Something about this feels different and maybe "fresher" than the last several marvel movies. The styling, color composition, music, etc. I'm more interested than I expected.

Awesome to see new techniques like this bare fruit. There is just something fascinating about unlocking an artifact's secrets, like unlocking a long sealed box that could be full of treasure.

I used to think the Anne Frank quote was inspiring. Now I just see it as bitterly ironic.

A third term implies the constitution is still in place and don't see them passing an amendment without doing something ridiculous like creating a bunch of extra states.

Far easier to just never end the second term. Claim a national emergency and suspend elections/the constitution.

At first I thought of "Grave of the Fireflies" but that's far to tragic... then maybe Coco for the themes of family, love, and loss.

Right now I'm leaning toward "Hunt for the Wilderpeople".

Of course the obvious answer is "The Princess Bride"...

The people with the authority to officially change the name in the U.S. did so. The opportunity to do something about it was 3 months ago when only about a third of eligible voters voted against this crap. So here we are, and it is only going to get worse.

Why don't they compromise and only count them as 3/5

Can confirm. I was able get this handful of beans for only half a cow. Mom was mad at first, but then calmed down once she saw the cow was all right...

I'm old enough to realize most everything will either need to be replaced or given up as lifestyles change, but young enough not to count random stuff I happen to have.

Some really precious things I'll keep forever, but don't really use.

Just looking around the house and thinking, will I have any of this in my last years is sobering.

That said there are a few knickknacks I'm likely to keep since they are small and easy to keep up with. Maybe my collection of old Christmas albums. A few ornaments. A few Keychain. Deploymas....
