That doesn’t change what OP said. It’s still keeping up mystery for mystery sake. But if you want to nitpick, fine. Helena being “in or out” in the first few episodes was mystery for mystery sake too. The “mystery” is largely being lied too/kept in the dark, not being given a satisfying riddle.
If the mystery only exists because you deny the audience information the characters know, it’s not a mystery. It’s just slow lying.
Except that Harbor was a known thing by several characters but we are intentionally kept in the dark for the sake of the plot. It was only a mystery to the innies and the audience. But since a large portion of the cast are executive outies, yes, it was mystery for the sake of the plot.
Bro, did you seriously compare small sedans to a small pickup that people are actually asking for?
…I’d continue this but it’s clear your comprehension is lacking.
And who lobbies for lower emissions regulations so that they can sell bigger polluting trucks while consumers constantly say “where’s my small car?”? Who lobbies the government to give them subsidies that make the meat so cheap that it’s the best option for the consumer vs plant based protein?
Everything a person could do in these instances is being done in the opposite direction 1000x more and you sit here and go “but people!”
But sure, I’ll just whip out my checkbook and lobby some politicians and change this myself. And I’ll eat less meat while the people going to the climate conferences all fly their own private jets to it and create more pollution in a day than I will in a lifetime. That’ll really show em!
No. Individuals make up <1% on their own. You want to make a difference? Target the 99%. This is just bullshit propaganda like telling us recycling is our duty instead of corporations producing less junk.
Yes, let’s focus of men vs women instead of individuals vs corporations.
I thought we were past this “it’s the individuals fault despite corporations producing the vast, vast majority” bullshit.
You know how notifications work, right? Like, I’m taking a shit scrolling through things. So I’m literally shit talking with you. Enjoy that mental image.
Nah, I get a notification, skim your comment, then post whatever bs feels like it will annoy you the most right now. Takes like 5 seconds of my time. Here I go again!
Oh I don’t even read what you’re saying anymore and just respond with blatant trolling that you’re too dense to notice.
Nah, I just get a notification and I can do basic math on dates. It’s really not that complicated.
Lol wut? You spent 3 days to think of that? Ok…
Yes, I would agree that the conversation were having is useless but you sure wrote a lot of words…
It’s not equivalent though. It’s a grey wolf made to look like a direwolf. If they’d crispered a grey wolf into a dire wolf, that would be one thing. This is not that. This is basically a designer breed at best.
Did that actually get confirmed? I saw that as well but it wasn’t confirmed as best as I can tell. RIP if true. Dude was a legend.
Right? Like “You wanted me to notice you? Oh I noticed you now. And while I’m aware of you, let’s just go ahead and take away some of your permissions…”
Whooooosh
If the AI summary is incorrect, then his point about trusting AI is incorrect. If the AI summary is correct, then it contradicts what he said the definition is and he is once again incorrect. Literally, no matter what, he’s wrong. It’s was a fun way to show the absurdity of blindly trusting AI. His logic itself is flawed.
that’s funny, cus the AI summary for “what is a factoid” told me it’s an incorrectly believed idea. So which is it? Is the AI correct and you’re wrong, or is the AI incorrect and you’re still wrong?
Yeah no. Just had someone IRL try to use the AI summary to prove something that was blatantly false.
Even more fitting: factoid means something believed to be true, but is false. It’s not a “cute little tidbit of info” like you used it as.
So yeah, AI summaries are full of factoids, you are correct.
It’s really quite simple and doesn’t take a novel to understand.
When the audience is given all the same information as the characters and are trying to solve it at the same time as the characters, it’s a plot driven mystery.
When characters already know the answer and the audience is kept in the dark(especially with editing/cuts) until the last episode of the season, it’s mystery for mystery sake. If the plot can’t exist without intentionally keeping facts from the audience, it’s mystery for mystery.
There’s no harm in being Oceans 11. But don’t pretend this is something it’s not.
And just gotta say “man wants to rescue wife” is the most reductionist take on the plot and shows why you find what little that was there as satisfying. The “plot” is about a cult like company that does an insane medical procedure on its employees, and part of the plot is that they did it to a couple and reunited them. At least, that’s what we’re hunted at. It’s also about all we’re actually given.
