I haven’t watched Andor yet but from what I’ve seen it seems to be a bit of an antifascist playbook? How on-the-nose we talkin’ here?

I know it’s hella cheesy and there’s a masculinity joke about the fantasy of wanting to live out the cliche that is sacrificing yourself to buy time for others to run off and live, but honestly with fascism at everyone’s doorstep and me without ever having had a retirement plan or sense of purpose, I can’t think of a better opportunity to line myself up to live out that fantasy.

…mind you I am not actively seeking to speed up that process right now/I’d like to live as long as I could, but I’ve just kind of been bracing for mental impact that that’s probably going to be the equivalent of my retirement plan.

The only silver lining I can think of to being forbidden to retire is the fact that a forced schedule and activity of something to do will at least keep my mind engaged and force me out of bed.

Left to my own devices, if I had nothing but time and money, I would be bored out of my gourd and depressed.

And no I wouldn’t travel; I am a hermit. If it wasn’t for my spouse I wouldn’t go anywhere.

I heard from a former CA member the official Isolation VR port was personally scrapped by Ridley Scott because he didn’t want players taken from his personal VR project/game, The Martian. 🙄

Reminds me of that Dark Waters movie; they didn’t report chemicals because the phrasing was “report known chemical pollutants,” they didn’t know what chemicals they were polluting (it was a new compound nobody had seen before), so they didn’t report it.

Fucking die you old turtle-face. Jesus Christ that fucking face gets more and more disgusting with each passing day.

…sorry, I know that’s not constructive, I just wanted some catharsis from venting.

Or Emma Stone in Aloha, or Max Minghella in The Social Network, or Tilda Swinton in Doctor Strange.

I feel like once the concept of landfills became the norm we should’ve maybe looked at how to stop that.
