It reminded me a lot of Stargate Universe, a complete tonal whiplash that was clearly imitating other popular shows rather than a continuation of the franchise. I was pretty kind to it in the beginning because SGU got pretty good after I got over it not being Stargate as well, but Discovery S2 completely killed any hope I had.

One, that’s the kind of thin you get from it being cheap and way past the point you’re supposed to throw it out. Perfection.

Can an object be on both sides of the portal at once? Like if I ran a cable from the inside to the outside. I’m trying to work out how to handle water and sewage, because like everyone else I’ve concluded this is obviously a living space.

I’ve never done it in my own home, but I had a coworker I’d text with even though his desk was an arms length away from mine. Mostly because it could be hard to tell when either of us was on or about to make a call.

I was going to say “the one where he’s a rapist”, but weirdly that only narrows it down a bit. 🤮

The Inner Light was what finally got me into Star Trek.

It’s not like I had never seen an episode, in fact I’d seen lots, but it was comfortable background noise I’d change the channel too as yet another repeat I had no context for aired. Always somehow a filler episode or the second part of a multi-episode arc. I’d written off Trek as pleasantly mediocre and wholly dependent on technobabble despite otherwise being an extremely keen sci-fi fan.

Luckily, on some long forgotten forum, someone described an episode which sounded nothing like the Trek I had seen. As you said, the emotional weight got me good.

I was going to post the same thing.

I lied, I cheated, I bribed men to cover the crimes of other men. I am an accessory to murder. But most damning thing of all, I think I can live with it. And if I had to do it all over again, I would.

Just… god damn it hits hard. Also Sisko’s change in tone turning the final “I can live with it” into a question.

I personally like that this season is leaning more into the supernatural, and have so enjoyed it far more than Seasons 2 & 3. It doesn’t have that visual flair of the first season though sadly, the constant night is something I suspect was more evocative and claustrophobic in the script than on the screen.

Most people could cheap out on tools and they’d still last. The average person just doesn’t use the ones they own very often or work them particularly hard. Really, you’re going to know if your usage will require higher quality tools and it’s not the average techbro posting on /r/buyitforlife.

Backpacks are similar. If you’re just using one lightly loaded for an urban commute there is nothing wrong with cheaping out. Spending more is really for people who are wearing them hard and filling them to capacity.

That’s a really abnormal reaction. You sure everything is alright?

I went to the doctor because I was having panic attacks. I already knew I had an anxiety disorder, I have since I was a kid, so I assumed I was only going to resume treatment. The doctor just started me back on some meds like usual, but sent me off for some blood tests out of routine.

I don’t want to get specific but, as it turns out, there was a lot more going on. I’d been feeling sick for a long time. It seems ridiculous looking back just how sick I let myself become but never even considered seeing a doctor about it. I had a thousand excuses for why it might be happening but not a big deal, and a thousand more lying to myself that it was normal and I wasn’t sick at all.

I spent the next two years with medical appointments at least twice a week and referred to various specialists. My inner elbow looks like a junkie’s from all the tests. I am still not close to where I used to be, but I’m feeling a lot better these days.

I think the Game Boy Color is my favourite. It just fit it’s purpose so well. Simple, rugged, compact, reasonably priced and looked great. The cartridge system was perfect for kids.

The original Game Boy just missed the sweet spot and the DS is when they start getting more fragile, more expensive and the game cards were a lot less kid friendly than the cartridges were. They were all good in their own right still but didn’t quite hit the mark as well. The non-SP advance was pretty close though.

However, wherever I go, there’s always going to be drama, so wouldn’t it be wiser to stay with the bad I already know?

If you’re asking how to find the “mental fortitude” to stay, it’s probably better to leave.

Also for what it’s worth, most of my jobs have been fairly drama free. Some of them have still been utterly shit for other reasons but there doesn’t always have to be drama. You’ve got a weird lot at the moment, a coworker who keeps to themselves is usually a plus not something to get upset over.

Nah, mouse isn’t used for switching windows.

I use one of the extra arms to hit the enter key at work. This brings me much joy.

Seriously, one of my biggest frustrations is the tiny inefficiency caused by needing to use a mouse and keyboard at the same time. I can navigate most of it with just the left hand side of the keyboard except for hitting enter at the end of forms. Moving my hand off my mouse or from the left hand side of the keyboard to the right in this rapid, heavily repeated process is uncomfortable.

Now I’ve written all that I’ve realised I should just bind it to something on the left hand side of the keyboard or the mouse though. Oh well, I’ll put it on the to do for Monday lmao

Also being able to type with both hands, hold the old school corded phones we still have, and use the mouse or write with a pen at the same time would rule.

Yeah, got talked into it by an ex. Wasn’t even really about the awkwardness a lot of people talk about.

For me, it was initially hot but I ended up with a deep, hollow feeling. You have the same lack of intimacy with the third that makes one night stands unfulfilling, combined with this sort of violation of the intimacy you had with your partner. I actually felt a bit sick afterwards.

If it’s your thing have at it, there are plenty of different relationship styles and kinks that’d make it much more appealing, but personally I would never consider it again.

Quokka > Wallaby > Kangaroo

lmao yeah I got told basically the same thing at my last job a bunch
