Y'all need to stop acting like the criticism of the institution of oppression is the actual oppression. Eloise calling out hers, and every other woman's circumstances in Bridgerton is not shitting on them as people. The very idea of "love" and marriage being the only paths afforded to women is not a choice anyone can cheer! Like if you love someone and know that this "choice" is the only thing they're allowed to have, of course you're going to criticize it. It's crazy, just because you've found some happiness in the cage doesn't mean it's not there. And she's still there for her siblings, being a mindless cheerleader is not what siblings are, some of you need to get real with that.

the way people who don't understand the monty hall problem talk about it is one of the most bizarre and frustrating things like people will see an airtight proof of a mathematical fact and say "I don't understand this therefore it is false"

[hbmmaster]

you can literally walk people through step by step, explain that the probability of getting it right at the end if you don't switch is the same as the probability of your initial guess being right and therefore if you don't switch your chance of getting it right is 1/3 and if you do switch it's 2/3, and people say "I simply disagree I think it's 1/2"

#I think the whole time your odds are 50/50#because the host is always going to show you a door that isn’t a winner#he is always going to bring those numbers down#-> yeah I trust that everyone who says it’s two/thirds are right but I’ve also had it explained several times and I just really really#don’t get it#I tried to find like the actual percentages from the show of switching and winning but couldn’t I just found explanations of why it’s right @zoop1995 The host always showing you a door that isn't a winner doesn't bring the odds down, it does the exact opposite, the host being guranteed to show a loser door is why it's your chance of winning is 2/3 if you switch. Think about it this way: Initially, you have three choices. These choices are goat goat car. the end goal is to get a car. Because monty will only ever reveal a goat door, what monty does is therefore determined by what you choose initially - as if you picked a door with a goat in it, Monty is forced to reveal the unpicked door with a goat: If you picked goat door #1: Monty has to open goat door #2. The "other door" therefore must be the car door, and if you are in this scenario you win if you switch.

If you picked goat door #2: Monty has to open goat door #1. The "other door" therefore must be the car door, and if you are in this scenario you win if you switch. If you picked the car door: Monty opens either of the goat doors, whichever he feels like. The other door is the remaining unopened goat door, and you lose if you switch. So in 2/3 situations we win if we switch, and 1/3 we lose if we switch. We don't know which situation we're in, but hopefully from here it's obvious that if you must be in one of three situations, and two of them require you to switch to win, it makes sense that you have a 2/3 chance of wining if you switch - because you have a 2/3 chance of being in the situation where you win if you switch.

oh my god it finally makes fucking sense now!!!!! i’ve been confused for ever and ever and no amount of someone saying 2/3 vs 1/2 ever made sense to me cos i was like but now there’s only 2 doors in play so isn’t it 50%?? BUT NOW IT MAKES SENSE

[hayleysayshay]

One thing I love about One Battle After Another is that with Leo’s role as Bob is the protagonist and we follow him yet he basically does fuck all. Bob can’t remember the code words with his former group. He gets arrested so he can’t find his daughter that night. He can’t jump from the car, Sensei has to basically force him out. He misses his shot with the sniper rifle. He chases after the wrong car. Willa eventually saves herself when the bounty hunter turns on the white supremacists, and she shoots the guy hunting her down.

But it doesn’t matter because he eventually got to her and did the most important thing in being there for her, because the most important thing is that he’s her DAD, not that he’s some super awesome male action hero out for revenge or whatever. HE IS HER FATHER AND HE LOVES HER.

logging in just to say that if that Wicked: For Good trailer is not 1hr of Elphaba with her sexy long hair touching up her cap, then they have not fanserviced the people well enough

(i’ve been locked up in the asylum ever since someone edited the 2 seconds of her in P2 with her hair to Lady Gaga’s Disease and i couldn’t stop screaming and rewinding)

Vel Sartha & Cinta Kaz in Andor (2022-2025) "She was a miracle."

[shittinggold]

Not to be dramatic about that finale but I think Varada Sethu should be allowed to beat RTD to death.

[lordsyeda]

Varada Sethu was loved so much in S1 of Andor, Cinta was truly determined blooded warrior, a powerhouse of a rebel, her character had agency and personhood which was so fucking compelling to me personally even though you barely get a real glimpse of it but it’s treated with such respect anyway, she had a beautiful romance with Vel that everyone loved, culminating in the most stunning kiss I’ve ever seen, she’s been put up for Emmy consideration as Best Guest Actor in a series because people at Star Wars actually wanted to recognise her effort, and all of this to say, she had to waste her time doing promo for Dr Who instead of doing Andor press (a show that respected her and her character), knowing that RTD doesn’t give a shit about her or Belinda Chandra at all even though she had to act her tits off to make any of his writing worth half of anything and i’m absolutely fuming.

