This image was from a terrible Willy Wonka attraction a few weeks ago. People paid real money to see this.

Parents were upset, children cried and the cops were called.

"my unspecifed buddy is an expert on the matter. He once told me that vegans are causing all kinds of problems with farmers, due the the decreased meat consumption the anamials aren't getting kill as much, causing over population and increased methane emissions. This is bad for the environment, vegans are dooming us all."

Is that enough bull for the day?

Not too worried, but appricate the reply.

I added a lot of text to each thing when I read someone else say something like "recomendations without giving any reason to watch are annoying", and I thought good point!

How else do you think they remember the directions to their summer home every year?

I do hope in time more niche communities will pop up. As long as people stay active, the less lazy (or those with more free time) will make the little communities we miss.

Yeah, I meant to give one maybe two ideas...then I went overboard. Sorry about that. I did at least avoid anything that took 7 seasons to "get good".

Spy Family is a good one to try. Its about a make shift family between a spy, an assiasn and a young kid who can read minds. They all have to keep their true identities secret from eachother in fear of losing their cover family.

Good from the start, good in the middle and on track to be good in the end.


A lot of anime is goofy and absurd and you have to roll with it. Some good ones will have a seemingly goofy premise but end up dark as hell and keep you up at night.

If you want somethibg more relaxing and less time commitment, the Studio Ghibli movies are good. The art and stories are great. Most of the movies don't have a predominant villain, but are more about personal challenges and the characters growing to overcome whatever the outside problem is. "My Neighbor Totoro", "Ponyo" and "Spirited Away" are great examples of this.

"Castle in the sky" is fun. If you like action spy/theif type movies "Lupin III Castle of Cagliostro" is a good one from the 70's.

Like american/western shows, there's a lot of garabage mixed in, and sometime even the popular stuff might not be to your taste. (I never got into dragon ball, despite it being one of the most popular anime)

Sorry didnt mean to make a long post, just started typing ideas.....

Depends on the reader I suppose. But in my expirances, its much much worse. You see, in a book you can quickly flip back and forth between pages. Moving bookmarks takes no effort. On a ereader you have to pick your page via a menu, go go your book marks via different menu. Delete bookmark via menu

Menu menu menu click click click its awful.

Got a book with a map at the front? Well you better memorize it because its not worth the effort to flip back and forth when ever some location comes up.

Your missing apple numbers somewhere in there. I think between libre and excel online? Been years since I've used it for 5 minutes.

I'd recommend looking on YouTube, "Life After Layoff" has some good interview advice. There's many more, but that's the one I remember right now.

Generally, the response should be related to you're "professional life", not your private one. They don't care that you have 6 brothers and sisters and like to hike - your looking for a job, not a date. If your job happened to be for a national park baby sitting children, then your personal life just became much more relevant.

This question can be used to naturally lead into the "where do you see your self in 5 years" question, by talking about some of your career goals (if relevenat). Let's say your goal is to be a park ranger, and the job your appling is to go around the park cleaning up - that's a reasonable jump. If your planning to leave the job after a bit, don't tell them anything to make it obvious.

If you can bring relevant past expirances of things you did (not just job title) into the conversation that's good. Maybe you used to work at the local park keeping it clean from the local teens, advocated for trashbins to be installed and you want to continue taking care of nature on a larger scale.

Obviously those examples are completely made up, but including expirances to your responces can make a huge difference.
