PlatonSkull.bsky.social @platonskull.bsky.social · 10/08/2026In the B plot Jerry wants to get a hotdog but everyone is too busy boning. He does not notice this (nor the many come-ons from random strangers) and complains about the service. At the end it turns out it wasn't a planet wide law thing. Just that specific city was full of weird perverts. 000
PlatonSkull.bsky.social @platonskull.bsky.social · 10/08/2026The Sex Purge concept sounds like a Rock & Morty ep. They visit a planet with sex only allowed once per year. Rick is excited cuz repressed people get extremely freaky, Summer tries to start a revolution for all year sluttery. Morty is skeptical of the logistics but his valid questions are ignored. 100
PlatonSkull.bsky.social @platonskull.bsky.social · 08/08/2026If you want to tackle the issue in your videos, the podcast Diabolical Lies did a great episode on the discourse surrounding her weight.

PlatonSkull.bsky.social @platonskull.bsky.social · 16/06/2026Us Europeans are "quite used to" Celsius. I have never bought the "F is just intuitive" argument because it's all about consistency. C has the benefit of freezing vs boiling in some context and for everyday weather it's all about habit building intuition anyways. 000

PlatonSkull.bsky.social @platonskull.bsky.social · 05/06/2026That's a common talking point that's often brought up by Western fans and afaik it's not true. The creator simply didn't care very much about actual court proceedings and just mined the tropes for drama and gameplay structure. It's not meant to be taken that seriously 000
PlatonSkull.bsky.social @platonskull.bsky.social · 05/06/2026Once that gets tiring, get ready for "this witness is hostile to us and has had to correct themselves several times, but our whole case will still hinge of a SINGLE revealing turn of phrase they used and it's downstream implications" 020

PlatonSkull.bsky.social @platonskull.bsky.social · 04/05/2026Agree with your points but the most egregious stuff isn't the fashion but the constant nagging about her weight/size.

PlatonSkull.bsky.social @platonskull.bsky.social · 28/02/2026Dakota shouldn't be a romantic lead but she would kill it as the romantic foil. The rich but shallow fiancé the guy needs to break up with to get with the main girl. Lean into her energy as an actress! 000

PlatonSkull.bsky.social @platonskull.bsky.social · 07/02/2026Not sure what exactly you are critical of here? Media is made by people with pre existing opinions and motives so beliefs don't "come from nowhere" in any model, plus they are part of people's social spheres (parasocial relationships and all) and shape perception of the world (mental structure). 090
PlatonSkull.bsky.social @platonskull.bsky.social · 26/01/2026Even accepting the frame, in a world where the 'fascism' is overused, isn't it all the more important to have public intellectuals able to tell the difference when actual fascism arrives?
