I survived the Mok concert

so much of Steven Universe is about a child discovering firsthand that his guardians are complicated and flawed, and make huge mistakes and keep bombshell secrets, and having to deal with the fallout. sticking to Steven's perspective is vital to the impact of those events. we as the audience are meant to learn details as Steven learns them, to experience the drama and earth-shattering revelations through his eyes, because that's the point. it's not just about these things happening, it's about them happening specifically through the eyes of a child, and what that means for his relationships with the people involved. because children have limited perspective, and get lied to all the time. growing up often involves learning about major things in your life that were going on under your nose the whole time, that you didn't know about until someone decided to tell you. and it's frustrating! Steven's frustrated by his limited perspective too! it's not a meaningless oversight that the show is structured that way, it's part of the point. it's thematically relevant

But as a result of this they are advertising a lot more in my area and also in many cases, the people in these areas have never been confronted with Aldi or any European grocery store. So the ads that Aldi is pushing out to its new US customer base feature a cowboy shopping at Aldi who is explaining to new Aldi customers how Aldi works. Like this cowboy is explaining you gotta put a quarter in the shopping cart and why there are very little name brands. A cowboy is how they want to reach their American customer base. They gave us a cowboy

Here he is, the Aldi Cowboy

The whole mystery isn't about who could have done it or how, but who was the one who got lucky and actually succeeded.

After we solved it, we discovered that the game wasn't from a kit -- the host had written it herself and meticulously printed out the booklets in replica style of the kits. It was the best going-away party I think I could possibly have had.
