  • Just finished listening to the audiobook of The Martain and got me to thinking.

  • I feel like if the Project Hail Mary crisis happened today, the response would be more like what happened in Don't Look Up.

  • Having the ability to lie and manipulate with no remorse will get you much further in this world than having morals and being correct

  • Mostly because people aspire to be billionaires. Society would be much better off if people aspired to be hurricanes.

  • What book(s) are you reading right now and recommend for others?

  • No Flinching by Stephen King. It's a good book, but you really have to go back and start with the Mr. Mercedes series.

    Has anyone checked on the NRA recently? They seem to have been pretty quiet since the tyrannical government that they've been warning us about for decades came to pass. I wonder if they're ok?

  • They're "fighting non-stop"... except they're fighting for tyranny.

  • What is a movie that "looks like" it would suck, but actually is well written and acted and a good time?

  • We were having a movie night in our neighborhood a few years back where we got a bedsheet and a cheap projector. We hooked it up to a laptop to project a movie on someone's garage for the neighborhood kids.

    We ended up projecting The Lego Movie and most of the kids lost interest about half an hour in - and were falling asleep and ready to go home.

    I'll be damned if it wasn't one of the best animated movies I've ever seen. I sent my wife home with our youngest just so I could stay and finish the movie.

  • Lol now that you mention it, I didn't see the first Puss in Boots, but took my kids to see the 2nd in the theater. I distinctly remember thinking "God damn, this movie is fucking good for a sequel to a spinoff to a movie that had two mediocre sequels."

  • Yeah feel like there is some context needed. Is OP pissing and shitting in that sink?

  • Slack?

    Jump

  • Yeah I've effectively given up on email at this point. Just Teams me. And don't say "hey". Say what the fuck you want.

  • In Colorado, one of my wife's friends is what most people (I say this, knowing the Lemmy political scale is vastly different from most Americans) would consider super liberal. She's also very outspoken and politically active, so she has no problems telling everyone she knows how to vote on every issue.

    Last election, we were at her house and she mentioned that she was against ranked choice voting. When I asked her why, she pointed to her voting guide provided by the Colorado Democratic Party. She just blindly accepts that because the party says it's bad, then it's bad.

    After seeing that, it wasn't surprising to me when the proposition failed.
