Unfortunately, that's not how it's being interpreted by conservative and "liberal" (i.e. centrist) media.

Most recently, Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, had great world building and character development.

A week is one quarter of a moon cycle. Basically we either have to choose solar or lunar and solar makes more sense because of seasons. Problem is we chose both.

Yeah, that's one reason I'll never get an official Autism diagnosis. The misinformation about autism that politicians work with is gross. I mostly blame the companies like Autism Speaks who present it as a disease to be cured so parents don't feel bad about making their kids mask rather than most forms being simply a sociologically induced disability because people are too lazy to adapt and too many exploitative social practices exist that neurotypicals can adapt to easily, but many neurodivergent people can't and they don't want to give up the exploitation.

Much like book bans in school libraries that have moved to city libraries and all the other bans that started in schools, this will soon move from bans on children getting healthcare, to bans on adults getting healthcare once they use the "save the children" rhetoric to make their followers comfortable with the prejudices in general.

That's just how microwave popcorn is. I just put the microwave on for 9 min or whatever large number is easy to start and wait until the popping slows to a second or two between pops. There's no way to have a perfect amount of time for all brands and packages of popcorn. Not to mention shrink-flation has made the time need to be shorter and different altitude changes how long it takes among other things. I have heard that some microwaves actually have been made with a microphone to listen for the time between pops, but I've never used one. But since they can't be adjusted for your preferences, I've heard they usually burn it anyway. It's always better to have it a little under popped than a little burnt IMHO. Once you do it a few times for a particular brand you'll find the right amount of time if you need to walk away.

Don't worry, in a couple of months, the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division will be going away since it's considered too "woke" and the attorney general will be too busy with shoving immigrants into makeshift concentration camps, making sure that women die when their pregnancies go wrong, jailing Trump's "enemies", and gutting the justice system to "break down legal restrictions and traditional protections against political interference” since that's what Trump and Gaetz have said are the priorities. Problem solved. /s

Deciding to ignore something that causes people to suffer because it doesn't affect you is wrong. Not having a set opinion on how to fix it is perfectly normal. Not everyone can understand the details enough to form an informed opinion. Just don't decide something isn't a problem because one group says it's not without real evidence, especially if they're the ones who created and/or benefit from the problem.

Assuming it's not just using body doubles which is the easiest way, usually you film the same actor twice with the camera left in place and then splice the two films together either by physically cutting and pasting the film or more recently with software. The software also has the advantage that it can blend things better, and fix lighting differences, and differences in film exposure which isn't as big of an issue now with film quality being more consistent. Often in older films you can often see an obvious difference between the two shots.

There's also some films where they take a much easier approach where they film one scene and then use a green screen for the second take. This allows for doing the takes at different times since the camera might get moved or other small changes that are difficult to work around in a single day and allows for multiple camera angles to be used more easily, but it can be difficult to get the aspect ratios and depth just right, so it often looks less natural if the first take has the character along the same or too similar of a plane of depth as the second.

Not give up. Just move away from corporate owned social media which generally has biases baked in and allows for easy manipulation by the company. The one we're on right now is not one of those and there are lots of other alternatives. Not that they're perfect, just that money and especially wealthy individuals aren't able to easily and singlehandedly manipulate millions of people by purging factual but dissenting information.

"Woke"just means logic- and fact-based now. So it's as much a "cult" as scientists were called a "cult" by religions in the past.

I'd be willing to bet she's a single mother and these people are just going after her for that sin and to flaunt their power over someone they perceive as weak and evil. Otherwise, it makes no sense at all. I was forced to walk to the store alone many times starting at like 6 or 7, and I rode my bike all over the place from like 8 and up, way more than a mile from the house. And the crime rates are way lower now in most of the country. And there weren't cell phones.
