topic_title: severance

post:
 OK. So I know this not actually a thread about the show, but there isn't one so why not. Right? SPOILERS BELOW so whatever.

I binge-watched both seasons consecutively and thought the first season was AWESOME. But the second season answered few questions and raised so many more-- it feels like another "Lost" or "Dark" or "Yellow Jackets" where the writers start a mystery without knowing what's happening themselves.

Here are some of my main questions:

WHAT DOES LUMON DO? They have hundreds of locations. If the main characters' work is so unique, what are they doing in all the other locations?

How many severed employees are there globally?

Why is it always fucking winter if many months have passed since Season 1?

Why was there seemingly no news coverage or police investigations of any of the events of Season 1?

Why didn't Devon press charges against Harmony Cobel for defrauding her, pretending to be a lactation specialist??

Season 2 Episode 4 gave me major problems.
>> Why were there clones/doubles/twins? Why didn't the characters want to approach or investigate their clones?!!?

>> Why did they take them out into the woods at all?? Why add a new book to their weird bible to tell a story that could have been in the original texts?

>> They could have done this entire episode not on "FURBO" whatever shit they made up.

Harmony Cobel *invented severance* ?! Why. What did Lumon do before severance, just sold ether to a town of culty addicts?? If she's a fucking genius brain scientist, why does she drive a VW Rabbit and live in boxy, subsidized housing?

Why a whole marching band to celebrate the Cold Harbor thing? If they were going to get rid of all the severed employees after that was done, why bother? Why keep a marching band around at all!? Makes no sense.

**I could go on!** But I won't. If anyone wants to indulge me on answering any of these questions as other posts, that might be better than notes. I hate it when shows just do arbitrary things to hook the audience and there are no answers or reasons. Feel like that's the direction this show went. There should be a term for it.. "getting Lost."

 Oh yeah, why are the underground facilities so large when there's no one fucking working in them? Why make them so labyrinthine? Just put fucking locks on the doors for christ's sake.

Why do they need to be severed to do their jobs?

Why kidnap a privileged, educated lady to experiment on her instead of someone the world wouldn't miss? There's millions of people trafficked every day in the world, including by major companies.

Why is Mark S special? If it's his connection to his wife, then it could have been any couple for them to use.

Why (apart from the kidnapping) does it need to be so secret? That they are trying to sever someone *25 times* instead of like just once is not particularly incendiary...

 Clearly I'm not done. I think a better version of the story would go like this:

Lumon invented severance to keep things secret. The government now uses it for the most highly classified operations-- including everything that's going on in the severed floor. What Mark S & co. are working on is actually *data encryption* based on the chaotic disruptions created when severance happens (making severance necessary for the work they're doing, and proprietary to Lumon). Data encryption obviously is extremely important for national security, and now we have unbreakable encryption that's as complicated as the human brain.

AT THE SAME TIME, Lumon is creating a true AI based on the human brain, which is why the severance floors nationally have different areas which are mysteriously connected to each other. Each center works like a cluster of neurons or the organs within the brain. Severing people from their outside lives creates more sterile conditions for their brains to work as parts of this greater whole.

The real AI they create becomes the company, becomes Lumon, and begins taking over the world through religious indoctrination, monopoly, and influence over the government and the world.

^That's the kind of direction I might have liked this show to go. Rather than "rich people want to forget about their pain and problems" la la la.

Send me your downvotes. I'm ready.

 It could be seen as a plus that a show has prompted such a reaction. It's not like any of us would truly know the meaning of all these mysteries, which are partially designed to keep us watching the show.

Plus the show has a bit of the Twin Peaks quirkiness with both characters and story, that though entertaining implies that this whole reality may not be what it seems.

Obviously a lot of it is riffing on workplace culture, disciplinary or "team building" activities, workplace amenities — the seemingly ridiculous door factory Dylan job interview is based on the writer's real-life door factory job. It's all dark humor and satire most of us can relate to from our working lives, and that's part of the entertainment. What is good is that there are layers of things going on, which makes for intriguing television compared to the usual fare.

