    I think cars will be the least of our problems if we go down that path.

    I agree. Also what are the odds it’s going to wrap up in season 2 now and how much story do they have already.

    Thanks, yeah I’ve read the bio but I appreciate the insight. I get your point but I don’t subscribe to anything. I guess they make content for me then and that could probably hurt the original creators financially. It’s a fine line between getting more “exposure” and being taken advantage of. If it weren’t for them I would never have seen the content but then again it shields potential subscribers.

    So I’ve been watching a lot of Qauntum Tech videos on YouTube. It’s soothing and I also learn a bit via the informative text. Are these videos legit or are we in the jungle-boys fake video territory does anyone know? Anyways I like how many different subjects they take on and they’re well made.

    I like it because of the realistic voice acting and general not overly done weirdness if that makes sense. The interaction between characters and small human antics just seems real.

    On the surface maybe but I’m certain it’s just another reason for them to ban people without having to explain much. I have zero faith in their motives.

    Edit: By the way if someone likes the darkish, chantish, melodic maybe a little less extreme metal maybe give Rotting Christ a try. They also fall into the category of not entirely living up to the extreme expectations of their band name.

    I just read up about it because honestly I donate because my dad wanted the money otherwise spend on flowers at his funeral to go to this charity instead. Well as it turns out one of the founders of the association behind it was actually an unpaid apprentice with no other than Patch Adams and that's were he got the idea and proceeded to do a pilot project in 2001. There are now almost 70 trained clowns (they have their own education) associated with the program and they work to strengthen the joy of life and courage in sick and vulnerable children. For free.

    Thank you for your thoughtful recommendation. Note to self: Mention Start Trek when you want more people to join the comment section :)

    Two things stand out for me here among other great points you've made.

    Maybe just the idea that you can be the hero in your own story.

    I really like this phrase because to me it emphasizes the importance of valuing your own story and your own inner value setting. It's about what you tell yourself and not about how you might think other people see you.

    The important thing is to not respond with anything other than curiosity

    I was actually looking for some specific counter arguments in my question but this resonates too much to skip over. I know.. and I know I know but it's damn hard in practice. This might have killed the cat but this also might save humanity.

    It sounds exhausting and it's downright disheartening that we need this capitalistic translation of evidently provable strengths in 2025 and even more so from women.

    Now this is tangible and understandable to me. Thank you!

    At the end of the day, just because something will happen doesn’t mean you should be the one to do it.

    This is actually a great take on Murphy's Law.
    His exact quote is: "If there are two or more ways to do something and one of those results in a catastrophe, then someone will do it that way."

    Lastly, if you aren't watching Common Side Effects, its a great time to tuck in. The episodes fly by and its just an enjoyable experience. I love Martha Kelly, too. Excellent casting. I think we're hitting a pivotable part of the series, so taking a few days to breeze through the first half of the season will pay off.

    Yes! I just watched all available episodes after reading about it here and I love it! I love the unforced quirkiness between the two detectives and Agent Harrington is one of my favorites because I still haven't figured her out and maybe never will. The voice acting is superb and understated and really adds to the realism if you can use that word in animation.

    You certainly make a great case and I'm intrigued now. If I were to delve into that universe which one would you recommend? I value authenticity, great acting, great stories over action and prefer newer to old. Both movies and shows.

    I like and agree with this reasoning but I'm also afraid that this just isn't enough for a lot of people or even on their radar when considering the dilemma.

    Interestingly enough I just attended a lecture about what you call "glue" work but related to feminism. Because the vast majority of glue-work is done by women (and in many cases expected to be done by women) with no monetary compensation or even acknowledgement of just how important this is in a workplace. This resource have yet to be fully recognized and it's been hurting especially women ever since they joined the workforce "equally" to men.
