It's actually converted from an old prison, so has a long history of negating personal rights.

The meat and dairy industry use vastly more water and also contribute to climate change through greenhouse gas emissions, while almond trees help to reduce CO2. Maybe focus on that instead of buying into the animal ag propaganda.

That's basically what the book is about

Little Simz, Sampa the Great, and Snow Tha Product are some of my modern favorites

I heard this was coming out and just read the book Mickey 7 that it's based on.

For anyone interested, I highly recommend reading it before watching the movie. It's a fun, quick read. The movie doesn't follow the same events so nothing is "spoiled" for you by reading, just a good way to get into the universe and character.

Have you considered adoption? There are SO many kids out there who need loving homes. If you're worries about children regretting their existence, at least you could provide a safe place for those that are already here and also fulfill your desire to be a parent.

I just watched Didi and it seems to do a great job with the millennial coming of age story. They're a bit younger than me, but I related a lot to the characters and setting.

Dunno if it's THE definitive movie, just thought I'd recommend because it's recently on my mind.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Peanut Dust!

People Just Do Nothing is one of my favorite shows.

Years ago, when I lived in Boston, a realtor company mistakenly sent me a letter meant for my landlord. It said something like, "rentals are lucrative and prices keep rising! You should maximize your yearly lease price increases to make more money."

The brokers get a full months rent fee in Boston just for showing the apartment, so this was really infuriating.

The Murderbot series is pretty easy to get into and has some decent space adventure.

Also, I enjoyed the Silo series, which is now a good show on Apple.
