Congratulations. That is not easy to do!

I just wrapped up a delightful trip with my bride of 20 something years and got a job offer for a different position in my company during the trip.

It was a practically perfect trip, but I'm also very excited to go home because I have 4 more days of vacation left and I can't wait go be reunited with my cats, and relax around the house for a few days.

You think way way way too much of voters if you think Gaza lost her the election. Pardon me if I'm completely misconstruing your comment.

If Lemmy is social media, then Lemmy is my only social media app. I have Mastadon installed but I never use it.

I think it has been a decade since I used Facebook or Twitter and I never tried any of the later generation of networks like Snap or TikTok.

Due to the nature of my work I've flown hundreds of passenger flights of all sizes and I still find myself in awe.

What a privilege to be able to actually see down from such a range of heights too. Where there is still lots of detail to be found, but you can also get an appreciation of scale. It's honestly really amazing.

Lest anyone think this is about policy or even politics - it ain't.

This is about the wrong guy getting the headlines. Simple as.

Spot on. This thread got me to rewatch it tonight and I gotta say, it hits even harder this close to the election. Almost painfully plausible.

It's not a true story, but it is a very high fidelity representation of reality.

Too fucking relatable and more every day.

In not alarming news...Maybe the annual tradition of pardoning a turkey will remain largely unchanged

Not as extreme as the case in the OP, but I'm often surprised how "meh" a reaction Don't Look Up got. Maybe people think it was heavy handed? Too on the nose? I don't know but most folks seem to think it was at best merely "okay".

For me, I place it next to Idiocracy as one of the most prescient films about what is in store for us. I think after this last election day, it seems even more prescient. On top of that, it is legitimately funny with really good performances, especially from Jennifer Lawrence.
