I always find starting a conversation is hard without an ice breaker. Not necessarily something cheesy, but perhaps let’s talk about what general discussion forums already exist and what we like about them. There was often genuinely fun and interesting chat at AskReddit, "would you rather"is a good starter, and maybe we could have a “philosophy Friday” to get into the weeds on deeper topics?
Alternatively we could discuss why “forums” annoys me. It should be “fora”, dammit!
If we were starting from scratch, iron is about as common as it gets, geologically, not to mention how much “leftover” iron and steel there would be, post collapse. Barium/strontium for sintering ferromagnets is trickier, but ores like witherite and baryte aren’t uncommon, though they are quite location specific, globally speaking. Not that you don’t actually need full blown permanent magnets, just ferromagnetic material.
However, the easier (though less efficient) option would be to use dynamos with field coils instead of ferromagnets. That way the only resource you need is wire.
I am personally against it despite Sam Esmail’s involvement (I really liked Mr. Robot). It’s not that I don’t think it could be a good show, it’s that NBC has plenty of other properties from former science fiction shows they could redevelop, but they’re redeveloping this one instead....
I really enjoy time loop games where the player can explore and there’s a story, and isn’t just a puzzle game. I played Outer Wilds a few years ago and I loved everything about it, it’s my favorite in the genre....
I’ve literally just completed Outer Wilds, before finding the… entrance… to the DLC, and it’s not grabbed me like the rest of the game. Is it worth doing?
I’ll go first. Mine is that I can’t stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It’s like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds

All of humanity should be forced to live in a single building, contained in cells 7 by 10 feet in size, all food should be nutrient rich goo delivered by pipe, nobody should be allowed to leave but me
