Ok I've done that and didn't figure out a line of reasoning for your assertion. Would you be willing to help me understand where you're coming from now?

Daryl Davis has done more to dismantle the KKK than all the antifa folks combined ever will

Homie what do you think "antifa" is? Working to dismantle the KKK is one of the most antifa things there is.

Follow up question, have you had a discussion with him about this? Have you two attempted to approach and solve this problem as a team already?

If that were holistically true the concept of a "sarcastic tone" wouldn't exist in verbal speech.

I don't agree with this assessment. The Orville is only a Star Trek parody for the first two episodes, after that it feels more accurate to me to call it an homage.

Entertainment wise, I find it to be very fun to watch and am always engaged while I have it on.

Thematically, I think it has either a bad or watered down argument sometimes, but other times I think it really hits. Either way though, I find the way it approaches certain ideas very interesting and compelling to discuss with my SO while we watch it, so even when I don't agree with the thematic intent of the episode, I find it worthwhile to interact with.

That said, it did make me cringe a little bit for the first 2 episodes. They're still worth watching for context instead of skipping them, but don't make any judgements on it until episode 3.

All in all, I give it a 8.5/10 personally but a 7/10 critically.

Episode 1 & 2 are so rough me and my SO almost dropped it but after making it through to episode 3 we were hooked enough to practically binge watch all the way through the end of season 2 (where we're at currently).

Just watch episode 3 and see what you think at that point. I know it's cliché to say things like this but it really does pick up massively at that point. Season 2 especially is some of the most compelling TV I've watched.

Same. I work in tech. But it's definitely not the best starter hobby for someone who's explicitly trying to find a hobby to help with depression.
