Elon Musk immigrated from South Africa to the US, so I can think of at least one thing that made things distinctly worse in the US at least.

Believe it or not, muscle memory is one of the first things you forget as soon as you leave Narnia. For example, Lucy learns how to swim in Narnia, but when she goes back to England, she instantly forgets. No muscle memory, nothing, it’s all fresh. The same applies to skills like swordsmanship, archery etc. You won’t remember how to do any of that when you leave, but you will if you come back.

From a storytelling perspective (and arguably Aslan’s perspective), Narnia pulls in people that need to learn a life lesson and are needed for something in Narnia. Aslan doesn’t let you keep everything you gained while there, he only lets you retain information he deems important to your life on Earth… Because despite being literally Jesus, Aslan is a bit of a dickhead sometimes.

So there’s a few problems with that plan:

1. If you leave Narnia, you will eventually forget Narnia. First it’s like a dream, then a dream of a dream, and then you just completely forget ever having gone.

2. The same applies in reverse. You will eventually forget Earth and spend your time in Narnia instead.

3. You can’t go to Narnia without Aslan taking you there. The Professor, who was infact one of the entities present at the creation of Narnia, tells the Pevensies that they won’t be getting back to Narnia through the wardrobe again.

4. Even if you could pass through to Narnia on command, there is a varying degree of time dilation between Narnia and Earth. The entirety of Narnia’s 2,555 year existence is compressed into 50 years on Earth, but the first 1000 years of that existence was compressed into the first 40 years of the timeline, and the remaining 1,555 was in that final 10 years. Also, you can spend 10 minutes in Narnia and end up having been gone for weeks on Earth, so the time dilation goes both way and is pretty inconsistent then too.

That’s a wildly optimistic take. ICE will kill you, whether you’re obeying them or not.

Anyone who complains about code not compiling on the first try likely hasn’t been coding for very long. Getting your code to do what you tell it is easy, getting it to do what you want is hard.

I doubt it’s even still there. I wouldn’t put it past Trump to have stolen it years back, but it was all kept hush hush.

Me when I buy a bunch of computer parts because my PC is dying and I know for a fact that the prices for components are only gonna get worse. Nearly £2000 down the drain and that’s not even including the GPU!

The nipples are actually tiny shield generators.

I wouldn’t call her entrepreneurially minded. She fully intended just to make a single coat and keep it herself. If she were intending on making it a business, she should have been setting up a Dalmatian farm with the 101 puppies and then mass produce the coats. Inbreeding health defects don’t matter all that much when you’re just gonna be skinning any puppies born within weeks.

The discussion should be simple: “You are not having Greenland. If you try to take it, the snow will be red with American blood, and the next guy who tries to shoot you at one of your rallies won’t miss”

Do it. It’s obvious at this point that Twitter is being used as a means of political influence over the UK. Ban it until they comply with the law, and if the US retaliates by blocking British officials, ban Twitter permanently and flag Elon Musk as an enemy and seize his British assets.

Well… Kinda depends on what you mean by ‘neighbour’. For a time, the natives were neighbours to the Canadians, and they didn’t exactly have the best of times with their new neighbours.

Unless it’s like… Sociology, or Psychology. They care what you believe.

You’d think IT would be able to look at the team and job title and skip the script though, or even just read the description of the ticket.

I wish that applied in my workplace, where the IT staff treat you like a regular user every single time and go through their little scripts when you’re clearly telling them what the actual issue is, you just don’t have permissions to fix it.

For example, when debugging containerised .net applications through Visual Studio and Docker Desktop on a Windows system, there’s a Powershell script called GetVsDebug which gets you the files you need to debug, since they aren’t included in the installation by default. Normally, if you have admin rights on the machine, it’ll just run that script quietly, get the files and you’re set. In my workplace, Powershell scripts are banned from running from anything that doesn’t have admin rights, including Visual Studio, so it was failing to run every single time.

IT told me to restart my PC, asking me what Visual Studio was, asking me to get a link to it on the Company Portal, trying to get my to re-install it. They even offered to get a new Laptop when I was outright telling them, “None of that is going to work. The issue is that this software doesn’t have the permissions to run powershell scripts”, but nooooope… In the end I just went looking for the script and ran it manually using my own admin privileges and from now on I only ask IT to do something if it is literally impossible for me to do it myself. Other devs are going to have the exact same issue in the future but I’m not going into that mess again.

I want to enjoy Idiocracy, but there’s this undercurrent of eugenics in there that I’m not ever so fond of…

Well he’s hardly gonna take a trip across the Atlantic to solve your problem for you, is he?

My dad has a pretty straightforward approach to Americans these days: They’re the enemy. Every single adult US Citizen is the enemy, no matter what side of the political spectrum. Americans have the power, they have their precious 2nd Amendment to get rid of Trump, but choose not to use it. By not doing anything, they’re complicit.

Tiny bit overboard if you ask me, but I can definitely understand calling for disassociation with the US, pulling all critical systems away from US companies. I would also suggest threatening to stop respecting all US copyrights just as a middle finger. It’s now completely legal to steal any intellectual property from an American company. Distribute official cracks for Adobe Creative Suite, why not?

The exception being Hugh Grant. He went from heart throb in the 90s and 00s to a kind of elderly villain archetype. I wouldn’t call him particularly handsome these days, and while I wouldn’t say he’s aged like milk, he’s certainly not a silver fox.

Despite not being washed up, he’s very good at looking as if he’s washed up.

Nah, angels appear in different forms depending on how high they are in the hierarchy. Seraphim, Cherubim and Thrones all look distinctly non-human, and they don’t appear to humans often. Angels, Archangels and Principalities appear to humans quite often, so they all look like humans, just with wings.

Dominions, Virtues and Powers are somewhere inbetween so they look human, but not quite.
