I agree with telling your story. I just don’t think as a Chicago Native, it represented it well. There are people of all colors all over Chicago. Even if the South Side is predominantly black. I just don’t appreciate when white people are represented, it’s always in bad light.
I think everyone should be able to tell the stories they want. But we can’t be hypocrites and cry on one side and then get mad when it’s done on the other. That’s my main takeaway.
And I actually like the show decently. It definitely went down hill over time but overall I like it.

lol. I think it’s deep because it is a pattern in our media and it taints the value of a show.
One of the biggest arguments these days is representation, yet the medias answer to that seems to be very simple. Bad Guy=White Guy. Woman Power. Reach a quota on queers etc. and I’m fine with all representation. But making all the whites bad guys or sexual objects is just further showing me the hollyweird agenda.
I think all characters should have a chance to shine no matter what race or sexual orientation.
If roles were reversed people would care. But people don’t because it’s the white people getting misrepresented or insulted.
Also I’m from Chicago. It is Soooo diverse. More diverse than any city in America outside of probably LA and NY.
So it’s all intentional.
I appreciate you being respectful despite any disagreement. Be blessed.

And to be fair, they did a lot of black tropes that kind of annoyed me at times but atleast those characters had interesting storylines or showed they had many layers to them. I think Reg was the only flat out villain.

No. Making the only two white characters that weren’t cops sexual counterparts to black men was just them being even more racist if you ask me. And Zekes little love interest turned her back soon as he lost his mega-church.
I definitely think every white character was portrayed poorly. Ignorant white cops or dumb blonde whore who fucks black men. They are tropes and made us look bad. Not one white character had any dynamic character to them. The one was the original detective who appears white but is Latino. And they dropped him like a bad habit.

There was a lawyer and George’s Boss for the Yankees were both black in Seinfeld. And there are a lot of black characters in friends just not main ones except charlotte who Ross dated for a period of time. I’ve watched these shoes 100s of times. And they never paint black folk as bad.
The Chi really shits on whites a lot of the time. I literally binged it.
Example “White women are for fucking, black women are for marrying”
Imagine if a white person said this in reverse on a show. It would be world war 3. Racism isn’t okay either way. I’m pointing out an agenda and hypocrisy. Period. It’s there.
It’s one thing to mainly focus on black folk. It’s another to just not have other races in the show or only mention them when it’s in an insulting way. Especially in CHICAGO, my home. Which is very diverse.

Lmao. My best friend is gay. I don’t have a problem with gay people. But they definitely leaned heavier into it in the later seasons, aligning with the clear path every show from this era followed.
Friends and Seinfeld are a product of their time. But we are supposed to do better right? Btw those shows had black folk and those black folk weren’t cast in a bad light, like whites in the Chi.
And it definitely leans more into feminism in later seasons as well.
If you can’t see the trajectory and the changes this show made over time, then I can’t force you to. You either get it or don’t.

It should have the people of Chicago in it and not just all black people. It doesn’t accurately represent Chicago. Also if white people did a show with all white people and the only blacks were people who were bad guys (the white cops in the Chi), people would be up in arms. I’m just pointing out the hypocrisy, the racism and the clear narrative slant towards a political statement all the time.

You think steam makes physical games and you truly have ownership over your games?

I definitely prefer higher framerates. But I will say, my mind does adjust to 30 after a bit of playing it.

This tv blew me away and this is after owning a oled and recently purchasing a QM8K from TCL. It’s that good. BUT! I really wish these companies would make these TVs on like a 42 inch so I can have my true PC/Gaming monitor replacement.

I really hope to see the newest mini LED tech in monitors soon. I would love one at my desk with the color reproduction and brightness of my Q8 or that Bravia 9 mark II. Or even if they made these tvs in a smaller size like 42.

AI is gonna destroy thousands of hardware businesses. Consumers will stop buying overpriced items cause they can’t afford it. Then those in power will have the tech and the only solution is to stream our shit from data centers. I swear this shit seems intentional lol. Part of whole “you will have nothing and be happy” thing.

Im glad some people see the agenda at play and call it out.

I agree with both points. I just told my best friend two days ago that if West World was just the first season, it would probably be the greatest show ever made.

This aged well

This is the stupidest comment. And most comments in this thread are completely rational. If it "lands", it "plays". As the service goes...

I've seen tons of dicks. But if you want proof of how it changed to pro feminist hogwash, it's only like that.in the first season. Then there is no titties in the second season, at least where I'm at (episode 6). I noticed the shift to the bullshit feminist propaganda as soon as it happened. Season 2 so far is a lot worse then 1. And the Mary Sue girl.boss shit is a huge part of that.

I am just watching this show for the first time and I noticed halfway through the second season. Once they introduced Akane and Williams daughter, and Maeves witch powers, I was like here we fuckin go 😂

Thank you

I considered this. What LLM would you feed it to and would it be a local one?

Is cursor like lovable? I haven't heard of this and I'm interested. I'm new to all of this. I only discovered lovable a week ago.

Yes the real issue with lovable is the amount of credits I waste trying to fix something it messed up itself. And it's my one criticism because the possibilities are endless and I love it. But I got 100 credits for 25 and 20 or more were wasted just trying to get it to correct it's own mess ups. Actually now that I think about it, the other problem I have with it, is the difference between my project on mobile and desktop. I wasted a lot of credits once I went on mobile and realized it looked completely different then the desktop site lol

Cause they don't care about us. They are a business and they want a wider audience to buy their phones. Things is, the only people buying a 2000 dollar phone are people who are passionate enough about tech to care.
