Disney, The Serpent Swallows its Own Tail?

[sus]

my wife rents out her old "one bedroom" place that she owns on 14th between B&C, across from Sty Town, for around $1,900, will let you know if it becomes available. as long as you don't mind the shower in the kitchen.

No shit. I knew places like that existed, but have heard they get passed around on word-of-mouth more than anything... Please do let me know!

an issue for a lot of people with living here (or, I'd imagine, London) now is how cultural institutions and social life will make out. If lots of museums, galleries, music venues, great small bars and restaurants can't afford to weather the COVID storm and close, then what makes living here any different from...I dunno, Raleigh/Durham or San Diego? Particularly when you might be luck enough to be able to work remotely, what's the incentive to stay here with a much higher cost of living and likelihood of another fast-spreading virus?

we're remaining put, but some people won't.

Me, I'm thinking Mexico City, mayyyybe Guadalajara. You can live in good accomodations and eat well for under a grand a month; I've seen beautiful terrace'd two-beds in safe areas for $500USD. The cultural institutions there are first-class, truly... their Anthropology Museum is perhaps the best in the world, the Sumaya and Jumex are both wonderful. And quite a burgeoning punk & indie film scene I hear. Plus the weather is unbeatable.

Oh they have a special section for old beat-up gringos, leather for skin and an eighth-a-day grass habit.

Sorry for hijacking your thread version. Disney is an ouroboros confirmed.

Jeff Goldblum referencing his own meme.

It's Warner Bros. and not Disney, but the new Space Jam continues the trend.

Part of the original space jam's charm was how clearly Jordan dislikes acting. afraid Lebron is going to be too into into it

The weatherman says the weather is changing soon and it predicts a thunderstorm ⛈ ☔️ is coming. Folks prepare and take the proper caution ⚠️ ⛔️ measures to stay safe

There was also some statement that a Disney executive just made about the metaverse being the next frontier in storytelling.

 

[luka]

The question the metaverse and all similar pose is why don't we just play in the real world

 

[luka]

Ultimately there is only one game

 

[woops]

you can have infinite lives and power ups in a game

 

[luka]

sort of. but your own death ends all games nested in the big game. the end point is the same on all platforms

 

[woops]

well that's like saying that playing in the metaverse IS playing in the real world so i'm not sure what you're getting at

 

[luka]

well you must be proper thick then

 

[woops]

oh dear!

 

[woops]

why don't we all play in the real world?
cos there are aspects of the unreal world not available in the real world
but it's all part of the real world
so we are, in fact playing in the real world
YOUR THICK

 

[luka]

no your thick

 

[woops]

might have to start a poll at this rate
