Plus the two aren’t mutually exclusive. You could just as easily go to prison and then just be abandoned there once the climate becomes uninhabitable anyway. Wouldn’t be the first time:

Back in 2005, when Katrina hit New Orleans, prison guards abandoned prisoners in locked cells as the floodwaters rose chest-high. Several thousand of those inmates were eventually rescued, but then miserably housed on a broken piece of interstate, directly exposed to the Southern summer sun.

As a non-American, sometimes you open your phone and there’s a meme with no context about a candidate being shot in the ear, or people eating cats, or transgender aliens or babies being aborted after they’re born or the president trying to buy Greenland and you just kind of go “Oh, America” and go about your day lol.

I almost felt the same way about MalwareBytes. I know it’s actually useful but it hassled me so much about upgrading to premium that it was more annoying than having actual malware.

It’s kind of bittersweet being a very tail-end Gen X person. On the happy side, I got to do my childhood and teen years in the “fuck about” era, but on the unhappy side my entire adulthood has been in the “find out” era, and I get to remember what it was like briefly living in a world that wasn’t entirely going to shit.

In my experience it’s the orange and white ones you need to watch out for. Orange ones seem to be dumb but dopey, white cats are full of evil chaos but orange and white ones seem to get the chaos part and the dumb part. Just pure undirected non-stop dumb energy lol.

He has recently returned to so some audio stories if that helps at all!

Jared Harris is great in it too, although he’s kind of under-utilized I think.

As a Brit living in another country, I get this too. People make jokes about me liking Doctor Who, drinking lots of tea and having bad teeth.

How dare you but also that is completely accurate.

I assume like every other country’s big climate plans they’ll announce it, do nothing and then back pedal on it 2 years from now.

Credit for goals hit, not just stated.

I would definitely watch that!

I think it would depend on how confident I am that I’d be able to beat the kidnappers.

If it’s like inept comedy movie kidnappers and I feel like I’m on my way to deliver an ass kicking, then yes I’d play pump-up music.

If it’s scary KGB/ISIS kidnappers and I’m probably on my way to perform a well-intentioned yet ultimately futile gesture where I’ll likely get killed before I even get through the door, then probably no tunes for that one.

Season 2 is definitely the slowest season I think. It’s a bit of a slog but it’s doing a lot of the legwork for seasons 3 and 4 to go wild so it does kind of pay off in the long run IMO.

There are two new seasons and a movie!

Also Mr. Robot and Foundation and Good Omens and Fleabag and the new Beavis and Butthead and Station Eleven and Doctor Who is about to get good again and Irma Vep was great but I don’t think that one’s coming back

I definitely wouldn’t say it’s the best show of the last 10 years TBH. The first season is fun, and the second one kind of trails off a bit IMO.

The fishes, right?

It’s always fun for revenge stories too!

I had one game in I think Civ V where Dido was just being an asshole to me the entire game, and in the sort of mid-late game she did her big move and invaded. I lost maybe 3 cities, then the defenses started to hold and I pushed back. Took my cities back and then just kept going, and absolutely refused all offers on peace (which were becoming increasingly elaborate.) Even when every other civilization started denouncing me as a warmonger even though I didn’t start it, I kept going. Eventually got her down to two cities. I took the one closest to me, renamed it to Fart City, then offered it back to her in exchange for peace which she gladly took.

Then I waited a few turns until it had cooled off, then declared war on her again. This time I took the city on the other side, leaving her with Fart City and about three workable tiles, completely surrounded within my territory. I stayed at war for the entire rest of the game, with troops completely surrounding her. Every time she built an improvement I instantly pillaged it, ever worker was instantly captured, every troop immediately blasted. She just got to live out the next thousand years or so in squalor in Fart City, while every other country denounced me for my crimes lol.

Oh yeah sorry, that wasn’t very clear! I meant we’re absolutely going to cheap out and kick the can down the road again lol.

I’m no expert but I’m going to go out on a limb and say:

• We cheaped out on infrastructure decades ago, knew it was probably a bad idea but kicked the can down the road so it’d be someone else’s problem one day and now that’s us.

• The solution is to fix thing properly and not cheap out and kick the can down the road again, which is absolutely what we’re going to do.
