oh no! That would be terrible but I could see it. I think going forward she might be the only one who can introduce humor in stressful situations (kinda like the guardians Drax). There’s some good banter between Agatha and Teen but that’s more for peaceful times.
Shout out to zabadoh@ani.social for directing me here. For some reason his comment doesn’t show up on a post I made about this show (guessing our instances are defederated from eachother or something).
I didn’t enjoy the episode so much, I thought the introduction with Aubrey Plaza was unnecessary. I would’ve liked them to take the time and introduce the teen more and showcasing his charisma and cunningness that comes out of nowhere for episode 2. He was the one who started breaking her out of the spell so should’ve been the one to talk her out of it while she was shedding her layers of it.
Then cue the fight scene, lackluster and the ending just seemed off with Agatha’s back and forth character switching and then them just dropping the fight. Could’ve used the time with expanding on her fantasy and the differences in reality, like the library scene could’ve been really funny seeing how it really played out while she was stuck in the spell. I’m so glad they released the second episode because it feels like a huge stark contrast between “marvel plots” and the new possibility of the witches storyline and themes.
I posted up about it in the c/movies@lemm.ee community. Agatha All Along, the only marvel show I’ll probably give a try this year.
tl;dr Episode 1, a little rough going down and finding it’s footing. Episode 2, really has me excited for a real witch show about witches (doesn’t feel like Marvel). Episode 3 drops tonight.
If you liked wandavision and enjoyed the original Hocus Pocus I would suggest jumping on the train if you’re looking for something new to watch. I’m just now watching reviews on it (like to wait, didn’t even know angry joe already has a video) and finding out people are divisive on it for apparently gay characters, but I only picked up on one off-handed comment about a bf lol.
I unfortunately have the same feeling. Around Iphone 4 or so (when they were a lot smaller and sleeker) I got a slim phone case that could hold a card and my ID. It felt so nice going on a trip with only that in my pocket (not having to worry about if I feel my wallet in my back pocket, etc) but I couldn’t get over the fact that if I lost the phone I would be utterly screwed and a long way from home. Tend to always have a back-up now adays since I don’t want to have to put up with that.
I suppose I used to but it was mostly around like a pool or something that would cool you off. If I’m working all day and sweating my ass off though I’ll turn down a beer for lunch for some water lol.
I’m doing it right now, I’m asking if you’re doing okay. I’m actively trying atm. I’ll assume you are and go about my day I suppose.
yeah oven is my go-to, need to try the air fryer suggestion from @peopleproblems@lemmy.world though. But I mean I’m not expecting miracles, anything that’s been reheated after days isn’t gonna be like when it’s fresh.
I’ve been online for like 30 minutes and every post I’m going into has you arguing with someone. Are you doing alright today?
ok but you people need to start dropping ideas on how to rehydrate and cover some of the stale taste from days old pizza without ranch. I’ll sometimes do a couple of dabs of hot sauce but it makes the crust weird when you’re reheating it for some reason.
oh wow, I’m usually the complete opposite lol. When it gets hot out I’m not interested in a drink because I’m just gonna get hotter. Give me a splash in a warm coffee though for an afternoon pick-me-up when I’m tinkering into the winter nights sounds nice (especially if your hands are freezing).
In the link comment I provided I did state it was a far off miracle. But, my focus was less on 3rd parties or electoral reform, it was directly related to the “National Committees” that exists. I’m all for state parties, reminds me of when Bell was split into it’s different areas. But on a national level I wonder if it can be argued that it’s so far removed from focusing on “political ideologies of it’s group” to becoming a service provider for selected candidates. You could look at the committee’s structures, are they even following their own political ideologies, what type of controlling power they have, etc etc.
This question was less about electoral practices are more about a single entity controlling the national level of it’s party. I feel the function of these at a national level, can be argued as an organization/company which controls the market for their party. What “political party” protections are there and what distinguishes them from any other organization that could be regulated by the anti-competitive laws. I feel they are political in name only, and can truly be academically and legally viewed as a business (which supports mainly political clients).
