The original hunger games book was great. The sloppy attempt of turning it into the next Harry Potter saga as fast as possible not so much. The sequels weren't that good IMO, especially the last one. It's inferior world building all to make a quick buck.

I like it and don't want it to change

In 2007 you could still edit wikipedia really easily and that's when it started to get really big and started appearing at the top of every Google search.

When I was in high school we would change it on purpose for smaller things as a prank (one of our teachers had a page because they were published).

I remember in history class we would edit it to show how easy misinformation could get published on the internet.

They tightened it up after, so that's probably why the edit numbers went down.

I think we are just getting old... mixed with the covid timewarp blackhole

15 years then.

I measure in sandwiches. A $6 sandwich 10 years ago is $15-$20 today.

Edit: maybe 15 years.

Also when I was a little boy in the 90s school lunch cost $1.50.

Are the catcalling construction guys a victim of their jobs increasing their testosterone? If we made a bunch of insurance agents work construction for a year would they start to feel the biological compulsion to yell "why doncha smile?"

The issue I run up against constantly (starting a business) is that I'm trying to do something many people have done and are doing, but I'm not doing it at their level and it seems impossible.

Or a forest where they then decide its not worth trying to find you.

There's a middleground, I think. Different people have different risk tolerance-- I think the small "out of your comfort level" choices are the harder ones because they actually affect your life.

I wish someone had told me this. If you don't actively make yourself push your non-school goals further, they will never happen. 10 years sounds so long but it happens in a blink. Realizing i spent most of my free time on social media is a regret I will carry to my grave

The one scene I don't see get discussed much is when his brother whos supposed to take over so he can leave shows up married with a fantastic job offer, and he just knows he's never getting out of there. That's when he goes over to Mary and decides his dreams are over. Its supposed to be some super romantic scene but it's really him coming to terms with quitting his dreams and settling. She is plan B. He's mad about it and conflicted.

George didn't "lack focus", it's that at every turn of his life he had to make a choice: act in his self interest, or in the interest of others. He sacrafices his dreams every single time to help others.

If you love that scene there's no doubt you'll get there. The dating world is the antithesis of that scene, so you really have to shop, but there's plenty of lost people who wish they could find you.

Cranston did alright in seinfeld

And they're all anti-precience no-ships

Yeah, It would have to be so cheap that you could easily repair it every year

But if you don't need structural support and can wrap it around all sorts of stuff, that's a huge advantage. As an architect, panel size, limited space, and structural support are tge major reasons why we don't put solar on roofs when the building even when the owner has expressed interest in it.

It's the prospect of finding a great meme, not the meme itself, that keeps you going into the night. Like gambling.
