Except for Venus flytraps that FUCKING DIE no matter how well you're taking care of them. Ugh!
I've had two so far, and both were growing fine for a couple of months and then suddenly died ;_;

Ooh I haven't seen that movie, thanks for the recommendation! While we're at recommendations, I did quite enjoy listening to the audiobook version by Librivox. Not all the narrators are good, but the ones that matter (ie. Victor and the Creature) are brilliant. You really get sucked into the plot when they narrate it.

Well he's had some controversial takes but I wouldn't lump him in with the tiki torch idiots, from what I've seen of him anyway. Could you perhaps share a clip of him screaming about white replacement?
While we're at it I strongly recommend watching him get obliterated by Matt Dillahunty. It's a good debate and shows that his biblical morality stuff is mostly academic word salad. I do like his self improvement stuff, I gotta admit. But his phenomenology is lacking imo.

(Warning: Mild spoilers for the book! Btw I recommend y'all read it, it's really good.)
That's actually kinda the point, in the book Victor Frankenstein studies the writings of alchemists like Agrippa or Flamel instead of his contemporary (ie. 18th century) science. Everyone tells him those writings are outdated but he's fascinated by them and their quest to unlock the secrets of life, and thus creates the Creature. He gives him beautiful features, but as soon as the Creature opens his eyes, Victor becomes disgusted and afraid because, well, he looks like a living corpse. The story is tragic and beautiful and not at all like our pop culture understanding of Frankenstein.

Yup, this thing was part of the "Singing Revolution", a series of protests and festivals where people would sing folk songs to push against the russification of their countries. In other words, these guys defeated the USSR by singing songs and holding hands. Mad respect.

What's this about basic hygiene? I don't follow the latest internet news because I don't want to lose my mind yet but I'm curious about this one.

Water. Earth. Fire. Air.
Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked.
Only the Avatar, master of all four elements , could stop them. But when the world needed him most, he vanished.
A hundred years passed and my brother and I discovered the new Avatar, an airbender named Aang, and although his airbending skills are great, he still has a lot to learn before he's ready to save anyone.
But I believe Aang can save the world.

I pretty much agree with everything you wrote. Renewable energy became a big hit but it's debatable whether it's even able to produce enough to cover the manufacturing and maintenance costs (I'm talking both monetary and environmental – the metals don't mine themselves). Greenwashing has infiltrated many industries, from energy and transportation (*cough* Tesla *cough*) to cosmetics and fashion, but upon deeper investigations a lot of those business aren't very green at all.
I also agree that nuclear seems like the best option right now. That said, don't you think that solar or wind can, with more research and technological advancement, become viable? I don't have the education and experience you do so I'm just wondering. A 100 years ago it seemed utterly impossible that we could create a powerful computer that would fit in our hand, but we did, and the progress was rapid. Can there even be such a leap in this field?

I'm wondering about the context here because the quote seems both really obvious and vague enough to interpret almost anything from it. We talking media figures, politicians, social media, or just irl arseholes in general?