Looking at an entire political spectrum and there being only a Duopoly is heart breaking. But I meant more like each one is a true “business monopoly” for it’s own perspective market/party. Controlling exposure, funding, data, candidate selection, being generally a lobbying middleman group, at what point does this become less a “political ideological group” and more a business organization that focuses heavily on political candidates? (like a sign manufacturer is technically making political content, but they’re still just a business, they’re both providing a service or product to individuals).
This is not so much a focus on political parties or ideologies, but more the NC (national committee) portion of it. I understand state political parties. But when expanded to the national committee’s of those parties, how are those organizations not considered a monopoly for their parties centralizing and controlling the state level and have completely overtaken national decisions which can effect the state level as well.
I definitely wouldn’t suggest that people need to run out with friends and drink copious amounts of alcohol. A night at the bar can be fun, but keeping that as an activity that a friend group commits to repeatedly isn’t a healthy setting (for instance alcoholism effects 10% of the population).
That being said, there are a lot of constructive uses with alcoholic beverages such as cooking and really unique flavor profiles. Some of the mixtures that are 90%+ non-alcoholic have interesting tastes that you just can’t recreate without the alcohol changing subtle differences in what’s present. Definitely respect your choice not to drink though, just throwing this out there as a healthier alternative than binge drinking for those who do want to try.
NNOO!!! Matrix was a documentary though!! /s But seriously though, if I were Keanu I would steer really wide and far from anything like this because of the semi-cult following he got from the movies. There was borderline problems with people conflicting the metaphors of the movie to actually say it’s reality and we are trapped. Like it’s a cool hypothesis and explains some things easily like religion, but takes all the fun out of actually researching or discovering something universe shattering like that.
The AI went back in time and changed what was posted. Saw it happen to a guy in NC last week.
if you ever watch a documentary of the great pacific garbage patch it usually shows the most rampant and dangerous items from aquatic life tends to be discarded fishing nets. They all suck though, just nets suck more and get cut off all the time.
Well of course you’re not going to see anything negative on a show recorded and produced by the person you’re talking about. Historical sites aren’t just about the infrastructure/items, it’s about honoring the memories and past lives/accomplishments of our ancestors. In regards to the “snake” banning, that site already was embarrassed by a previous recording of ancient aliens, and historical sites have learned not to let organizations and promoters take over and misrepresent the cause and importance of those sites. From my understand they don’t even let in people like NPR, they are there as an educational resource and not to be hijacked as proof for a theory they don’t represent.
Now if it was an actual scientist working on a scientific research paper? Sure, be outraged. A guy trying to film a show looking for evidence to prove a hypothesis? (not how the scientific method works) Completely delusional to get upset about it.
Just wanted to throw in my reality living in a rural area and all the factors that lead into the same problem we have around here.
The walk to my middle school was 1 1/2 hours, 2 when distracted. All 4 lane highways, with no sidewalks. Bus drivers are in high demand with low pay/part time, bus routes can easily go into a 3 hour ride in the afternoon. There is typically 1 highschool per county (must keep the roster pool available for the sports teams), we’re talking a 42 minute straight drive just to get there (so you can sit in trailers because they’re over capacity).
They need to up the bus driver pay, de-stigmatize the position with people who are getting more than fair compensation so they can be proud of their work and a community member who very much actually, physically, is in the world of the growing citizens. Have an assistant who helps with the route and manages the adolescent children (bus shit was wild back in my day, like 3rd base shenanigans going on and I doubt it’s stopped).
I guarantee you, no one having to drive through that shit-storm is enjoying or wanting that experience. Everyone’s anxiety is high and they’re still half asleep in the morning, with the potential to accidentally injure a child before you even get to work. Some of the counties have improved with better traffic techniques like time-regulated flow, roundabouts, and traffic assistants. But, it’s still so depressing and makes you feel like you’re in some industrial meat processing plant line.
It sucks either way. Having your kid get home at 6pm to start on homework (no internet on the bus, most assignments require connectivity) which can take hours, feed them, make sure they get ready for bed by 8-9, then start again at 5am because the bus shows up ass early before the world wakes up. Real public transit doesn’t exist in a 80 mile radius around here, so there’s really no other currently available options besides all the crappy scenarios being told that everyone rightfully hates.
