Another cis feminist for trans rights. She/her. Not quite a crone. Bad-faith arguments get you muted, slurs get you blocked. I repost a lot of geekery, some of it NSFW.

These problems can't reasonably be separated, and you're not answering the question.

the gestapo were infamous for often not accepting the papers of the people they victimized, in fact.

First of all, what does this have to do with the problem of employers not hiring junior programmers and letting them get experience?
Second... perhaps you've heard of the many problems they're already running into with "vibe coding"?

As well as sharing at least two actors, Twin Peaks and The X-Files had a similar vibe: spooky weirdness, quirky humour, and (for the most part) an overcast PNW setting. I'm sure there was a huge overlap in the fanbase.

In a scene that is, in retrospect, EXTREMELY reminiscent of The X-Files, there's a brilliant white light in the trees, and a brief glimpse of a hooded figure. Neither Cooper nor Briggs seems to know what's going on; they shout for one another, but when Cooper returns, Briggs has vanished.

"Nothing quite like urinating in the open air." Joys of being a cis man, I guess.
For everyone else: well, we've got to worry about cold butts, poorly positioned clothes, and finding something to wipe with. A female urinary device can help, but needs some practice to use.

Agent Cooper and Major Briggs are toasting marshmallows and talking about evil spirits. There's a brief POV shot from amongst the trees.
Briggs has just raised the subject of the White Lodge when Cooper feels the call of nature. Appropriate phrase for the setting.

Even falling through Truman's door in the wee hours, dirtied and distressed, Josie still looks gorgeous, so I can hardly blame him for immediately starting up with the smooching.

I couldn't help but notice that Ernie made a common American mistake, of not remembering when they've crossed the border: he speaks of himself as one of the best drug money guys "in this country".
One-Eyed Jack's is in Canada, dude.

Renault snaps his fingers a few times, as though summoning a servant, and it seems that
1. ACAB includes the RCMP
2. Mountie King has the missing cocaine
3. He's going to plant some in Cooper's car.

The Obvious Bordello Décor tells us we're back at One-Eyed Jack's. Hank and Ernie, in hunting camo, are horsing around.
As he tries to push Ernie into stealing from Vivian, Hank's play-fighting starts to look less and less playful.
They're interrupted by Jean Renault.

Norma's reaction is a lot more measured than mine would be, and I hope she sticks to her "I want you out of my life" boundary.

We find out who the mystery restaurant reviewer M.T. Wentz is: it's Norma's awful mother. Who gave her own daughter a bad review.
She wanted to give the Double R Diner a good review, she says, but it's "just not a good restaurant".
...You could have NOT WRITTEN ANYTHING, Vivian.

At the cheerleader tryouts, Nadine randomly flings a dude 30 feet into the fucking air.
I've noticed the occasional scene that's in slow motion for a few seconds. I'm guessing it's some way to hide a low-budget special effect?

Cooper exits, sans gun and badge, and Sheriff Truman enters. He makes the Bookhouse Boys finger-to-temple gesture, indicating "I'm on your side here".
Truman refuses to give a statement against Cooper unless required to do so by extradition papers and a subpoena. 🥰

Also, some cocaine they were using for the sting has vanished.
Now, I don't recall much of this subplot, but we saw Hank get captured by Renault, who found the DA's ID on him. I'm guessing he has something to do with this.

Cooper's being grilled about his two missions to One-Eyed Jack's.
Among other problems, the Mounties were setting up a sting against Jean Renault, and Cooper ruined that.

Audrey suggests Bobby can make it up to her by buying her an ice cream.
"Cup or cone?"
"Cone. I like to lick."
...Well, it's not like subtlety would work on Bobby anyway.
