women are so obviously not sure about the situation but they are not done with my partner

Exactly this. It also lacks the gravity of an entire concept album preceding it and two minutes of static death sounds at the end. It's a sanitized cover of a song that shouldn't be sanitized.

"I'm a bitch, I'm a lover, I'm a child, I'm a mother" might play better than just acceptance of the term.

Those other Christians aren't true Christians.

It really helps you to hear it in his voice, though.

I'll even accept "joolry".

It's very, very costly, both but the hardware and the electricity it takes to run it. There may be a bit of sunk cost fallacy at play for some, especially the execs who are calling for AI Everything, but in the end, in AI doesn't generate enough increase in revenue to offset its operational costs, even those execs will bow out. I think the economics of AI will cause the bubble to burst because end users aren't going to pay money for a service that does a mediocre job at most things but costs more.

Tori Amos's Silent All These Years. That mercurial little piano riff. The painful lyrics. The liberation of the middle eight. It's a perfect song.

Yes, media portrays coming out as something you do once and then you're out! Really, it's something you do over and over again with every person or group you come out to. Some people are easier to come out to than others. Whether we do it and how we do it depends a lot on the specific circumstances.

Edit: I once heard this terminology reversed and it really resonated with me. That is, it's not about who you are out to but who you let in. It's a privilege to be on the inside, not an obligation for you to be out.

"Filmed on a canoe" is how I put it.

The sequel was worse: a hackneyed "elements" magic system and a plot that would only work on a much longer time scale. Too much stuff crammed into too little movie.
