This is pretty much how The Handmaiden’s Tale book goes. “Terrorists” nuke DC and some Christian fundamentalists take over.

Yeah in Holland the average work week is less than 30 hours.

Don’t you mean 5/7?

I don’t see much negatively. But I use lemmynsfw.

Sorry what’s the g-word?

I used this movie as the basis for at least three school assignments in high school. Brilliant.

Jerry: “Aren’t you going to see what the message is?”

George: “Nah.”

Kramer: “Why not? It could be important!”

Jerry: “It’s not like you to ignore a message…”

George: “Okay, okay! I’ll tell you. I was sitting at home.”

Jerry: “Doing what?”

George: “Nothing.”

Kramer: “Oh yeah! I love doing nothing! I love it!”

Jerry: “Nothing? Sounds boring.”

George: “Spoken like an amateur. I have it down to an art.”

Kramer: “We should compare notes!”

Jerry: “Anyway, then what happened?”

George: “I get a text from this girl I had lunch with.”

Jerry: “Lunch? Like a date? A” lunch date?"

George: “I don’t know, I don’t know! How can you know? Who suggests lunch when someone asks them out? I don’t know, but she did!”

Kramer: “Yikes!”

Jerry: “Okay, so you get this text message.”

George: “That’s right.”

Jerry: “From the lunch maybe date maybe not woman.”

George: “That’s right.”

Jerry: “What does it say?”

George: “What are you doing?”

Jerry: “I’m asking what the message said!”

George: “I know! The message said, ‘What are you doing?’”

Jerry: “Ooooo. Okay. And?”

George: “So I sent her a reply, that said ‘nothing’.”

Kramer: “Classic mistake.”

George: “Well I wish I had known! How am I supposed to know?!”

Jerry: “I don’t get it. What’s the mistake?”

George: “After I told her that I wasn’t doing anything, she called me!”

Jerry: “On the phone? What for?”

George: “To talk!”

Jerry: “About what?”

George: “Nothing! I wanted to do nothing, not talk about nothing!”

Kramer: “You got yourself a phone talker.”

George: “A phone talker!”

Jerry: “Seems like it. So what are you going to do?”

George: “What can I do? I’m going to have to tell her talking on the phone causes me migraines. It’s the only way…”

Kramer and George leave. Jerry sees a message from Elaine that says, “What are you doing?” He puts the phone down.

Will you please explain this?

I feel like I understand each sentence but not why you put them together.

Except that a recent study shows that a plastic bag charge in the UK significantly changed behaviors:

So the suggestion that people are unchangeable is plausible, but turns out to not be true.

If you watch The Brainwashing of My Dad, this is basically what worked. The documentary maker’s parents moved to a new house and they deliberately didn’t connect Fox News, and then blocked a few web sites. A short while later their dad was back to being a jovial, friendly person again.

.TV is not new. It is a country-code TLD (ccTLD) and has been around since the 20th century.

Boris literally just made up stories about the horrors of the EU when he was a journalist in Brussels:

He definitely helped set the stage for Brexit.

Yeah but your Linux partition is a freak and will do whatever you want. You can even ask it to dress up like Windows or macOS is you want for some reason… it doesn’t care!

I was on vacation in the USA recently, and the existence of pharmaceutical advertisements was shocking. The amount of them was even more shocking!

I think that ISO 8601 is available for free. But agreed that the RFC version is superior.

Are you saying this is what you would change?

Because there were definitely civilizations without currency.

Why would that matter?

Hold it… proof of gym attendance or gym membership?

Because I thought standard practice was to pay for the gym but not go, whether out of your own pocket or on the company… 😏

Yes, and in the video Australia says, “WTF, mate?”

WTF, mate?
