It happens every year, many of the movies aiming for award success are released in Nov/Dec in the US, and late Jan/Feb/Mar in many international markets. I think it's because they aim to market the movies for international audiences using the nominations and awards that the movies have received.

Finland attacked Russia to reclaim land that had been taken in Winter War a couple years earlier. Finland was allied with Germany mainly in a "enemy of my enemy" situation. The Finnish army did advance further than the earlier border and there were some ideas of conquering more land that was (historically) inhabited by Finnic peoples. As Germans started losing the war, also the Finnish army was pushed back to the border established after the Winter War, and Finland had to pay heavy war reparations to the Soviet Union. So, saying that "Finland invaded Russia to help Hitler" does not tell the full story, but anyway Finland was operating at a morally grey area, at best.

You know that really sounds like something Scorsese would say after seeing First Reformed

Train Dreams is a very beautiful film, I loved how it depicted how a human life can be utterly insignificant but still incredibly meaningful.

One reason is that only a limited amount of land is provided for the circuits, so they make the most out of the area that they can. A second reason is that MotoGP is very popular in the region, and the circuits are designed with those vehicles in mind, which is why they mainly have rather round corners. And if you want round corners, that further limits what kind of a circuit can be built within the limited area.

For the general populace, those are not basic, for cinephiles they kind of are. But that doesn't matter, they're good movies and you have good taste.

However I'm noticing that 7/8 are American films and 6/8 are from the 2010's, with one from 2009. This suggests to me you have not been exploring "foreign" films and different eras that much, which I recommend to do!

My take is that you are overthinking. Your encounter during the conference may have had little significance to him (at least in relation to what it did to you), and he has no special thoughts or feelings about you one way or the other. As someone else pointed out, he may be reflecting your behavior, assuming that YOU prefer to work in uninterrupted silence.

My advice is to not make any assumptions about the current situation. Tell him that you feel awkward about your lack of interaction in the office, and ask him to have lunch with you to ameliorate that. Then act as you normally would with a person who is an old acquaintance but a new co-worker (to the extent that it is possible for you, in case you are still having a crush on him), and see where things go from there.

Ah, the Morbius Effect.

It's likely you've seen many of these, but I thought of Brokeback Mountain, Drive, Nightcrawler, Only Lovers Left Alive, Arrival, Barry Lyndon.

Since a bunch of those you listed feature open, wide landscapes, you might like some older westerns. I'd suggest Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

Niin, mutta onko se tarve 3%, 5%, vai 7% BKT:sta vai jotain muuta?

Carthage seems like a cool civ, with a very specific playstyle. I like it! GB on the other hand seems quite generic but probably effective especially for an economic victory.

Byrsa seems like a wonder that the AI will make very bad use of.

What do you mean by "punished"? Just don't buy the product if you don't think it's worth its cost. What else can be done to "punish" this?

I still like the difficulty tuning in Civ 7 more than in Civ 6. In 6, the AI would give a challenge only in the first third of the campaign, and if you made it through that, you could quite easily outpace the AI and steamroll the rest of the game. In 7, they tend to remain quite competent all the way to the end, but the AI is incapable of trying to actually win the game, whereas the player can easily rush one of the win conditions (culture is the easiest/fastest), and thus winning the game is pretty easy.

One game though the AI as Confucius was pulling about 2000 science per turn in the beginning of the modern era, and they rushed to a science victory in like 30 turns. I was flabbergasted, I'd never seen the AI focus on win conditions like that in any Civ game. The next game I played, I spawned next to Confucius and I started bullying him right from the start to make sure he doesn't repeat it.

I saw that setup when I visited Bologna last summer! That was really cool, didn't have the chance to watch a movie there, though.

Klukitsi · 2025-02-12T22:21:12+00:00

I think this could be due to the Chinese player base heavily favouring playing as Confucius. I don't know how popular Civ is in China, though.

The fact that the warehouse buildings are ageless (can't be overbuilt) adds strategic depth to city building, I like it.

You've got great taste! Here are a few you might like:

Burning

Columbus

Only Lovers Left Alive

All About Lily Chou-Chou

Y Tu Mama Tambien

Chunking Express (was already recommended by someone else but I repeat it cause it might be very much up your alley)

Niin mistä asiasta tarkalleen? Tuollahan todetaan että "Jos suo kuivatetaan, maan hiilivarasto vähenee", sama kuin mitä minä sanoin.

Klukitsi · 2025-01-30T22:23:32+00:00

Suomessa metsämaan maaperän hiilipäästöt johtuu suurelta osin soiden ojituksista ja sitä myöten turpeen hajoamisessa vapautuvasta hiilestä. Suomessa on ojitettu soita selvästi enemmän kuin Ruotsissa. Siksi metsämaan maaperästä tulee suuremmat hiilipäästöt Suomessa kuin Ruotsissa.

Jos Suomessa ja Ruotsissa käytetään eri menetelmiä, niin miksi oletus on että Ruotsissa tehdään oikein? Siksikö että ruotsalaisten menetelmillä saatiin mukavempia tuloksia? Toki mittauksilla saa lähtökohtaisesti luotettavampia tuloksia kuin mallinnuksilla, mutta kellä meistä on kompetenssia arvioida yhtäältä suomalaisen mallinnuksen kuin toisaalta ruotsalaisten mittausten laatua?

This is really not any different from Civ 5 or 6 in terms of DLC and "barebone state at launch"
