How many fucking letters can I use? I’m sick of editing this shit, just fucking accept the bio, damn.
Hard one. I’ll list a few I suppose
The terminal man by Michael chrichton: a paranoid man has electrodes implanted in his head to stop violent fugue states he enters, but he learns to control the electrodes, and accidentally sets off significantly more intense violent outbursts
Annihilation by Jeff vandermeer: the first part of the southern reach trilogy, an expedition of scientists are sent into a possibly alien anomaly to find out what it is and how to stop it from growing and consuming the land. The environment inside is confusing and seems to infect anyone inside it in some way.
Wizard and Glass by Stephen King: the fourth book in the dark tower series, it’s a flashback to the main characters adolescence, his first mission as an ambassador and spy for his kingdom to find out how a small town may be secretly participating in a civil war, and how a witch may be controlling the enhabitants.
The Stranger by Albert Camus: a man with no motivation or real concern finds himself the focus of a murder trial, and without any interest in defending himself, can’t see how nobody is on his side.
Everything Peele.does is a comment on race and racial issues. In no particular order:
A guy mentions black strength and athleticism is superior, and would be incredible with a white brain.
Nobody notices when black people go missing, and nobody looks for them, as shown by the TSA agent friend failing to get help then doing it himself.
They aren’t living as slaves, they’re pretending to be live in groundskeepers while others are around so they can stay with their family.
4.They newly young/strong people enjoy using their bodies that failed them before the switch, hence the guy running all night.
While the hijacked bodies being lower standing could be a ploy, or a part of their payment for the procedure, I think it’s more likely a jab at racism being so ingrained that black people are looked down on even when they’re white, possibly even by the people that became black.
They choose black people because nobody outside of the inner city neighborhoods they’re taken from would ever recognize them, shown when the main character recognizes the guy at the party.
Nothing the director does isn’t on purpose
I was going to make a joke about how that’s pale woman, not pale women, then I saw the name of the sub.

BPA isn’t the only problem with plastic. It’s plastic itself that is the problem.
But in their case, dishwasher safe means safe for the bottle, not for your endocrine system.
I had never considered that and am now adopting it
A search engine that filters out ai generated sites and content. Or just works at all.
I’ve never seen him play anything other than a stoic dick. It’s almost hard to think of him as a nice guy.
Dreams don’t really make any sense. When you wake up, you’re remembering the emotions and linking them with images, but as the feelings fade, unless you were actively making them into a narrative, the random stimulus soup doesn’t have any staying power worth remembering. Trying to remember just corrupts your working memory and will make you change and add details that weren’t there. Same reason eye witness testimony is very often wrong.
While those are better than your alternative, they’re still sedentary activities that feed your dopamine addiction. Try doing things outside of screens and media. It will help.
He needs something to focus on other than dying and his sick wife. Don’t worry about it, just negate his vote, he’ll die first.
Stop paying attention to the media and do something rewarding. Build stuff, draw, read books, learn to cook, play an instrument, raise chickens, start camping. Do anything other than dwell in your misery. The world will continue regardless of you watching it. If you think everything is terrible, you already know which side of politics is evil, so just vote against them when the the me comes and don’t bother following what’s happening. You can’t effect it and it will only drive you crazy. It’s all just a distraction feeding a dopamine addiction you’ll never be ready to let go of. Social media especially. Play some slick jams and do the dishes, it’s very therapeutic.
No, it’s a freeway loop, so there’s never a jam, and it was like 10pm. Took the normal way back and it cut 12 minutes off a 30 minute trip.
They’ve been secretly doing this for years. I switched out after I realized the weird roads they were having me take weren’t to avoid traffic, but because every corner I turned at had a 7-11 on it. The roads in my area are set up like a grid, so there’s many ways to get everywhere. I’m thinking like 3-4 years ago I noticed the change. I would check with my friend’s phones, and notice Google would give them different directions than mine. Last weekend, a friend was giving me directions to a spot in a neighboring town, and it avoided the freeway to have me drive through the business district of both my town and the destination. I work in the town I was heading to, I know how long it takes to get there. It told us to go literally the worst way possible.
Not that it’s not a shitty thing to do, but it also seems like the last person you would rely on for the value of an object is the person selling it to you.
I would think a museum would be better at spotting forgeries.
I’ve seen it a few times, but I’ll generally just block the account, or the community if it’s not interesting to me. I wouldn’t get in a argument with OP, they seem generally combative by the comments in this post.
I mean, I like the picture, bit you could have a cat a squirrel a coyote and a horse all doing this and say all animals are the same. It’s kind of just how quadrupeds stretch.
