That was my first thought too. What’s this orb pondering business everyone’s on about?

What I usually love about musicals is the variety of songs and subject matters, and with the exception of the Klingon song, the songs all felt the same.

Not to mention that even if one inventor decides not to release their creation, eventually someone else will make something similar.

Henry George wrote about this extensively. The solution is a tax on all land at just under 100% of it’s rental value. That allows landlords to profit from the structures they build and maintain, but not from the land itself. It disincentivizes real estate speculation, lowering the cost of land and housing and improving accessibility to people who use it productively.

They’re written differently, but pronounced the same.

I vaguely remember seeing a news article about something like that. I think it was a game where killing enemies caused files to be deleted from your computer. It was portrayed as some kind of artistic statement about digital possessions or something.

Someone in the forum where it was being discussed sarcastically said they developed a live action version called “playing baseball inside.”

Yes. If I understand correctly, it’s because the eggs are washed, which strips them of their natural protective coating and causes them to require refrigeration.

My Hero Academia.

It’s also kind of a clever subtle call to action. “If you don’t like this ending, you can change it by changing things in the real world.”

I liked that it at least gave a few nods to the idea that living in a patriarchy isn’t necessarily great for all men either. Not all men have power, and even the ones that do aren’t necessarily happier for it and find themselves competing with other men and restricting their own self-expression. That’s a nuance that’s lost in a lot of pop feminist messaging.

I feel that privilege is a concept that should be applied to classes, not individuals. You can’t just judge someone as privileged based on one aspect of their life.

The whole “punching up” concept just leads to it being accepted to make misogynistic jokes at white women, ablist and body-shaming jokes at “creepy” men, racist jokes at wealthy Asians, and so on.

Rather, I think the intent behind the joke, and the consequences of the stereotypes it reinforces, is what should be examined rather than the demographic on the receiving end.

It’s like how the generations before us knew how to fix cars better than more millennials. They learned because they had to, because their cars needed more maintenance than modern cars. Meanwhile, millennials had computers that needed more maintenance than modern computers, so that’s what we learned.

I like having a keyboard and mouse. Doing things on a smartphone is a last resort.
