I live in Canada. I never cease to be flabbergasted by laws in the US. It’s like living next to a time warp.

I do the same. I use FeedBro (a Firefox add-in) on the pc and Feeder on Android.

Tangentially related but I rewatched Face/Off last night and realised he has a very short role, extremely foreshadowing.

Weirdly I love honeydew as a flavor (like bubble tea) but prefer cantaloupe as a fruit (cantaloupe flavored things just sounds wrong).

Lolll so great, glad you had fun :) Corba-Man was nightmare fuel for a while when I was a kid. DPK's face was already seared into my brain from The Warriors, I was so afraid of him!

Hope you like it! Now that I've talked about it I feel an itch for a double bill this weekend haha!

Wonderful thank you!!

The expressions of the humans really struck me as a kid, I could feel their terror (and anger) without really understanding the whole thing. Side-related but I've the 13thfloor tab opened for a few days and I haven't explored it yet. Guess I should do that now :)

I love Altered States. And for some reason I always associate it with Dreamscape and I like watching them together.

Fantastic Planet is one of my all time favorite movies and I think it ages dreadfully well.

It's so good. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea but I love how the story is told based on observations rather than exposition through dialogues. I don't always need to relate to characters and their lives, sometime I just want to know about the weird gravity or atmosphere and stuff. For the longest time people said it could not be made into a movie, but Denis Villeneuve stepped up to the plate and I cannot wait to see what he does with it.

I do the same! And you know, I think this is a hobby by itself. It’s also very useful when talking with strangers if they tell you they practice one of the hobbies you’ve binged on. You can ask them more pointed, interesting questions and it makes for great conversations!

My first thought reading the question “blood in the streets”. Coffee has been around for hundreds of years and is deeply cultural in many parts of the world. I don’t see any reality where that could happen.

Oh I see. I’m sorry, you guys in medical really have it fucking hard. Hang in there, and best of luck!

That sounds very satisfying, wow! I swear to god, half the meetings I attend are just soooo unproductive. Talk about this project, where we were, where we are, where we are going. But it always ends up that I have to jog people’s memory, ask why what was supposed to get done didn’t and when it will be. Rinse and repeat. I love that approach, makes people accountable and saves everyone’s time.

That’s a big one. Also lack of hobbies or passions.

That’s more like part-time honestly, doesn’t make any sense. But your hours are intense. I did that 50/60 hours a week years ago, I’ll never do that again. I’m at 35 now and considering asking for a 4 day 32 hours schedule next year. And I WFH full time. I’m done organizing my life around work.

A lot of great recommendations in the tread and I don’t have much to add but for something a little different, here are my suggestions :

DayDream Gaming - Cool and/or relaxing walks through game worlds like Skyrim, Cyberpunk 2077, horseback riding in RDR, etc.

dulevoz - Cabview train rides full of cool details like the number of tunnels, elevation, engine types, etc. You don’t need to be a train nerd, try it, it’s absolutely fantastic and relaxing!

Virtual Railfan - Live cams at famous railroad crossings, just for the fun of watching trains go by or watch the scenery

StreamTime Live - live cams at various harbours in the US

M. B. Archives - Commentary tracks from various movies (the latest being The French Connection, rip William Friedkin)

I could listen to Max Miller tell stories for hours, love his upbeat tone and sly sense of humour.
