Which ideas got used in the adventure?

What did you eventually go with for the adventure?

This. Until a couple years ago "social media" always referred specifically to sites like Belen describes here (with the added detail of the abusive algorithms mentioned elsewhere). It's only comparatively recently that I've started to encounter people using it in the very broad and literal sense...

Ok, just came across another group of franchises where there's a striking similarity. The eponymous Dark Tower from Stephen King's book series has a lot of similarities with the tower lore from The Ender Scrolls (although I think in this instance both may have been inspired by the mythological...

Has anyone talked yet about the idea of the movie Event Horizon being a prequel to Warhammer 40000

Which ones have you seen? Because I'd agree that a lot of his movies are overhyped but I think The Shining solidly lives up to its reputation

Personally I like 1 and 3 but think that 2 doesn't quite fit. The tone's off; it's too intense compared to the other two.

For some careers it also makes a difference to the people around you whether you're doing it as a hobby. Admittedly not so much for a teacher; but, for example, a person who makes art purely as a hobby, is less likely to bitch about AI than somebody who monetizes their art, because they don't...

Apparently Vietnam is a semi-major oil producer. Sadly, that explains a lot.
