Hold up, does this mean we can’t participate in the first challenge if we only have Java?

4·2 days agoYeah this is the only part of the reaction that I’m not aligned with.
As you’ve mentioned the MP is elected as your representative, regardless of party, but a lot of people tend to vote with the understanding that their representative will tow the party line.

Hmm dehydrated brains might need a second take if she were searching in a dark freezer. I like it.
The first episode showed the Others collecting the dead. A few episodes later it’s revealed that they don’t kill, but are perfectly fine consuming already dead organisms.
Helen’s corpse is a recurring reminder up until this episode to the point that Carol has to bury it—an act we never see the Others do, so the popular theory right now is that the bodies are probably consumed. I keep coming back to my Aquamation theory because of the result of the contents in the milk cartons and now also because of the previous energy conservation efforts. Aquamation takes a fair bit of energy to heat the bodies that get processed, and doing it to nearly a billion people would be no small feat.
The powdered substance found in the dog food bags are likely crushed bones (basically calcium) or crystallized aquamated people used to fertilize or be consumed.
Of course Carol is shocked to see something, but we’ll need to wait and see what exactly.
Whether or not I’m onto something it’s an illuminating look into the funerary world and the alternatives that exist to embalming and a casket.

75·16 days agoSo 6 days of 12-hour shifts? Sounds like a pretty novel way to tank your economy because no one’ll have the time to spend money or raise a family.

9·18 days agoI think it could be a Soylent Green misdirect, but only because I want to believe that Vince Gilligan is smarter than spelling out the twist this way. Until we find out more next week my guess is the bodies are being Aqua cremated. How the milk cartons are involved is anyone’s guess.

3·20 days agoI think I’m mixing the two because there are services that kind of turn Mastodon into an RSS reader.
That’s true that it is somewhat more robust than requiring a federated account, but I think that comes at the cost of discoverability which may or may not be something you might want to broadcast on a social network anyway 🤷♂️
