Yeah there’s definitely an element to the flavor that seems like something artificial that you aren’t supposed to eat… like you plucked a piece of rubber off of something and put it in your mouth lmao

No it didn’t, or I would have held off regardless I just wanted to wait for my tax refund to be a bit cozier, but I had the money… just didn’t want to end up spending a lot more lol

I was wanting to wait a while longer on the Retroid Pocket 5 for financial reasons, but the tariffs spooked me that something like this might happen or the price would go way up so I ended up buying one a couple days ago just in case

Ive never been able to explain it to people. I don’t quite understand it myself. But the analogy is accurate and I agree

Okay but, hear me out—are we not going to look back one day and feel that it was really fucking weird that we had a cop show dedicated entirely to rape? Maybe I’m thinking about it all wrong but that seems exploitative in a weirdly fetishistic way

That’s my fetish

Yeah if that’s really what this is then it’s really weird and unnecessary… what’s wrong with just subtitles and/or voiceover for the hearing impaired? What is the point of making it look like he’s speaking English?

I had no idea that he wrote any horror… but that’s a pretty cool story

Actually his name was Satan, not Tom

/s

I’m sure it’s good OP, and that’s what matters. However

I wouldn’t mind if it doesn’t feature Mulder and Sculley at all, and has a much smaller focus on aliens, and less mytharcs. Either way I like the idea of new characters and new stories. There a lot of more recent material in technology to delve into as great potential for exploring a lot of newer social norms, lifestyles, gender identities, internet cultures, ideologies, and more through a supernatural lens

Honestly I wouldn’t say that they are extremely sexually liberal, just that their very niche pornography culture is over-represented in western media while actually being very looked down upon by their actual society itself

It’s the concept of a foreign party stealing/defacing a cultural treasure and a national icon. To some it probably feels offensive in a personal way with that classic flavor imperialist cultural appropriation. Which I can see the argument for, even if I do think it’s overly focused on a single episode instead of the greater AI issues at hand

Yeah it’s a relief. On your point though I would be surprised if they literally thought he was dead up until that point

God dammit you beat me to it

Okay so fuck rich people destroying the planet with private air travel—however, he was still statistically more likely to die from driving that day. And so was his daughter and the other innocent kids on that flight

I mean this happens all the time in black and other minority communities, has even been on the news several times over the last few years, and literally nothing happens. I guess he just pissed off the wrong white family with enough resources or pull to do something about it. It’s terrible what happened to this guy but it’s been equally tragic every time it happened to a non-white person, and it’s unfortunate that this gets so more coverage

Like what?
