I’m faceblind, that honestly didn’t register.

Idk about mass loss, but space is full of small rocks and dust moving at high speeds. Impacts from those might not make a big difference on the human timescale, but a longer one, it would absolutely cause a shift in orbital momentum.

What is this from? Continues? (I just found that the other day, haven’t watched it yet)

Awww this makes me miss Waffle House. Vaguely.

All of my experiences with Waffle House have been either drunk or nostalgia (literally only two options, as I haven’t been at one in 10+ yrs but experienced my first under 25 years ago), and both are passable. At least your drunk meal doesn’t cost much. And if you are sober you don’t expect much.

But when you go sober, for nostalgia, in a region you don’t normally frequent, they get actively upset at large (pay for the job, not based on check) tips. Left $10 on a $10 tab somewhere in Kansas, because fuck those people work hard, and they made absolutely certain I meant to leave that in cash. They seemed actively uncomfortable with it.

Such a weird dynamic for a country that allows/requires tipping. But they are so used to poverty wage that anything that isn’t is unbelievable. Man that’s so sad.

I run a pihole to block ads network-wide. I tried doing a general search for a bit of info on it and didn’t find much, but I guess my question is are the ads they run more like sponsored results, or like actual advertisements?

What does this mean? I want to like DuckDuckGo, but it’s kinda messy.

That’s pretty smart, but I have no social life and live on the internet (have since the 90s when I hit my teens, because I changed schools every year from 5th grade on, which is no way to build stable relationships), and drinking alone.. well it seems slightly better with internet company. Even if that’s detached in time. I kinda miss the chat rooms that were around when I was 13-20, but at the same time, I definitely don’t (a/s/l was nothing but pervy old dudes scoping targets…)

I don’t really think I’ll ever be sober, because I like brewing beer and have nothing to fully quit for (based on family history, I’m pretty likely to die young, so either 50s young, or 80s old no matter what shit choices I make, so I’m splitting the difference), but it’s fucking with my stomach and increasing my anxiety, so I’m def trying to moderate it. I’m down to mostly not drinking during the week… it was a lot easier to quit when I was 24 and had a drinking problem (lasted about a year after my mom died, she was the only family I had), wtf?

And thanks! It’s a reminder to be a better person and not let it grow out of control. You need to tend a tree for it to be healthy and constructive (nature does this as well, with storms and cycles and sun), I need to tend my apathy so it doesn’t overtake the beautiful, rich, and diverse garden of thoughts and feelings it tries to shade out. My mental health writ large.

My Reddit handle was related to what I used the account for (wasting time) which led people to have a 50/50 assumption I was trolling so I.. reassessed myself and my goals.

Yo fwiw I have incredible fond memories of andromeda, cleopatra 2525, Xenia warrior princess (them sexy ladies in those costumes 😍 no wonder I’m not straight!), Hercules, Xenia and Hercules, etc etc. 90s-00s sci fy was trash but scratches such an itch now!

The shit they used to air in late night tv after the normal scheduled broadcast ran was the best of tv.

I have a full copy of andromeda in my media self host, along with the others mentioned, cuz while it is cheesy af -today- it was better/not shit/no extra context in its own time.

But also Kevin sorbo is a train wreck in his own rights.. so like… anything touched by that hand was doomed anyway.
