Halloween I assume? Hardly religious anymore though...

You know the story isn't real, and any "explanation" that makes it seem logical is purely designed by the author, right? She didn't survive anything. King made up a story about a sexual assault survivor and wrote this into it. He could have chosen literally anything else.

I started rewatching it recently (I haven't seen the newer seasons). There is an argument that that plane was an accident. He lasered the hijacker and destroyed the controls. At minimum, it's incredibly careless though, and he's still at fault for it and for not really giving a shit about the people on the plane. It's possible it's on purpose, but they don't make it explicit that he's evil then. Only that he's selfish.

The plane with the senator though? Yeah, he did that on his own on purpose.

I made this post almost a year ago after Trump was declared the winner of the election, comparing Trump to the God Emperor of Dune —waking people up from following charismatic leaders and to be free and think for themselves. I wasn't expecting him to go full God Emperor and try to rule for thousands of years though!

I think it should, but I don't think it does. The first definition that shows up when I search the word: "The edible flesh of animals, especially that of mammals as opposed to that of fish or poultry." It explicitly excludes fish, though I do think poultry is generally considered meat, so maybe this isn't perfect. Every definition that is about flesh from a creature seems to exclude fish though.

The distinction of fish not being meat is the reason why the pescetarian diet exists. It's a diet next to vegetarian, but allows fish. The don't eat "meat."

I think they mean it's normal roundabout rules until a signal is given that means "no entry." It's not a controlled entry typically until a pedestrian hits a button and it's only "stop" at all entrances.

Fun fact! In English, the word meat does not include fish (at least usually). You can thank the Catholics for that one.

Yeah, if people kept eating steak at the same rate, but reduced or stopped eating all the garbage meat, they and the world would be a healthier happier place. I'm not against eating meat, but I am against they typical western, especially American, focus on eating so much of it.

Yeah, I ignored it when it release, assuming it was just some stupid blockbuster action movie. I watched it recently when Christopher Bingham talked about it in his time loop series. I was really surprised by how much I enjoyed it.

Like The Outer Wilds (if you take the threat of stopping the loop seriously)? No fighting though, but similar discovery loop leading to a commit and execute run.

I'm pretty sure I watched John Wick 4. I would totally disagree with that one. The further they went the more stupid it got, and it drove me crazy. It stopped being entertaining when everything just turned into gun magic (particularly for the good guys) instead of gun fu. The first one is great, is grounded, and it has stakes. Then they lose it, especially when they're walking around with their suit coats that block any bullet and can't be harmed. I'd rather watch Wanted or something if I want gun magic. At least it's willing to have fun with the idea.

I didn't even know there was a Wikipedia app. What's the point? What does it do better than a web browser?
