I think that’s super valid for a novel especially, as long as you don’t mind that the movie adaptation decides it’s not worth taking 10 minutes out of the runtime to explain vs something people will immediately understand

Or maybe there is nothing else interesting in the novel, and it won’t matter anyway because no one reads or adapts it

I don’t recall any hype around it at all except that it was a thing that companies made. Most of them require glasses so I really don’t understand how they thought that would ever catch on.

They are surprised VR isn’t really taking off with inflation through the roof huh?

Tropes exist because they work and who cares what the money is called

Huh, progesterone doesn’t have that effect on me, estrogen does

Thank you, yes it does.

Kind of maddening that a government would try to demand that of another. US businesses do not need to be babies to this extent.

It does a little bit there’s not much elaboration on what specific demands were made re: french language and Quebecoise culture

Wait did he actually say that??? I’m surprised Trump even knows French is an official language in Canada

I see something like this and I’m like “oh are you trans?” And then I’m like “oh or a cis woman?” And then I’m like “oh or an immigrant or any shade of brown?” “Oh or a working class man?” And I just end up thinking of every identity combination because there are maybe 5 people on earth that this admin hasn’t been extremely hostile to, and even for them it’s only a matter of time before they start turning on each other and eating each other too

This is a really good sign of a healthy society

Honeymoon phase OVER!! Stable, long term relationship phase built on mutual respect has STARTED.

Thank you. That definitely lines up with my experience moderating subreddits and communities.

What’s the 90-9-1 rule?

Oh no, I’m getting old

Does anyone remember when Biden stepped down and Republicans were real mad that the democrats were “hiding” his decline?

I never would have heard about this if not for the fediverse

Yeah, people don’t actually care what happen to women and children

Rest in piss!

yeah

I think it’s weird that eating pizza is somehow a sign of someone who lacks the correct values or something
