It’s always fun to introduce someone to RAS syndrome, although your definition of fun may vary from mine.

Doesn’t seem like many world governments are motivated to even do that. It feels very much like the people in charge are actively avoiding having to think about these issues, letting them play out until it’s too late, by which time it will be someone else’s problem.

Seems like a great argument for addressing climate change as a priority.

Leeds Leeds Leeds!

I tend to watch everything I can with subtitles these days, watching old stuff again it’s amazing just how much I was missing, either through sound design issues or just zoning out momentarily. The only issue is when the subtitles get ahead of the dialogue and you end up with a bit of a spoiler, albeit only by a few seconds.

I’ve also discovered some absolute gems of sounds/music being subtitled, one of my favourite ever being from the TV show Taskmaster, the sound effect of [he strums balalaika tunelessly], which added so much more than just hearing him strum tunelessly did.
