As I got to the end of paragraph two, Knives Out popped into my head, so you nailed it... or we're the same kind of weird.

This is my new favorite!! I laughed out loud (much needed) at the Ayn Rand bit. In Angela's defense Atlas Shrugged makes much more sense as... [spoiler alert]

Oh! I think I'd suggest that they could save you both a lot of time and bother if they just found something on the lot from say, 2019 or so...

I'm sure some blame can be assigned to the driver; experienced cyclists know not to ride hard enough to do the damage Evenepoel did in such circumstances. Almost by definition, others will underestimate the speed of an approaching Olympic time trial champion. Best wishes for a speedy recovery Remco!

Perhaps not, but I wouldn't minimize the complexity or effectiveness of the Hannah and Louise characters in this film, nor describe their relationship as merely mother-daughter.

Better would have been to say that the heptapod language(s) don't fully exist, in the way that Klingon exists. I didn't mean to slight the tremendous amount of work and thought that went into producing such a compelling movie.

Hannah is much more than an emotional driver for Louise. Her palindromic name adds a layer of explanation, and her existence compactly communicates much about the Louise/Ian relationship and their different reactions to (fore)knowledge.

I get it, but that would have required a tremendous amount of work (the alien language doesn't exist/is not in the short story) and probably couldn't have convinced you. At the level presented, it's compelling, at least to this lay person.
