Oh that's clever, I'm keeping this one in my back pocket

What's at the start of an era, twice in a generation, nowhere in an instant, but awaits you at the end of time?

I'm not really ON facebook. But way too many of my friends use it as a way to send invites to events. I literally just pop in every other week to check notifications and see if anybody invited me to anything. It's kind of infuriating how no other method makes it so easy to just invite 20 people somewhere.

The fediverse doesn't have a decent calendar/invite solution does it?

Yeah, both ties are too high, definitely prefer the bow tie though.

What I usually do is think about all the time today when I wanted to be left alone. To be uninterrupted. To just get five minutes to myself.

Because now, I have it. I have all the time in the world. I can do nothing. I can let my mind wander. No one will interrupt, no one will dump bullshit on me. Countless times today I just wanted a pause button for five minutes and now I have hours to just do nothing.

Then I wake up and realize "nope, all that time is now gone". Can't catch a fuckin break.

Oh I found it, but it also was on eastern time. I'm in the central time zone. So without a syncronize step it was an hour ahead.

I was just looking for something to put in the background while my wife and I chilled. I just like to have that 10 second countdown ya know?

I won't say it's hated but I feel like it completely fell under the radar because of covid.

Ron's Gone Wrong

I really liked it. It came out of 20th century studios, I suppose it's technically under Disney now. It got released and no one gave it the time of day.

Now you've reminded me of this joke again.

Gotta love that narrator. One of my favorite narrators in a movie.

Murdoch was dead on. I thought face was pretty good. Liam did a decent Hannibal and BA was fine.

What irked me was this weird back story of like... trying to let face taking over to lead the group sort of thing, plus the romance. It really rubbed me the wrong way.

Like, the A team isn't some club, they're this perfect storm of chaos towards bad guys, there isn't so much a hierarchy as just this inexplicable plot armor and audacity. If it wasn't all four it would all fall apart.

Oh I agree, it's horrifying. And I have noooo guarantee that it's me doing the jump. Don't misunderstand I am NOT the only real mind in this example. I'm curently just hitching a ride on said laser beam. No guarantees that I will be the same or even exist if somebody so much as moves a pebble into the past from the future.

Existential dread all the way. If we get time travel I think it's as horrifying a prospect as teleportation on a universal scale with only the traveller maintaining continuity.

What happened to the timeline you left? It must still exist. You couldn’t have been the only consciousness that was experiencing it. To think otherwise is some extreme solipsism.

Why does it need to remain? It seems like solipsism to assume it must remain because it's your point of origin. If something or someone has the power to drop something into the past why wouldnt it overwrite everything? I don't see why consciousness even gets applied. The universe keeps on whether I am alive, asleep, or dead.

I see the path of time like a laser beam in a house of mirrors. If someone has the power to add a mirror somewhere. Yep, the whole beam after the fact is a vastly different pattern. Any multiverse would be entirely virtual and theoretical.

You don't share food if you're starving. You don't share time if you work 12 hour days, every day.

If you spend all your energy on survival, you got no energy to spare on anyone else. I bet our hypothetical starving person would be moral and share, if they had the chance and materials.

If they don't... then it's not a matter of won't it's can't. People are more likely to share food they have excess of, time they have excess of. If they can't spare it, they won't.
