Have you tried being a redheaded high-femme ecoterrorist instead?

Is this intro coming from a Trotskyist perspective, or is something else going on with it?

It was okay. I didn't feel like it was necessary, but the plotting was not bad, and they gave Trinity more agency and importance. Stream it if it's on a service you already subscribe to, pirate it otherwise.

spoilerI pondered this heavily when I was introduced to TF media in my late 20s and early 30s. Came out with the decision that I'm a mildly gender nonconforming cis man. I don't feel any gender very strongly, but I don't know if that's just because masculinity is 'unmarked' in the culture I live in.

US government "confirms" conspiracy theory they've been seeding to gullable journalists for 8 years; blames it on opponent in ongoing proxy war.

You're eligible to receive a kidney if you've operated a small business in a disadvantaged community for five years. The kidney will be delivered as a tax credit.

Black Mirror: Metalhead (trailer)

This is my main association with robot "dogs": a depopulated warzone with autonomous murder drones scattered around like reusable landmines.

So, you do get used to it. The parentheses aren't any more distracting or pervasive than the mix of parentheses and brackets in C-like languages, they're just more uniform. The big syntax difference is that there are no infix operators, only functions.

So, the macro systems in Lisp and its cousins actually are a lot more powerful than text-manipulating macro systems like C. The reason is that without infix operators, and with the syntax being so regular, the structure of the source code is identical to the code's abstract syntax tree. So your macros can effectively manipulate the AST rather than the not-yet-parsed source code. But I don't even really write macros very often, and I still appreciate the consistent syntax compared to the complexity of something like Rust.
