No that's a fair assessment, it really does feel like he's being keep in reserve for later.

Now that I think about it Curie while jumping from feminine robot Miss Nanny to Female Synth doesn’t ever really strongly identify as being a woman. She’s probably still a feminine non binary.
An example, well meaning, but wrong!
I think Whitmer with Pritzker would be a good combo, both Midwest governors, sure but that’s actually an important area that can swing versus Harris and Newsome both from California (and one would have to move their address because VP and President from same state invalidates that states electoral votes).
Both libs but less ghoulish. Even if Pritzker is a billionaire (weirdly does progressive stuff because doesn’t have to worry about retirement).
Or Kamala Pritzker. She’s bad but I think could be better than Biden and Pritzker is a white middle aged midwestern billionaire so that reassures conservatives a bit.
In between that there is the use of the word for uniformed soldiers fighting with guerilla/partisan tactics. It’s mainly shitty colonial countries like England, Australia, Portugal, Netherlands etc but it made it’s way through them to many African and Asian countries where their special forces will often be called commandos too.
Playing fallout 4 I love KLEO, the gun selling lady in good neighbour who was assigned assaultron at birth. She’s trans AF, funny, deadly, sexy etc.
I went down a rabbit hole of reactions from reddit etc at the time the game was released. And everyone is so wrong, no she’s not offensive representation, she’s actually super cool. A woman is still a woman even with a metal body and beam laser head.
No all assaultrons aren’t automatically women either, yes they’re feminine but in a non binary robot kind of way, KLEO identifies as a woman in a way PAM, Ada and all other assaultrons you meet don’t. She will push back and challenge you if you say she’s just a robot.
Thanks I’m happy where I am, I row about 10 hours a month and recumbent cycle another 10. My legs are pretty huge but my arms look like noodles until I’m flex then they look jacked.
I’ve been trying, I’ve been rowing since 2021, but all that is happening is incredible fitness and being leanly muscular.
I’d probably wait for the last three eps before recommending. Though it’s probably fine as a stand-alone too.
The episode is good, great saber fights, martial arts stuff, twists and deaths. If it keeps up the pace it’s the second best show they’ve made, but it might just be one good episode, in a bunch of meh.
The latest episode was good. But until that snoozefest.
Neat. Yeah the chuds are complaining about the Acoylte but I like the way it shows there's random other force users floating about. Splinter Jedi. Random Witches (who are not the Dathomir kind) who call the force "the thread".
Even the big villain it's not clear if they're actual Sith, a Sith wannabe, a Sith impersonator etc.
::: spoiler Had real positive moment of clarity about my gender the other day. (CW intrusive dysphoric thought, NSFW) As some might recall their @ComradeEchidna/Platypus lore, I do softcore bdsm photography modelling (for myself via self-photography it's a whole thing). So I've also seen a lot of bdsm photography of different genders, cis/trans, etc And I was thinking about the phenomena of old sad looking cis crossdressers. You see them on deviant art etc. Just look tragic, sad eyes, awkward looking, etc. And I had an intrusive thought "what's the difference between them and you?". Like felt pretty brutal.
So then I went to look at some stuff I'd done months ago, not recently, and I looked at it with some time and slightly more objectivity and I was like "woah I just see a woman there!". And I was like huh, lightbulb. Not I could possibly be a woman someday if I put in the work, but like I can be a woman right now (or have been in the past too).
At least some of the time, because I'm still thinking a sort of Genderfluid/Non binary situation but maybe somewhat more bigender IDK? Anyway it left me feeling pretty zen and less anxious.
