Oh wow, you were something, weren't you? Where were you when I was setting up house? I had no idea how to be a suburban person, a suburban 'housewife'. Maybe I did know but I didn't care. My mother always

Thank you very much @discovery-it 🌟

It is a sad movie, and yes, very thoughtful. In a way, though, it's not that sad, because she gets on with her life and she meets good people on the road. I really think you will enjoy this.

I do highly recommend it. Watch it when you in a good mood, because it is rather sad.

I never knew what Nomadland was about, though I've heard of it of course, particularly Chloe Zhou's achievement. I was thinking about how 'real' this was. Most of it is not scripted, but part of it is.

There are many degrees of poverty. All you have to do is walk down a city street and you see people with no home at all. There are trailer parks where people live. They are not necessarily poor people.

Hello dear @kemmyb, we then have to figure out who we are afterwards. Do we have to courage to go it alone? I don't know if I would. I think a nomadic lifestyle would be daunting for me, although maybe

Thank you, @storicious and @topcomment!

A great review. The senseless nature of the duel seems to parallel the senseless nature of the Napoleonic Wars. All that blood shed for the sake of one man's ego.

Ray is just amazing. Of course I grew up listening to Ray Charles music in the 50s. The movie was a revelation to me.

This is so adorable, @geila 🐕😇.

I remember this movie. Foxx is great. Cruise, as you say, is Cruise, though even more so in this movie. In a way he reminds me of Swarzenegger in his early films: A robot-like role that doesn't demand

It has been very useful in helping me to understand certain medical issues. However, I will not let it insert one comma in anything I've written. As a source of information--OK. For creative activity...No.

where I can actually create much better collages just with a text prompt than anything I’ve tried to do so far. This is an absurd statement (sorry for being blunt). Your collages are great precisely because

I believe that the structures of all civilized societies were built with men at the center! I'm sorry, I have to laugh at that. Societies that are matrilineal or matrilocal abound across the world. I will

You caught me in a melancholic mood. I don't think you ever go back, though you may find peace. Life has changed forever. Shouldn't it?

Thank you! A great program and a great incentive for people.
