363·1 year agoI find many of these shows and movies that are accused of being woke is because they create protagonists without flaws, out of fear of making non traditional characters look bad I guess? But protagonists without flaws are boring.
I’m trying to think what Burnham’s fatal flaw is, or her deadly sin. It’s mostly stuff that has happened to her and she has to overcome but that’s not the same thing. Interesting protagonist have flaws like hubris, vice, hypocrisy, greed, something that makes them more real. You look at characters like Rey from star wars and again, flawless except for her past, which again is something that happened to her not something she is.
That’s why people didn’t like when Han Solo didn’t shoot first. Yes Han Solo is overall a good guy, but he’s also ruthless and a gangster when we meet him. If he’s already a flawless good guy at the start,that just sucks. Anakin as well, good but arrogant and controlling

I hate Elden Ring. But I don’t go on Elden Ring communities just to shit on it
Stupid American. There’s no natives or Indians anywhere but the u.s right? Not like the entirety of the Americas is populated with native peoples, despite your best efforts to eradicate us. Damn you’re seriously stupid, or racist, or both. Literally every country on this continent has us.
When I grew up evangelical, I was told that it didn’t matter because god was going to renew the earth when he shows up any second now.
That’s what they believe, that climate change is a distraction and we shouldn’t worry cause god will just medically deal with it
Being a guerrilla woman is tough. My friend’s mom told us stories about when she used to be a fighter. Her and her husband joined the Communist guerillas in Central America and were living in the jungle for a few years. Decades later she still has health issues from the contaminated water they were drinking most of the time. What’s worse is she told us how women were treated like objects in the guerilla army. Didn’t matter if you were married, if the commander or officers wanted you that night, it was an order, didn’t matter what you or your husband thought of it, they were told it was their duty to let it happen

11·1 year agoI’ve managed to get a hold of 3 of the old ones through garage or estate sales, but yeah the ones that are brand new have plastic parts in them which drives me crazy. But you can at least 3d print what you’re missing

211·1 year agoGotta be the KitchenAid mixers no? Especially the older ones. I have a friend that has one from his grandma that’s over 50 years old. If anything breaks, it’s usually a gear or something simple to fix, and the parts are easy to buy and generally cheap.

11·1 year agoI bought earbuds in flesh color. I tend to only ever have one on to stay alert and I listen to podcasts. I’m not ashamed to admit that I bought them in flesh color so that I can pretend it’s a hearing aid so I can ignore strangers on transit. I like to pretend like it’s off and I can’t hear you

47·1 year agoUsed to work at a warehouse driving lift trucks and forklifts. One guy out of nowhere turns into an aisle and smashes into a stack of 50" tvs. And this was back in the day when those things were like $2k each.
We go check on it and dude reeks of spiced rum. The stinkiest of liquors. He is shit faced. He had a bottle in his locker and kept going back for more. Fired on the spot.
Tbf that warehouse was wild, half the employees were ex cons and everyone was always doing stupid stuff

3·1 year agoI’m sooooo close with French. I just need to buckle down for like a couple weeks and I’ll be fluent I think. I’ve always heard that’s a good one.
I dunno about useful but Japanese is beautiful and I want to learn it
