True, though for a four day trip, as long as you get it at the right ripeness I don't think any fruit would go bad in that time.

But yeah apples are a great choice, like you said they're good basically forever but also pretty easy to pack - not as easy to bruise as other fruits. Oranges also come to mind as a good travelling fruit.

Fruit can last more than a few days without being dried though.

I don't know about pasta, but cooked rice can go bad within a few hours, definitely wouldn't eat it after a few days. Unless you mean dried rice but I don't know how you'd cook it without boiling water.

Funny this comes up, I just made jerky at home for the first time a couple days ago. Much cheaper and very tasty. Easier than I was expecting too.

I think the point they were making was that someone whose home, safety, or means of income were damaged or destroyed would have a different perspective than someone who wasn't adversely affected, regardless of the big picture.

Beautifully put my friend. If you ever run for office you have my vote.

Great analysis! Once again I see it differently but it's always cool to hear other perspectives.

I would agree that the protagonist's journey is often a primary part of a good film, but it's far from always the primary part of a good film. To me Evelyn and her arc filled a role closer to Nick(?) in The Great Gatsby, or Will Turner in Pirates of the Caribbean, or whats-his-face (the main guy, not Fred Rogers) from A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood. They're the focal point of the story and are what drive it forward, but even though they have the most screentime the most interesting thing about them is their interaction with a 'side' character as a foil. While everything you describe regarding Evelyn and trying to support someone you care about are undoubtedly significant parts of the movie, they're not what make the movie stand out to me, and not what I would use to describe the 'point' of it.

Like you said, Joy and Evelyn wrestling with similar issues creates a great dynamic, where each offer different perspectives and challenges to the other. Where it sounds like you found Joy and her role in the movie to be more of a support in the main story of Evelyn's journey, to me Evelyn's side of things was more the lens through which to view the central story of the everything bagel. I see Evelyn's progression as being metaphor for how depression and nihilism creep in. Every part of her journey is another way you keep trying to fight it off, either internally or as help from loved ones, but things keep escalating no matter what you do until you end up at the bagel. The everything bagel's appearance and the Joy/Jobu reveal is the realization of what's been happening. From there it's less about the characters and more just the fundamental fight between the parts of us that can see a way of existing in the world and the parts of us that can't, whether those parts come from within or from loved ones.

To be clear I'm not trying to imply what you wrote is wrong in any way; I just thought it was interesting how, if I was asked to describe the movie's point, I would have given an answer more about the overall story and bagel-adjacent stuff than Evelyn's character arc. Our own experiences with the subject matter of the movie no doubt color our interpretations of what parts seem more 'important' than others. We can both be right :)

They're about as good as you could expect from a major cloud storage provider. In theory the encryption means that Mega can't access your files, but they're expressly very cooperative with government agencies so don't bet on anything you put there being entirely secure. I haven't heard of any major problems with them though - it's what I've been using for cloud storage the past few years and I haven't had an issue. As long as files aren't shared and therefor at risk of being reported there's not much to worry about, though in the case of things getting reported it's a 'take down first, ask questions later' type deal.

Here's a transparency report from them (how much to trust it is up to you): https://blog.mega.io/mega-transparency-report-2021/

That's beautiful, thanks for sharing. People like you and the judge, who will go against the grain to do the right thing, are what let me hope that we as a species might someday be able to get our shit together.

Thanks for making it a nicer place for everyone!

Interesting, my main takeaways aren't quite the same as yours! I can see what you describe too, but I would have summarized it very differently. I didn't see Evelyn's character growth and internal acceptance as a primary part of the film so much as a necessary story step in becoming the philosophical foil of Joy. I'm guessing Joy's arc is what you mean by the other really heavy point.

One thing I've noticed with this movie is that people experience it in very different ways, it resonates with a lot of people but there's a lot of variation in what exactly they get from it and how they interpret its message. It's really impressive how they were able to make it as universally enjoyable as they did, bringing together so many different themes coherently.

Now that I've lived near the ocean for a few years I think I'd be pretty bummed living somewhere away from the coast, but it seems like everyone's realizing how nice it is lol. At this point I'm not opposed to leaving the US if all the chill places with low cost of living keep disappearing here.

I need to get up at like four tomorrow so I'm gonna smoke a bit and try to get some sleep, gnight man!

Yeah, I know I'm really in no place to complain considering I'm a transplant too, but even in just the few years I've been here I've seen the changes. Apartments where there used to be a neighborhood, down to earth local businesses closing to make way for generic northeast-esque city stuff. I moved here with my family when I was still in high school, and I like it, but I'm pretty settled on leaving before I settle down here permanently. Hard to say where to though.

Lmao you're not wrong, though I'm surprised you're still alive - and a little impressed. You've been around here a while, what do you think of the area now compared to then? I haven't been here long.

That does sound fun. I used to live real close to downtown, within staggering distance, though sadly I'm a bit too far west for that now.

I like him, didn't know he was in town. Sucks that it rained but at least there was rain lol, my plants are only barely recovering from the drought. Much better than earlier this year but still pretty dang dry.

Oh I think I've walked by there, it's next to that bar with the rooftop patio right? Who'd you see?

That's awesome! I haven't been to any in the area yet. What kind of music you like?

Oh neat, I'm over in St Pete. Hey neighbor o/
