The acting of the hybrid characters is phenomenal, especially Smee. The dialogue and mannerisms are almost surreal to watch.

It’s fine, even good, for a show to build out its world by focusing on different parts of it. As said above, the premise of a show about androids, corporations, and new xenos is solid. The writing and direction are the failures here.

Thank you for this comment. I do hope that the instance continues to be an inclusive place for trans folks and their allies. I’d like to clarify that I didn’t intend to make anyone feel they needed to defend their identity; the fact that my message was poorly worded was the cause of that.
Cards on the table, I’m someone many would consider an egg. I’m a cis male, but I’ve always felt more comfortable talking with women, and have always felt that I wished I’d been born female (I’ve never had dysphoria though). After a lot of discussions with the trans community, I came to see that I’m ultimately comfortable with who I am.
So when I make statements to the tune of “It’s important to some people that their trans identity is recognized”, it comes from the heart. Again, I recognize that I initially worded that in probably the worst way, and I apologize sincerely to anyone I offended.

I’d really like to appeal it because I like several of the communities there. I also recognize that I was on a meme sub and people aren’t there to defend their identity with a stranger - there’s a time and a place. It was a post about unity and inclusion, and my gripe about an implication of the message wasn’t worth ruffling feathers.

But thank you for the comment, the instance didn’t seem to mention anything about messaging mods or appeals, and I wasn’t sure if there was some fediverse-wide method.

Same boat (other aisle) for me! The fact that some people are… pre-disposed to this is–at the very least–meaningful.

Elle Fanning is incredible in everything she’s been in, so that may be a factor

Humans can’t stop anthropomorphizing AI. An easier explanation is that LLMs are reward oriented based on successful results and have no risk aversion or fatigue, so they can just keep doing something until they ‘win big’.

Yup. Harris would be carrying out fewer international drone strikes, but it definitely wouldn’t be zero.

Gender-affirming sexual harassment!

Player Character by Edgar Wright. The dialogue would have to be embellished and it would bomb anyway, but it might not be awful.

It clearly says “plant identification”~
