This show was recommended to me recently and though I've not been obsessed with it, it's been watchable. Just got to episode 3 and long story short they run an MMO company and it's come to their attention that there are a bunch of nazis who play their game. The episode culminated in them making a private server just for the nazis. This is a widely agreed upon solution and it does not seem solely motivated by "evil money man". I thought maybe I had missed some nuance so I looked it up and there's an article (linked below) where the writers of the show seemingly pat themselves on the back for coming up with such a fair and balanced solution.

Am I missing something here? Have I gone too woke? The community is still filled with nazis who will likely still be engaging in online and offline activities related to the game. You as a company have seemingly no desire to distance yourself from that kind of community? The issue with nazis is not just that they're mean to people in your video game and giving them their own private Nazi clubhouse does not seem like the solution. There's that popular story about how a bar will slowly become a Nazi bar and I just don't know why that's not a concern for the writers of the show or the team in universe. This is not an always sunny type show where the people are supposed to be bad or incompetent and the whole episode rubbed me the wrong way. Has anyone seen the show? When I looked at other discussions online people were actively saying this was their favorite episode?

McElhenney joked that he thinks his server-banning plan may be able to work in real life. “You know what? That’s what we gotta do. Let’s get Zuckerberg on the phone!”

Has anyone seen this?

I'm a fan of period pieces, and can tolerate some Netflix slop, but my goodness is the writing bad. I'm not familiar with the original book, so maybe it's a feature of that, but the main character insists she's headstrong not fierce, then takes issue with being called stubborn all within a couple minutes of runtime. She brings a whole bag of books to her grandmothers and is excited about the library, but when there's quiet time in the evening doesn't bother to even have a book in hand? I'm not sure if it's supposed to be funny because she's young and still figuring herself out, but it just seems like the script was written piecemeal by some weird write one line then pass it along rules. The only consistent thing seems to be that that the characters are all obnoxious. People speak in exposition with no intentionality. Not to mention the terrible music choices. It seems like a very visually appealing show, I just cannot get past the first episode. Does it get any better?

For context, Ashley is one of the women who had a baby with Elon and who wrote an anti-trans children's book. I'm not a religious watcher, but I'll occasionally watch one of Taylor's videos. This one had me on the fence for the first 20 minutes, but the latter half made me a bit more accepting of a possible change in Ashley. I don't think the change was prompted by a desire within herself, and she clearly has a lot more work to do, but I'm open to see her change. I'm mostly seeing lip service in this interview and would have preferred a more "hard hitting" approach, but I don't think that's what Taylor really does. The comments seem pretty mixed on the interview and Ashley overall.

I'm not really into flowers, so I'm looking for some advice. I have grocery store orchids from two years ago that are always in bloom. They have 3-7 flowers each basically nonstop. Unfortunately they have far outgrown the 17" stakes I put in their very small original pots and I don't know what my best option would be. I water them with two ice cubes once a week and I'm not looking to really increase the level of investment I'm putting in. I know I'm not doing a lot, but I've not had to feed them or mist them or any of the other things I keep reading online and I'd like to not have to worry about that. My main issue is that they are getting way too tall. I read that you can cut the stems, but I'm worried that any cutting will prompt additional flowering and maybe a need for more water or food or something that I likely won't be able to recognize causing them to die. I also keep seeing people talk about pots with holes and special airable soil, but they are in little plastic cups and I can lift them straight up and the soil is basically a solid almost styrofoam-like consistency so I'm not sure I believe what I'm reading. Any advice or suggestions to preserve the low maintenance aspect while trimming and possibly repotting would be greatly appreciated. I looked online and this post is my exact same experience to a T: https://www.reddit.com/r/orchids/comments/1igq42f/my_orchid_is_over_3_feet_tall_and_not_sure_what/

Most comments there say to cut the spikes so it focuses on leaves and roots, but I really don't think they have enough space for more leaves or roots, and I'm worried that repotting will ruin whatever my streak is with keeping them alive on just ice cubes since that seems uncommon. I've never kept a flowering plant alive for this long, despite a thriving vegetable and herb garden, so I'm a bit attached. If I cut just the ends of the spikes will it still flower? Should I cut the whole spike and just hope it doesn't get too big for the pot? Is repotting really as care intensive as the comments suggest?

Was looking at .world while logged out to find some communities to sub to, and noticed that [email protected] is not coming up while logged in. I can see [email protected], but I can't find the aljazeera community and if I go to a profile that posts on it I see other posts, just not posts in that community. I have not blocked any users or communities. Is this possibly a reddthat thing? This does not appear to be an issue on non-reddthat accounts.

Thank you!

I was a big fan of the previous fruit smoothie, and would sometimes stop at Costco just for that if I was already in the area shopping, or had a rough day and wanted a pick me up. Recently had a rough day and went to Costco on my lunch break. I noticed they didn't have the fruit smoothie anymore and instead had a new strawberry banana one. I was a bit disappointed, but I was there so I ordered it anyway. I didn't finish it and offered the rest to a coworker once I got back to work. I had one sip and it was just too sweet, in a bad way. I looked it up and apparently it has more servings of fruit, but somehow it tastes extremely artificial. If I end up at McDonalds I will sometimes order their strawberry banana smoothie, and this was similar, but somehow much worse? I'm not sure if I was just expecting better and it was so disappointing that maybe I didn't give it a chance, but I will not be ordering it again. Just letting you all know in case you get curious. I enjoy the food and the prices are great, but I don't think I'll be going there as a treat anymore. Will probably just limit it to when I happen to get hungry while shopping there. Unfortunate, because I would probably make a special trip basically just for the smoothie about once a month. I know it's not enough to single-handedly keep it on the menu, but still.
