“Ms. Capgras believes her husband has been replaced by a robot double. Mr. Capgras believes he has not been. Here’s how their love survived.”
npr.org NPR @npr.org · Nov 23
A California couple's relationship was upended when one partner found a whole new set of beliefs after an overnight video binge. Four years later, they're still navigating how to talk about politics.

Ah, ich sehe. Gundlach ist unser Plotdevice und Zeitzeuge wie alles ab 2025 den Bach runtergeht. Ging. Ihr wisst schon. Wir springen also jetzt wieder zurück, ins Jahr 2019 und JETZT treffen wir unseren Protagonisten.
Wenn ihr jetzt schon den Überblick verloren habt, mir geht es nicht anders.

Its amazing how people make up 4D chess explanations for the Jayvik ending when the show itself had Dr. Plotdevice tell the audience everything is about love.

I don’t know who needs to know this, but I worked in eye tracking and biometrics for a very long time and while irises are more unique than fingerprints, buttholes are more unique than both

OK, this is wild.

In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them.

It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*.

What the HELL?

Das ist ein Plotdevice bei Larry Niven, wenn sich jemand noch erinnert – die Puppetiere müssen ihre Planeten immer weiter weg von ihrer Sonne schieben
CO2 ist der Hauptgrund für die Erderwärmung. Allerdings: Langfristig erhitzen wir den Planeten durch jede Form von Energiezufuhr, auch wenn sie CO2-neutral ist. Nur PV und Wind sind langfristig wirklich nachhaltig.
Der übersehene zweite Grund für Erderwärmung
Kaum jemand spricht darüber: Kraftwerke erzeugen Wärme – unabhängig von CO2 und Treibhauseffekt.

Wird das falsch verstehen wenigstens als Plotdevice oder Gesprächsaufhänger benutzt, oder ist es einfach nur falsch übersetzt?

like. Do I want Toby to subvert the "dead plotdevice girl haunting the narrative" at the expense of killing a dad in a JRPG or do I want Toby to subvert the "dead JRPG parent trope" at the expense of having a dead plotdevice girl haunting the narrative.

Zu, okay… ich hab da zu so vielem eine andere Meinung. Welche übergeordnete Handlung? Bei DS9 gab es da den Wiederaufbau Bayors, Die Propheten und den Krieg. Bei Voyager ist es: wir wollen nach Hause. Was sich aber gefühlt nie auswirkt. Es ist ein Plotdevice für manche Folgen, die dann so 1/x

16 years ago, I reported on a video in which a forensic charlatan used the dental mold of a suspect to fabricate bite marks on the corpse of a young girl. It took way too long, but this week a Louisiana court finally overturned Jimmie Duncan’s conviction and death sentence.
Forensics Fraud?
Experts say this video shows a doctor manufacturing evidence. So why is a man still on death row?

Basically its a combination of an absolutely badass design, excellent voice performance (in both versions) and him actually being decently interesting when looking beneath the typical "FE generic evil plotdevice wizard" surface.

Recent history today, but with its roots back in the mists of time, because it’s the second anniversary of a batologist known only as Ralf encountering the absolutely real Pigman of Cannock Chase... 🧵

(Best let me tell the story, though. That’s a local paper website—a real eldritch horror)
Bat watcher 'stopped in his tracks' by 'monster with thick black fur'
Ralf claimed 'something huge' and 'definitely not human' came towards him as he walked around Castle Ring

(also if you advertise a book with a snazzy premise and then spend 0 time on it i hope you get a rock in your shoe daily. you can't write a demon conversion therapy book and then amnesia plotdevice yourself out of engaging with the realities of conversion therapy NOT THAT THIS IS A TARGETED EXAMPLE)
