Anger Corner - Expressing it, Accepting it, 'Managing' it
Hey everyone,
Off the back of our Saturday Topic Thread this afternoon which was all about Anger, I wanted to create a little corner here for you folks to continue your discussions if you wish to. Thanks to all those who came along.
We talked a bit about what feeling angry typically looks like for each of us, noticing just how different and unique the experience of anger can be for each person.
We explored how we typically express and communicate our anger, and what kind of consequences or impact this tends to have.
We talked about our feelings in response to anger - whether it makes us feel empowered, relieved, embarrassed, upset, out of control etc.
It would be great to keep exploring this below if you wish, and asking one another for advice!

Re: 🛸 🌍 Are we not alone? 🛸 🌍
Good question @Amy22 (and don't worry, this is the right place for a debate!). I'd agree with @slovie - given the size of the universe and the number of planets we've already identified as having the potential to host life, it's probable that life exists elsewhere in the universe.
If it does, most of them are likely quite simple organisms, because the combination of climate conditions that are needed to develop more complex creatures like humans are quite narrow. But the idea that there could be another species out there that could be intelligent enough to communicate with Earth is both terrifying and exciting - as you'd expect when it comes to the huge unknowns of the universe!

Do you love space too?
Hey folks, so one little fact about me is that I really love space. I'm not particularly knowledgeable about science, but I've always been fascinated by space, the planets, stars, etc. I just think it's beautiful, and that there's something oddly comforting about the idea of just how small this little planet is in the wider picture of things, and how we all belong to Nature - there's place for all of us.
I don't know if you've heard, but there is soon to be a meteor shower in the sky which is supposed to be the best of the year! You can learn more here: https://www.onlygoodnewsdaily.com/post/the-best-meteor-shower-of-the-year-is-about-to-begin.
Are you interested in space? Did you see the Northern Lights during the flares earlier this year? Do you find space scary or comforting?
Lets get into it!

Voting Age Lowered to 16+
Hey everyone,
You may have seen the big news- the UK is officially lowering the voting age to 16!
This is going to be a big change in how our democracy works. Many say it's a long-overdue recognition that young people deserve a say in their future, especially when it comes to issues like climate change, education, and mental health. Others think 16-17 yr olds might not have the life experience or political understanding to make such a big decision....
So what do you all think?
Should 16-year-olds have the vote?
Could it change the outcome of elections?
....would love to hear your thoughts!

Re: Do you want to shape YOUR community? Become a Community Connector!
Just to say, as a long time community connector it’s well worth getting involved with this if you can. We have done all sorts, from redesigning the ranking system, completely rewriting the community guidelines, running the christmas forum and projects, and much more. It’s also a place where you can raise any concerns you might have about the way the community operates if you were to ever have any
Re: Anything new at the cinema?
I've just found out that the guy who played Mr Terrific in it also played Laurent in Twilight??? crazyAlso I wouldn't say I'm a major superhero fan or anything but since watching Superman on Sunday I can't stop thinking about it. It was very fun !

Re: Anything new at the cinema?
Yes I watched them just before the new one! The 28 days later one is obviously the best - but I did really like the characters in 28 years later. They were so unique and each had their own quirks. Definitely agree on Ralph Fiennes too. I can't wait to learn more about his character (I think in the next one?)DonnerKebab wrote: »Have you watched any of the other 28 days later films?
What are your thoughts on there being a couple more movies in the series @DonnerKebab ? I can't wrap my head around how it's basically 2 trilogies ? I don't know I don't understand it - why isn't it just one long series
@Katie 28 days is still the greatest. You know, i genuinely think that scene with Frank is one of the best in the history of horror films. And 28 years has the best character development out of all of them. Fully with you on that. And i've seen some rather dark theories about Jack O'Connell's character. I think the next one is 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple which is out in 6 months roughly, which will explain a lot more about that ending. I think it's rather dark though from the theories i've seen. There's a reason they all are dressed like that and are wearing blonde wigs that look like... well.... you know.
And honestly, i don't really see them as a trilogy. 28 days, weeks and years i don't see as a linked trilogy. They all show different characters, different stages of the outbreak with very little connecting them besides the fact they are in the same post apocalypse. And even that is tricky, because the ending of 28 weeks sort of contradicts 28 years later (there's a single small moment that clarifies the ending though that most people miss though in 28 years). So i see them as independent from one another, just showing the evolution of the UK during the stages, from outbreak, to attempted rebuilding, to long term survival. Besides the fact it's the same UK and rage virus outbreak, nothing really connects the first 3 films together outside of that. Not characters, not locations, not even time periods. The new trilogy though is closely linked together.
Spoilers:
28 years later shows Jimmy during the initial outbreak and sets him up for the next film, and introduces the new world 28 years later. The next film will build of that, and no doubt the film after will. And will be a lot more connected and in a trilogy.
I can 100% see a 28 years later trilogy, just not the 28 days, 28 weeks and 28 years later films as a trilogy together.
PS. Sorry for the long reply
