  It’s one of those movies that I put on for giggles one boring evening many moons ago, and spent the whole time going “what the fuck?”

  We are in his debt. He showed great courage.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Just…

  Don’t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Choose your Fighter⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll pick the Stegosaurus… but only because the Triceratops is conspicuously absent from this chart.

  (Secret fighter menu?)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I think it's extremely invasive that amazon is telling me this⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Those NextDoor posts are something else.

  In my area, they tend to take on racist undertones. But, there are also posts of equal-opportunity fearmongering, wherein strange cars, teenagers with clipboards, or nicely -dressed middle-aged ladies taking pictures of houses are suspected of casing the joint for later break-in, accompanied by the usual question: Should I call the police?

  Folks really are that fearful, and it’s a sad state of affairs.

  “My, I bet you monsters lead interesting lives. I said to my girlfriend just the other day - Gee, I’ll bet monsters are interesting, I said. And I’ll bet you meet a lot of interesting people, too. I’m always interested in meeting interesting people. Now let’s dip our patties in the water!”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can you live a fulfilling life with autism?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh, I bet that “reason” is to achieve some kind of mythical “purity”, as though such a thing was even desirable…

  Well, at least you got one thing right: I’m very much entitled to my opinion. And, I opine that I don’t want to live the same, boring, homogenous, inbred, weak life as everyone else. If you think that’s what you need to be happy, happy trails and good fucking luck. 🫡

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can you live a fulfilling life with autism?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Really? As a weirdo, I’m not sure I agree with that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can you live a fulfilling life with autism?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You say “weirdo” as if that’s a bad thing…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fitbit Clock Fade⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s something I think I’d like to use, but I don’t know if could get over the fact that neither the date nor the time are in ISO 8601 format.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When you want to quit drinking⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I appreciate how far NA beers have come since O’Douls. It’s gotten to the point where I can much more easily replace the want for a certain kind of beer in some situations—a party, working out in the yard, eating certain foods—with a Partake or an Athletic, and not feel like I’m missing something.

  But, gosh, I want someone other than Guinness to make a good NA stout.

  What a guy!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Implants. Those aren't your memories, they're somebody "else's.⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Must be expensive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Implants. Those aren't your memories, they're somebody "else's.⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s artificial?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What moment from a video game made you cry?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m a pretty emotional dude. I tear up at a lot of things, happy and sad. But, there are very few things in this life that have caused me to totally break down, ugly crying. The ending to “To the Moon” is one of them. Too visceral a reminder of saying goodbye to people I’ve loved very much.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's Capt Gregg⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Meet you in Holodeck 3 later?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I dunno, still might be aliens with this one.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I want to believe…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is the way⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  If the bottom one actually worked, I wouldn’t do the top three.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We've been jammed!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  …and the what?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨#1 or #2?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  And here’s me about two hours away from my copy of the Star Trek: The Next Generation Technical Manual to debunk this obvious joke with a picture of all the architectural diagrams where it calls out places where one might find a head, including, IIRC, the Ready Room, of which I imagine Riker probably avails himself on the regular.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple's new iPhone 15 is an underwhelming 'slap in the face,' say disappointed fans⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I fall squarely into that 3-year cycle. My old iPhone 12 Pro, which is—as others would very plainly say—still pretty capable, is liable to go to my mother. My husband’s will go to one of the nieces or nephews.

  For me, this “slap in the face upgrade” is liable to be a pretty substantial upgrade. And, I’m good with spending my money on that.
