@jordigh @mattcropp I agree. But I'm talking specifically about S02, which is much more intimate. S01 was solid workmanship, but not unique. They're taking more risks on this iteration. -

@mattcropp @jordigh If you describe it, it may superficially sound like each episode is just a new excuse to sling shit at Jessica (and others) and see her deal with it, like she's some kind of Mark Watney, but it's not like that. Not throwing shade on Weir here, Inloved The Martian, but that's how he describes having written it, and that's fine for that story.
Everything that happens in JJ S02 comes from the characters and the story arc(s), plus from the earlier arcs and her gradually revealed background. That's why it hits so hard, because it doesn't feel manufactured. -

@mattcropp @jordigh S01 was "only" Very Good TV. Solid plot, solid characters, everything well executed and paced. But S02 is very aggressively emotional and really gets under my skin. So intense.
I feel like they're expertly toying with my feelings, but it doesn't feel cheap or gimmicky.
It's easy to make me cry, just stir up the right conflict and play the right music and off I go. But this is genuinely a heart-wrenching story, and picks at every kind of bond between friends, family and society ... and self. It puts them all in conflict, and it makes me care deeply about everyone involved. -

Jessica Jones, wow. Just wow.
Never before have I wanted to scream at my screen "Noo!!! I'm really impressed with your strength of character, but don't throw this bad idea away! You could lie to yourself and pretend it's a good idea, I would!!! I made up three rationalizations right now, on the spot!".
For the last couple of episodes I've had this continual lump in my throat, and for a different reason every time.
Script writers, I hate you. You tear my heart to shreds. You're awesome. I've never seen anything like this. -

> It used to be that in order to survive, businesses had to sell goods or services above cost. But that model is so 20th century. The new way to make it in business is to spend big, grow fast and use Kilimanjaro-size piles of investor cash to subsidize your losses, with a plan to become profitable somewhere down the road.

@href What is "users" on fediverse.network? -

@donblanco
I thought pawoo alone was 1M, but apparently it's 300k+. Mastosoc is half of that, and the total is 1.2M+.
https://fediverse.network/mastodon
I don't know who calculates active users, but if > 5% of your accounts are active users, that's pretty good.
I don't know if the fediverse.network users are detected accounts total, or some measure of active users. -
