I don't see an option to buy an additional year before the renewal date when managing my Prime Subscription

Yeah I see where it'll let me change to $119 yearly on February 16th but that's it.

I may just cancel like I did with Netflix. You can always create new accounts and get 30 day free trials...forever. You just have to do it every month you want to use Prime. It's just a matter of using new email addresses. Everything else can stay the same.

I mean maybe someone older and unhip or whatever who greets a black guy with, "What's up, man?" then greets a white guy with "How's it going?" or something similar.

My manager does it constantly. His lingo changes like the person can't understand him if he talks in his normal vernacular. I hear it everywhere really and often wonder if the black dude thinks it's a weird thing to do

My father moved away when I was young. He didn't contact me very much over the years. We met up a few years ago and he was like he's sorry for how things went down. We were cool and hung out. We kept in touch after that.

He died recently, and I discovered throughout all the years he'd lost contact he'd been coming back to the area to visit family. Never bothered telling me he was here. I recently found out he had a will and left everything to his step daughter. Even after our reunion and the apology, he didn't think to leave me even a worthless trinket to remember him by. She got all my grandfather's stuff also and she wasn't even related to him by blood. I'm sure she sold all the family heirlooms by now.

I won't say I hate him. I'm just over him.

Like on the way to Camden Yards you'll see mountains of trash floating in streams in front of people's homes. The city needs to work on that. The train is full of tourists going to see ballgames and the national aquarium and they're left with that memory?

Aressar posted...
There are quite a few acts and connections which impacted later events in one way or another, though here are the most significant ones:
Adam Ewing's (Jim Sturgess) acts described in his journal influenced Robert Frobisher (Ben Whishaw), whose letters and music would in turn influence Luisa Rey (Halle Berry), after Rey met Frobisher's lover Sixsmith. All this eventually culminated in her finding the courage to take it upon herself to uncover a corporate conspiracy and prevent an environmental disaster.

Some of this is directly shown in the trailer:
https://youtu.be/hWnAqFyaQ5s

As for the later three periods of time:
Timothy Cavendish (Jim Broadbent) wrote a book describing his ordeal, which was later adapted into a movie, which was seen by Sonmi-451 (Doona Bae) who then joined the resistance and gave a widely broadcasted speech (which may have been what led to the downfall of the dystopia she lived in, though this connection is not directly shown), and later became a religious figure to Zachry (Tom Hanks), who then helped Meronym activate the mountain facility to send a distress signal to an off-world human colony which saved them and other remaining humans, as Earth was no longer habitable due to radiation.

The point of the movie was how through a chain of causality, even small, seemingly insignificant acts of kindness can end up making a profound, meaningful impact later on, like Cavendish making the decision to help Mr Meeks escape with him and the others, despite having a low opinion of Meeks. Later on however, Meeks ends up saving them all by rallying the Scottish football fans in the pub to their aid. If that hadn't happened, Cavendish wouldn't have gotten to write and publish his book, and none of the later events would have unfolded the way they did.

Hope this helped in clearing up a few things.

I appreciate that and was sure it had some order. I still think all that is way too busy for the average American attention span. It struck me as a movie strictly for intellectuals. I couldn't follow some of the conversations. Unfortunately my brain cells are hanging on by a thread at this point.

@Aressar I watched it again and don't see how any acts impacted the future.

Like, the guy who shot himself in the bathtub in the 1930's was interrogating the Korean woman in the future. What did him shooting himself have to do with anything?

I remember when the radiator split and I had to coast off the interstate with no power/steering. I then had to walk half a mile to a gas station with the car left near the off ramp, then call collect, because the damn payphone wouldn't take my change.

Then I had to walk back and wait to be picked up.

It was an adventure, a lame one, but yeah.

Sounds like an adventure. When I was younger I was driving with my brother and his car stalled. I can't remember why. He started walking down the street towards someone's house he knows and told me to wait in the car. Then some old man in a station wagon stopped and offered me a ride. He took me home and my brother came back a couple hours later with blisters on his feet from walking. lol

If Trump wins in 2024, he'll make himself a King. He's gonna have to overcome tax fraud and seditious conspiracy charges to make it all the way to the White House. If Republicans are willing to allow that, he'll just throw away all pretext at that point.

I've said this for a while...I think he wants a civil war. He's not outright saying it, but he's hinting strongly and supporting treason and terrorism in his name.

Whatever powers are really running this country need to shut him down. ln any way necessary.
