That's why I ask if they want the full in depth explanation or the short one. Well it happened once during Dune so far, she asked for the full one. I can't even recall the question but she thought it made more sense after at least, maybe to do with blade fighting and shields, they really hammer it in the novels. Though to be fair any Dune explanation sounds better from the books than either movie, okay I haven't seen the last half of Lynch's Dune in decades but the first half didn't explain things well so I don't expect the last half to be better from my fuzzy memory.

Dune may be a bit of a special case compared to the franchises listed too.

I don't have much to say on Horgan but I have usually voted NDP for BC elections so I voted for him in the past.

Regarding Star Trek I imagine there's some correlation for liberal views and Star Trek but it probably comes down to how you watch it. I recall seeing either a meme format or article about Dax's (Deep Space 9 episode for those unfamiliar) female kiss and apparently they got a lot of people calling in with hate for it. The other part was the people who wrote in tended to show support for the scene. So it seems like it comes down to how you view what you watch. I'm not sure what impact the series has on me exactly but I do know I like how the TNG makes their ideals look and I watched it every Friday(think that was the day) that I could when it was new.

Isn't it weird the Republican nominees don't laugh like most people?I haven't watched much of Vance to notice this but since they're ragging on Harris for laughing I bet that's a big bullet point to avoid when he's in public.

*raped, he would have raped her.

I'm sure all guys talk about how much their partner reminds them of their daughter (according to Stormy Daniels which I believe) how presidential

The upside of having no real stances is you can throw stuff at the wall and see what sticks towards your benefit.

Also an upside of never implementing what you promised it doesn't matter what you said last.

Every once in awhile these sort of posts make me introspective, they say almost exactly the same as my opinion about what I think of far right conservatives. Then I remember I'm not the one oppressing people and want to accept everyone as long as they don't bring intolerance.

I thought the message of the comic was that we need to change society to better manage our mental health better not that medication was bad. Like we prop up our society on medication to get people to handle it. But I don't get messages like that clearly so may be wrong.

He played the best straight man (comedywise) as a gay character. I always thought that was one of the best jokes in the show.

The Republican party: please see us as the victims even if we've directly cultivated this outcome. How would we know it may cause us problems and not the Democrats? Seriously this isn't our fault, the government is only on hold due to Democrats not voting for a speaker. Send donations so we can get more Republicans to argue with next term.

I'm a Canadian who doesn't pay much attention to hockey (yeah I know), but fuck this decision. Everyone should be for inclusive rights to all members of society who respect others. No ands ifs or buts. Fuck people who don't agree, it's not in your face it's just people wanting to be treated as equals you fuckers. I'd say heaven forbid we welcome different people but that's already in the bible, not that these people read it.

I was so disappointed when Gaetz (almost forgot to include the name, have to be specific when talking about Republicans) wasn't charged after all the venmo stuff came out. Like it seemed there was evidence that he should have at least been charged and had a trial. Unless I missed something else after that completely absolved him of ties with the sex trafficking guy who he was apparently buddy with.

So with wildfires in Canada there's evacuation zones near me, but I can't click on some announcement links from the main site that shows the evacuation zones because they go to twitter and you need to log in now. I think they show some on other pages on the site but they do the quicklink to the twitter announcement in the sidebar so you have to click around a bit to get to it. Yes I know the name but whatever. My point being is when the social media site that was meant for short bits of info isn't good for emergency notifications where everyone can read, it's shitty and potentially harmful.
