Yes, it is a compliment to the movie. It’s mostly Climate Change for me, as I live in a coast area where we already suffered all sorts of things because of it. But it seems there is little can be done to stop those who chose to ignore the evidences.
Edit: And sorry for my English if I haven’t explant myself better. It is far from my first language.
This movie is painful to watch. I’m sort of glad for those who don’t have children.
I treat these people like those who think the Earth is flat. Ordinary foreigners may not be actively followed by someone nowadays. But things like heavy censorship, starvation in certain recent situations, travelling restrictions, they may never experience them in their own country their whole life. Nor did their parents experienced something far, far worse. Those who live to tell the story maybe lucky or unlucky. They never have to tell those things only privately.
It really puzzles me that many people in this thread that don’t know to what degrees an authoritarian country censors their dada, never lived in one, and can’t read their language, somehow think giving your personal information to that one is better. Being able to discuss such things is already a privilege. If your bag has to be searched twice a day just to be able to commute, I thought you will at least feel uncomfortable.
The Americans I’ve met in real-life were quite chill, and reasonable. But on the Internet I too have a feeling that they are expressing stressfulness more. It seems to me they can freely talk about the things they hate, and they do it, to the point many things on the Internet about the US are those. And it’s hard to touch grasses in Winter.
Looks like where your heart truly belong is Mao’s China or Stalin’s Russia. You’ve commented quite a lot of things.
I have to admit, you are right. If there is nothing been stuffed into their minds, most people really don’t know what to do with themselves, just like Montag’s wife from Fahrenheit 451. But there are differences between actively seek something you interested in than going blank and let the algorithms do the job for you. I thought people in Fediserse mostly against the idea of the latter. Otherwise, you will go to Tiktok or something.
Why, don’t you know there’s a thing called observation?
I’ve seen people scrolling on it their whole time on public transportations on materials worse than the worst of TV commercials, like they were in a trance. I know people who using it for at lease an hour every day before bed, and admitting they don’t know what they get from it, just boredom. From what I know, it’s like brainwashing for people who don’t know what to do with their lives.
I’m glad that in the US you got to keep your land no matter what. It’s a relief that real community still exists in other parts of the world.
If you gradually put in vegetable wasts, cardboard paper, and maybe some soil, keep them airy and moist, and turn them often, in the worst case they only have a little bit unpleasant smell in the beginning. One of my compost pot is mostly indoor, it has a smell, but it’s a pleasant smell.
I live in a small flat too. Usually, I put my compost in a big plastic bucket with holes underneath, then hang it outside the window. Bring it indoor when it’s freezing outside. I also use a relatively big pot, put it beside my other plants on a window shelf. But I only put in normal garden wastes and a small amount of fresh kitchen waste, as the spaces really weren’t enough, they already take at least a year to decompose. Not sure if it’s doable for you?
Edit: They don’t smell if they decompose right.
I stick iron wires into every pot to form an umbrella, then coil threads around them to form a dense net, to stop my cats from destroying my plants. :|
I prefer translators too. Reading materials from different languages (including English) gave me a different insight.
Back to Grim Dawn after its 1.2 update. I’m glad they integrated most of Grim Internals’ functions. I appreciate games like these that really listen to their players.
Still using a 6.5 years old iPhone 7. Can’t fine a downside, still runs perfectly well. The only thing that needed a replacement is its battery. I hope it holds for another 4.5 years (with battery replacements).
I’m trying to browse materials in the languages that I wish to learn, and use a translator when I don’t understand them. Feels like cheating…
