Based mainly on “Nanas”, any chance it’s a version of this? I know you said Mac, but just in case.

EDIT - also, here’s a list someone posted a link to on Reddit, with 400 or so “binary colour” games, which presumably includes black and white: https://www.uvlist.net/gamesearch/?fplat=48&fplatname=Macintosh OS Classic&ftag=binarycolor&sort=name

Couldn’t see anything under banana or monkey, but might be hiding in there somewhere.

• Salt and vinegar
• Mayonnaise
• Edinburgh chippy brown sauce (a particularly vinegary variant of regular brown)

It’s not very busy, but there’s also !Tipofmytongue@lemmy.world for this sort of thing.

Oh ok, that makes sense, thanks. Will check that out. I kind of like the idea of someone writing Revelation and adding that so that they got the final chapter! :-)

In the Bible, it says clearly that no one should make a dare to edit or correct the Bible by any words.

Not trolling here, but where does it say that?

It would have to be from a time when people were already conscious of this collection of writings being considered “The Bible”, so I’m assuming New Testament somewhere? And would any writings added after that not be considered to have flaunted that rule?

I’m not religious at all, but I’m very interested in how the Bible came to be The Bible.

Spleen

This, but also your knees.

Any body part with a double E really.

Seconded, it’s superb.

One more mention for Dark, absolutely the best thing on Netflix IMO.

Others:

• Neuvas Rienas (9 queens) - an excellent Argentinian heist/scam film with quite a cool look. Like a mix of Ocean’s Eleven (plotwise) and the Bourne films (visually).
• Intacto - interesting Spanish movie about people who are able to steal others’ luck. I could imagine Christopher Nolan doing an English language remake.
• Le Havre - fun French film about an old man helping shelter a child who is in the country illegally. Very funny.
• Akira - obviously
• Ringu - original Japanese version. Terrifying.
• Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon - quite an obvious choice, but it absolutely blew me away when it came out.
• The Killing - Danish TV show. Not seen the American remake, but the original is amazing
• Oldboy - Korean movie, as above, remade, but I’ve only seen this. I suspect this one is better!
• Godzilla Minus One - monsters! And the suffering of post WW2 Japan! Odd mix, but it works!
• 8 Femmes - very funny French murder mystery. Recently remade (pretty well) in Italian as 7 Women and a Murder.
• Duet for Cannibals - very strange Swedish film I saw recently about two couples and some strange living/working arrangements.
• Rashomon - classic Japanese movie, where we see the same event from 3 different perspectives
• Taxi - brilliant French heist/crime/driving movie, with some superb car chases

So many more, but this list is getting too long!

That link doesn’t work for me, so incase anyone has the same issue… [Project Orion](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Orion_(nuclear_propulsion\))

Trick is to add a backslash before the two closing brackets, like this:

Nice one, sounds like you’re all over it 👍

Good luck!

Indeed, but this particular sub-thread started with an OP giving advice to older people, and is now older people responding to that comment. These aren’t top level comments, so let the conversation go where it may.

As a 40+ person, I strongly agree with my young colleague here.

Listen to what you want, kids. Enjoy it. And don’t let anyone tell you you’re wrong about it.

Not one, not two, but three relevant XKCDs!

As someone else said, if you back yourself to get something else later then it could be the right move.

Only thing I’d be concerned about is the idea that they snuck the contract thing in - it would depend exactly what you mean by that, but if they were trying to conceal it from you then that might be a bad sign. If it was just a miscommunication or whatever, then hopefully all good.

Good luck, whatever you do!

PS - forgot to say that I quit a permanent job to go freelance and it’s been a big improvement in my life. I work from home, make a bit more money, and can be much more flexible. Downside is less income security, and as a result less favourable terms on things like mortgages. Also, I have been lucky that I basically get regular work from a small agency and have done for a number of years, so I rarely need to go hustling for clients.

Stage manager? I’m not one myself, but I used to work in a theatre, and those people earn their money for sure. It’s an amazing talent to keep everything running so smoothly, and it rarely gets the credit it deserves.

Ghostbusters.

Disagree, I think 2001 is perfect. Yes it’s slow, but that’s intentional, it’s part of the feeling of the film.

Modern standards don’t really apply, because I don’t think anyone nowadays is trying to do what Kubrick was, nor (obviously) was he trying to live up to any standards of future movie making.

Each to their own of course, but wanted to put a friendly counterpoint :-)

Preference.

Who cares if people call it “woke”? The kind of people who would get themselves in a tizzy over that sort of thing aren’t worth bothering about, and they certainly shouldn’t be pandered to.

If you have a story to tell, and characters to present, then tell it and present them your way, no matter what others think. Be true to your own creative instincts, and be judged on them, rather than trying to fit what others will accept.
