Watching the Brak Show feels like smoking weed to me, but I’m completely sober. Except for when I’m high.

Sorry, yeah Chuck Palahniuk. Same guy who wrote Fight Club.
I think a creative filmmaker could play with that. View the same scene from multiple perspectives, show characters (and the audience) making assumptions and drawing conclusions because they don’t have the full story. Maybe you never fully reveal what is actually happening, and let the audience fill in the gaps.
The narrative itself might not be enough to draw out a full mystery, but maybe you delve into the backstory and the supernatural elements at play a bit more. Or maybe it’s all drug induced, from the art to the mass hysteria. Maybe the townspeople assign meaning to chaos, and their faith is tested when things don’t go to plan.
But you have several interesting characters to explore, none of whom ever have all the information they need to understand everything.
Diary. What you don’t understand you can make mean anything.
… As was foretold by the prophecy.
And there was much rejoicing. (yaay)
Go to the landlord and provide your account of what is happening. Document as much as you can, and stop trying to figure out why they are so upset. You’re not going to discover some hidden rational explanation, nor is that your responsibility. Protect yourself.
Don’t waste mental energy looking for reason or competence. They did it because nobody can stop them, and they think they can gain money or power by doing it. That’s always the motivation, and it doesn’t make a difference to the response. We simply need to stop them.
Which ocean? Do you care where you start and/or end your journey? Miami to Barcelona is going to be very different than Long Beach to Shanghai.
You can find some repositioning cruises for close to the price of a flight, but you’ll be in a shitty cabin and you would need to get to the departure port.
That depends on two things.
Will he live that long?
Will the people who own him let him have it?
You know, I hadn’t considered that. You’re immortal and so is everyone else. Do you even bother trying to enforce laws? Anyone put in jail is going to wake up back in their own bed. Anyone in jail is going to do whatever they can to escape. I suppose the guards aren’t going to show up for work. In fact, nobody is going to go do their jobs. Why would you choose to slog it out when you could do anything? Power companies will go dark, and public transit will disappear. Telecoms would stop working and anything that isn’t automated will just go away.
I suppose the early morning hours would be a mad dash for resources and weapons. Anyone unfortunate enough to sleep in that day would wake up to a world gripped in chaos every single day. Late nights would be either a wild party or extremely lonely.
But with the reset, things wouldn’t fall into disrepair. People who want to restore power and communications go just go and turn those back on. Money would be meaningless, so it would just be civic pride and boredom that brings the world back from chaos.
Sex wouldn’t mean much. Anyone giving birth that day would probably get weird. Anyone suffering from terminal illnesses would probably secure some great drugs and numb the pain as much as possible.
We would create a lot of performance art. Music, plays, creative storytelling, everyone would have time to create and consume.
Physical art would be almost nonexistent. You couldn’t work on a painting or statue, and anything you create would be gone by the next day.
If everyone is experiencing it, then everyone is going to change their behavior every day and the only thing that will be the same is the weather. There will be no patterns, but you’ll have people walking down the street, dodging pidgeon poop like Nic Cage with a mullet.
Current, but he’s a retired Marine chiropractor and guru.
I know, it just sounds like a movie starring Treat Williams and Steven Segal.
Are we really sticking withThe Adjuster?
Almost like they generated some AI images from old Facebook posts but didn’t realize he stopped tweezing since he stopped pisting puctures online.
I went with a source where pick-me poors wouldn’t scream fake news.
His eyebrows don’t match the images from the security cameras. Those are bushier.
Somebody who needed $60k for medical expenses.
Most people like to argue that “people didn’t know better back then.” That’s absolute bullshit. There were ecologists and scientists fighting to preserve wolves in the 1920s, and conservatives and capitalists chose to ignore the best advice of educated experts because killing wolves was easier and more profitable.
