I get it just fine, tommy, but I'm probably on a different system than you since I'm in Oak Park.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

Any distinction made between "moral" and "ethical" here? Or are are they conflated? Also, if women are the moral compass, then are they held responsible for anything men do wrong? So how does this show avoid misogny? Or does it?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Well, misogyny or no, doesn't look like the show avoids sexism. Or misandry. If Gus's read is right, I mean.

I should go to sleep. Instead, I am wondering when people stopped using the word 'twain' (outside of figures of speech, such as "never the twain shall meet").

I'll do my bit to get twain back on the map. I do use it in that expression, but I'm tweer with it in that I say "ne'er" rather than "never."
Saw a dislocated shoulder today. OOOOMOTHERFUCKINGOOOOWWWW. Poor guy.
