  I would get a case of beer and go to the library and read until the internet was back on. You can’t stop my escapism that easily.

    I think it might take a little longer to get everything back up and running than you’re anticipating. Also what library haven’t they all closed down now?

  It’s all right, Trump will redirect the solar flare by drawing a new line on a chart. Plasma is very accommodating as everybody is well aware.

  We could party like it’s 1899!

  Or instead go bonkers as society devolves:

    Where can I watch that? Is that movie any good? The trailer doesn’t look great and reminds me of conservaslop apocalypse home invasion type stuff or that weird movie where the world government that wants everyone to wear masks is in one warehouse and there’s a christian preacher steve jobs type and they have a goth tradwife hacker lady.

      I am unsure as to how “good” it is, but it does give off “made for TV” vibes (IMDB rating is 6.9 from merely 100 votes). It appears that the film was intended to be a series that never happened. I think the premise is quite interesting and was the initial reason I sought the show out. The search is made more alluring now because it is nowhere to be found. So far…
