  • I am watching SG1 from the beginning. I saw episodes here and there when it came out but as I'm running out of long running shows and characters to get attached to, I gave it a go. Aside from the incessant and loud background music in season 1, I find it holds well.

    My suggestions are the usual suspects:

    1. The Expanse – A gripping, politically charged space opera about interplanetary conflict, featuring complex characters and high-stakes drama.
    2. The Orville – A mix of comedy and sci-fi drama.
    3. Dark Matter – A Canadian sci-fi series about a crew of amnesiac criminals aboard a spaceship, exploring identity and survival in space.
    4. Ted Lasso – A heartwarming comedy-drama about an American football coach managing a British soccer team, full of humor and positive vibes.
    5. The Night Manager – A stylish espionage thriller with a former soldier-turned-hotel manager drawn into an arms dealer’s world.
    6. Bob's Burgers – A quirky animated comedy that follows the Belcher family running a burger joint, known for its clever humor and heartwarming moments.
    7. Letterkenny – A fast-paced comedy about the quirky residents of a small Canadian town, blending absurd humor with unique characters.
    8. Killjoys – A loud, action-packed Canadian sci-fi series about bounty hunters navigating a chaotic, lawless planetary system.
    9. Silo – The second season was slow until the final episodes, but the first season was great.

    Edit: I forgot

    Le Bureau des Légendes – Smart, layered French espionage drama with deep moral ambiguity.

    Slow Horses – Gritty and darkly funny spy series about MI5 rejects who still get the job done

  • Honest question: what is there to learn? You've got a thread, a needle, you put the thread in the needle and then you stab the things that need to fit together with it. The only thing that i was told during such stabbing to a button once was that i should wrap the thread around the button when done, but it hasn't prevented me to attached them so far?

  • In the canton of Fribourg in Switzerland, kids go door to door and sing to receive a little bit of change. I don't know where exactly why or when it started but I moved from one canton to the other when I was a kid and opening the door over and over for people sining in front of you was a surreal experience my first year. The following, I went singing myself :)

  • Yep

  • It’s not the absence of youth that makes women less beautiful. It’s the absence of representation.

    Men at 45: “distinguished.” Women at 45: “expired.” It’s not biology—it’s storytelling. We don’t see ugly old men as ugly—we see them as powerful, confidant, sexy. We don’t see aging women at all.

    That’s not nature. That’s propaganda

  • So the regional theocracy-for-hire ships missiles to the kleptocratic corpse dragging half the world down with it, aimed at the last place still bothering to resist. And the golf course messiah/antichrist? Dead silent, obviously.

  • It could also be that the training is going for federal agencies that have been "legally" required to eliminate "gender" from any training materials.

    I didn't think of that. All of those are good points.

    Torn between needing the job and staying true to my values

    Hey folks, I’m a freelance voice-over artist and QA reviewer working on training content, usually things like workplace harassment and diversity courses. Recently, I was asked to QA a course on workplace harassment—and noticed the client had removed all references to gender, replacing it with sex. Anywhere the word “gender” appeared, it was just… gone or replaced.

    It seems like a subtle thing on the surface, but it’s not. It completely shifts the tone and scope of the training. It feels like a quiet rollback of DEI principles, and honestly, it made my stomach turn. The kicker? I need this job. Turning this down could burn a bridge I can’t afford to lose.

    I have a good relationship with the lead on the project (who's just relaying instructions—they don’t have control over the content decisions), and I want to say something. At the same time, I’m scared that even a polite pushback could cost me.

    Has anyone else been in this kind of situation? How do you draw the line when your ethics

    Those mushrooms have come and gone in my spider plant :) I really really really want to lick them.
