That’s super normal. It’s important to remember objects don’t have any importance behind what we assign to them. If you still value that relationship maybe you can find a way to preserve it physically like the other commenters have suggested or it may be time to acknowledge that portion of your life is over and this can be symbolic closure. I have a beautiful handmade quilt from an ex-girlfriend and I haven’t seen her in almost a decade yet I keep it because the meaning behind it at the time is still important to me

An important thing to remember in these situations: “you cannot control your emotions, but you can control your reaction to them and allow that to shape you in the future”

They already had a Knuckles mini-series

I’ve got the same shit happening. I don’t like audiobooks but there’s a series I like where the third is an audible exclusive. So I have to pay money to Amazon for a service I don’t want if I want to read that book

Personally I pirate my books and if there’s one I particularly like then I’ll go find the author and give them money directly. Most have a substack/patreon/ko.fi and they get more money

(normally)

Doing a lot of heavy lifting there

Pimento cheese and a slice of tomato grilled on buttered sourdough. A southern classic

Recently PLUR1BUS seems alright, one of the characters in the show even argues that things are better

"Don’t, don’t, don’t let’s start

This is the worst part

Could believe for all the world

That you’re my precious little girl

But don’t, don’t, don’t let’s start

I’ve got a weak heart

And I don’t get around how you get around"

Possibly, but a lot of plants want to be eaten, for lack of a better phrase. Most fruiting plants reproduce by being eaten. You’re not killing a strawberry plant by eating the berry, you’re helping it

Plus if people are just eating each other then we’d only last 33 months. I don’t think that makes a lot of sense for an alien virus. Consider that whatever sent the signal knew enough to know our DNA. I think it’s reasonable to assume it has an idea of how many people are on the planet. If you wanted to wipe us out there are more efficient diseases and who knows how long it was going to take us to get the first person infected. It just seems short sighted for something presumably very intelligent

I know that they have said that they don’t kill, but does that extend to plants? We saw them operating food distribution in the intro and I don’t think cannibalism gives you all the nutrients you need. I would guess reutilizing the human meat is more efficient is what they’ll say is happening but Carol is going to think that is an important part of maintaining their control

I mean, if history is any guide they’ll either wipe us all out with superior technology, enslave us, or some space disease will kill us all. Regardless, I’d anticipate it going poorly for humanity

I would guess the Batcave uses something proprietary based off of Wayne tech because he’s very paranoid. I’d also imagine it integrates some watch tower tech which is likely mostly from Cyborg

Charlotte isn’t in that zone and they’re behaving just like they are in other cities. In shocking news, the guys ignoring laws to do whatever they want don’t care about this law

He’s actually a fan of Mein Kampf

A huge point of I, Robot is that there isn’t some exact instructions you can give robots that will have them always protect humanity. They have an inherent danger in their literalism

Upgrade rips. I think the camera work does a lot of heavy lifting for the action and selling the cybernetic upgrades. If you want something similar Hardcore Henry is good and shot in first person for more unique camera work

I found Good Fortune to be largely inert. You can tell that Aziz knows what he should be writing about for our current political climate but has been a little too removed from it to have anything worthwhile to say

Godzilla x Kong 3.5/5: Overall pretty enjoyable, the intro conspiracy theory stuff is dumb but that largely drops off after the first half hour and there’s a lot of action. I was curious who they’d have to team up to fight and I wasn’t disappointed. The hollow earth stuff is goofy but I’m excited to see where it goes

The Monkey 3/5: It’s channeling Final Destination but not enough. It tries to walk the line between bonkers cursed monkey kills and trying to connect to your broken family and it really needs to pick a lane. Either one could have been good but together they give you tonal Whiplash

Nobody 2 2.5/5: My 200th movie of the year! It’s a John Wick knock off but Odenkirk isn’t as funny as he could be. They obviously try to lean into the humor violence in the final act but I don’t like that his family is running around the whole time, especially because they insert a surrogate family for him to care about. The villain feels out of place as well

Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping 3.5/5: I like all of the Lonely Island movies and this is probably near the bottom of my list. Later they figured out that these don’t need to be feature length and that was a big improvement for them. Bin Laden is a super funny song and they get so many celebs to make cameos. It’s very nostalgic for me as The Lonely Island was huge for me in school

Magic: the Gathering

It’s a sport if it was on ESPN!

I’d like to share your optimism but I think we’re going to be hearing about him for the rest of our lives. Reagan has been cold in the ground for 2 decades and I still hear about his bitch ass all the time
