I believe it. Coming in blind having never having seen the original probably helped a lot.

Good idea. I haven’t used my local library in awhile, but I’m worried about library funding with Trump. It’s why this is the first time in a long time I looked into a book from the library. I’m using any excuse to like you said, argue their services are being actively used. It’s good to hear it confirmed that it does actually help librarians and that they’re encouraging that.

Going to give an old example and a new example.

I remember liking the Aeon Flux movie. Don’t remember too much about it, but I remember enjoying it, and favorably comparing it to Ultraviolet which came out around the same time. Recently I heard someone bring it up in a podcast as a terrible movie and it turns out it’s pretty universally panned lol.

A more recent example is The Watchers. I thought it was pretty good and kept my interest the whole time, but seems pretty middling from reviews. A lot of people especially didn’t like the ending, which I guess was kind of sudden, but still alright imo. Not noteworthy in being especially bad or anything.

I thought it did some cool stuff with making the Facehuggers scary again and the

Anyway, I really liked it as well.

I really liked that movie. Great example for me, too.

Because she’s party of the administration in power and people aren’t happy right now, so they blame whoever is in power even if it’s not quite their fault. They don’t care that the rate of inflation slowed to basically normal, they care that things are still expensive because their wages haven’t risen to match the raised inflation and their savings are lower. It used to be easier for incumbents, but as the conditions in the US continue to degrade from late stage capitalism and 60 years of neoliberal policies, I have a feeling it will continue to be the opposite.

Holding the line won’t work with people getting poorer every year (and if your wage doesn’t match inflation or the rising costs of housing or transportation, that’s what happening, you’re getting poorer).

I’ve been seeing suggestions for that book a lot. I was even going to see if I can grab it from my local library, but it’s just an e-book for some reason. I guess I can read it on my tablet but i prefer physical books. I do want to support my library though by using them, so it’s a tough choice lol.

Nooooo, can’t have that. Then you guys might pick the wrong candidate, you see?

It’s good but can get dark. Seeing this poem inspired it makes a lot of sense.

I think the police officer storyline just exists to show us the background and administration of the game. Because other than that, ya, it doesn’t do a lot.

Ya but it wasn’t for awhile, right? There was a long time he wasn’t in there and I think they only recasted recently, like for the latest season or something.

I was curious about it for awhile, too.

Oh nice. See, this is the kind of stuff I’ll have to look up lol

I need a practice laptop to learn Linux with…

In case people are wondering, this is the mentality that produced Nazis.

Yay! The megathread is here! And a wiki!

That took me too long to get lol

I read The Landlady in an English class once and it’s stuck with me ever since lol.

This is a really good one.

I’m down lol. Unfortunately friends still use it. I just found out about a friend’s birthday this weekend because I don’t use Facebook events. Why don’t people just text anymore? 😩

This is as big a problem as the Tik Tok thing. We have blatant evidence of a foreign country interfering with our biggest social media platform. It needs to be banned, too, or she needs to be fired.
