People who didn't like the first season's pacing probably have had their attention spans whittled down to nothing. I loved the first season. Iwanaga is such a great protagonist and I loved the themes explored in her battles against the main antagonist and in her attempts to solve the other cases.

In/Spectre Season 2's OP, Yotogibanashi, doesn't get nearly enough attention, much like the show itself.

I'm in and out and I always say thank you when I'm done, since I personally like it when customers get out of my store as soon as possible.

"Sir, we must burn down the world's forests and destroy everyone's economic assets."

"Are you sure that this is the way to go about solving inflation?"

"Inflation?"

If I'm being real, my only knowledge of trans fats comes from that one American Dad episode where Stan tries to smuggle them across state lines to make his food taste good again after they're banned. Would you mind educating me on what the commotion was about them?

I'm not at the point in life where I can really avoid plastic, but I aspire to get there eventually.

I like excessive sweetness in all of my beverages since I've been drinking excessively sweet beverages all my life. I got the taste buds of a toddler. Still, give me aspartame over sugar, even on the off chance that the meager amount I consume gives me cancer some day that's probably better than what too much sugar would do to me.

Microplastics are the new lead, and screens are the new tobacco, in my opinion. Overuse of sugar in processed foods is the new version of how they'd cut food with inedible stuff like sawdust back in the day.

The only time when willful ignorance is bad, in my book, is

A: They're being willfully ignorant about an essential skill that they need in order to make everyone's day go smoother

B: They're willfully ignorant about something but somehow still give as much of a shit about it as experts on the topic. These people are the worst.

While this dude didn't earn his money I am jealous that I didn't think of this first.

Abusing service / customer-facing staff fits in to this as well and is at once particularly revealing and particularly damning.

Whenever a customer is rude to me I just remember that they're probably compensating for how terrible their own lives are. If it was actually an issue on my part then one of my coworkers would've told me by now. Makes it way easier to move on with my day.

It depends on what the subject is. Learning things requires energy, which we don't have an unlimited supply of. If you ask me a question about, say, Hotwheels toys, I'm gonna tell you I don't know the answer, and I do not care nearly enough about Hotwheels to put time and effort into researching anything other than surface-level facts about them. This type of ignorance is fine by me, I'd rather deal with a person who knows they don't know anything about a subject and doesn't care about it than someone who knows little yet cares deeply about it.
