Mr. Fantasy
8/8 seemed like a good day to dose.
I found it's worth rewatching, the movie stands up to the test of time. I feel like it's one of those great fictional stories that speaks about greater truths about human nature. As dark as it is, there's something so beautiful and deep running about humanity pushing on in the worst circumstances and pushing the new generation forward. Especially if you have kids of your own now, it's a different perspective.Weird coincidence, just yesterday I was talking about that movie. I also watched it with my dad, we went to the cinema when it had just come out. Never watched it again since then (it's been a while).
How's everyone? I have been mostly away from the forums this last couple of months, moved to Europe recently for career related reasons, and have been consumed by all the necessary arrangements. Lot's of stuff to do, but also so much to learn and explore. It's been intense, but so much fun so far.
Never heard of that one, sounds like a familiar theme to The Road, and Children of Men. Children of Men was another good one.Very dark movie indeed. Light of My Life is a remarkably similar movie, but focuses more on the parent/child relationship. It's about a father trying to guide and protect his daughter in an apocalyptic world, society collapsed after a virus killed all women on earth.
The book is great- kind of abstract but truly haunting. Apparently the late Cormac McCarthy based much of the dialogue from conversations he had with his young son.I just rewatched The Road. Damn that movie is gutting. The first time I watched it with my Dad and he was semi-choked at me for making him watch it. Now that I'm a father myself it's even more gutting and more true. I don't know if I could watch it with my own sons. Not sure I could handle the book either.
Is it worth reading, if you've seen the movie a couple times already?The book is great- kind of abstract but truly haunting. Apparently the late Cormac McCarthy based much of the dialogue from conversations he had with his young son.
It's mostly gen z kids there. I can't relate.Discord? I haven't checked it out, but Bluelight has a discord.
I think it is. I read if after watching and it made a subsequent rewatch even more powerful. Bear in mind, McCarthy has a weird writing style, uses very little punctuation and it can make reading his stuff a struggle. But honestly worth the effort. As I recall, the final page or so is poetically haunting. Hold out until then at leastIs it worth reading, if you've seen the movie a couple times already?
Any other good Cormac McCarthy books to recommend?
Ready to give FXE a try. I'm a cautious disso user so it might be a while before i get around to it.
I'm expecting pretty much a hybrid of K and DMXE/MXE.
Quality looks good. Similar to K but fluffy/downy and more transparent.
Its some really good stuff, mine comes mainly in rocks generally but when i break it down thats how it looks. Deff feels like MXE a bit but its speedier and a little more Ketamine like. Its much warmer then K tho and more psychedelic.
The holes on it are just breathtaking, espesially when you use it with n20 while your peaking. Those are some of the most intense disso trips ive ever had. So glad they made this one, its great having such a quality disso available cheaply like this. Hope you enjoy it, im sure you will.
I'm glad you wrote a proposal articulating what you wanted your role to look like. Their need for leadership ≠ your need for fulfillment and job satisfaction. I appreciate the importance of being the person positioned to solve problems and steer strategy, but isn't that usually more of an executive or consulting role, not a management one?Hey y'all, been so busy. It feels weird being out of the loop. Got a lot going on with work, looking to head up continuous process improvement across the entire company, I'd have every division reporting to me. This is my suggestion as an alternative to taking over one division and demoting my old boss, which I think would be a big mistake on many levels and also would feel morally wrong, but that's what I was offered. I wrote up a 5 page proposal stating exactly why I think I should do the other thing instead, and outlining my plan for how to make it happen. I just sent it this afternoon, so we'll see what happens.
Funny thing is, I really just want to be a software developer, which is what I'm doing now... but there is going to be a massive dearth of people who are prepared to be leaders in the next 5-7 years when most of senior management retires, and the president told me he sees me as the best candidate and the only one with a really comprehensive vision for how to move the company forward. I just don't want to get stuck in administrative hell, but I do want to implement my ideas.
