abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz it is! And I’ll use it for everything!

You’re using all 3 of the shells, right?

True, but they can’t literally stop a law happening until it is written to suit them. Figuratively, maybe through influence, pressure, money, etc - but not as an official, formal thing.

Given the way the US has been recently, I’m willing to admit that there may be some benefit to having a leader in some position of power that had been there a long time, and has, more or less, been training for the responsibly since birth.

That’s an argument I’ve often heard, in favour of monarchy - “Would you prefer a President Blair/Johnson/Farage?”

It’s a fair point, but they never have an answer for what would happen with a King Blair/Johnson/Farage.

With a president (or any other democratic system) you can, at least in theory, have a say in who represents the country. As it is we in the UK are stuck with a mind-meltingly wealthy, influential and unaccountable family who have extremely questionable members and histories.

They influence laws to benefit their own ends, they shield abusive behaviour and individuals, and they do it all in the name of maintaining a tradition that fundamentally says that some people are simply “better” than others.

Monarchy is just repugnant to me - and not just the British Monarchy, the whole concept.

like Kanye’s Heil Hitler

Wait, what??? I thought this was a joke, so I just looked it up. I have no words…

suddenly find Aragorn a heartless wannabe totalitarian ruler in the middle of a bitter divorce with Arwen. There would also be silly gags where he drunkenly shatters Andúril trying to cut a melon or something, and the kids absolutely loathe him because dysfunctional interpersonal drama is trendy.

This is hilariously horrifying to imagine! 😁

Quite a few MST3K films have a decent premise IMO, but lacked either the budget or the talent to make enough of them.

Eg Time Chasers (which isn’t really all that bad), The Skydivers, Moon Zero Two, Rocket Attack USA, Stranded in Space, and perhaps even Manos: The Hands of Fate.

With the right people, I think those and others could have been very decent movies.

I love Rian Johnson’s other work, especially Brick and Knifes Out.

I also love Star Wars.

I thought TLJ was dreadful though. He was just a really bad fit for it IMO. Has nothing to do with not being open to change, but it has to be the right change. “Can you hear me now?” gags and Luke casually tossing away an item that had been set up as important in the previous film were not the right changes.

Agreed, it was a big letdown unfortunately, compared to any of the other versions (including the text adventure!)

Shame, because Martin Freeman was perfect for Arthur, and Stephen Fry as the voice of the Guide was a great choice too. Though Mos Def was ok as Ford, although not on a par with David Dickson (TV) or Geoffrey McGivern (radio).

Zaphod and Trillian weren’t right at all though IMO.

I very much enjoyed Force Awakens and Rise of Skywalker. Last Jedi was painfully bad IMO. I like those other two much more than any of the prequels, true to Lucas’ vision or not.

But, it doesn’t really matter what anyone else thinks, if you want to watch them then do. And if you do, and you like them, then all good. And if you do watch them, but don’t like them, also all good. And if you decide not to watch them, also also all good.

Life’s too short to worry about a bunch of movies.

I think it depends what the button function is - if it’s to go to the social channel of the business whose website you’re on, I agree the Contact Us page is the place for them.

However I think OP is talking about the type that is intended to share the current webpage onto the user’s own socials. That wouldn’t fit on Contact Us, except to share the contact us page :-)

Agreed about designers doing what everyone else does, but I’d add to that, that it may be client-driven - a lot of clients I’ve worked with see these things on other sites and so assume that they need them too. Even if the designer wanted to remove them, the client would likely insist 😁

Always preferred Hartbeat to Art Attack. Buchanan was just a bit creepy. Plus, no Morph.

Also, was there not a story that those jumpers NB wore cost about £300 or something?

How about Heineken?

Living: David Attenborough

Dead: Marilyn Monroe

Fictional: Ford Prefect

And an idea I could absolutely see Musk hoping to copy, turning Twitter into a US version of WeChat.

Completely agree. It’s really frustrating, not to mention pretty off-putting regarding Linux.

Because every conversation on here that involves Windows will ALWAYS end up with someone saying, “Use Linux”.

According to Google image search those are Molly White, and Garbage Day by Adam Bumas. Just in case anyone wonders :-)

Oooooh, oobidoo!
I wanna be like you-oo-oo!
I wanna walk like you!
Talk like you!
Scoo-doo-bidoo!

Not sure, but I was once (un?)fortunate enough to witness what happens when a bear was faced with an orangutan.