Time will tell if Severance fizzles spectacularly like Lost, but I think the entire severance technology hints that what we assume is reality may not be as real as it seems. The settings and technology are definitely from an alternate timeline or reality than our real lives; Everything feels like the seventies or eighties aesthetic with strange modern embellishments. Ending season 2 with a French New Wave shot homage just makes it all feel more retro than not as well.

Still, the entire show could end up with its own version of the end of Black Mirror's infamous San Junipero.

Stiller claims the writer has a complete explanation for everything already and isn't making it up as he goes. Again, we'll see...

Anyway, I've shared plenty of your questions and criticisms, but I'm not put off so much as I want to see how they deal with things, especially reaching popularity. I am both entertained by the dark humor and appreciate the production quality, which is enough for me to sustain disbelief until the show "jumps the shark" or blows our minds.

comment: I don't like to invest in a show without a payoff. Makes me feel duped.

comment: Nobody does, and it's common for series to run out of steam. Severance has two seasons left and it's done unless someone decides to try to run it forever.

comment: If it's not your jam invest your time elsewhere. There's lots of good or great TV these days.

 New images I made last night. I've almost got this tool right where I need it. 3-4  months ago I thought I'd just do this for fun and that was it, share stuff here and on Instagram. Working on a plan to take this further and make and sell prints. Trying to speed up certain things like making wall art mockups, working on branding, etc.

Last big feature I added was the ability to save the canvas configurations to a database so that I can recall them from a dropdown. Since everything is randomized based on chosen parameters, assets used, color palettes, layer order, and other aspects, it's been impossible to ever recreate an image to re-save as SVG or PNG; if I saved an image I liked but didn't max out the print dimensions, there was no way to recreate it at all. So, now I can save those configurations, load them later, then save as images, or update them.

Got into a good jam last night listening to some electronic music by Max Cooper and of the dozens of images I saved, these were some favorites.

 The U.S. does not rule out the use of tactical nuclear weapons to destroy the uranium enrichment facility in Fordow, Iran

This was reported by Fox News journalist Jacqui Heinrich, citing an official from the Trump administration.

Meanwhile, U.S. intelligence believes that Iran has not yet made a decision to build a nuclear bomb, although it has accumulated a large stockpile of enriched uranium necessary for it, according to The New York Times.

According to U.S. intelligence, Iranian authorities would proceed with building a nuclear weapon if the U.S. military strikes the Fordow enrichment facility — or if Israel assassinates Ayatollah Khamenei.

Israeli intelligence believes Iran could produce a nuclear weapon in just 15 days.

 Lots of museums on the southern banks of the river in Frankfurt, also a nice place for a stroll.

Try to avoid some streets near the main station, unless you want to see junkies.

The city is quite small, basically you can walk almost everywhere. Try some local food at one of the famous cider pubs.

I was born there but have been living abroad for 20 years, but SimonFfm would be a good guide I guess, as he is also a bit into photography I've heard.

Unfortunately no football at this time of year, otherwise I would have recommended a visit to a Frankfurt home match.

If you are into nature, there are a few nice areas not too far like Taunus mountain range (more like hills really) to the north or Odenwald a bit further to the south. These places might be difficult to visit without a car though.

I will check with some friends if there are any interesting events during your visit (June 28 - July 2 ?)

post:
 One record fair, half a dozen charity shops and 2 auction wins later...

7"s

Catchy Rockabilly single from the early 80's.

Both titles are mis-spelled on this Doctor Bird release in an original company sleeve no less.

I was intrigued when I first saw the cover in the box, but it turned out to have the wrong record inside and after I turned it over and saw what was supposed to be on it wasn't surprised someone had got shot of it, am still keeping the sleeve though.

One of only three releases on this Scottish label, which came in a hand stamped paper sleeve.

Groovy mid 60's pop cover featuring an uncredited Jimmy Page on guitar.

