If your only requirement is that a man once existed by the name of Jesus and was crucified, then the bar is on the floor. Jesus was not a rare name, and the Romans crucified many, many people. It is not out of the realm of possibility that these two common data points would overlap and give us a crucified Jesus.

Is there proof that it was THE Jesus though? Do we have corroborating evidence of a man travelling the countryside with his posse, changing the minds and hearts of the masses?

Not entirely clear what The Doctor actually did to beat Sutekh. Sutekh has been attached to the TARDIS since the 70s, but dragging him behind the TARDIS again reverses his death-sand and sends him into the time vortex for real this time?

When Kate died in the first minute I was sad, then everyone else died, and all of the tension went out of the episode, because the stakes became too ridiculous to actually be worried about.

I don’t think the callback to 73 Yards did anything to improve that episode. All we got was a reference to Gwilliam, that didn’t need an episode of setup, and a confirmation that the perception filter of the TARDIS is 73 feet, which explains… nothing? About what happened in that episode.

Sutekh’s master plan was brought low because… He wanted to know who Ruby’s mum was? The God of Death who destroyed all life in the universe so he could sit in silence cared about who some pregnant teen was? Am I to believe that there was never any other moment in The Doctor’s travels that left Sutekh with an unanswered question? He didn’t show up when Bad Wolf kept cropping up? Or when there was a crack in Amy’s wall? But this rando human is enough to spring him into action?

I don’t know how I feel about the reveal of Ruby’s mum. I get the narrative reason for her to not be special, but it then raises so many questions. Such as why Ruby can make it snow, which is a phenomenon that was strange enough to give the Eldritch God of Music, Maestro, pause. Or why she pointed at the Doctor, because I don’t buy that she was ‘naming’ Ruby. She was alone on the street, saw a random guy, and pointed at a sign. None of which could possibly have influenced the people who found Ruby to name her in that way.

Also not a fan of The Doctor basically telling Ruby that her mother is a bad person who doesn’t deserve to know her, while taking Ruby to see her mother.

that she is departing the show already, but the character reason felt sincere and believable. Her arc was complete.

I do not give a damn about Mrs Flood anymore. There is only so much edging you can do with fourth wall breaks and sinister old ladies before you lose all sensation. No reveal is going to live up to the mystery that RTD seems to be trying to set up.

I didn’t think I had as many issues with this episode as I did until I started writing this. The season was a bit of a letdown, which is a shame because I love certain aspects of it so much. Gatwa is an amazing Doctor. I actually love that he is The Doctor who Cries. It shows a deep emotion that I appreciate from a character that has seen so much and could be jaded. Gibson’s stint as Ruby was perfect for the introduction to a new Doctor. I am disappointed that she is departing the show already, but the character reason felt sincere and believable. Her arc was complete.

Despite all of my complaining, I am still hopeful for future seasons to grow out of the first-season funk that a lot of Doctors have.

Just give us the book. Why is “The Druid” a live event that I have to tune in for? I don’t need some fake-enthusiastic guy in a graphic tee trying to hype up the Wizard class. We know what that is, just get on with it. Is anyone who isn’t already on board with 6e going to be swayed by this stuff?

This all reeks of AAA gaming promotion. They are trying to get that E3 Hype for a ttrpg, and you can feel the season passes and microtransactions being tinkered with in Beyond.

I rather enjoyed it, but I don’t know how any of the recent films are going to come together to create an engaging Avengers film. There really hasn’t been a good unifying story that they have been building to. They keep throwing in references to future movies at the end of each film/show, but they all just seem to be hype for new characters that most people have to go to a screen junkies article to get an explanation for.

I don’t feel like Kang has been properly built up, because he has appeared several times already, posed little actual threat, and even got defeated one time by Ant-Man, who is essentially comic-relief in any ensemble affair. There’s also the casting issue.

I have seen every MCU film in cinema, and have enjoyed them all in their own way, despite the visceral glee the internet has in tearing them apart. But I don’t feel any excitement in hearing about Avengers 5. Because I don’t know what it is.

Some of my local supermarkets have these already. The worst part is that they use real shitty, dark displays. It was always easy to see the price when it was black ink on white or yellow paper, but trying to check the price on what amounts to a calculator screen at ten paces is horrid. Doesn’t help that the displays are so much smaller than paper tags, and the stores like to put the “3 for $10” as the priority, meaning the actual unit price is millimetres tall.

The scientific community is meant to be skeptical. If we wholeheartedly adopted every claim an instagrammer made online, we’d all be dead of covid or tide pod poisoning.

The only evidence we see of Bunny’s knowledge is what’s presented on their social media accounts. As noted in the article by a scientist, we are more likely to latch on to the one time a button press has meaning and disregard the nine that don’t. All we see of Bunny is the wins, so it’s really not scientific evidence of intelligence.

I will admit that what Bunny presents is compelling stuff, but there is no scientific rigour involved with the claims.

I’ve seen other dogs with buttons whose owners claim intelligence, but their buttons are for things like ‘walk’, ‘food’, ‘play’, and ‘love’. The dog could press any of those buttons and expect to receive a good outcome. Of course it’s going to feel like communication when the dog hits “play”, and is happy when you play with it.

But is Android doing the on device LLM already? Because it sounds like they aren’t…

“Nuance matters. Brute.”

If we are playing that game.

This article reads like a person who thinks they have found the answer, but is still so woefully uninformed.

The doctor didn’t tell you about the social media apps that your kid was using? It’s not their fault you were inattentive.

They took their daughter’s phone away twice due to mental health issues, and the plan is to play soccer with her until high school and then give her back the phone. My sibling in Christ, you’ve done nothing to scaffold and support your child’s health after these incidents, but sure, drop her in the deep end with her addictions and mental issues as she enters high school. I’m sure those kids are mature enough to not cause the same problems tenfold.

The sad fact is that we live in a world that requires the use of technology. In some countries, ICT Capability is a priority across the high school curriculum. Taking the phone away makes her act like your idea of a kid again, sure, but at some point she is going to need to use a phone or a computer or a tablet without you breathing down her neck. We need to be educating our children on safe practices, not taking their phones away and proclaiming to have solved the problem.

It’s like abstinence only sexual education.

Gottem!

That’s what you’ve taken away from this thread? A spelling error? You’ve got nothing to say on so many topics, except for the pedantic correction of minor spelling errors or word choice.

Argue my point, not my grammar.

his entry has been disqualified in consideration for the other artists.

What artists? The ones who’s photographs have been scraped from the Internet with no consideration or credit to provide free artistic labour to techbros and companies?

Or the talentless hacks who think asking a machine to draw them a picture holds the same merits as creating the image themselves?

‘The Boys’ might be ending, but don’t expect Amazon to give it a graceful end. There are currently three spinoffs in production, one of which was only recently announced.

I have never related to something more.

I hate the way that I hate.

I just can’t fathom how some people can be so oblivious and inconsiderate to others, sometimes to the point of danger.

I don’t have a remedy or fix apart from letting you know that you aren’t alone.
