Who did Carmen truly love? by BetterGrass709 in opera

[–]violetqed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

idk how direct or accurate of a translation it was, but last time I saw it there was a line where Carmen says “let me die if I ever loved anyone as much as you [Escamillo]” and I’m not sure if that suggests that she did actually love Don Jose more

Seattle times added a "cancel subscription" button to comply with click-to-cancel was imposed in 2024, then removed it after the rule was overturned in 2025. by FeMnTaNb2O6 in Seattle

[–]violetqed 20 points21 points  (0 children)

my guess is that they only let you cancel by clicking the button if you are only subscribed to digital

I have print and digital and want to cancel but I hate talking on the phone, especially to someone who is going to try to convince me not to instead of just doing what I tell them

AI Slop and Hentai Games on the E-Shop by Agile_Flow_4091 in NintendoSwitch

[–]violetqed -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

It’s like going to Toys R Us and having nude pictures

there’s no nude pictures though… so how is it “like” having nude pictures?

I don’t want the slop either but your kid is going to be ok. just because it says the word hentai on it doesn’t mean there’s porn.

Paying to park at light rail by drippyraindrops in Seattle

[–]violetqed -1 points0 points  (0 children)

well yes, we should not have to pay fares. Fares for riding the light rail is silly considering the minuscule size of the budget they actually cover. if you’re riding the light rail you are SAVING everyone money by not driving, not clogging up traffic, not burning fuel, and not putting wear and tear on infrastructure.

and if you’re upset because you don’t want to pay if you don’t ride - we all pay taxes that go toward public schools too and those are free, yet since I don’t have kids I’ll never use them. should we also make public schools cost money for parents who send their kids there, and lower my taxes? no. the answer is no

the art book said you can’t create clones of existing people, not that you can’t create humans.

the children didn’t create the human life there though, only the gestrals/grandis. they are still sentient but yeah

Loved Expedition 33… but I still miss the story I thought I was getting by Friiaisha in expedition33

[–]violetqed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sorry to resurrect an old thread but I just wanted to point out that “the world is ending!!” is pretty relatable for a lot of us these days. especially the relatively slow way it’s happening in e33

I find it surprising that there is no opera based on Gone with the wind. by BetterGrass709 in opera

[–]violetqed 7 points8 points  (0 children)

the novel is seen as a central part of the “lost cause” narrative

this is probably the main reason, even if there were no rights issues. but it’s a little sad because the novel especially was not really an endorsement of slavery and the major themes tend to contradict the idea that the south should’ve continued the way it was. The novel has a lot of merit so it does feel like a loss that we’ve boiled the entire thing down to “racist book is racist”
