Yesterday I re-watched Copycat. Part of the suspense fell on the main character not having a cell phone and the would-be killer cutting the land line.

It felt... weird.

And yes, it was old 😢

They give me more and more reasons to stay on W10 until I give up games and move to Linux permanently.

I'll miss my TCMD scripting, though. But besides that and gaming, most of what I do nowadays is cross-platform.

Read https://www.talkorigins.org/indexcc/ and learn something.

Your comment reveals you don't have a clue how science works.

They are showing their true selves because they're not receiving social censure or they do care about it and they dismiss it as "the woke mind virus".

I guess some value being kept women over everything else. More so if their minds are polluted by religion.

That article is reason enough to like the guy, if one didn't like him before.

It took a while to capture my attention as Season 1 did, but, as you say, it would have been a mistake to drop the series. Every season is different, every season is brilliant.

I stopped watching Parenthood when something reminded me that Erika Christensen is a Scientologist.

TV shows in the US are criticized for that.

You can do a fun experiment to notice this plainly. Watch the first season of Broadchurch (brilliant British series). Every person is a believable, next-door looking person. Even the proverbial beautiful woman of the town is played by Jodie Whittaker, who is beautiful but not stereotypically so. The main character is David Tennant, who is attractive but quirky looking, and his partner is Olivia Colman, talented and normal looking. She's perfect to play a cop who aspires to advance in her career but hasn't been able to. And her character is magistrally played.

Now watch the only season of the USian remake, Gracepoint.

Tennant is the only actor returning in that version. His partner is Anna Gunn, for crying out loud. She's stereotypically gorgeous, she looks more like a former model that like a career cop. The "proverbial beautiful woman of the town" looks like a porcelain doll. (And her husband is from a token minority, another posturing you won't see so clumsily done in a British series. They are more naturally varied in casting.) After seeing Broadchurch, all the cast of Gracepoint look like molded plastic.

Your body is 40. You're still 12.

Thank you for your sane words.

And the scarcity of real good men.

Certain nations have a real lack of those.
