I had to stop watching The Pitt because a: the elderly Mom with a broken arm plot in season 1 had me crying and b: I already work in an ER... do you think they write Dr Robby as a misogynist On Purpose as a Real Character Flaw or is it more 'misogyny is baked into our society and it just Happened Like That'?

It's absolutely on purpose. Late in season 1 he is explicitly challenged on it, acknowledges it, and apologizes. In season 2 his behavior, far from improving, has gotten dramatically worse, and that's absolutely on purpose too. The open question is whether the show knows quite how bad this flaw is, but it know it's there and it knows it is bad.

No boob plate on her armor, as far as I can tell

I suppose a lack of boob plate is an example of “PC culture,” or something.

joaniam replied to your post “8/1/18 workout routine”

How long does it take you to complete this routine?

An hour, if I’m following my 45s rests the way I should! 

(otherwise it can be 1:15 if I get out of breath and take a longer break, or just get distracted)

joaniam replied to your post: what’s this i hear about a mob psycho dub

In the English dub I know Mob’s voice is very good. Very Soft. I didn’t watch all of it, but I know enough that Mob’s american VA did a good job.

I just watched a bit of chapter one, the dub does sound good, and Mob’s voice is really nice. Reigen is also really impressive.

🥀 (and 🔮 which I am answering AT you, and that is the one where she's on the front lines with the Fourth Horrible Teens. The glimpse we got for the interactions of noble and military rank were FASCINATING)

🥀 If you could have chosen one character to survive Canan House, who would it be?

*Canaan but honestly I think Silas's perspective on later events could be really interesting. Does he quintuple down on the censorious inquisitor life? Does realizing what Lyctorhood entails make him seriously reassess his faith and his commitments? Something else entirely, somehow? These aren't minor questions!

I'm not answering Abigail and Magnus because I think their River scenes in HtN are really beautiful and wouldn't want to lose them. I do also wish, though, that Jeannemary and Isaac had made it out okay.

As to your answer, that is honestly the most unusual and interesting reason for preferring that AU I've ever heard. I approve.

TLT ask game!

Just had a thought about the Shire: the hobbits might not like mathoms, but I bet they have a huge fiber arts community. Spinners, weavers, knitters, seamstresses, embroidery... all of those can be made into useful and beautiful things! The artful way one stitches scraps together to add to an apron that's gone a bit tatty, the way embroidery can strengthen seams, the creation of the fabric in the first place!!!

I’m sure they do! The LotR prologue about hobbits says that “[t] hey do not and did not understand or like machines more complicated than a forge-bellows, a water-mill, or a hand-loom, though they were skillful with tools”--implying that hand looms were something they did have and use regularly, although I tend to treat this passage as a little hyperbolic and headcanon that they’ve figured out foot-treadle looms and basic clockwork too.
