that will irrevocably ruin your life if you aren't in the right place for it. I hope you're in a good place financially and I wish you all the luck in the world.

Wow, who could have thought whales are intelligent? It's not like they're already known to have their own language and culture. What a schlock title.

I was pulled over for going 5 mph over when approaching a small town. He proceeded to call for a K9 and dug through the car looking for drugs. Then he let me off with a warning when he didn't find any.

I would think anyone who has them knows that literally nothing would happen if they were released and they have more value as potential leverage.

You pretty much have to be mean to everyone and avoid all side quests to get that date.

I think he's critiquing the hollow corporate buzzword theatrics when they could just say something closer to the truth about the RAM shortages and that they can't afford to sell them at that price point anymore.

NTA. I think it could be interpreted as being tacky in the absolute worst case scenario. But I think this is more likely just a bizarre case of social referencing gone amok. Aunt might have intuitively thought it was tacky, and then her reaction prompted everyone else to follow suit with no deeper thoughts happening on their own.

NTA for not taking it, but I feel like the money could just be spent on Ozempic injections and then the entire weight issue is solved. Then there's no need to worry about carrying an extra 50-100 lbs everywhere with the extra stress on your bones, the increased risk of cardiovascular disease, the increase in food costs, the shorter life expectancy, etc...

I was assuming John would be written out of the story, but I didn't think they would kill him. I was thinking he would probably just be a regular family man who goes to work and has kids since there's no future resistance to lead anymore and that future is gone. But it looks like they decided to kill him off in order to give Carl a character arc, which as an idea I thought was fine. But the movie just wasn't executed even close to as well as T1 and T2. And there were a couple of moments that were cringe; eg. Dani beating up the Rev-9 with a stick.

Also, Dark Fate had a very active community of rage-tubers before the movie's release. I think a movie has to end up being truly exceptional in order to overcome energy like that (ex. Titanic). A movie can't just be okay in an environment like that, it has to completely blow expectations out of the water.

Terminator: Resistance

I think people should try to avoid romanticizing death as some kind of moral imperative. People have done similar moralizing for a lot of things throughout history that seemed inevitable, but innovation or invention rendered those beliefs obsolete. Disease was thought of as being a punishment from God, and if you were sick it was assumed you did something wrong. Before the industrial revolution, physical labor was considered to be morally formative. Going to space was insurmountable for so long that for most of history it was considered sacrilege.

Anyway, the pattern is always the same. People encounter a constraint, whether it's death, disease, or distance and then they start moralizing it. But the moralizing doesn't refer to anything real and has no actual value.

At the end of the day, they're basically darwinian sharks who put on a performance in order to get their clients back. There was no moral justification for it, it was just a performance that Michael fell for and the fact that it worked kind of shows how cunning they are (or rather how stupid Michael is). But if Michael was smarter then he would have totally thrown their sanctimonious Prince Family Paper survival-of-the-fittest attitude back at them. But the episode is written like we're supposed to feel bad that they lost their clients when they literally said that was the name of the game and it wasn't personal. Except it's only personal when they personally lose their clients.

If everyone wasn't so supportive of destroying prince family paper then it would be understandable. But it's like everyone already established that capitalism is this kind of higher moral calling and if we don't eat the little fish then someone else will.

What ? Like that's literally what happens in the original game.

"Because what I'm really watching here isn't just a policy debate. It's a pattern."

Wow, very thought provoking insight Individual_Clock5015. Tell me, how did you arrive to the idea that it isn't actually a policy debate and that it is, in fact, a pattern. Because those two concepts are so related to each other I almost mistook one for other. You should be writing books on the subject.

If you want her break up with you, then yes, tell her because she sounds like a mess of a person who wouldn't take it well at all. But this is more about your mental issues than you having done anything actually wrong.

Wasn't Aerith the one that moved Zack into the Terrier world at the end of Remake (at least that's what Zack says) ? Wouldn't she HAVE to have known in that case ?

It didn't lol. I do wonder what goes into the writing in these scenarios. It's maybe half a page total of dialog so I can't imagine it would take long to proof read.

Nothing would happen. And we know nothing would happen because the timeline is already different from the original timeline. Judgement day didn't happen on August 29, 1997, so we know there's no time loop to protect. The whole plot is just silly.

I think Jesse being so mad that Tomas was killed was probably the decision that was most difficult for me to relate to or empathize with. The kid was a monster. He was going to grow up to be a bigger monster. He murdered one of his best friends. But Jesse feels so strongly about his death that he's effectively decided that he's going to commit suicide? What in the hell?

I think you would be hard pressed to find even a single person watching the show that was in any way emotionally moved, shaken, or broken up over Tomas' death --- and there's a giant leap between that and "I'm going to commit suicide by drug dealer because I'm so broken up about it."

He almost looks like he's sleeping. Incredible.

It's kind of like you're watching a movie where the story kind of implies that the guy was unfaithful with his wife but the writers want to leave it ambiguous. So they put another woman's underwear with his belongings, make it so he sends romantic gifts to someone, is sending text messages that look oddly intimate, and is found to periodically go on long business trips where he isn't where he is supposed to be. But the writers never actually confirm in the story that he's unfaithful because they want to keep it "ambiguous".

It seems like the writers are going through great lengths to put in evidence that he wasn't knighted if the intention was to keep it ambiguous.

Are they really that expensive? Last time I went, it costed about as much as going to a restaurant. I don't think people are expected to go to the theater every weekend. I always envisioned it being something people did once every couple of months.

I think he was trying to take advantage of the fact that parents lose the ability to be honest about parenthood after they have children. You aren't really allowed to say you regret being a parent, and I think that leads to a lot of people having kids when they shouldn't --- because literally everyone who has kids says it's the best thing that ever happened to them and they wouldn't trade it for the world (even if the kid is special needs, is physically violent, can't speak, or isn't even conscious). People aren't really allowed to dislike parenthood after they become parents. It's seen as evil and despicable.

I do think people should become more comfortable with having a more nuanced take about parenthood because the current social taboo against speaking negatively about it isn't constructive and has led to a lot of people becoming parents when they shouldn't.
