I think it means "call a friend or loved one and have a nice chat" and the poster is saying "what making phone calls about literally anything doesn't just cause anxiety?"

It kind of reminds me of a local ad about combating lonliness but it was obviously put out before the pandemic because it's all about getting out from behind the screen and hanging out with people who don't get much company. Bad timing. Now the screen is kind of the *best* way to interact with those sorts of people, you can get them your details and video chat on skype and discord and probably get a similar endorphin rush without spreading a virus.

For additional context I should also add that not long ago the Government of BC had a public briefing during a very aggressive wave of COVID spread in which the Provincial Health Officer told everyone that they need to do better and try harder when we're all already pretty strung out and doing the best we can.

Also they posted this in response to everyone telling them to shove their stupid bingo card lol

I mean...they're pretty much right. I guess they have some weird anti-sjw energy maaaybe but it doesn't change the fact that Disney is loving evil and just shoveling regurgitated reheated garbage into people's mouths, and that Disney Adults are loving weird.

The last thing we need is people embracing loving DISNEY of all evil corporations just because the wrong people (racists, misogynists, homophobes, that crowd of culture war dudes) hate on it for the wrong reasons sometimes.
No it's not even representation, it never loving is, none of them are ever openly LGBTQ protagonists and "fan canon" sadly doesnt change that. A lot of the time it just feels like people are embracing queer coding.

May not be the most on-topic question, but seeing as it was mentioned:


So I've never seen the show, neither myself nor my friends/family have Disney Plus. About the only thing I know about it is the premise for the first episode is something like "Wanda and Vision are living in some sort of 50's sitcom pastiche".

Is it the case that Wanda, after the trauma of seeing her husband die in Infinity War, has gone a bit crazy and her powers completely out of control and are unconsciously manifesting a life for them together in an idyllic stereotypical household?

If I'm right about this, how many people saw this as some sort of revelatory twist rather than (IMO) pretty much the obvious way to go given the show's initial premise?

Pretty much. There are a few other "mystery box" plot things rattling around and nobody's sure exactly what's going on, but yeah, that's the gist.

The best part is basically seeing the style evolve along sitcom aesthetics of each decade, I've been enjoying that aspect. It's the only marvel property I've ever seen though so I'm kinda missing some info I think.

I think this is puppermaster defense, i don't think they would have attached their real main twitters (that they now have locked) to this if they went in 100% intending to bait. Usually people who put this much effort into baiting/trolling are a molecule smarter than that. I think theyre dumbass countryhumans fans who made this in earnest and are backpedaling to pretend they meant for it to go badly all along

Her twin brother also died in her debut movie and that really never got addressed again and it seems like this show might have decided to use that as a plot point instead of it being a thing that everyone got over offscreen.

The main mystery of the series has been to what extent she’s doing it herself, and how much of it is the work of other forces. The most recent episode revealed a lot, but not everything, about this question. I’m actually a little apprehensive about how much they can adequately explain in the 2 remaining episodes.

See also: Bean Dad conveniently remembering new facts (actually, we were snacking on pistachios the whole time! Actually my wife was there! actually, my daughter didn’t cry or beg for food! Whoops!) when people pointed out he was being, at best an rear end in a top hat and at worst, abusive.
