Sorry, I didn’t realize I was needed to indicate my sarcasm. It is always about power and control when comes down to it, though you could see the sunk cost in this situation as being the power of the church. Honestly, I do believe this comic may be specifically using hats as a symbol for the power of the church at that time.

Wooooaaaah! Thanks Crow!

Hee hee, me too.

Of course! I hope you find a way to enjoy Who. It is a lovely universe. The other idea would be to look into Big Finish audio—they do a lot of interesting Who stuff.

If you like the lore but watching it makes you want to stab your eyes out, look into the Target novelisations. They are mostly faithful to what was on the TV, and you get to use your imagination instead of BBC’s production values. They were usually written by the same person who wrote the script. I actually prefer the novels for several stories and was really, really disappointed when I finally had a chance to see them. A big bonus is the Target books are pretty cheap and easy to find used.

Ah, the sunk cost fallacy… of course that’s why we can’t have anything nice.

It’s definitely something that you have to grow up with. I was lucky to have an uncle who was obsessed with The Fourth Doctor when I was a child, and my love of the show comes from that. I wish some of the older stuff could be redone: it’s unwatchable for many because it was made for an audience who had tiny black and white TVs and a great deal more patience.

At least for me:

Dr. Who (First through Fifth Doctor mostly)

Original Star Trek

Star Trek: TNG

Star Trek: Voyager

Star Trek: DS9

Thank you for sharing. I always really appreciate learning more about your life, because it has been so different from mine. Thank you also for your contributions to lemmy in general.

“Theresa’s Sound World” by Sonic Youth is the first to come to mind. The whole of Daydream Nation could probably count, honestly.

“Everything in its Right Place” by Radiohead (edit: idiot autocorrect) is another one I’ve often taken an audio bath in. Much of that album works too. I just hate the final song.

Ah, the goose just needs to go to Gaul!

Glad I finally got off world and can see your comments again. Missed you. Not trying to be weird, I just like your style.

Hey there, your link isn’t working because the exclamation point is connected to the previous word. Yes, I know how to get there otherwise, but it might help others.

I keep seeing your username, and I just have to tell you I love it. I have now spent time considering the implications of a sentient loom, and I will continue to do so because they are so vast. Thank you.

He needs to set it to like 15 seconds so people think they are crazy for awhile. Needs to go back to normal faster. And then like 500 normal screens in the folder.

It’s Lemmy! Lemmy! Lemmy lemmy lemmy!

Yes, it is definitely stupid adults’ fault. Every time. If a kid is having issues, it’s because of an adult behaving poorly. Usually the parents, but teachers and others can be just as bad.

Oh shit! Don’t tell anyone I said anything!

Kids are so smart! That is why I love working with them. They can be so resourceful and think outside the box so easily… while I am supposed to be the teacher, they often teach me more.
