Yes but in the beginning in the podcast the purgatory theory already came up and they were like “noooo that’s not what we’re doing”.

And yes I don’t like Abrams stuff much for that reason. At least he’s got the right name, his work is really like a main battle tank, it’s all about the explosions and brute force, not finesse.

Was there a plot? I’m pretty sure they said they were just making it all up as they went along. Thats why the story was so disjointed at the end.

I can imagine that! I’m sorry it’s so common there 😔

Good point. It’s just a slur. I take things too literally sometimes

Yeah I didn’t want to mention that because I don’t like to share them nonconsensually. I also mark them as NSFW of course. At the instance I post them they’re welcomed. But yes my username checks out. 🤭

I’m in Europe, circumcision is very rare here.

I probably should make a separate account though to post SFW. Thanks for the reminder

Well I’m a guy. Heteroflexible and pretty open though so I don’t mind dick pics.

In fact the instance I’m on is full of them :)

Wow you are a girl and you’ve next got one? All of my female friends get them constantly.

What I get a lot is “young girls” saying they’re sooo interested in me. With profiles that were just created. I’m sure they’re actually a hairy guy named Pyotr.

Umm technically by ignoring them she is the opposite of a slut. Just saying.

Not that there’s anything wrong with sluts. I’m very slutty myself.

Funny thing is, in 1792 $10 would have been a big load of money

I’m against it but I just found that BSD doesn’t have it and I fits me better than Linux in many other ways too.

So there’s just no need left to debate :)

True all I know is the above. But that’s a year ago now…

Yeah she’s ok but I miss her content too 😢

Individualism is kinda the opposite of confucianism. Confucianism teaches that an individual is worth nothing and they must give all to family and state. I don’t agree with that. I deeply believe in thriving through self-exploration, free from peer pressure and especially religious dogma.

I wasn’t directly thinking about work ethic there, I just really hate the basic principles of Confucianism. I feel it’s restricting people. In the western world we have the same things, but they come from religions and conservatism instead (see the hate against trans people these days in the US). They’re also not as strongly embedded into society as they are in Confucian countries as far as I can tell. We value individualism a lot more, especially on the leftish/progressive side.

The reason I mentioned it is because Confucianism is often idolised in the Western world (“look there in China / Korea they still care about each other!”) but it’s also a terrible straightjacket for people not able or willing to conform to whatever stuff their society expects. Because people that impose rules upon themselves tend to want to impose those rules upon others even those that don’t share their belief.

I don’t mind others having belief systems but let me have none. And that’s really the part where things tend to not work out.

I really don’t like the new shows either. They’re too flashy, it’s all about the spectacle.

Try the Orville though. It’s what TNG was but modern and with a bit more humour. I think it’s amazing.

It doesn’t sound like the kind of work ethic I want to learn. That’s basically voluntary slavery.

Individualism is great.

Popcorn Time streamed using bittorrent, so it’s not impossible :)

Thanks! I can’t unsee it but I like it more now 😆

Thanks 😊 I’m in a period of high personal change so it just comes with the territory I guess. I’m glad it improved for you!
