nope, is the music good and not poppy slop like most other musicals, and if the music is good, is it actually funny at the same time?
That’s what I find it difficult to enjoy about musicals, either it’s unfunny or really broad humour or the music is too shitty.

- Comment on F dieting! 1 day ago:
trying to lose weight is frustrating. I feel you.
Consider this : diet is the word that’s used to describe what an animal eats. “The cow’s diet consists mainly of grass”. No matter what you eat, you are following a diet. You have the choice to make that diet consist of junk food, too much food, or slip by the little cracks that come up that add just a bit, just a bit , just a bit, until they add up to over the calories you need in a day, which in turn, keeps you out of shape.
Being conscious of what you eat and making adjustments so that your diet is better, or at least, less calories will make long term improvements to your form and health, and the positive feedback loop, once established, will make your choices easier to make. It will still be difficult.

Hero’s journey :
So, Light goes through call to adventure, supernatural aid, and threshold guardians? Ok.
All the characters go through “challenges and temptations” but aside from Light not going for the Shinigami’s eyes, they generally tend to cave to whatever temptations they’re presented with. I assume
spoiler
L’s literal death and replacement with Melo
Is the death & rebirth and transformation. I don’t see the atonement, return nor the gift of the goddess. Also, I thought the hero’s journey had “visit to the underworld” as part of the abyss, and also a voyage to a strange land which again, feels missing.
I appreciate you sharing your point of view though.

the story is illustrating “book smart” from “street smart”.
who’s who? I thought Light and L were fairly similar in their types of intelligence and both felt book smart.Death Note is a variation on the Hero’s Journey trope
how? It just seemed like a typical “antagonist and protagonist are mirrors” with a villain protagonist in Light.
- Comment on Pope Leo holds first meeting with abuse survivors' group 1 day ago:
Leo is very pragmatic. I’m willing to bet this will lead to incremental changes in the right direction that will leave people disappointed, but he will try to get structural changes to achieve the goals long term.
He seems willing to communicate the source of the problems that people have with the church , and seems to want to empower the systems within to resolve the issues, and is looking to use his political capital in the right places.

it’s some plot holes/stupid stuff I noticed watching. Here’s a comprehensive list , I can’t remember anything specific because I watched it about a year ago and you know, flippantly.
tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/…/DeathNote
One part of my perception of Light is that he expects killing every petty criminal would solve all crime forever and that society would evolve into worship of him or something stupid like that. He does nothing to address actual social ills or people with enormous amounts of power or anything like that. Other similar holes in logic, putting himself in many contrived and risky situations , the final showdown, etc etc.
Also, the show was very much a product of the post 9/11 world and its views on justice and human rights abuses.
- Comment on Superman/Clark Kent is actually worse than Light Yagami/Kira when it comes to lying. 1 day ago:
Light was a teenager. He’s always lived an easy sheltered life under the care of his parents. He’s lacking any real life experience. In my mind, his juvenile sense of justice is right in line with someone of that immaturity especially given the power he got from the Death Note.
sure thing. It’s just combining that with the “I smelt the onion in his farts, that only grows in the nagasaki region” style writing of “smart, observant people” makes the show kinda silly , while the tone is suuuuper serious about everything.
I watched it out of curiosity and to practice my spanish (netflix dub). In a way I’m glad I gave it a miss in its heyday when I was at uni.
- Comment on Superman/Clark Kent is actually worse than Light Yagami/Kira when it comes to lying. 1 day ago:
Light is an asshole, bully and ironically idiot. he uses the deathnote in an infantile manner and his sense of justice is juvenile.
also, deathnote was mid.

Kids are not good or bad, they’re asshole because they don’t know better.
Kinda. They want to do what they want, and need to know where the boundaries are. so they push on the edges of the boundaries.
It’s quite tiring.

Every single fucking piece of AI intelletualism seems to be :
We took everything that people have made and turned it into a statistical model. We are outraged that it’s accuracy is similar to an average person, sometimes better and sometimes worse based on the weighting of the data we fed it.
Surprised pikachu face.
It’s trying to find the most statistically likely response to your inputs. if it thinks the situation will statistically lead to whatever response/behaviour, it will do it.
“Why does ‘pretty woman’ come up with only white women?” because the data set human beings created or fed into it had a disproportionate amount of images tagged of pretty white women and less pictures tagged of pretty black women. It’s the fucking data set, it’s a statistical , non deterministic, heavily biased machine. Of course it’s giving out biased BS.