Cinta you’ll always be loved by me, get up, it was only a scratch.

I have to say it. 'enemies to lovers' started going down the shitter when people began treating it like 'people who kind of annoy each other to lovers' ENEMIES to LOVERS is about if two girls FOR REAL want to KILL each other

[tlirsgender]

Really the kicker about discussing colonialism intrinsic to certain fictional tropes/archetypes/genres/what-have-you is that white bitches et al get SO mad about it. "Ohh so I'm not allowed to play farming sims? Wearing a silly hat makes me a fascist now?" I was just exercising critical thought but yknow what? Just for you? Yeah it does

[tlirsgender]

& it really speaks for... a certain way of thinking about how racism works, the way they'll jump to this dichotomy of Allowed vs Not Allowed. Cause that's not really how it works. If we actually wanted to simply #cancel everything with any sort of Historical Context or Unsavory Implications it'd never fucking end, due to the world that we live in. Good thing we're just telling you to think even a little bit about the ideas you engage with & this suggestion makes people Really Mad

[tlirsgender]

It's that whole thing of, like, being more afraid of being labelled A Racist than really caring about minimizing harm. "Oohh this thing I like can't be racist because I'm Not Racist" no ❤

You know what trope I wanna see more of? Couples who have been married forever who are estranged but still in love but estranged. You know me better than any other person on earth. I haven't seen you in three years. I never stopped loving you. If I have to spend another minute in your presence I will murder you. I'm hurt and I need you right here with me. God you're such a dumbass. You're the only one I trust to do this job. I want you out of my sight.

[diasdelfuego]

i will not let those consequences touch you. i will stand in between you and them, and i will protect you.

Yall the VISION is a season three that includes the chase in BOTH TIMES. Okay??? Okay????

I want Armand finding Daniel in the past… AND Daniel trying to find Armand in the present.

It’s the soprano Sofia Consoli’s American debut, her fifth stop in a 22-city tour, so the orchestra should be in excellent form. I have a private box, and I had tuxedos made.

I don't really understand what Daemon's fault is.

Aemond was a request from Rhaenyra and in HOTD they made B&C an accident.

Then, what do we really blame Daemon for ?

For doing his job as a consort and acting when Rhaenyra was unavailable in 1x10 to allow their house to have defenses after Rhaenys warned that the Greens were coming for Rhaenyra and their children ?

For not wanting Rhaenyra to consider a deal that would send their sons as hostages ?

Really, this is supposed to represent Daemon re-establishing the seriousness of Rhaenyra's claim to the throne for people ?

Plus it didn't bother Rhaenyra to be accused of Laenor's murder all these years... Nor that Daemon officially acted without her word in the eyes of others (even if she gave him silent / non-verbal permission to a nod) when he decapitated Vaemond. precisely because it was for their family and their safety. Just like the concil in 1x10 and not agreeing with Otto's cardboard peace terms...)

I am confused.

Are they aware that what they write does not correspond to what they are trying to project ?

Daemon is literally Rhaenyra's greatest ally in Fire and Blood just like HOTD, but for reason the writers constantly try to make people doubt Daemon's loyalty to no avail, because they don't even understand what they're writing about anyway, nor the world they write for.

In context, there is no reason for Blood and Cheese to be a problem for future supporters of Rhaenyra, it never was for a good reason in F&B and it should be the same for HOTD.

The Greens shed the first blood of an innocent man. Who happened to be a member of their family and messenger. They committed 3 big crimes.

But apparently in HOTD we don't care about lore.

No mention that killing a family member is actually a horrible crime in Westeros, no mentions of the messenger's law, or for example the right to invite for season 1 with episode 5 where Criston Cole literally kills the lover of Laenor who was a guest. Normally, he would never have been able to keep his job and get a promotion, it's ridiculous. I agree that Viserys was stupid, but there are limits.

It was just there to make a marriage turn bloody. Nothing more. Gratuitous violence once again.

I swear the only thing keeping me going on this purge is Daemyra / Matt Smith & Emma D'Arcy.

That's all.

I literally cannot stop thinking about how insane it is that assad zaman didn’t know he was auditioning for Armand like u are a relatively unknown actor and u go try out to be the vampires butler in a foundational piece of vampire IP, only to be actually cast as the oldest, most powerful vampire in the entire work and u inhabit that character so well that everyone watching cannot imagine this role going to anyone else, who else could capture that half blank half apocalyptic look?? How the fuck could he have ever just been rashid