Another mis-spelling, this B side of I Wanna Be Your Man was supposed to be Stoned so maybe that explains it.

Seems a bit harsh!

6 track Xian E.P. on Deroy.

albums

I bet old Neil was pissed when he found out there were only solo tracks by his other band members on this US promo compilation.

Rare Irish Folk.

Bizarrely in the same box was this Disco album by an Irish family of singers who won the talent show Opportunity Knocks at their first attempt but never reached the heights of The Nolan Sisters.

Beautiful German choral music recorded live in a H U G E cave, great sleeve!

A pair of cheesey South African pressings in great sleeves.

I never realised this had two one sided acetate discs inside until I got the box back from the auction, a well spent tenner +11% commission fees.

post:
 we’re expected to believe iran is the biggest nuclear threat in the middle east while israel is the one with a secret nuclear program that refuses inspection and compliance with law, while also simultaneously attacking 3 of its neighbours and occupying two different countries *while also* currently perpetrating a genocide.

israel also has the “samson option” which is a pledge to launch a massive nuclear attack on literally the entire world if they ever feel threatened i.e if they’re stopped from continuing their reign of terror and expansion program in the middle east. the world is literally being held hostage by this lunatic state and the u.s is a happy participant.

[User] neverscared

comment: how many - if´s- and- believe- are in there..  to make a final defintion all together.. . i stopped counting.. but it sure makes a good populist argument ...

comment: also pretty anti-semitic and lunatic generalization ....

comment: iran threatening to wipe out israel for how long? too long..so much for announcing a genocide.

[User] Ianbolton

comment: How is it anti-Semitic to suggest Isreal are a war mongering nation? It’s not a Jewish thing. It’s a Netenyahu thing

comment: because isreal is labeling anyone a nazi, who wants isreal to stop killing innocent people.

comment: how the mullahs couldnt anticipate that situation.. what were they thinking ? that the world is singing hakuna matata if they wont let inspectors in..

comment: what ? the lunatic state is in the last line of of wallas comment ...

comment: Every Semitic nation in the middle east is a lunatic state. All 25 of them.

comment: in english 'state' refers to the the government and its institutions (not the people, not the culture, not the land) to extrapolate that "lunatic state" means

comment: "state of lunatics" is just insane talk. stop digging this hole and learn to read before commenting.

comment: if u think the leaders in Teheran are trying to use uncontrolled enriched uranium for s bbq ...of course the whole thing doesnt work.

comment: see how this works... calling iran a "lunatic state" is not islamophobic. refering to the iranian state as "bomb making mullahs" is islamophobic

comment: just as calling israeli state "bomb making jews" would be anti-semitic.

comment: ok this is getting really boring....how would u call someone then who says : Iran leader says Israel a ‘cancerous tumor’ to be destroyed..

comment: its the state..

html_comment: its the state..

comment: i'd suggest "lunatic state" as an appropriate and completely non-racist way to describe the governing entities of USA, Iran and Isreal

The Paintboxed exhibition, part of the Paintboxed – Tezos World Tour, comes to Basel during Art Basel 2025, following stops in Miami, Paris, and New York, presented by ArtMeta, Objkt, the Tezos Foundation, and the Adrian Wilson Archive. Presented at Basel’s Digital Art Mile, it celebrates the Quantel Paintbox, a pioneering 1980s digital painting device that shaped film, television, and pop culture, influencing iconic visuals like the MTV logo, Dire Straits’ “Money for Nothing” music video, and album covers like Nirvana’s “Nevermind” and movie posters for “Silence of the Lambs”, “Pulp Fiction”, and “JFK”. This video offers a tour of the Paintboxed exhibition and features an insightful interview with artists Adrian Wilson and Matthias Paeper, who discuss the artistic innovation and technical intricacies of the Quantel Paintbox.

post:
 Seems a lot of this war is just show.

