When they're UFOs from the vehicle pool they're flying saucers. Proper UFOs have to be extraterrestrial or Soviet. Nazi UFOs count but foo fighters are all foo fighters regardless of nationality.
I discovered in my midlife that I had a lot of potential careers I'd be good at, which was completely different than the careers I wanted as a kid.
I really wanted to be an astronaut, and my dad was actually in the space program during and after the Apollo program. But my field independence sucks and I'm prone to motion sickness, so no space travel for me.
On the other hand, I'm awesome at research and connecting seemingly unrelated facts, so I could have been a brilliant CIA analyst. I suck at languages, though, which is a requirement for entry.
Both men were incarcerated in Landsberg Prison, where Hitler soon began work on his memoir, Mein Kampf ("My Struggle"), which he dictated to fellow prisoners Hess and Emil Maurice. --Wikipedia on Rudolph Heß
You got it right. My reference was a past read of The Devil's Disciples: Hitler's Inner Circle by Anthony Read, and I forgot which specific dude was at the typewriter.
Oh it's worse. I read the book and it was very sad. And the movie was clearly changed from the book for sake of IP laws, reminding us of how sorry our own dystopia is.
It really needed an Oh Brother Where Art Thou ending where Wade and the gang fail to win but get well-off enough from their exploits and are seen by the public as leaders of the revolution against IOI's monopoly, and the capitalist system as a whole.
One of IOI's sixes gets the final key but when he signs the contract, it locks him out. The OASIS controlling stock remains in escrow pending ?????? with IOI as the default benefactor when... something future undisclosed event happens.
Which would set it all up for RP2.
It's one of those books like the Harry Potter series in which it feels more like it was intended to be easy-to-market, but is not very strong as a story.
Curiously, the masculine values I was taught as a kid and young adult would turn into simply adulting in the 21st century: Taking responsibility for essential business and duties (even if they're not designated as mine) Paying bills on time (or negotiating to not lose utility service); keeping conflicts civil, not retaliating harmfully over petty grievances. (I am a good ex and take pride in it.)
Values like these were common in the 70s and 80s during the cold war, that use of force was only done after deliberation and all alternatives were exhausted.
Curiously, that these were masculine values implied they weren't feminine values, that women were implied not to be capable or expected of upholding this code of conduct... except when I was a kid, there were too many examples of women who could and did. And yeah, by the aughts everyone not a politician or an aristocrat was expected to adult and was penalized when they didn't.
And in the 2020s our masculine role models are Donald Trump, Matt Walsh, Joe Rogan, Ben Shapiro, etc. who conduct themselves the opposite of these ideals. Also there's valid concern that Trump might order a nuclear strike if provoked.
Now even as a kid I didn't feel particularly driven to express my masculinity and was for a while a gender abolitionist, seeing an ideal world where it didn't matter except to partners and intimates.
But then in the trans community, there are people who really like being a woman / being a man and expressing that identity outwarldly. Gender expression and representation are super important to them the way it's not at all to me.
So I'm happy to be enby, not only retaining the values I grew up with, but recognizing they suit anyone, not just guys.
Yes, it was known to be impenetrable in the German Reich, but Germans thought it looked nice on their shelves and would occasionally read a two-sentence passage from it. Giggling optional.
Hitler wrote it by pacing up and down in his prison cell ranting while Goebbels Rudolph Heß took notes (or recorded it, but I don't remember if he had a tape recorder, and didn't have a steganographer AFAIK. So yeah it smacks of radicalized old man ramblings much like Trump's rally speeches.
FYI: That is statistically not good for you or your boss. People who take lunches and breaks (even when forced to) are more productive than those who don't (on average) enough to offset lost time.
Also you should check social media and connect with loved ones between tasks to maximize your morale and productivity.
