    That looks much more like a data artifact than an accurate representation of behavior.

    I think that the trajectory of the three low dots matches the overall slope very closely in a way that looks far more like a flat subtraction of all three. If it was behavioral, I think you’d see the behavior come and go over the course of several days.


  • I think what you and @mossyfeathers@MossyFeathers@pawb.social are picking up on is that youth-coded descriptors are often terms of endearment. They’re often used flirtatiously and towards people of whom you feel protective.

    Conversely, adult names imply responsibility. Is it a problem to describe men in a way that implies responsibility and women in a way that implies protectiveness? Not necessarily.

    I just think this stuff is linguistically interesting. I think it’s more grammatically typical to use equivalent terms to create parallel construction when comparing the sexes. Again, no judgment is intended.









  • I hope it’s good. That said, I thought the writing and characterization for Fisk in Hawkeye was rather disappointing. And also, the writing for the later half Daredevil season 2 on Netflix was… not good. I don’t recall if I saw the third season, but I remember being very genuinely disappointed in The Defenders. Not disappointed like a bitter comic book nerd, more disappointed like a parent. Like… there was so much there you could’ve done! That was all? Oh well. Points for trying, I still love you.

    Anyway, time will tell. I’m happy that they’re trying, but I won’t get my hopes up yet.






  • Thanks for sharing this. I wasn’t familiar with this channel, not I’m liking it.

    I just read that this guy was part of Nebula and was forced out. It’s remarkable that he’s forced out for speaking openly and defending his beliefs when Isaac Arthur is tolerated despite having much more onerous politics but having them in secret. Smh.
