General Discussion

I really like that idea. Environmental stuff is important.

I've been absent here for too long, most recently because of the stress of the holiday season, and one of the ways I've been staying sane is watching lots of movies. Would anyone be interested in some kind of a group thing around that? I know a lot of communities do movie nights where everyone watches or streams something together and talks about it, and I've also seen it done in more of a book club style where people watch on their own time and reply back with discussion when they've collected their thoughts. Either could be fun.

I'm up to trying that idea, Natalie. I think it could be pretty cool to have a movie night. My experiences with that kind of thing in the past has been a little disappointing because it's hard to get everyone in one place at the same time, but I'd still be up to try it out I think.

I'm striking out horror movies, teeheeeeee, but what other movies could we watch? I'm thinking cheesy crap.

I've been hearing so much about ecosia, maybe with a link I might actually try it out xD

[Natalie]

The issues with coordination are why I somewhat prefer the asynchronous format, so it's not forced to work around everybody's schedules or otherwise leave them out. I'd be up for pretty much anything that's not horror, but I don't know how we'd decide on something.

I would definitely be happy to open up the white noise faucet for my stream of consciousness when I've consumed some random media.

[Emily]

I agree, I think this could be a lot of fun, depending on the movies we watch :)

I'd rather not watch horror or anything overly violent, those things just aren't really for me.

Emily's now done the stupidest thing that she has probably done on NationStates in a year

[Luca]

[Emily]

GOOD

Now presently winning in the battle royale is Bill Gates, but with spider legs, vs. Queen Elizabeth and her army of portraitures. A second and equally enthralling matchup is forming in second place for Vanessa Carlton's sentient and self-driving piano, versus Meryl Streep with no additional powers.

[Rea]

Why do I think the sentient piano and Streep would get along rather than fight, though??

[Copyn]

honestly idk most of these people but I believe in our boy formosus :cthulhu:

[Natalie]

It just snowed? for like five minutes, but instead of snowflakes it was tiny solid white orbs. Like hail, but softer and falling slower. They're now melting away.

How's everyone else's day going?

[Luca]

It's been snowing for about two and a half days now, but it's light and nothing crazy. My computer parts were delayed but hooopefully everything will get here today anyway. Also actual internet instead of my phone, I hope I hope.

[Copyn]

Nat your snow kinda reminds me of frozen rain, but...not
frozen snow?

My day's goin pretty good cuz I'm gettin even better at rollerbladin' and my language studyin' is goin good

[Emily]

I believe in spiders on rollerblades!

Here are a few pictures of our snow.

That snow looks really nice! :cthulhu:
we just have coldness and rain here :c
well not that much rain but it definitely ain't snow

[Natalie]

That looks so pretty! I wish we got that kind of weather here. We're lucky if we get one real snowfall a year.

I have only been rollerblading one time in my life. And it was a true horror.

[Copyn]

it took me a lot of practice just to stand up on carpet! let alone on a smooth surface
it honestly takes a ton of getting used to

unless you're like an ice skater or somethin I guess
