Fun how the bystander effect was coined to cover up how cops are bigoted cowards who let a queer person die and stockholm syndrome was coined to cover that the cops handled a hostage situation so badly the hostages trusted their captors more than the cops.

I really can and will blame the 9-5 for everything. "We're in a loneliness epidemic" well, we have to spend a third of our day interacting with people in a professional way that makes forming real friendships difficult and then we're peopled out by the time we're done. "People are eating more and more unhealthily" people have to spend more than a third of their day doing work related tasks and they don't want to spend their tiny amount of free time making food. "People aren't involved in their local communities" after spending more than a third of their day doing work related things people are tired and also all those community events take place during normal working hours. "People need to get more hobbies" after spending more than a third of their day working, people are TIRED and don't want to do anything that takes yet more energy. "Literacy is dying" to maintain your critical thinking skills you need to read/watch things that make you think and after spending more than a third of your day doing work related stuff you are TIRED and don't want to expend even more brainnpower. "People need to get outside more" People. Are. TIRED. Because they have to spend all of their time working or preparing for work or recovering from work or doing all the chores they couldn't stay on top of because of work. I can blame fucking anything on having to work, it is truly the root of all fucking evil.

"I do not have to kill this alien. By the time he fixes his device and builds a ship, it will be too late. He will already be too human to want to kill everyone. And if I killed him, I would be killing the humanity that is growing inside of him. How could I ever take that gift away from someone?"

There is so much beauty to the Resident Alien series finale that I had to watch it again last night. And who knows? I may watch it again before too much time has passed.

In the finale, there are wonderful thoughts expressed by the characters. Dan said,

"Love and kindness are powerful things. I mean, who knows how many aliens landed here before Harry, planning to do bad things, then spared our lives?"

And all through the series, Harry has offered his thoughts on human nature. So it was appropriate that as he flew away, he had some final thoughts.

"Humans think they need love from others to be happy. They do not realize they already have all the love they will ever need inside of them. Maybe the real magic happens when you give that love away."

"Being kind to others is like planting a seed that grows and spreads among them... The love you leave behind will last much longer than you will - which is good because nobody wants to be forgotten."

Show runner Chris Sheridan said,

"I spent a lot of time thinking about what the viewers take away from the season. And I think ideally at the end of the season, people feel better about their lives and more hopeful that not only can they find happiness but they can be part of this change that I think is happening in the world now."

So much media today seems to take the most bleak and negative and pessimistic view of humanity and our society. So Resident Alien was a wonderful change from that.

As a Greek, in response to the current controversy about Matt Damon being cast as Odysseus, I'd just like to share that one of the moments that changed my brain chemistry as a kid was reading a novelized version of the Odyssey and coming across the following description of Odysseus when Circe sees him for the first time and thinks he's hot: "his hair curled like a clematis and his eyes were very brown".

So may I present my own casting choice for Odysseus:

Is this the face of a man who would put his own infant in front of a plow to avoid going to war?

Absolutely not

You know who would try that shit?

Is this the face of a man who would defy the very gods to get home to his wife?

You know who would defy the gods just to show he could get away with it?

the thing about being "good with kids" is all it takes is literally just not trying to control and mould them with every interaction. it's just being a normal person and engaging with them through normal interactions like having conversations and playing games. it's just being genuine and friendly and not perceiving them as lumps of wet clay you are there to shape. "oh you're so good with kids" thanks it's because I think they are people

U will suggest something like stop relying on ai. Dont treat clothing as disposable. Stop buying things from Amazon. And your fellow landfillcore Americans will say: If I have to think about how my actions affect other people, I will die. Is that what you want? You want me to die?
