Yes, good eye.

A couple of ways of interpretating this maybe:

• curiosity of the sensation
• absolute pathos of just trying to feel something

ADHD dialogue options:

• Backstory leading to conclusion.
• Backstory NOT leading to conclusion.
• Tangent! leading to nowhere!
• Interrupting them.
• Wait, what?

Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves.

Generally well liked by audiences, D&D nerds and film buffs. I watched it and enjoyed it. Some highlights:

• Good storyline with consistent characters and a well paced plot. Good acting and notable names in the cast with some newer talent too.
• Creators clearly loved their source material. Lots of world building detail if you're into that. Good mix of both practical effects and special effects. The Paladin's intro and the Jarnathan scene are good examples of practical effects side, and the dragon and spell casting are good examples of SFX.
• From the D&D side, you get the feel of "just a bunch of friends getting together for a tabletop adventure." They ham up the comedy a bit. The Paladin is like a player or DMPC that joins for one session and then peaces out. Apparently even the events of the combat sequences go in initiative order.

Fun movie, would recommend.

OK hear me out: It should be named after the first European explorer to discover it and popularize the European expansion: Christopher Columbus.

• Like its namesake, the nation too is racist, cruel and genocidal. Even the Spanish Inquisition era Catholics were like, damn Christopher!
• Like the largest exporter of cocaíne in South America, it too is full of drugs, and its elections are the plaything of big money cartels and foreign powers.
• It was mostly settled by white people from England.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give to you your new nation: British Columbia.

It evokes a Devil May Care attitude towards risk and danger.

Edit: also... this

I see they're following the Tumblr model:

• Get bought at overinflated values.
• Ban all NSFW content.
• Users leave and seek NSFW content elsewhere.
• Valuation plummets.
• "Actually, moderating NSFW is really hard you guys. We're just going to try best efforts moderation only."
• Sell at near total loss.
• There is still NSFW content on the platform, and the policy is used as a cudgel against LGBTQ accounts.

Why stop there? Girlnemesis. Girlcomrade. Girlally. Girlchampion. Girlquaintance. Girlconfidante. Girlboss. Girllisteningear. Girlgirlfriend.

David Attenborough voiceover

"Americans, like the common clownfish and some species of frogs, can change sex. While these other animals do so during times of environmental stress or population imbalance, Americans can do so via a strange, opaque process called, "The Executive Order." Unlike their aquatic peers who change on an individual basis, the entire population of Americans changes all at once. This behavior is otherwise unknown in the animal kingdom, and it is unclear what evolutionary advantage this offers, if any."

They want your dog to like them??? 😭❤️😭💘

The people are all gone, the Langoliers just haven't shown up yet.
