So there were NO guards watching the future king heir?? Wondering if that will be a plot point next week.

Also why is there almost no discussion here? It's a popular show and thought there would be more activity....

I just started Slewfoot! I won't read the spoiler but am definitely feeling the sluggish part. It's still holding my attention though.

It was good and held my attention. Pace and dialogue felt right and the mystery didn't feel too cliche. I was dumb and read the plot for the next two books so I'm not as eager to continue, but I am looking forward to how the next season of the TV series goes.

Yeah definitely that's how I understood it, but now it sounds like they are categorizing Hispanic as a race not an ethnicity.

Yes! I was thinking Nausicaa would be beautiful to see on the big screen. I did Howl's last year and it was nice too.

Just finished Wool, first book in the Silo series

I know this isn't that important in the grand scheme of things, but I will always be confused on what to put for myself. My family comes from Central America (I have dual citizenship), so I should pick Hispanic, right? But my family is also white Hispanic, my cousin's have a range of blonde and red hair, light eyes. I also have some Asian Hispanics in my family.

Hispanic really isn't a race and it feels like I'm not supposed to pick it on the census because I don't have the right skin color.

Whereas someone who does look Hispanic the way people think of, but maybe their family hasn't lived there for generations, they get to be considered more Hispanic than me. It's just confusing.

Yes! In the spirit of posting, some of the things I'd like to see more engagement in (and I'll do my part) are television, movie, and book communities. On reddit I loved discussing the latest episodes of my favorite shows or hearing about theories in the books I'm reading.

I agree and I also think companies will (or are) going to try more "organic" marketing by going into comments and pretending to be customers and recommend their products.

I thought about that when I went to a new hair salon and in their new customer form one of the questions was "how did you hear about us" and one of the options was Reddit.

I kind of would rather have ads if I had to because they are easier to identify. Now I can't trust people in the Reddit comments.

White Lotus nooo!

If it's to hang out with friends then those private karaoke rooms are a lot of fun

Thanks for the great write up! You have some good suggestions I haven't tried. I'm encouraged.
