This is something that bothers me. Every time something like this come up, there is a non-trivial crowd of people saying things like “no shit. In the right circle, everyone known for a long time”. Often they come with specific anecdotes that should raise all the red flags.

Well, I had no idea. Not a clue. And it’s not like I was not interested. I was fallowing his work, social media… live in general. He was a very close friend with a woman who was vocal about being an abuse victim. Nobody told her?

Even in the power of hindsight, when I was looking for articles or comments from the past, there was not a lot. I found like one, “there is nothing he wouldn’t do to lure a goth girl” (paraphrased), that got zero traction.

If there were signs, why did we let that happen? What can I do, not to fall for something like this again?

Predator.

I’ll look into it. Appreciate your time, thank you. I’m going to search “what instance would Brannan Lee Mulligan choose” and see where this get me ;) see you on the other side.

Thank you. I need to find new instance for myself because lemme.ee. can you tell me why you chose blahaj.zone? I don’t want to support Russia in any way or form. It should be boycotted.

But I also think that crony capitalism will be our downfall. I try to reduce my reliance on US-based products, serviced and culture. Especially, on giants like google, disney, MS, etc. Boycotting US until they rethink they approach to allies like Canada, EU and Ukraine is also called for.

If you don’t mind, what would you recommend to someone who would like their revolution with no gulags?

What was your concern with lemmy.ml?

Neil Gaiman. He poisoned so much…

I watched it yesterday for the 2nd time (first time with my son). We laugh, we cried, we danced, we were shouting out loud and watched final battle standing on our feet. I unironically think it’s an excellent sport movie.

Wait, what are you saying. There is.a.dooferent movie named “first conact”? (Google didn’t help me)

This is my favorite movie. It’s the best that was ever written about mindfulness.

Ser (pronounced like in “Yes, sir!”)

Oh Man, the number of times I deleted something because of the notification on top that shift everything down… Drives me mad.

Noted. Thanks.

What are tankies?

There is something distopian in using bilionare as the metonym.

That’s a disturbingly good point.

One the other hand, we have a lot of evidence that young human males are very horny… I don’t think it takes away from original Spock’s “maybe I’m suppressing more than I should” arc. It ads to it. And writing prequels is always hard, because your characters can’t evolve above certain point. The need to end low, because low is where they started TOS - their journey need to happen there. Most are basically pointless and lead nowhere. Young Sheldon can’t learn his lessons and grow because old Sheldon need to start broken.

Having secret “there is more story behind his silence and cold indifference” is a great way to have the arc and not brake the arc.

I believe that idea behind it is that his future TOS restrain is - partially - caused by his unhealed emotional wounds that he gained during his youth.

I only wish I ever learned who’s the mother and how he met her…

I 99 cases out of 100 it’s not writers. It executives.
