Review/Analysis of DS9's "Equilibrium"

[tv-366.blogspot.com]

Behold an episode where the implications are more interesting than the actual plot. Thankfully, those implications will be explored later down the line.

Designated bad guys

[(Anonymous)]

Obviously inspired by the Slytherin secret.

Who are your fandom's designated bad guys? Do you think they're meant to be, or it's a POV issue, OR it's played for laughs and not meant to be taken seriously?

Goals

[(Anonymous)]

What are you working towards? Big stuff, little stuff, the stuff that means a lot to you that just wouldn't be on the radar for anyone else.

Inspired by a secret from a few days ago that I just now read

[(Anonymous)]

Have you ever read character/reader fic? Do you remember any particularly bad ones? Any you'll admit to enjoying?

So it looks like Female Trump lost? Whew!

Strong women ramblings

[(Anonymous)]

Physical strength, I mean.

I noticed just recently that a huge part of the teen male culture seems to be pushing strongly the claim that women are vastly weaker than men. Now I know there is a bit of a gap, but the overlap can be substantial, it is not really an issue until you get right out to the extremes. However there seems to be a strain of thinking that there is a major, major, difference in strengths and that a young man who does no strength training will be automatically stronger than any young woman.

I got to wondering, is this the reason why so many fashion brands and media are pushing the idea of stick thin women? That the current beauty ideal is petite and very thin? It is almost like an enforcement of that dogmatic belief that men must be stronger than women is being conducted through media image.

I also noticed that physically strong action women in the media are now pretty much always given their strength by supernatural or technological means of some sort, that they are mostly Whedonesque magic waifs who still conform to the petite and thin image while having magic strength. Is the media pushing the idea that women are just automatically inferior, that there is nothing to be done about it, and just to look pretty instead? Should we not be avoiding media and narratives that push this now?

Also I have a severe headcold and am on some major painkillers and I can see like echoes of where my fingers are when I type. Like a super slo mo movie shot. It is freeky. Every body way in.

What's going on with Wikileaks?

[(Anonymous)]

Why has Wikileaks recently been assisting far-right candidates like Trump and Le Pen by selectively releasing damaging information on their opponents before election time? Were they always this right-wing and pretending to be neutral or has something changed?

Damn you, Japan

[(Anonymous)]

I want an Amami rabbit as a pet, but the stupid Japanese call it a national monument and make it illegal to own them. And then they have them live in the wild on just two remote islands which are really difficult to acquire from on the grey market.
Who wouldn't want a pet one of these:

Put them on the pet market, Japan, we'll have tonnes of them within a couple of years.

Recs!

Ask for yours, change the subject to the topic of choice etc etc etc

Job vent

[(Anonymous)]

I can't get hired in what I want to do and I'm gonna be stuck working part time jobs I hate my whole life.I can't find any entry level positions even tangentially related to what I want to do locally. Even if I think I could do the job, I don't have the on paper experience to get into the door, even with my bachelors degree. And I can't get the on paper experience if no one will even consider me. I'm never gonna be able to escape Retail Hell

Alien covenant

Worth a movie ticket price or not?

I hated Prometheus shitty plot, if that matters.

Book club - June recs

[diet_poison]

Quick post for June recs! Please post title and author. Please also post a link to a goodreads, wikipedia, amazon etc. article for the book.. I'm going to try this this week to try to eliminate troll recs that are a pain to trawl through.

Limit two per person and cap out at 15. If we don't get 15 within a few days (Wednesday or Thursday depending on how my week falls) we'll close recs.

We're going try checkbox voting again, since I think it worked pretty well. We'll see if it works as well this month.

Rec away!

PS: don't forget we're reading Dragon Wizard by S. Andrew Swann for May.

PPS: A big thank you to everyone who participated in our discussion for Night Watch! We had a big discussion and a really good turnout! <3
