Right?

When “malignant” progressives like Kyle Kulinski are still fucking addicted to Twitter - they ultimately do more harm than good.

Our “liberal” government is indistinguishable from 80s/90s conservatives.

Comedic actors being desperate to take a dramatic turn often leads to this kind of slop, especially in the case of Will Farrell. There’s a whole era of films he did that’s bizarre and “cringey”, including that insane Woody Allen film. He said the lifetime movie was a satire…but there’s a certain amount of hubris involved in believing he could pull it off.

I didn’t know where you were going to go with this…and I’m confused by the rest your post.

…I was going to say everything in the Tom Clancy universe was slop.

Thanks a ton. I was really struggling with the transition when using a few of the above mentioned apps…before I settled on Blorp.

I was going to tell you to go back and look…but I went back and looked to make sure…on a bigger screen…and I was wrong: It wasn’t as clear they were bodies…so yeah, we’ll wait and see!

Totally fine!

…as I was saying in another thread, it’s just a little annoying that she didn’t bother to ask what the oil was for…an artificial delay for suspense. It doesn’t ruin the show…but feels contrived.

…but she didn’t. She had them transcribe a message where she tells the others everything she knows about the olive oil…

…but we can see all the human bodies under the tarps before she looks…

Yeah…that’s what I was saying in another thread…so far we have a combination of a few old sci fi themes.

Just ask in a voicemail. They already know she knows about it and is trying to figure it out…they’d either answer or they wouldn’t.

Like…so much was made from a non-answer before…so she’d care at least how they answered the question, even if they didn’t answer it directly. Of they’d give her a nuke…maybe they’d give her the recipe for the olive oil. Or she’d get ghosted…and be no further behind.

Its not ruining the show or anything…it’s just a Jenga piece pulled out. Know what I mean?

Oh yeah…I thought it was obvious that we’re supposed to believe they’re eating the bodies. It was telegraphed by the canines trying to dig up the corpse (provided animals have a basic link to Pluribus).

I assumed the “something” she saw was a body…maybe even one she recognized, considering the room was full of bodies lol.

I’m more at the stage “where are we going with this?”…doesn’t seem like anywhere. Basic sci fi tropes, so far…even if extremely well executed. It bothers me that she didn’t just ask what the liquid was for…seems like a pretty huge plot convenience to delay exposition.

Agreed, I’m enjoying it and it’s definitely high quality…I’ll see it through.

This was just the first episode that had me scratching my head as to what she will and won’t ask Pluribus to do. She’ll have them transcribe her plan to “cure” them…but won’t just ask what the liquid is? It approaches a plot hole…even if it’s super interesting.

ETA: The last bit of Severance was definitely a stretch…reminded me of Maybe from Arrested Development: “Nobody will know what the hell happened, but they’ll say they like it because they don’t want to sound stupid.”

I doubt it.

Gen X Features Musk, Bezos and Joe Rogan. Can’t think of any significant leftists ATM (I could if I took more time and didn’t have confirmation bias for the purposes of this response, lol). AOC & Mandahmi…Millenials.

Note: I’m Gen X.

Me too…but we’re outliers.

SO many people who I thought were cool turned out to be morons…an alarming amount of them were radicalized in the pandemic. Even many of the people I know that think they’re devout leftists seem to feel they need to have one or more “edgy” views that cause them to caucus with radical centrists or right wingers. Like…my bi hippie friend started voting conservative because Palestine…my own lefty brother started voting conservative because of guns. Just found out a very poor ex girlfriend voted conservative because of right wing views on addiction. Then you have all the insane tankies…if you explained horshoe theory to them their heads might explode from the cognitive dissonance.

It’s because Gen X (my generation) turned out to be so grotesque.
