The five elements you need to save the earth! You wont believe what the fifth one is.

Yes, you might, if you're caught by an unreasonable cop. Its a very general law that relies on a fictional amount of "common sense" .

The 3 criminals that got hit with that justice system got away with kidnapping a person and underfeeding a trapped animal before they were finally caught red-handed stealing sausages and cake. They spent only a few days in a minimum security prison, got free soap and a haircut and food and support, before they were freed and given jobs after proving they had changed for the better.

Wish it was this easy in our world. But we are trying to be as close to it as is sensible.

Thats always how its been for stories, popular characters get reused by storytellers. The difference in the modern world is that the authors have the final say in who is allowed to milk said character for up to the authors lifetime plus 70 years.

My agoraphobia says "not between people". So first or last seat in a row. Distance to the screen is irrelevant.

Yeah, it IS cool! Even cooler is learning how language and words has evolved over time. A word you thought you knew might have had completely different meaning a few years or a century ago, and often gives a hint about the culture back then. If I redid my life, I would love to have become a language researcher.

The written word is well and good, but writing and reading didn't become common among everyone until some figured out how to mass-produce writings. The modern world, easy access to education, and many battles for equality and freedom, they couldn't have happened without printed books. We can learn about the sagas and myths of countless cultures around the world without being a noble or a monk or a scribe, and without knowing the original language. So.. Books. The magic in writing became so much more powerful with books.

I feel that for the rentable e-bikes and e-kick scooters. No need for overcrowded buses or car queues. No need to be afraid my bike is gonna get stolen when i park it. They are everywhere in the city. And is often faster than the bus too.

Just too bad some people cant park them properly, cant follow simple rules, and cant not try to ruin them.

Purely a kids movie, or..?

If its the same type of movie as Mitchell's vs the machines, its watchable by child-less grownups, imo. But if its in the type of the 2012 Nickelodeon TMNT series, its for kids.
