#click to cancel

[follow-up-news]

As part of the Federal Trade Commission’s ongoing review of its 1973 Negative Option Rule, the FTC proposed in March amendments to the rule and asked for public comment on those changes. Today, California Attorney General Rob Bonta, along with 25 other attorneys general, have submitted a letter of comment in support of the FTC’s proposed amendments in response to the request.  The Negative Option Rule covers business sales related to subscriptions, memberships and other recurring payment programs. Negative Option Offers allow businesses to interpret a consumer’s silence or failure to take affirmative action as an acceptance of an offer. One of the rule changes is the “click to cancel” provision to make it just as easy for consumers to cancel unwanted subscriptions, as it was for them to sign up.

Can't stop thinking about Cellbit putting himself in harms way to protect Roier from Cucurucho and how, just days prior, Forever did the exact same thing for Maximus.

#i talk #qsmp talk #QSMP #Guapoduo #Ohnanaduo #LISTEN MAN THEIR whatever they got going on MEANS SO MUCH TO ME #On the one hand: I think Forever can do a LOT of development and growth as a person now that he realizes he doesn't NEED a relationship #On the other hand: Maximus would treat him SO well #Forever and Maximus instantly clicked on day one #also someone recently pointed out that Roier was the first person Cellbit saw when they arrived on the Island #and Maximus was the first person Forever saw #the parallels are KILLING me #also there's the whole Sapo Peta thing. I literally canceled the post I was writing about that mid-paragraph because I remembered this #anyways TLDR: I think Forever deserves to meet Sapo Peta. Sapo Peta would treat him so well too #Forever doesn't NEED to be in a relationship. I'm just saying if he WANTED one then Maximus would be my number 1 choice for him #also Cellbit is DEFINITELY with us on that he said the most beautiful thing the other day-- #he was like (paraphrased): #''Max needs to understand that Forever is like a delicate flower. He likes Max the way he is'' #''He just needs to cultivate it the right way'' #LIKE??????????? #CELLBIT C'MON THAT KILLS ME STOP #It really reminded me of how Vegetta described his character (in Karmaland) as a boy with a fragile heart #:(((( #They both have so much love and confidence but underneath it all they have very fragile hearts #agh #but anyways: Maximus and Forever have a beautiful friendship #and it was so sweet how Maximus comforted him after the wedding #(after Phil turned him down again a final time) #and Forever said ''you always seem to be there for me when I need it'' #it was so sweet and my heart ached for poor Forever

Bed Friend is such a good example of why even though I hate the miscommunication trope, I lowkey love the misunderstanding trope.

Because the truth is that Uea and King are actually pretty good at talking to each other and saying what they mean. The problem is that they are working from different frames of reference and neither, especially King, has the context to understand the other person's motives and how they will take what they've said.

So King is giving his best Tracy Chapman,

"Give me one reason to stay here and I'll turn right back around."

at the moment, and trying to make it clear he wants nothing to do with this arranged marriage, but needs to know Uea cares about losing him - needs to be in a relationship before he can use his relationship as an excuse to get out of this obligation.

But what he actually told Uea at the start of this, when Uea was up front about not believing he could actually commit, was:

If I'm serious about someone, I only care about them. And the only way you'll be convinced is if you give me a chance to prove it to you.

So Uea gives him that chance, and most importantly says:

If we meet someone else we want to be with, this is over.

The conflict of episode 6 isn't that they're not communicating properly, but that this shouldn't be a conflict at all based on what they've already said. We know throughout the whole episode that Uea isn't going to be the one to tell King he wants to stay together, because he already said he wants to be exclusive and gave King the terms of them staying together. We know Uea isn't going to ask King to take their relationship more seriously, because King already said that if he's serious, no one else matters to him.

Uea has no reason not to believe that if King wanted him as a partner, he would have already walked away from the arrangement. It seems an awful lot like King is trying to skirt a very clear hard-line rule.

And King has no reason not to believe that if Uea wanted to make their relationship official, he would have done so. Maybe after any of the times King had no problem calling himself Uea's boyfriend, or explained how he really doesn't want Uea to meet anyone else.

"If you want me, you need to ask me to stay." vs. "If you wanted me, I wouldn't have to ask you to stay."

As honest and vulnerable with each other as they've already been, they just don't know what they don't know.

