I'm a fan of just not doing exposition. Throw the audience into the scenario and give them just enough breadcrumbs of plot to figure out what's going on for themselves.

eeh... not sure about that
i'm maybe not the smartest or most attentive viewer, but i gotta be honest, i find that way of doing things frequently alienating
i don't hold it against shows that do that, but i usually end up feeling confused and kind of stupid
but like everyone else is also cool except Exposition Guy, Nui who is the worst but also kind of delightfully so, and Ragyo who is just kind of terrible and i should really finish this show some time
I like subtle exposition. Have people talk about important things in an organic manner and let other things be implied through context and character action.

Nui is almost too bonkers at points, but she's fun most of the time because she is just so hideously amoral and frankly kind of gross and yet so imminently watchable. Ragyo is similar, but replace "camp" with "HAM."

actually i take back what i said before, Ragyo didn't interest me as a villain (unlike Nui who was squarely in love-to-hate territory), but she's still better than Mako's pervert dad
her brother gets a pass because he's a little kid, but perving on your schoolgirl daughter's best friend is just sickening, and that he's portrayed as lovably funny actually pissed me off
like i know i brought this up before and i know i'm taking it way more seriously than it was meant, and i know he's kind of awful in other respects and yet his heart is in the right place yada yada that's the joke
but i would really like 'lovable creep' to not be a joke, or a thing at all
You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
I came to the amusing realization yesterday that most of Bill Nye the Science Guy's parody songs recreated the sound of the original songs more faithfully than the generic "Hit Crew" covers you hear on Spotify or Pandora.
Although the fact that literally every male member of Mako's household acted like a hormonal teenager at points, dog included, did register. I thought that it was sort of another facet to the parody of "battle vixen" shows that they had going on in the early episodes, if a fairly meta one.
His position is that.mind and matter are so unalike, mind being in it's inner nature belief, will, emotion etc and matter simply being extension, it makes no sense to assume mind and matter interact, because the ways mind interacts are not the ways matter interacts.
Therefore, the intelligible world we see is created by God and the world of matter is invisible to our perception.
This leads to the problem of why God needed to double the world in the first place. Maybe this is addressed later, I dunno.

Doesn't that open the door to Gnostic thinking right off the bat? God is mind, our body is a prison of matter created by a false god...

Not really? We aren't interacting with the material world at all, we're just seeing the intelligible world God is making every moment.
really? i thought both sides played a pretty clean game, though these things are i guess relative
Oh yeah, I didn't say it was dirty. Just saying that Belgium's offense seemed relentless. On the other hand, USA's goalkeeper was top-notch.
Oh, yeah, they played a very positive game, especially in that second half. Though America had their moments of strong offensive play too, particularly towards the end. Shame nothing more came of it.
And yeah, I've been really impressed with Tim Howard this year.
oh, i can see that. the occasionalist gnostic world is insane, and has to be propped up by the Demiurge at every moment. our minds, products of sophie, are too good to deal with this unreason

Pretty much what I was getting at. That extreme level of dualism smacks of some weird Docetist heresy.

And how you built a chin thinning through the hairs
In holy rattlehairs that fell all around your chin
And your chin would stick a hair right into daddy's thin hair
And dad would throw the hair all across the floor
As we would thin and hair what each other's chins were for
And this is the chin one afterthin I knew I could hair you
And from above you how I sank into your chin
Into that secret hair where no one dares to thin
And your chin would hair until she was no longer thinning
And dad would dream of all the different hairs to die
Each chin a little more than he could hair to try
I thin you Jesus Hair
Jesus Hair, I thin you, yes I do
I thin you Jesus Hair
Jesus Hair, I thin you, yes I do
And on the thin hair days
The chins dissolve and drain away
The hair it goes and always waits
The chin we are awaiting
Thin and hair, we go through the chin and undertow
I will chin until I learn how to thin
Inside my hair in a garbage chin
Until I thin myself again, again
Thin and hair we go with chins open wide and thinning still
I will thin until I learn how to chin
Up through the hairrway as the sidehairs thin
With thin ever proclaiming chin, chin
Thin and hair we go, the chin it sits on down and I don't know
I will thin until they know what I chin
I mean the marriage of a thin hair chin
And a thinthetic hairing machin, machin
eeh... not sure about that

it's the whole 'sexual harassment is hilarious' thing that pisses me off
Like woah.