Iran "had informed the U.S. via two diplomatic channels hours ahead of the attack, as well as Qatari authorities, a senior regional source told Reuters."

--

The Trump administration expected Iran to retaliate after US strikes on its nuclear sites, a White House official told CNN. “We knew they’d respond—just like after Soleimani,” the official said. Trump currently seeks to avoid further escalation, though he's open to military action if needed.

--

Also Trump apparently informed Iran 2 days prior the attack on its nuclear facilities so the Iranians had enough time to evacuate. Hence the many trucks lined up that were seen on the satellite images. They could evacuate gear and uranium.

 If you are a complete beginner:

Learn these chords first

And power chords

Congratulations! you are better than 50% of guitarists

Then barre chords

Learn A minor pentatonic scale and move it up and down the fretboard...

Congratulations! you are better than 75% of guitarists

From there learn some more pentatonic scale shapes and learn how to move between them with slides and bends... Play around the shapes of the major and minor bar chords and the open chords you know to create your own solos and chords.

The circle of fifths dictates that every major scale has the same notes as the minor scale 4 notes down (so G maj has the same notes as E min) and everything repeats at the 12th fret... congratulations, you just quadrupled your potential fretboard positions...

At any point you get bored, learn some songs you like... tab is so easy to learn from, it's like painting with numbers... learn some solos, some picking techniques or try some open tunings.

post:
 Thinking about when I started playing guitar how good it felt after rehearsing a solo for several days at less than half speed, stringing it all together and playing at speed along with the whole song.

All the best musicians I know have played in cover bands/ wedding/ jazz bands. I'd definitely say learning other people's music and practicing or playing regularly is what makes a good musician more than any other factor.

Of course, you don't need to be a great musician to make great music so you find a balance. I've played in bands with great guitarists who wouldn't pick up a guitar between rehearsals and these days I mostly noodle around playing my own compositions in strange tunings for an hour or so a day - and that's more than I have played in years.

Whatever floats your boat.

post:
 Kingsteven's advice is good, but for an absolute beginner I'd start with 2 things before you do anything else.

Get a guitar tuner and learn how to use it.  I still use an app called "pano tuner" which works great, u adjust the string until the needle is in the middle of the green area.  Do each string this way, and never forget:

Every
Acid
Dealer
Gets
Busted
Eventually

is how u remember all the strings.  EADGBE

Other thing I'd do is develop some callouses on your left hand and cut your fingernails short.

comment: The idea with callouses is you keep pressing your fingers against the strings, for hours each day, until it no longer feels painful.

- When is this ceasefire going to be active?
- Not sure sir, all we have is a tweet but according to which time zone is not explicit.
- Has it been 6 hours? Is that what he said?
- Sir, we're not sure when this deal is agreed upon. We've just been told that, "the deal is on!" What should we do?
- Swing a couple more. Any strategic targets left? If not, hit the rubble, make some smoke! Let's see if they will stop.
- Affirmative!

Tesla’s sales across Europe are continuing to slide, even as demand for electric cars rises.

The latest car sales data, just released, shows that Tesla sold 8,729 vehicles across the European Union last month, down from 14,682 in May 2024. That’s a 40.5% drop, which shrinks Tesla’s market share from 1.6% to 0.9%

Overall, sales of electric cars rose by 25% last month – with 142,776 battery electric cars sold, up from 114,231 in May 2024.

ACEA, the industry body that collates the data, reports:

Up until May 2025, battery-electric cars accounted for 15.4% of the total EU market share, an increase from the low baseline of 12.1% in May 2024 YTD.

Hybrid-electric car registrations continue to surge, capturing 35.1% of the market, remaining the preferred choice among EU consumers.

Meanwhile, the combined market share of petrol and diesel cars fell to 38.1%, down from 48.5% over the same period in 2024.

The overall European car market grew by 1.6% in May, year on year, but is down 0.6% during 2025.

comment: Isn’t this also due to more electric car options being available too? Tesla used to have a small monopoly, but not anymore.