#bed friend #bed friend the series #bed friend spoilers #bed friend episode 6 #it's not like Uea is asking King to read his mind #King read the TOS and clicked I accept #he wanna upgrade his plan but he's supposed to be working on his credit score #canceling your vacation to go on a date with someone else does not look good on your report bud

i’ve been gone all day i know but i just got back from my date and it went surprisingly well and i kind of smell like him right now, we didn’t rly do anything just had tea in a super zen tea house + talked a lot and he sat next to me at some point and joked about asking the owner for a copy of the surveillance footage from this evening as a token of our first date lmao

literally fae konig is so dog coded.

he bites.

but as soon as you put something on it that tastes bad??

nothing except sad puppy eyes.

imagine liebling looking at websites of how to train your aggressive dog. and things like that. putting the no bite spray on themselves and konig hates it so much

He is so dog coded. Liebling uses dog training techniques on him lol. Clicks her little clicker when he does something good to try and enforce the behavior she likes. Tries to explain it to Love who's like "bestie what the hell are you talking about, he's not a dog." As if König doesn't love the praise Liebling gives him for doing things she likes.

But watch out if he finds out...

Liebling wouldn't mind the bitting so much if he wasn't so rough about it. He's gotta be more careful of his teeth! But he gets so excited that he forgets to dull them for her.

#biting is a love language #its my love language #yall ever feel your teeth just itch and you know your gotta bite something? #is that just me? #ghoul speaks #this isnt a bit i genuinely feel the need to bite people #my sister has been bitten multiple times #my flight got fucking canceled im so fucking mad #clicking my teeth

karl gets a snapchat and posts on it semi regularly like not all the time but, you know, maybe a few pictures a day with like two days where he doesn't post anything and then sapnap and george and dream are all together for banter live and all of a sudden he starts posting a lot of pictures of sapnap doing random things - brushing his teeth, eating cereal, being on his phone, napping in weird positions (there are a lot of these) - and then nothing at all, meaning he's just sitting smiling and bam karl's snapped a picture, and it's fine and normal bc it's all interspersed with pictures of like the set and george and dream bc he's obviously there too and just random things about his day, and sapnap is posting the occasional picture of his shoes and the clouds and whatever and then right in the middle there's like the most loving adoring candid of karl with like wondrous lighting and it's clear he doesn't know he's on camera and his smile is so so bright and he's beautiful. and then sapnap deletes it. and keeps posting his random stuff like nothing happened. fast forward a few weeks and all of a sudden karl is posting snapchats of sapnap and him and sapnap and everyone is like omg meetup?? but then they see that karl is posting from camera roll but he's posting A LOT OF PHOTOS which means his gallery is not only full of the two of them but also just sapnap which is fine we're all fine and then all of a sudden karl posts the most boyfriends in love picture of them you've ever seen in your life and sapnap starts posting pictures he's taken of them and it escalates like first it's just them together and then karl posts a picture of sapnap tucked into his chest and then sapnap posts a video of them walking and holding hands etc etc and they're flirting in their captions and addressing the other and then it's dead silence for like a day. and then karl posts a picture of him leaning in and kissing sapnap on the cheekand sapnap's eyes are closed and hes so so in love. like it's obvious they're in love. and the caption is i love you. and sapnap posts a picture of him smiling at the camera with the softest expression ever. and then like some days later karl tweets a screenshot of his text messages with sapnap asking him out on a date and the caption is "i said no" and sapnap is like "that's not what you said but it's ok i still love you" and then replies to himself like "*we" and that's where i woke up

#IT WAS A DREAM 😭😭😭😭 it was so wild like i was throwing up losing my mind on here and you guys were trying to cancel me for falling for #them just pandering and doing it for clicks bc they cant be together etc etc and on twitter we were having the time of our life it was #so fucking awesome. but apparently im just crazy insane so #karlnap is real god bless america #insanisms #:/ #long post

Re: Netflix's live-action Avatar the Last Airbender

I was 12 when the animated series started airing.

I caught episodes as they came on Nickelodeon, but I didn’t watch it religiously start-to-finish. I caught episodes when they happened to be on and I happened to be watching TV (I was NOT part of the generation that had unlimited access to shows - tv/computer/video game time was strictly monitored in my household) so there were some episodes I saw over and over again, and others I never did see.

I think it was around middle/high school (honestly can't remember - it was one of the two) that the show got put on Netflix and I started watching it from the beginning with my brother and some friends. Needless to say, I've been a die-hard fan ever since.

I think the animated show is incredibly well done and the storytelling is super on-point for what I love in media. Zuko's redemption arc is still the best arc I've ever seen, and the character growth is amazing.

I had never really fallen into the 'it's not perfect, but…' way of analyzing media, so I never dwelt too much on its flaws - I'd much rather focus on the things it got right as literally every piece of media has flaws and things that could be changed to make it better.

So yeah, hyperbolically, the animated version of ATLA is 'perfect' - but since people insist on anything that's not perfect being drug through the mud and hyperbolically being called 'garbage', I guess I have to dredge up the things I didn't care so much for in the animated version while analyzing how the live-action handled it (or avoided handling it).

