Doesn't the second coming of Christ signal the end of the world? Maybe he is more correct than you think.

Composite 2 shots maybe? You would have to be sure to map routes in and out of the scene and then make sure the action doesn't cross those routes.

Interns.

It's because some of us used to be taught that when writing a letter (like with actual paper and pen or typewriter), you should always use a formal tone. Sometimes the sign off was longer than the actual letter:
*with the most profound respect, and with assurances of my highest consideration, your most obedient, most humble, and most devoted servant,

I have the honour to subscribe myself, Sir/Madam, your faithful and dutiful correspondent,

Respectfully and with sincere esteem, Mr Test_Tickles Esquire III*

Of course I'm being a little hyperbolic there, you get the idea. Once email appeared, people just weren't going to do that shit anymore. But at the same time you don't want to see me rude or angry, so you throw on a ... to indicate all that other shit that we both know I'm supposed to write but I just don't want to, but that's cool because you don't want to read it anyways.

That's okay, don't feel too bad about it... but if you do I hear there's a potion for that.

Only if you are super poor enough to qualify, and have time and the capacity to jump through all the hoops to get one, and you live somewhere that there is a provider that has coverage, and ect, ect., then you can get a discount on your cell plan. For some people who are "lucky enough" to be super poor enough, the discount can actually be enough to make the phone essentially $0.

I once had it explained to me in a way that finally clicked:

What if beings from the 42nd dimension wanted to observe life on our planet? The problem is that they're from the 42nd dimension, so they can't just sit and "watch" us in our basic four-dimensional world. However, what they can do is stir up electrons in our atmosphere until they start a lightning storm. Then they can "observe" the lightning. It turns out that they can learn a lot from the lightning itself, but at the same time it may have some effect on life here on Earth.

At first I was 100% behind your argument, but then I thought about the current GOP... And now I am thinking maybe being raised by machines would not be bad.

Reality: Prisoners can and will be required to work as service workers from their prison cells.

Easy peasy my friend. Divide and conquer. I open all the mail, sort out the garbage from the important stuff. I throw away all the chaff and bullshit, sort that into important stuff that needs attention, and important stuff that needs to be kept track of.
I then throw the important stuff that needs to be held onto but requires no action, into a box with the year (or at least a year within the last 3 years) written on the side. And then every 5 years or so I throw away the old boxes.
At that point, what's left is just a few pages per week that I then give to my spouse so they only have a couple of things to deal with.

They then take those couple of pages and put them on top of the ever looming pile of toxic things that we will never dare to touch again.

However, this pile is strategically placed so that it can't be missed, and acts as an anxiety point that drives us to do other tasks that would normally be avoided, but now seems like a nice diversion in the shadow of "the pile".

Or at least that's the way it used to work, but now we just avoid that room completely.

How's it going Bobby? I guess the worms must get all feisty when the weather gets cold?
