I think we’ve been reading this wrong. It’s not that Boeing is killing of whistle blowers. There’s just so many that some are bound to die. This winds up creating confirmation bias that they are trying to silence the whistle blowers. In fact, they can just do what they’ve always done, ignore the problems and enjoy the profits of regulatory capture

Same. I have had particularly poor results on image searches from duckduckgo. It’s on par or superior to Google for general web searches, but man, Google image search is still better

I think that’s even more of a testament to what good writing, acting, and directing can do. And a harsh indictment of the Star Wars DU as a whole. Bad set direction and blocking in Obi Wan. Turning Ahsoka into a live action Rebels, complete with childish dialogue and an absolute lack of verisimilitude. Book of Boba Fett having complete tonal shifts, not just episode to episode, but scene to scene. Shoot, i wish Disney would finally film and release Episode IX, just so we could have a completion of the sequels.

Mine definitely enjoyed it. She’s patient with my sci-fi viewing habits, as I am with her RomComs. But she said if all of Star Wars were like Andor she’d watch them with me

I’ve described the pacing of the series as like the T1000 chasing John Conner in T2. Starts out with a brisk walk, moving within a few steps to a jog, and before you know it he’s sprinting as fast as a dirtbike at full throttle

I can see the comments, but no worries. They’ve got some good ideas, just need a little polish on expressing them. I get a real ‘offended for the sake of other people’ vibe. It usually comes from seeing injustice and being angry about it. It’s unfortunate, but often the maladaptive result of those feelings is to be a bully. My opinion might be skewed though, because I’ve had to learn how to manage those feelings myself.

At any rate, I wish them peace and long life

So i saw this response of yours first, and wondered why you’re coming in so hard against someone that: 1) proposed a solution, 2) did not insist it was the only solution, and 3) was opening a dialogue of how to help, instead of dismissing the homeless as most of society does.

Then i saw your responses in the rest of the thread and realized either

A) You’re a troll Or B) You’re socially inexperienced

Your responses to other people show that you think your opinion is the only correct one. Before you immediately bang away on the keyboard defending yourself, please take a moment to reflect on how your speech affects your cause. The adage “you attract more flies with honey than vinegar” may not be scientifically correct, but it is socially accurate.

In general, kindness is never wrong. Be kind to others, including strangers on the internet. OTOH, if you can’t play nice, go touch grass and let the adults have a conversation.

Oh, and you’re not wrong about capitalism being part of the problem. You are wrong that working for policy change is “less than bare minimum”. Doing nothing, that is less than bare minimum

My dude i am a lightweight, 5mg has got me out like a light

A 5mg edible an hour before bed has been pretty effective lol

On the plus side it’s given me new intrusive memories for when I’m trying to fall asleep tonight.

So I got that going for me, which is nice

Imitating Pauly Shore in Encino Man during freshman year of high school. I was already a conventionally unattractive overweight nerd, so the affectation was not so much the final nail, but one of many in my social coffin.

I got better tho

Except this isn’t 1 ply toilet paper, it’s 1/2 ply 300 grit sand paper

So… I just love that i basically wrote my post as a shitpost because i think the concept of towels forgetting is funny and you answered with a serious and informative response. It is, and i mean this with all sincerity, quite lovely.

Sadly I don’t need hair care tips anymore, but i bet someone will be like, “Heh, the towel forgets… oh, a T-shirt, that’s brilliant!”

One towel is all that’s needed. Start at the top, work your way from head to feet, floss the crotch last,. When the towel dries, it forgets, and the towel is clean for the next shower. If you have long hair, a second towel may be useful as a turban

Yeah life’s better now, appreciate it tho. Not rich by any means, but not desperate or worried about how to pay bills week to week (some months are tight, but we’ve got savings now)

ITT: people telling OP what kind of pillow to buy lol

I’m too old for most recent LPT to take hold, but in my youth I heard “simplify” your lifestyle. I didn’t understand the message was directed at those with more than they needed, not people like me, living near or in poverty. There’s no need for many things, provided you have what you need and it serves you well. I know this now, but then…

Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid. Early Steve Martin love letter to classic film noir. Everything is played super straight and it just works