I was super excited for the film adaptation - again, announced while I was in high school. I was looking forward to it so much - then, well, we know what happened there.

Things were changed that didn't make sense to change (the pronunciation of character names, the 'test' for figuring out who the Avatar is, the poor bending where movements didn't align to what was happening with the CGI, casting of white people when the characters were always meant to be indigenous and all asian ethnicities, among other issues people have made many essays about)

So, when this was first announced, I was SKEPTICAL.

While the trailer looked good, it seemed very safe - I recognized everything in it and it looked well made, but like, that doesn't mean the whole thing will be good - or justify its existence.

I tried to ignore any 'leaks' or interview quotes because those are always misconstrued so much and people hear one sentence and create a massive narrative in their head about what that sentence means and usually, all their bellyaching assumptions they made from that piece of info is just a non-issue once the show actually comes out.

I didn't give any credence to people screaming about "Sokka isn't going to be sexist anymore?? It's ruined!!" or "They're going for a Game of Thrones tone?? They don't understand Avatar at all!!" or "No side-quests?? They don't understand the point of the show!!"

First off, invoking the demon that is Game of Thrones is just a marketing tactic - that's all it is: MARKETING!! Just like EVERY YA book for years was 'The new Hunger Games' now it's 'The new Game of Thrones' even when the story at hand is NOTHING AT ALL LIKE THOSE THINGS!! It's literally, let me cradle your face gently in my hands, JUST a marketing ploy to get you to see a recent title you DO recognize and have (assumedly) heard good things about (ie popular) so that you then pick up the thing that they slapped that name onto.

Creators rarely have say in what their creation is likened to, they're told by marketing companies to go with it (if they're told anything at all) and they just say "yes, marketing team I have no control over, whatever you say".

Also, a passing comment in an interview is off-the cuff and when someone makes a comment like that, people read WAY too far into it and it's usually not nearly as deep as people make it out to be. That's why I just wait for the actual thing to come out and just watch it and judge it based on what it is, not some narrative someone else has created for it based on half a quote from some random interview.

So going into this: why the live-action adaptation? Why was it necessary?

In my opinion, the answer to this question is the thing many fans hate the most: altering the original story.

A beat-for-beat remake isn't necessary - the original is right there, so in order to 'earn' the right for this adaptation to exist, that necessitates changes to be made that add to the themes, deepen the lore, and delve into different aspects of the world in ways a child's cartoon can't.

So, I'm looking for not a 1-1 remake, but rather an adaptation that enhances the themes, irons out some uneven characterization/pacing, updates the story just enough to really get what they want to across, and delve more directly into some of the harsher aspects of the war.

I have always felt that Iroh's involvement in the Fire Nation military was glossed over a lot in the cartoon - I suspect because he's supposed to be a good guy and we can't have our good guys be overtly war criminals responsible for the deaths of thousands of people.

The effects of hard decisions made during war are shown in the animation, but the decision making process itself is rarely talked about until the very end with the gaang's struggle to keep helping people while also knowing where to focus their energy and Aang's struggle finding a way to stop the firelord without killing him.

something this adaptation can do is actually show the people making the decisions - and directly talking about the horrible effects of it. I'll get to it later, but that's one of the major themes in Episode 4 that I'll talk more on then.

Especially in Book 1, like many first books/seasons, the worldbuilding isn't fully fleshed out and the themes that really come to fruition later aren't as tight as they could be at the beginning. If the adaptation can go ahead and seed/tighten the themes that become big deals later on here at the beginning, it will 'justify' it's existence as the story retold after the whole story has already been plotted out.

Just like with the Percy Jackson and Wheel of Time adaptation, those writing for the show have the benefit of knowing how the story ends and all the stuff that's added to the world building as time goes on that wasn't necessarily known by the authors when they wrote and published the first books - the benefit of hindsight allows the show's script to take into consideration these additions and seed them early on to make the story more cohesive and reinforce themes.

So, this analysis is going to be long and filled with minute details, beat by beat for the episodes.

I have seen so many takes that I just sit and scratch my head at and think 'that was so obvious in the show - how did you miss/misinterpret that thing so wildly?' that I guess what I took for granted as obvious in the show, others didn't, so here's me being pedantic and over-explaining everything so maybe others can see that 1) they aren't the only ones who saw this interpretation and 2) maybe others will see the scenes a different way

Still trying to decide how to break up the analysis as the episode recaps are going to be LONG and since people now demand to see all the citations for stuff, the character analysis posts will be long too as I pull direct scenes to show why I feel the way I do.

I don't want to overload the posts and make it so they're just annoying to read, so I'll probably break them up into the sections of the episodes and maybe break up the character posts.
