They would select for skills needed for that film eg running underfoot on cue. They would also likely be trying to match cats with doppelgangers.

For example, here’s Ian McKellan talking about 4 identical cats on the set of Apt Pupil each of whom had particular skills needed for the scene where he kills a cat:

This was the day of the Cats - there were four identical ginger toms. The docile cat which could be thrown and shaken and swung in the air and just miaowed for more. The cat which could move to order. A third who could eat on cue. Then there was the feral cat only to be approached by its trainer, wearing an armoured glove! All feline manouevres were achieved by the bribe of edible paste, overseen by an animal rights official, who was on set to protect the 4 pussies.

Aaah look at the length of those legs and that proud little nose.

Back before the Breed Standard for Pugs got out of control.

OP’s username should clue you in.

The reason why I think it wins is it becomes obvious Satan can have do-overs and he’s already falling for one of them. He hasn’t actually escaped, and Satan is still having fun at his expense.

Thanks, this is good to know!

Interesting! What part of the world do you live in, if you don’t mind me asking?

Been a long time since I read it too but basically you had to do federal service and military was the most popular branch of that. But the book is mostly interested in military and high up characters talk about their military background etc. It’s definitely fascist.

Yeah I found it boring as well. But yeah that would explain it!

Only ex military caste have power because they are the only people who can vote or hold public office.

There’s this respected teacher guy in it who goes on about how violence solves everything, hero’s main trajectory is for him to become really on board with that setup. Bunch of capital punishment, whipping etc.

50 Shades of Grey.

The film is silly and mediocre but the book is next level terrible.

Probably because Starship Troopers isn’t PKD. It’s Heinlein.

Kind of funny to imagine what it would have been like if it had been written by PKD. Johny Rico would have spent 1/3 of the book going through a divorce and the troopers would have all been on halucinogens.

I think it might depend on the level of formality; pretty sure in very formal British ettiquette it goes clockwise from the person to the right of the host.

I don’t really understand how they would be able to know the age of everyone like @Waker describes though.

The rounding up would make sense.

I don’t think I have paid cash in a restaurant here in this century. In this part of the world the debit card system took hold quite early.

Definity not real and what they did is a crime.

We don’t have tipping culture but praising the meal to the waiter is considered polite at the end of the meal.

This only applies to the elderly generation but they tend to put “quite” at the start of any praise.

So, saying food is “quite good” is actually higher praise than “good”. But to people not from here it sounds like the opposite.

@themightybalian thanks for updating us. Yikes.

Probably zoology and neuroscience.

I enjoy some of the soft sciences as well but that feels a bit off topic.
