> it would trend a lot closer to a Christian understanding of the afterlife

Well, I don't want to go into religious debate, but I will say that there's a difference between how Christianity is practiced in the modern day, and the literal tenets of the religion ("easier for a rich man to ... ", Good Samaritan parable, etc.).

Of those two, I don't see the literal tenets as being incompatible with the show.

There's a great book called The Second Greatest Story Ever Told in which God's daughter comes down and does Letterman, etc., and my favorite bit in the story is how all the commandments are boiled down to one that's easier to remember: "Be kind."

I haven't read What We Owe to Each Other, but from what I'm familiar with it's an attempt by Scanlon to explain and justify his particular brand of moral contractualism, and not an introductory book on ethics and moral philosophy. I believe Chidi is a contractualist and deontologist so it makes sense why he would like that book (as a philosophy professor), but that's just one area of moral philosophy.

One of the problems with philosophy is that the works are intended for students and educated audiences and not laymen, so most of the books for example that I read when I first started college (and books that you'll find listed in "good for beginners" lists) like Nicomachean Ethics and Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals I would never, ever recommend to a general audience. They're full of confusing philosophy terminology and long, multi-stage logical arguments.

Instead I highly recommend what I suspect you're really looking for in Justice: What's the Right Thing to Do? by Michael Sandel. While clearly aimed at an American audience, it's a very good and more importantly very readable general introduction to ethics and the varying schools of thought in the field. It's a really short read for a philosophy text and is peppered with real-life examples and dilemmas.

Another book that I actually read recently and quite enjoyed is A Concise Introduction to Ethics by Russ Shafer-Landau. Unfortunately, this one is intended for a student audience and is more of a textbook (complete with end of chapter quizzes), but it goes really broad and over not just all the big schools of ethics but also the fundamentals of moral reasoning, and metaethics and natural law (two things that don't always show up in ethics books which are usually about normative ethics).

I wound up ordering from Amazon. These are the products I ordered:

Vest:

Skirt:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CLPHTS7/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I found a fairly nice blouse at Goodwill that I think works, so I don't have to do any sewing with the exact fabric. Good luck!

Also, I got this wig at Michael's for $4!!!

This made me imagine a Good Place version of the [Star Wars Visual Dictionary] (https://www.amazon.com/Visual-Dictionary-Star-Wars-Episodes/dp/0789434814) I loved as a kid. Probably not exactly what you had in mind, but a fun mental image for me.

I did a Janet costume for Halloween this year, and I wore this vest with this skirt. They matched pretty well. The skirt needed to be hemmed a bit.

There is a pre-order on amazon uk. The date says Jan 27 2020.

This maybe a placeholder date but im sure S3 will come to blu-ray at some point.

I bought the black and white trucker hats from amazon and then took it it to screen printing personalized shop. They had a stock graffiti looking font that looked like Jason’s hat.

Sure! The only issue I had is that the part is sewn in, so I couldn't get the hair exactly right. I settled for pinning the front to the side.

You mean:

>There's a book with the same title as Chidi's lecture, What We Owe To Each Other. I've always been of the mindset that we are here for each other. When a friend lost his house and cats to fire, something truly devastating to him, he had a breakdown about how he could possibly move forward. If everything can be taken from you in a moment, what's the forking point?

>The point is to be there for each other. The point is that we're not really here for any reason. We just are. And that's okay. Make the most of it. Make someone smile. Do any small thing. It could mean nothing to anyone. And it could mean everything to just one.

When a friend lost his house and cats to fire, something truly devastating to him, he had a breakdown about how he could possibly move forward. If everything can be taken from you in a moment, what's the fucking point?

The point is to be there for each other. The point is that we're not really here for any reason. We just are. And that's okay. Make the most of it. Make someone smile. Do any small thing. It could mean nothing to anyone. And it could mean everything to just one.

Give a little love.

Mindy originally asked for regular straws, but the bad place gave her silly straws that can never be completely clean and always have a little bit of leftover crap in the bends and are just a bit too narrow to get a satisfying sip. Plus, they don't work with milkshakes.

I try to, even if I don't super care about the material. Sometimes you think a book will be shit until you start it. I usually follow this rule except for the one time my uncle gave me a Bill OReilly for kids book when I was fucking 16, that one is still gathering dust at the bottom of a box some where.

The way his eyes are Photoshoped extra blue one the cover has always creeped me out.
