If you're someone who already believes that New York City is a violent hell hole and ICE is cleaning it up, then videos like this that get mindlessly scrolled past can reinforce that belief and are unlikely to be critically analyzed.
😂 Honestly I start to feel bad for someone like this. The entire point of these LLMs is basically allowing someone to live inside of a pretend reality where they can't be hurt... and this guy can't even manage that.

Even if we don't see any of the cast, it would be SO badass to see Disco pop in and save the day during a space battle for a moment then just pop back out.
Oh I see what you mean, yes absolutely with you. That said, if she truly has a "trauma causing thing she can't control" ...he's going to need to establish some clear boundaries...

To me it gave "this is the best we can afford right now" vibes. They clearly can afford better, but that was my impression of the message they were trying to send.
Amazing
