Somewhat ironically given recent news about the show being cancelled it was the Wheel of Time books that were the tipping point for me getting into reading properly as like yourself until then a lot of the reading infront of me had been set for a class so I had zero motivation or enjoyment for any of it. Even then I only started the Wheel of Time books originally because I was in a uni roleplaying group and in my first year someone was running a WoT skin of D&D 3.5. The GM was a fan of the book series and had the official WoT RPG books which helped things, and was understandably upset when Jordan died since the series wasn't finished. Don't think I ever got his thoughts on how Sanderson did finishing things but for me it did then mean the introduction to Sanderson and his own works so a long and winding road through reading all because of pen and paper RPG.
Book 3 is when Rand fucks off and the story starts following others a lot more but the show was already off the rails like that. It was never going to manage doing the story justice and if we are lucky all the names tied to this disaster will be remembered for a long time.
No because it was still done with privacy in Victorian times hence the related term "privy". There's a literal world of difference between emptying a chamber pot or a similar container out into the street vs popping a squat and cutting out the middle man.
Had a similar feeling when reading that although it may be partly down to how much I utterly despised English in school because of a particular teacher being such a cunt. I would honestly rather watch woodlice run around a dish for hours than read more of that, and that's exactly what I did in my final year of high school when I no longer needed to take English as a class and instead went balls to the walls with hard sciences.
I cant wait for when china or someone invades us and it will be the womens turn to step up. They should be fine with all their drones and bombs, right?
If anti drone tech can be set up to work with a CandyCrush UI then we're good 👌
I doubt the timeline is that absurd, however.
The parks are going to keep whatever records they record from those 24 hours separate from the rest, right? And any other days like this which allow laser precision reporting, right? 🤔
Because that's how long it's going to last once solid data about specific ethnic groups behaviour is up for grabs.
Also who is working on that day? Will the makeup of whatever park rangers that work there reflect the rule and potentially lose all its staff for those 24 hours because this idea hasn't been thought through, other than to likely threaten any staff who follow the rule and don't show up thereby still resulting in the same scenario if the threat/bluff is called? 🤔

Woof, almost 14k likes on that tweet as per the embed.
Also was it 1 or 2 gunned down?
Meh, doesn't count since if he wasn't rapidly dying of cancer he wouldn't bother saying this. It's only because he's personally afflicted through his own actions he's trying for a deathbed confession.
Were he still fine would he extend the same consideration to others suffering non cancer related side effects of the totally safe and effective treatment? I doubt it.
Altered Carbon season 2 was shit for reasons other than woke, although that didn't help. Season 1 was an adaptation of book 1. Season 2 was an adaptation of both books 2 and 3 while also heavily skewing the story hard towards Falconer who apparently wasn't ever that prominent in the books, and writing Kovac in several ways that just went against what the character was meant to be.
Spoilers for how it ends: while Kovac is by no means suicidal and actively trying to die, he was still fighting against the concept of the Meths back before his original imprisonment in season 1. Season 2 all but ends with him becoming one after dying and having his stack/brain scan/soul digitally recreated by Poe.
Seeing as how his pre-story younger self also now exists because of Jaeger double sleeving him decades ago, it wasn't even needed because a version of him, albeit centuries younger from before meeting Falconer and training to become an Envoy, was alive in his original body/actor.
Yes it would have still meant the version from the books/seasons was dead, but that bittersweet victory fit with the show, and meant Kovac went out with a noble sacrifice.
Being able to bring him back again just cheapens his death, and death in general, even more.
Translating it kind of loses part of the point that the setting is yet another alternate universe Germany, just like Fullmetal Alchemist, and that the main character is called Eren Jaeger/Yeager who becomes one of the titans and flips the dynamic from prey to "hunter" since that's what his surname means in German as the chorus is:
Wir sind die Jäger
Aka, "We are the hunters"
Along with the recurring line:
Seid ihr das Essen? Nein, wir sind die Jäger!
Which translates to
Are you the prey? No, we are the hunters!
Eren unleashes the colossal titans in the 3 walls which go forth and wipe out 4/5ths of humanity. He is eventually stopped and killed by Mikasa and through magic flashbacks and memory edits done by Eren it turns out the whole thing was a Xanatos/Batman gambit set up by Eren to suicide by cop/Ackerman. This is because there was a magic parasite that was the source of the titans all the time along which could control every single titan except the Attack Titan which was the one Eren got from his father. Eren sees the future because of titan powers and in order to get rid of the magic parasite Eren commits global genocide because he knows his friends will be able to stop him and as a result end the magic parasite and titans forever.
A supplementary issue released later filled in some other details like everyone who had been turned into a colossal titan and sleeping in the walls for years all getting lynched by the survivors once all the titan powers were gone, despite the marching titans being mind controlled by Eren.
Wouldn't be surprising if it was taken down after reality caught up to the jump immediately with both feet approach many take on social media when trying to farm or generate clout to wield. I think it was a US politician who tried to paint child with cancer, and therefore bald, as skinhead because of a PR bit something was doing with them.
Ofc the ones who do this and those that support them and their tactics quickly memory holed the faux pas and went looking for the next windmill to tilt at.
Nighthawk gets worse and worse every time he shows up in later material, more so since joining the main Marvel 616 universe after Time Runs Out brought a new Squadron Supreme he was part of together, only to then ditch that team and bring yet another version in during that stupid Coulson alternate universe where the Avengers never existed.
To this day I still remember sitting in a class at uni and the topic of Mass Effect 3 coming out spiraled off into what relationship options people would be getting and how Kaiden could be gay this time 🙄 to say the ones focusing on that were stereotypical for the context would be underselling things.
