One of my favorite movies of all time. Too bad I will miss it.

Seems like that's a good time to go 'Oh, maybe we should change it to say 11 then'.

Unless there are 3 of them hiding behind that machine, that looks like 11 to me?

Yes, I too am aware that people often misuse words. It might be safe to assume that the guy who just demonstrated that he knows how to operate a dictionary probably isn't one of them though. Especially if you had read my comment that they were replying to, because then you would have seen that the nation I was calling an authoritarian regime (in fact, a 'whole-ass authoritarian regime') was Nazi Germany, so I don't think we were in any danger of not labeling Western colonial powers as authoritarian in this thread.

Nah, it's more that the answer to 'why is doing this?' is virtually always 'because money'. People forget that sometimes.

It's weird to juggle anywhere, but you shouldn't let that stop you cause everybody's weird in some way or another and that's fine. A park seems like as good a place as any.

Hmm, obvious troll is obvious. My apologies for assuming that you were merely confused rather than confused and malicious. I won't make that mistake again.

Here's a tip: don't shove that phone in my face unless you want it smashed.

Joining a book and 2 movie clubs was one of the best things I've done in recent years. The book club sadly fizzled cause people didn't have time, but we have a bi-weekly movie club where we pick complex, difficult movies and talk about their themes and such, and a monthly kung-fu movie night where we just hang out and watch silly movies, and they're the highlight of my online week.

You know any discord servers for readers of sci-fi? I've looked around a couple times and the ones I've found are either tiny and inactive or huge and have way too much going on.

Find a discord server with some folks you share interests with and talk to them. I joined a ~300-person gaming/tabletop community a couple years ago and while I don't have any really close friends among them, they're great to chat and hang out and play games with. I've taken to spending the last couple hours of most days just hanging out in voice with people and shooting the shit, it's great.

Because The Guardian is using the article written by The Guardian about what good people The Guardian are to raise money for The Guardian. :P
