He reined over a period of drought, but there’s no way he could have controlled the weather. That’s like blaming the government for there being car accidents. Simba exploited the working and noble classes into thinking that Scar was to blame for natural cycles. Thus he was able to lead a rebellion against their best interests and restored his line to the monarchy. Upper nobles playing everyone else against each other but, at the end of the day, the monarchical status quo was maintained. Feudalism in action.

Oh my goodness… my job requires me to work with a team on some fairly industry specialized software (steaming and broadcast television); the way my coworkers have their shit set up is so weird. It’s like we are all speaking the same language, but with wildly different dialects.

College program in 06, seasonal transportation car member for two years after that.

Traditions! That’s what it’s called! Couldn’t for the life of me remember.

Where’d you work? I was a monorail pilot down in Orlando.

Sorry, was drunk when writing that. Meant it to be implied that this is what companies tell their employees about why they do it.

There’s all these iconic photos of Walt Disney where he’s pointing at stuff with a two finger point. I’ve heard that some within the company say that this is the example by which their resort employees always use the two finger point to direct guests.

In reality, he was holding a cigarette and the photos have been airbrushed. He died of lung cancer in 1966. Pointing with two fingers is just seen (kind of universally across cultures) as being non-accusatory. Like, say you saw someone talking to someone else and you cannot hear them (or it’s in a language you don’t understand); they’re pointing with one finger in your direction, you may be inclined to think they’re talking about you. If they’re using the two finger point, you’re less likely to think that… it’s the same for airliner flight crew.

Awe… I miss my Blackberry Torch… easily in my top five favorite phones of all time.

Thinking about it now… Rosie the Robot was presented to the viewer as a being that was basically sentient and fully self aware. In fact, she could and did fall in love at one point. Like… the family owned her. She was a possession. Was that slavery? Is the future depicted in “The Jetsons” a slave based one?

The Brian Herbert books aren’t bad, but don’t go into them thinking that the writing will be the same as his father. I’ve read a few of them through the anti AI Jihad timeline. They’re not terrible but they feel a little rushed compared to Frank’s writing… not “we need to get these out for the sake of the IP” like how Disney is just printing Marvel movies, but more like “meh, it could be better, but that’s as good as we’re gonna get it for now, just publish it.”

Magic is what it was.

Same here, but most boxes had a simple switch on the back to select between the two.

You used to have to print out a document and then scan it into another machine that would use landlines to send it to another printer so someone, somewhere else, could have the document.
