What's your theory? (Related to the casting news)

So, we see in the casting news John Cho is back in season 2. Probably means his decapitation was not permanent. What do you think will be the shows explanation for the actors return?

Are there any Belter gestures for insult?

I remember the show had insults like Wellwalla and suck the big fellota but did they also have physical gestures for insult that were unique to Belters? I don't recall any.

Please help me brainstorm possible date activities

I'm having a lot of fun writing a fanfiction but now I'm stuck and need romance advice. My story is not actually a romance but the MC goes on a few dates with a woman, set up by his family. Nothing comes of it but their conversations are part of what makes the MC come to terms with his situation. I want to have them do something more elaborate than a meal, partly to help them break the ice, but I can't think of what.

The setting of the story is very specfic so that's partly why I'm having trouble thinking about something suitable. It's set in the future but the society is also really conservative. But if you all could just share whatever date activities you can think of perhaps it will help me find something that works. The MC family is very wealthy so feel free to include extravagant suggestions.

Writings about anarchism existing beside a state?

I'm interested in learning more about anarchism but the writing I've found is either about broad principles or about future social order. Any recommendations for writings about how different schools of thought view anarchism existing alongside a state?

For example, say a group of anarchists occupied a piece of unused land within a city and declared that outside the state. And the state decided to let it be. There would be a lot of practical issues in interacting with the people who aren't anarchists.

I recommend this podcast about the books

I've been listening to Spoil Me covering the books chapter by chapter. It's a lot of fun. Just a warning that the host hates Holden. She really likes the books overall though. She just finished Caliban's war.

Reddit didn't seem to like me adding a RSS feed link. So just search for Spoil Me.

ETA: She only reads up to the chapters that she covers each time. That's why its called Spoil Me, cause she doesn't know anything past that.

How accurate is your countrys portrayal in the comic Scandinavia and the World?

If you haven't seen it , it's a comic that makes cartoons with different countries as characters. satwcomic dot com (don't know if links are allowed). If you go to archive you can search for comics with specific countries in them.

It's only about 30 countries in it. If you're not in it you could also comment on if the depiction of other countries matches what the stereotypes are of them in your country.

Habits to make committing to activities more appealing

How do you deal with inertia for starting activities. In my free time I have a lot of trouble starting stuff that requires a time commmitment. Even something like starting to watch an episode of TV. Instead I spend most of my free time doing small task, scrolling on my phone or reading books on my e-reader.

I could force myself to get started even when I don't feel like it. But it feels sad to whip myself do something in my free time. Any tips on how I can increase my motivation to get started on stuff?

I've been using outlook e-mail as my personal e-mail for about 20 years. I don't like the idea that this account is the only place I can find all my old e-mails. I would like to have some kind of backup saved. It doesn't necesarily have to be in e-mail format. It could be all the e-mails printed into a text file for example.

I know there's an option to export e-mails when you have a paying account but is there some workaround to do it from an unpayed one?
