I am very impressed about your directness and take charge attitude. Your approach of bring others in to help you accomplish your goals really speaks of future CEO material to me.

Rampage was actually a good (if fucked up) movie.

Back when I had free time, I watched a lot of bad movies. Good bad (Tromeo and Juliet ) bad bad (BloodRayne). Just about everything of Boll's falls into the second bucket, but Rampage is in neither. I don't want to oversell this, but its an above average movie.

I met a guy preaching the carnivore diet bullshit. He was actually a pretty nice dude, not a right winger just fell for the silly carrots are poison nonsense. I didn't even bother to point out bioaccumulation / biomagnification, I was too preoccupied trying to understand where these insanely stupid ideas come from. I heard through our mutual friend he abandoned those ideas.

There is definately overlap with political chicanery. Super weird.

Oddly it was the first thing to pass through my mind too for some reason. How do you make a dip political ?

Garlic. Lots of garlic.

yeah. I try to give him some grace as a scifi writer with him seeing the sexual revolution in the 60s based on the release of the pill and trying to imagine where the trajectory will end in 50, 100 years when you separate sex from reproduction. Still his take was kinda creepy and gross.

I think the worst example of him trying to write women was "I Will Fear No Evil". It is an interesting story as it attempts to reconcile sex and gender written from a cis man in the 1970s, but its pretty messed up. I appreciate that he seems to attempt to bring these ideas into mainstream consciousness, I just wonder if he could have done some more research.

Its been a LONG time for me, but doesn't it get weird incestous and pedo at the end?

I have not seen that, I will have to check it out.

I thought stranger in a strange land would make a great miniseries. I loved that book as a teen. I read it as an adult some years ago and it didn't hit the same way. Still, it could be adapted to an impactful story today. People would learn where grok came from and disassociate it with Musk's racist piece of trash (pisses me off).

"Number of the Beast" is not one of his good ones.

Underline used to be manual proofreader markup for something that was supposed to be italicized.

I am trying to slowly peel away from Google and my next task is Google Calendar. I currently have a couple shared calendars with other people and I'm not going to be able to break them free from Google quite yet. I have a next cloud server I was hoping to set up to be my primary source but I need to be able to interact with the shared calendars as well. Can I create a group calendar and have other persons, Google Calendar sync to it?

I'm not married to Next Cloud. It was just what I have available. I can do a different setup if that would work better.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

TIA
