It would greatly help out with the white suits if you know what I mean...

Wait, so does conception start at the mission briefing? Or the general's speech? Asking to inform my local politician.

Is it just 1 pill for one-time use? I need this information to know if I can reuse some of these pill options.

I watched my dad fall into depression after retirement. The same for a family friend who was able to retire early in their 40's. I think a lot of people only plan for the financial side of retirement and don't plan for post-retirement hobbies and activities. It took these 2 people's examples to open my eyes a bit and start planning for a heavy hobbying which will also look different from light hobbying where you are still committed to other things like work and raising a family.

If you throw in 5. Scary Movie Marathon, this is literally my Halloween plans. I'm very excited to be hosting myself. And my cats.

So it sounds like this is a profit-driven decision with auteur dramas in general just not being as profitable as action films or films that have some element of action.

Kind of a radical idea, but I always wondered if the movie industry would do better with different pricing models. When people go to the movies nowadays it seems like its just a better deal over all to see something big budget (even though it may not be an especially good storyline). So maybe just so we can get more variety out of it, they price accordingly and see how the market reacts?

I'm upvoting all of the comments in here so each and every one if you gets that little validation hit. It'll be like pouring sugar over an ants nest.

Someone upvote me back so I can get my validation hit too.

I DID notice that lol. Sounds like a pretty good, subtle titling style that people can associate to an author.

So you're saying you'd need an advanced degree in memeology.

The curse is that once these great authors get discovered they inevitably get movie deals and the writing starts to fall off. No genre seems untouchable nowadays, even scifi, although I do think the show producers did great justice to James S.A. Corey's, The Expanse.

 

Just finished Adrian Tchaikovsky's Children of Time. One of my top reads, let alone sci-fi reads, for the past couple of years for sure. Super well-thought out concepts, good character development, and an irresistible hook that will take you out of your comfort zone when you find out that you really don't know who you are siding with!

Has anyone read this or any of Tchaikovsky's other works??
