TURTLE

Fun fact: box turtles are so named because their shell has a hinge! All turtles can retreat into their shells to make it harder for predators to get at their squishy bits, but box turtles can also then close the opening of their shell over their head. Like a box.

Yes. I can't help that everything is fascinating to me...

Not an answer to your question, but how are you using stremio with a vpn?

I use stremio+realdebrid+torrentio. Realdebrid doesn't, as far as I know, work while using a vpn, but if there's a way around that I'd love to know.

8I rewatched Nope (again) this morning and it is, from a storytelling perspective, just. so. incredible.

If you haven't seen Nope, there's a huge twist that changes everything and nothing for the characters. Y'all know what I'm talking about if you've seen it.

The director wasted nothing. Everything from costumes to background details either foreshadows something, reinforces a theme, or pays off later in the movie.

The characters are great. The dialogue and character dynamics are realistic and relatable. There are some jumpscares in the first hour-ish of the movie, because it's nominally a horror film. But, like an ogre, the movie has layers. It's also a commentary on the entertainment industry, while also being a commentary on

spoiler...how animals are viewed in the entertainment industry and by society at large

The only correct way to remove eggs, duh

I love that you chose to demonstrate with a screwdriver

My parents spent ages trying to get me to hold a pen the "right" way, pinched near the tip with the thumb, index and middle fingers.

Exactly! It's called planning ahead, get with it NT folks
