Protection so powerful we should watch movies with it. And popcorn.

Jesus actually showing up they’d detain him.

Miles ahead of everyone else in Star Trek.

Filing a suit against Amazon… which attorney is going to take that case, and how much money would you need to pay them? 😕

A girl, now young woman, speaking up for the planet and helpless peoples somehow means the world is ending…?

Watch it. It will drag slightly a few seasons in but is still worth it. Then you get to see how it isn’t the same show at all. Also you get more memes!

You could make a cute little felt puppy out of all that fur!

Tetris Effect in VR

Nice now do the Malcom X version.

You should post them! We need more OC here, and less ickplant :\

More Baron Harkonnen maybe?

Those kids are on a list now, too 😕

There are all kinds of clubs out there depending on where you live and your interests. Even the rotary club is a way to connect and do good work while not being religious.

Reagan was an evil genius with the “welfare queen” branding.

Live in Manhattan. Can confirm, they’re the best.

Close runner up are the kitties that live in the plant shops in the flower district.

Immersive games, I don’t know exactly what makes them immersive for me, but they’re the games I turn off any other videos, music, and distractions. To get totally into. Some games:

• The Shadowrun Trilogy
• Disco Elysium
• Morrowind

I think it’s games where there’s interesting stuff to read and think about. I know I preferred Disco Elysium on it’s initial release, when only some of the dialog had voice acting.

Maybe the saddest episode of Star Trek. 🥺

Almsivi Intervention probably

We’ve noticed a recent increase in interest in peertube in that community, and suspect it’s related to TikTok’s moves.

Not sure how some instances will need to handle US government requests/demands if it comes to that. Ones hosted outside the US are probably safer.

One of the most powerful words we have, especially with intimacy and romantic partners, is “no”. I still remember years ago what Dan Savage said and it sticks with me as an interesting difference:

I think what my readers get and what a lot of straight people sort of intuitively get is that your gay friends know a little bit more about sex than you do, and maybe are a little better at it than you are. And that’s not because we’re magic — although we are magic. It’s something else. Gay people have to communicate about sex. Straight people get to consent and stop talking about what happens next or what they want. And when two people of the same sex go to bed, they get to yes, they get to consent, and then they have to have a whole conversation about what’s going to happen. Nothing makes you better at sex than communicating. Gay people have to communicate. Straight people can avoid communication and often do because sex is difficult to talk about. You can’t be gay if you can’t talk about difficult sexual issues, you know, you can’t come out to your family without confronting a difficult sexual issue. It makes it easier for us to have these conversations with our partners, and I think straight people have always kind of gotten that. That’s why it’s such a cliché for straight people to go to their gay friends with their sex problems or sex questions.

You had that initial conversation and it’s totally normal to keep communicating and adjusting the plan as you go. Anyone with any experience with a romantic partner understands and is okay with that. A date is a date, and a date can end in many different ways and still be a good date.
