I actually addressed this very point in a different comment. But basically I actually agree. I’m being dramatic with “this is my hill to die on”. My hill is probably more “all of these episodes are very emotional and not just Jurassic Bark should be mentioned every time.” I think your family and pet experiences play a lot in determining which episode hits you harder.
I’m sorry but “I’m naming you Philip J Fry, after my brother, who I miss every day” pans over to Fry’s childhood drawing that Yancy has held onto for decades isn’t that much nuance. If anything, the dog doesn’t say a word so you have to pull a lot more from your own imagination.
So then you don’t want me to remind you that Bender has no backup unit and only exists in the first place because young Hermes spared him? Cus that would probably crush you. Like a platform falling down a canyon.
Absolutely, have at it. This was a fun chat 😁
Also, with Lethal: I really enjoy that it adds the whole “Bender thought he was invincible but now he knows he doesn’t actually have a backup and can die at any time” thing into the mix. Though in fairness, Bender has always said that his retirement plan was to flip his on switch to off, so I dunno if death really scares him.
In regards to Jurassic Bark: I’ll give you that, absolutely. It is pretty devastating and I don’t want to deny that. Blind, trusting loyalty. It’s really beautiful and crushing that he doesn’t get closure. I’ll even give you the retcon not counting since it probably only exists as a fan service.
That said, I disagree that Fryish is 100% triumph. Yancy has missed his brother for years at this point. He still keeps around the drawing Fry did. He doesn’t have to say the name and his wife already knows. He mentions that he still thinks of his brother every day. He clearly carrys a deep weight. Naming his son after Fry was symbolically giving Fry a life Yancy thought he didn’t get. There’s a lot of pain there in my opinion.
I will absolutely give you that Game of Tones is a victory, but honestly, that one always makes me tear up. That one just feels.
I’ll give you the wait. That scene does absolutely tug at my heart and I can appreciate that kind of loyalty and how beautiful it is from a pet.
But that’s why I see the brother, and his wait, as so much more powerful. He’s still waiting and hoping that one day his brother will pop back up too. Especially with still having Fry’s drawing.
But to be honest, I’ll also agree to disagree on that one - I think your experiences with family and pets growing up makes the episodes hit differently to different people.
Most underrated emotional episode? I’m gonna go with Lethal Inspection. Where we find out Bender is defective and was supposed to be scrapped, but a young, sympathetic Hermes overrides the machine and spares baby Bender. I feel like that one rarely gets brought up and it’s a pretty good one from the newer seasons. Definitely had a bit of a gut punch.
I’ll die on the hill that Luck of the Fryish is sadder. One is a relationship between a human and a dog. The other is a relationship between two brothers. You really trying to say the dog is worse?
I’ll also put Game of Tones above Jurassic Bark. Fry getting to actually say goodbye to his mom and tell her how much he loved her? No contest.
Besides the fact that they totally retconned Seymore anyways and he doesn’t die alone anymore. It’s the first movie. He lives out the rest of his life with Fry when he returns back in time.
Luck of the Fryish ≥ Game of Tones > Jurassic Bark
“We know who they are. We don’t really need due process. I’m not one of those people so nothing bad could ever happen to me so I don’t care”
Seriously, the amount of times I see violations of civil/human rights being acceptable because they’re “the enemy” is really sad. Do you have no self awareness? That’s EXACTLY what they’re doing to you. Stop being a pot of crabs pulling us back in. Be better.
All I know about is they put things like “John 3:16” on the packaging, but it’s tiny and usually in a hard to see place. On the cups it used to be on the inside of the bottom rim. I’m sure they donate to religious organizations.
That said, in-n-out consistently pays ABOVE minimum wage and treat their workers very well. Prices also haven’t gone up like other places. So with them, unless I find out they have a specifically evil viewpoint I’ve been unaware of, then just being religious gets a pass.
So again, this isn’t for day to day use. It’s for extreme situations, like being on top of a mountain where laying lines is difficult and warzones where explosions are constantly destroying your infrastructure.
You’re speaking out of your ass. Even if we just talk about the US, “most people already live in an urban area” is false. Have you seen the Midwest?!? Rocky mountains? Appalachian mountains? You’re so beyond ignorant of the issue and you just keep doubling down.
You should stop before you continue to expose your gross ignorance on the subject.
You realize the most significant use of satellite internet right now is Ukraine, right? Like you’re aware that this has almost nothing to do with the US and is about starlink/Elon fucking with Ukraine and the internet they provide the military fighting in a war. Right? Like you’re not that oblivious, right? You’re not jumping in here suggesting they lay cat6 in a warzone are you? Cus that would just be foolish and make you look like a jackass, which I’m sure you’re not.
Ummm we did? My pixel 9 pro is noticably smaller than my pixel 6 pro, much to my delight. Maybe stop buying the XL tablet phones and you’ll find they’re actually a reasonable size again. So many people in the comments rallying against an issue that isn’t even there. You’re just being told this is an issue. Do you even check for yourselves?
…so… content filters when? Let me limit it to certain subjects and I don’t need social media anymore 😂
I literally posted a comment back then saying “sure is odd that this is happening right before the US election. Not saying it means anything, but maybe it’s not a coincidence?” and got downvoted to hell lmao.
You miss my meaning. All the servers that your info passes through, all the cell towers, etc, can and in many cases do track you(even as just routine loggings). Thinking that running anything makes you more secure while connecting to a giant public network is naive.
You know the towers log data too, right? And that websites themselves can track you regardless of what OS you use, right?
Privacy is good, but stop with this “Linux is a magic weapon” BS.
I have an A1 and a X1C. Got them because I was tired of my printer being the project and not the actual prints. I was inspired by the guy building life sized Trex models. He highly recommended them. I have about 600 hours on my A1 and about 150 on my X1C. Only time I have issues is when the model is poorly made/badly sliced(so basically user error).
They are basically “set it and forget it”. Setting them up is basically connecting 3-4 cables and 4 screws - incredibly easy.
I could not recomment them enough. I print almost daily now while with my ender I spent more time trying to fix z offsets and other junk.
The A1 and the X1C came with lots of extra parts in my experience. Hotend, screws, nozzle wiping pads… And a variety of parts I’ve just printed with the printer itself.
looks at all the replacement parts that came with both my Bambu printers and the extra nozzles I ordered at the same time
What are you even talking about?
Just wanted to say thanks for posting this :D
