Nah, just go watch the movie. It's very funny.

And when they stop being profitable (by not producing top-quality wool as they age), they do get slaughtered for meat.

Imagine if Hitler had won. That's what happened in Spain. Francisco Franco governed for 40 years, till he was too old and sick to keep doing so. He never faced any consequences and died of old age.

During all those years he indoctrinated the new generations and set a precedent, culturally. So even though more than a hundred thousand people suffered and died under his dictatorship, he still has a lot of supporters that are very vocal about it and his influence still permeates spanish society nowadays. You could look up "franquismo cultural" if you're interested.

I remember a dream I had while I was sleeping on a plane. I was with two other women and one of them was holding a little dog (similar to a pomeranian). They were talking normally, but I noticed the dog glaring at me with his abnormally huge, ice cold eyes. I can't accurately describe the evilness and intense hate I saw in that stare, but it was out of this world. The dog jumped at me and bit my wrist and I started screaming. Then the sound of the plane engines gradually overlapped my screams, until I jolted awake with a nosebleed.

I had a nose surgery not long ago at that time, so it was not uncommon for me to occasionally get nosebleeds. However I still remember those evil eyes very vividly to this day.

Outer Wilds. It's better to play it without knowing much beforehand. All I'm gonna say is: it will make you feel very lonely and even vulnerable at times, although it's not a horror game by any means. It's a beautiful videogame with a mind-blowing story.

I stayed at a hotel that had one and tried it out. Just out of curiosity.

I bought one immediately after coming back home.
