Oh nice, thanks for the recommendations

That definitely makes sense. What’s a good SF book you’ve read recently?

I just had a friend tell me he loved the whole series (with caveats), why didn’t you like it?

My favorite internet video on the subject: https://youtu.be/WlP9aJnzyZw

Foresters. You have to have a degree(most are 2 years, but still), and you can make less than the fed poverty rate. The exception is a federal job, but those are very competitive.

That’s really interesting, sounds like it is made to identify a group.

It seems like it is 2 stock images put together by the person. So it could mean anything.

The chronicles of Narnia, the lion the witch and the wardrobe. I think it’s the beaver talking about how the witch isn’t human?

I do agree with you about the ick of it all, especially with it winning the tony like you mentioned. I think musicals have a weird relationship with reality, which can make creepy characters/situations hit different people in different ways. I think phantom/love never dies is a prime example of this.

And I get that this is a forum, but people get replies to their comments sent to their inbox, and it feels weird when I post something and then people disagree as if they aren’t in a discussion with me.

If someone said they enjoy something, why did you reply about how you think it’s bad? It’s a story that means a lot to them. I know this is the Internet where the other users don’t have feelings, but come on.

It would show the encrypted out bound traffic right? You wouldn’t be able to identify it by reading the bits, but you could by the volume and not doing anything else.

But isn’t broadband access one of the main requirements for using technology? I understand not wanting to interact with politics, but nothing in our life is truly separated from it.

I think they’ve said that Twitter and musk stories get a lot of traffic.

The translation was happening when describing peaceful Palestinian protestsers, that was the problem.

I hope it works out.

Great point. Many governments have media teams that produce propaganda and present it as news. This can be confusing, so social media sites label articles from these government entities as state-sponsored or whatever. It’s supposed to help Americans not trust propaganda that another country puts out, uncritically.

Is that a fun way of saying glasses?
