I don't believe either of those will happen.

Hopefully this will show the world that they are a bad idea. The price will be in blood, of course.

It took a while to capture my attention as Season 1 did, but, as you say, it would have been a mistake to drop the series. Every season is different, every season is brilliant.

I stopped watching Parenthood when something reminded me that Erika Christensen is a Scientologist.

TV shows in the US are criticized for that.

You can do a fun experiment to notice this plainly. Watch the first season of Broadchurch (brilliant British series). Every person is a believable, next-door looking person. Even the proverbial beautiful woman of the town is played by Jodie Whittaker, who is beautiful but not stereotypically so. The main character is David Tennant, who is attractive but quirky looking, and his partner is Olivia Colman, talented and normal looking. She's perfect to play a cop who aspires to advance in her career but hasn't been able to. And her character is magistrally played.

Now watch the only season of the USian remake, Gracepoint.

Tennant is the only actor returning in that version. His partner is Anna Gunn, for crying out loud. She's stereotypically gorgeous, she looks more like a former model that like a career cop. The "proverbial beautiful woman of the town" looks like a porcelain doll. (And her husband is from a token minority, another posturing you won't see so clumsily done in a British series. They are more naturally varied in casting.) After seeing Broadchurch, all the cast of Gracepoint look like molded plastic.

Your body is 40. You're still 12.

Thank you for your sane words.

And the scarcity of real good men.

Certain nations have a real lack of those.

The question is valid, but it's also valid to remember that most of those humans will never know you, and among those who will, most won't give a damn about you, and among those who do, very few will love you, and among those, you will love even less of them.

Even so, the number is probably not zero. But it can take some time to find out.

Am christian and i’m sick of it. Get your bullshit out of My faith.

I agree with the rejection of pro-cristian privilege, but as an atheist I say "get your religion out of everything except your private worship". That includes revoking tax exception for any religion or cult.

And religions too.

I think they're less likely to be racist; OTOH what in the US qualifies as "left wing" would be right of center in the rest of the world.

 

When I open a post with a monochrome image, the full image appears reversed.

Scenario (steps to reproduce)

  1. Open a post with a monochrome image. E.g. https://lemmy.ca/post/4205892 . Preview appears OK

  2. Open the picture. It shows briefly as-is and then it reverses itself.
