Man, fraggles really do love radish though.

Big fan of "The Bunny with the Pearl Earring".

Don't know if I'd say "people" want more of this. Me, a nearly middle aged adult does, but the traditional battle system is more than enough for their primary audience who are children.

More education is definitely needed - that's the stage the movement is at. But you (whoever is reading this) could be the one to educate people. The emphasis of most of these local chapters is education, and they'll teach you how, where, and when to educate people.

Reminder that the system doesn't have to be two party. Ranked choice voting (aka single transferable vote), proportional representation - these things increase political competition by making more parties mathematically possible and give us greater control over our government.

It's already been implemented in some States and municipalities across the country. If yours isn't one of them, it could be. There are several orgs trying to get this done such as Rank The Vote. Check to see if you have a local chapter and how you can help them!

Millie Bobby Brown actually has (or had) this going on due to her filming Stranger Things during formative years. It's really fascinating to listen to this weird halfway point between the two. You can hear it well here: https://youtu.be/xhjooxtYf9Q?t=50

A particularly interesting point is around ~1:10 where she's been largely using her American accent, but she uses the word after, but instead of starting the word with the TRAP vowel we would expect, she uses the BATH vowel instead owing to her original British accent. But I think what's even more interesting is that when she does this, it doesn't sound like she swapped back to her British accent for a single word - it sounds much more like someone with a general American accent doing an impression of a British person saying the word after!

That sounds fascinating. If I were interested in those shows, where would I start? Are there at least some that are easily listenable to on the open internet?

I'm not jazzed about that part either. I'm trying to support this simply for the potential it has for general strike. Nothing else.

Really appreciate that. Thanks.

They have nothing to do with the image but Workers Strike Back is having a conference to organize into a body that can make demands and negotiate in a general strike situation. They're getting major Union leaders to attend (Amazon, UAW, etc) so the resulting org should actually have sway. But the conference is open to anyone and they're welcoming anyone to join them.

I will never entertain the argument of the person you replied to and your post is exactly why. The originally story being divided into three pieces, is in itself not an actual problem. It could potentially cause other problems, but whether or not it actually does is completely separate.

Remake took me 80 hours to complete (to my non-completionist satisfaction) and had a clear and satisfying beginning middle and end. On this front, I don't know what you could realistically complain about.
