Eh, to each their own. I liked it. I also liked the different pacing than the movie. It made more sense.

I recommended The Painted Man, which I had just read and thought was pretty good. A friend of mine read it (and liked it) and, contrary to my fate, proceeded to continue the series. Next time I saw him he was fairly mad at me, stating the the series took a sharp downturn in quality after the first one. After this I haven't been able to get him to read any other books, despite the one I actually recommended being fairly good. So in a way, this was me recommending a really bad book. Which just happened to be good.

Yeah, it's not that easy with social media. If half the children in class use it, the pressure on the other half is immense. One more, one more. If no one uses it, it's much easier to say no and not feel like a douchy parent.

I have personally experienced librarians and they have helped me when in need.

Oh, I've seen some doozies... The one I remember the most, and I've seen this twice, is this:

myClass.TheProperty = myClass.TheProperty;

When I asked about it, the developer said that, well yes, because it reads from one place and sets in another! Not at all difficult to read!

AFAIK it's not covered either, but you can of course do it at your own expense.

In Denmark we don't vaccinate for chicken pox for exactly the reasons given in the post.

Just a few old ones...

Art of Noise - The Best Of .. but all are good

Yellow - Pocket Universe .. but also The Essential

Moloko - ?

Kosheen - Kokopelli (I think)

I bet with this achievement fusion energy is only a decade away! As always.

Yeah, but there's this one guy who keeps fixing everything.

Not smug, just tired.

But yes, I get it. That's the reason why this is so frustrating. At this point gaslighting has become synonymous with deceiving. Because people who use the word don't know the (original) meaning!
