Any of the Ghibli movies? Have you seen the food they have? Aside of that joke …
It is really hard to decide. Marvel universe would be interesting because you just get superpowers basically by default.
None of the classic animes. They are too focused on the main characters to have any meaningful world building.
Star Trek during TNG is very chill for the masses. So that would be safe and interesting.
None of the SW bs, no Harry Potter neither… Maybe some Forgotten Realms stuff - probably after the Drizzt saga (i stooped reading after the 5k orcs books so probably arond there).
Dragonlance had a nice idillic world building. And they had dragons!
Very hard question, indeed!

Free childcare and early childhood development with free meals for kids. Ohh and playgrounds and parks.
It has proven in the past to improve a lot of things in a community.

I have a brother laser printer. It is very basic, but it can print stickers with the right paper.
And the finished product won’t run, because it is laser vs ink.
I just put the third toner in, and works fine.
The only thing if you get a basic one, make sure it can use the right wifi network in your home.

Talking to a random stranger in an environment where random talk is possible yes. (Bus, waiting room, concert, bar, basically anywhere public).
Going to stranger’s s table at a restaurant (not fast food, or shoulder to shoulder) nope.

I do love llms they have their limited use cases. But the problem is that humanity is right now playing with a loaded gun.
If we would learn how to use it properly, it would be just another useful tool. But we are incapable of being respectful of anything that’s not within our sight. An sometimes not even if it is within.
Our greed and laziness is what makes it bad. All those psychotic breaks? All those easy to exploit safeguards? Loosing our cognitive ability? Wasting money on unproven systems to make more money?
Humans are the problem.
Honestly I am waiting for AI caused copyright hellscape apocalypse. If everything is free, everything is free - and they can’t make money. It will be an ‘interesting ride’ for the years to come.

Elephants! After them~~ everything else~~ is my favorite :)
Edit, never mind: Not everything else, mostly mammals and fishes - and couple danger noodles and creepy-crawlers - but definitely not icky bloodsuckers. Tho leeches are at least prettier while swimming, than those flying disease vectors.

Human monkey brains like enclosed spaces for security especially when we are the most vulnerable. Closed doors gives you the impression of safety.
And on top of that I have a window in the bathroom that’s not have any balckout curtains on it. So it needs to be closed, else I would wake with the sun. And that’s not a desired outcome.

Yeah, when you say ‘I like watching YouTube’ sounds exactly like ‘I like watching Tiktok’.
You have to say it differently: I like to watch online learning content. :).
What are your to ho channels?

If you feel you have to step away, then do it for yourself - keep being mindful of the cause. Because it’s not a shut and close situation.

Life is always changing, tonight you might not want the internet - half a year from now you might need a very obscure information and you will be able to look it up and log off again.

I love the internet, because it is amazing tool. And so much knowledge is at the tip of your fingerprints! In my childhood if I wanted to learn something I hoped we had the right book home, or it’s library time with the cards and looking for books and hoping the book had an appendices…
Internet does have a rotten part to it - but to give up all the free education YouTube has, all the wikis on the world - it would be going backwards for me.

Yes, a good Food Forrest will provide even for some livestock, chickens and rabbits.

Ooh! I love Lem! I do recommend him for any sci-fi lovers.

Forgot to mention: look up Food Forrest layouts for your climate.
You can have some chickens also. If you don’t want to eat them for meat eggs are still important source of protein.

Gardening, getting solar panels and a well is the regular way to handle a crisis.
You can download a lot of data - like Wikipedia, getting books to live on, get a novie collection going, get a sewing machine and good thread also. Global collapse can be just a blink or go mad max. That case guns also.
I don’t believe it will be that bad, but the signs for sure sow a lot of upcoming troubles.

Taking up arms against ice isn’t the same as revolution - it could lead to it but: there is a reason why revolutions started in the spring and not in the middle of insane winter storms.
I’m not saying it’s not possible but: we are manipulated from every side.

If you decided then, it is time to make a to do list.
Check what skills you have, figure out how you are going to make a living.
Research your realistic options. Read local news see what’s the actual political climate there. It’s not going to be easy. Good luck and hope you find what you seek!

Leaving a country isn’t that easy. And other countries has problems also - and being foreign in a country isn’t for everyone.
I believe there is no reason to flee - yet.
People are angry but it’s not revolution angry. I don’t think with the media and smartphones and all the distractions will let people to do revolution.
If you still inclined to do so, check your tartget countries requirements for asylum or immigration. There are a lot of loops and hoops.
Learning a local language, getting a job, a place to live and eke out a life in a strange place without support is really hard.

Depends on how old are your kids. If they are young you could get a second hand quest 2, for ~$120.
It should be good enough to see if they are actually going to use it on long term.
With that you could hold out for the steam frame also. Without investing too much. And probably you can resale the quest 2 getting most of your money back.

Old sci-fi hands down: Babylon 5.
And a lot of young people haven’t seen some movies: Matrix (mostly the first one), The fifth element, Short circuit, if you want blood: RoboCop movies. Animation: Titan AE, Vampire Hunter D, Battle Angel Alita, Blood the last vampire.
