I like to pull this list up whenever someone starts talking about how the signs are clear that the end is near: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_dates_predicted_for_apocalyptic_events
Honestly, this is just an indictment of the health care system in the Forgotten Realms. Mindflayers should control a powerful lord to mandate universal healthcare and improve the supply of potions and employ cleric healers throughout the realm.
"Sorry, guys, but I gotta bail."
Technically, you could say we're the ones who set since it's the Earth's rotation causing the change.
California also isn't an island, but it's named after a fictional island in a Spanish novel, and was once thought to be an island.
Die Another Day was meh, but I really didn't care for Skyfall and No Time to Die. The plots were too contingent on inorganic and out of character details. Q wouldn't be stupid enough to plug a USB drive into an MI6 networked device found on a known hacker supervillain. The convenience of the targeted DNA nanobots just magically being declared to have no solution without anyone doing any testing of theories was unbelievable and just revealed the obvious "we need to kill Bond in this one so come up with a reason for him to die nobly" pitch meeting pitch. It ruined the suspension of disbelief entirely. I feel like they just tried too hard to keep upping the stakes and outdo themselves that it just got ridiculous.
A review for a story I wrote involved the reader assuming I was making references to popular media that I didn't intend at all and some were inspired by something else entirely.
I think this type of interpretation often indicates the state of mind of the audience member rather than the artist. It's perfectly fine, but it might be more accurate to say, "when I see the artist's blue curtains, it makes me think of..."
I yearn to eat a potato I looted from the body of a zombie that I killed with a sword I made out of a tree that I cut down by punching it.
I'm not sure I understand the "yesterday's" part. Thomas the Tank Engine predates Cars by decades.
You were excited to get email because it was almost always from a human being who put meaning and intent into their message. It was like getting a handwritten letter compared to all the random terms of service update emails from a service you haven't used in four years and emails from a service you didn't sign up for because someone else thinks your email address is their email address and the outright spam in the filter.
Weird. I was thinking the post was saying Mac kids were less digitally literate because of the whole "it just works" culture. When I ran a help desk, the Mac users were definitely less adept. The pattern seems to continue with iPhone and Android users I encounter today.
