King of the North, Dark Lord of All

Hear me out. Terminator needs to pull a Prey/Godzilla Minus One. The T-1000 can’t kill Sarah Connor before John is born? Send another one to kill Sarah Connor’s great grandmother. It’s the turn of the century, and a T-1000 is hunting a young adult in 1895. I’d watch that. It’s be a smaller budget, but it’d be so exciting because Great Granny Connor has to be incredibly resourceful in order to take out a beast like that.

Same thing as if a person doesn’t have a digital credit card. They use their physical one.

This is why I see it as a good thing. No more cut same-sex kisses, no more shrinking the black character on the poster. Let’s leave the CCP behind and move on without them.

Tim Walz seems like the kind of guy who does a tune up of your bike because he knows how busy you’ve been and just wants to help.

Tim Walz seems like the kind of guy who invites you over for dinner and then sends you home with the leftovers.

Tim Walz seems like the kind of guy who has an old, but still pretty great TV you can have if you want it.

Exactly. I find that I sign the back of checks and write brief sentences in birthday cards. Neither of those feel like they’ll be around for a lot longer.

Fair enough. Most people don’t encounter analog clocks anymore. And many of us have smart watches or phones where we check the time. Since I have a non-analog watch, I don’t find I ever look at analog clocks anymore. If it’s in a room, I just don’t notice it. Growing up, it was important to know, but now I just never have a use for it. Learning is important, but there are so many more interesting and useful things to learn.

You could also make an argument about automatic or manual cars. Sure, we could teach our kids how to drive manual, but why? Most cars are automatic. If they want to have a manual car, they can learn. Otherwise it’s just a useless skill.

There are fewer and fewer applications for writing, but it’s still more important than reading an analog clock.

I actually agree with you. I can read an analog clock, but what worth is the skill? Most clocks are digital, and it gives me nothing more to read an analog one. People downvoting you is just silly. Some skills are allowed to die out if they add no value in modern life.

I’m willing to bet that they’re using the same Barbie character in the same universe as what Greta and Margot created. It’s well within their rights, but it’s just a bit rude not to include them or even get their input.

Not the thing you want to do if you want their involvement in a sequel live-action movie.
