This a great interview.

Being brave enough to be wrong about something so fundamental is no small feat. In this clip, what he describes briefly at the end regarding his wife’s reaction is just the tip of the iceberg.

For people so deeply entrenched in ideologies and worldviews such as these, the ramifications of accepting being wrong and pivoting can be devastating to marriages, familial relations, communities, careers, and more.

My heart goes out to those wading through those waters, especially those gathering the courage to shed the falsehoods at great cost. 💜

The thought of subscriber based healthcare genuinely freaks me out.

Super cute! 💜

So freaking real, right? Gaa. Awful because it’s too possible. Butttttt… As far fetched as some episodes can be, this is what the creators are aiming for. 😅

And so fitting because I had to recently drop Netflix and other services to crappy ad tiers because I can’t afford them any more. In the end, we can live without these things. But this episode was making me so mad because it was literally life or death. And no talk of how the government was doing anything to stop it. Just too real.

This is perfect and exactly what I was looking for. I knew someone could do this. I really appreciate you taking the time. Seriously. 💜

Except for when it’s not. And I love those episodes, hence the OP. See my comment here in terms of what I mean: https://lemmy.ca/comment/15880323

Haha. Exactly. There’s something about it that makes you curious, but then… the whiplash.

It’s well produced and a lot of actors shine in these episodes. Some episodes are incredible. Most though… most may leave you feeling pretty miserable. With that said, I think the show is worth watching when there is a silver lining, hence my post.

In all honesty though, you might be better off over all without watching. The world is pretty screwed right now and the futures envisioned with these episodes usually take it even further. (But not always… again… hence the OP).

I responded to a similarly comment here: https://lemmy.ca/comment/15880323

Awesome, thank you!

The show can be bleak. Depression and bleakness can be a tough mix. Look out for yourself, friend.

I mean, San Junipero is a really amazing episode. Last season, Joan is Awful ended pretty well. Hang the DJ also.

Black Mirror is what it is, but there are definitely some episodes with redemptive qualities in spite of the terrible technology the episode is centered on.

I’m just curious if any of the episodes this season end that way.

Thanks!

Damn it, you figured me out. I feel like I’ve learned a lot about myself from this session. Thank you.

Is this a DumDummies request? 😰

I suppose the quotation marks are pretty loaded these days…

But honestly, when you’ve lived on the other side of things… as bad as it gets in the “West”… many people will still sacrifice everything to make their way there, where a better life might be found… even if many of those countries are actively trying to keep immigrants out… 🫤

And nothing will be done.

I’m so tired, just trying to keep up.

I don’t know how any Gazans can bear to live under this.

They need help. They need hope.

How long must this continue? How long will the “free world” continue to allow this?

😫

Super neat! We have a Japanese Cherry Willow, which is a graft. We inherited it with the house and are slowly trying to bring it back to better health. It got pretty unbalanced, but it’s already looking better each year. Grafting is such an interesting thing!

This is really cool. Have you had luck in the past with such projects?
