7·8 days agowhat happens when they don’t deliver?
It will be the fault of The Other. The Other is evil. The Other is ruthless. The Other is mixing drag queen and trans DNA in your child’s classroom using your fine silver and selling it to power the space lasers. Lies are the gift that keeps on giving.
They used to be experimental engineers until the accident.
Hard to avoid the local cable monopoly for internet.
Doubtful. Dude ain’t got no ups.
Where do pieces end and particles begin?

…huh. I wonder if this means I should play the lottery, or if my cosmic coincidence currency has already been consumed lol.
You’re not wrong 😅 But as far as I’m concerned there’s no expiration date on literature. Somewhere, someone is reading the books for the first time. The odds of them also being on Lemmy are astronomically small. But it was enough of an “oh shit” moment IMO that it was worth the half-second it took to hit the spoiler button.
Tap for ramblings of an old man about old children's books
It was also the moment that jolted me out of whatever enjoyment I had been getting out of The Last Battle. Whenever I would do a re-read, things really slowed down for Silver Chair and Horse And His Boy, picked back up wonderfully for Magician’s Nephew, then Last Battle would ham-fist its way through to the end, with Furry Jesus reveling with his most devout disciples. Just eye-rolling stuff.
The Wardrobe movie from a while back was a surprisingly good adaptation, and as the series went on (and then stalled out after Dawn Treader) I was worried about the actors literally aging out of being able to play the roles. Thinking back, it was probably for the best that it ended there.
It’s not that deep. The whole series is thinly veiled Christianity. By the end, Susan lost her faith. That’s it. She no longer held Narnia in her heart. But it’s an allegory for children so it was couched in awkward old man language. Why Susan and not Peter? Regular old misogyny, Eve-style.
1950 is when the first book was published. Susan being excluded completely didn’t happen until the last book, in 1956. And considering

They all fucking died IRL
Susan being unable to enter
HeavenNarnia because she no longer believed makes sense narratively and thematically.If you want to see this as some sort of commentary on child marriage laws, well… have fun.
I have two Vizio panels, a 2017 and a 2023. Neither are connected to my network. The 2017 got a couple of firmware updates via wired connection in the first year but I nixed that after an update nearly bricked it. The 2023 will turn itself back on for a few seconds occasionally (just the electronics, not the panel)… possibly looking for an open network but I have no way to verify. Neither complain about a lack of connection unless I accidentally select their streaming input.
Someone pressed pause and fast forward on the tape deck and some gears got irreparably jammed.
I had the soundtrack to the second Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie on cassette when I was a kid. There was a Ya Kid K song on it.
This was approximately three years after the debut of Belgian techno anthem Pump Up The Jam.
WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THIS SPECIES?!
Yes.
Happy to be of assistance.
