  • You're right, it's exclusive when it shouldn't be.

    I would expand the question. "Sci-fi had always inspired me, what clicks for you and why?"

  • Former lurkers (here or elsewhere online), what changed?

    Jump

  • On Reddit, the conversation was usually incredibly angry and rude.

    Here, some people fall back into that habit, but it's usually calmer and more thoughtful.

    So that's what I try to do, try to be encouraging and uplifting when I can.

  • Am I wrong for feeling cringe and ickiness when looking at my country flag?

    Jump

  • I've always felt pride in the ideals of my nation, and shame from its actions.

    But at least I still hold onto the ideals. It's not nothing.

  • What's something that most people consider embarrassing that you don't?

    Jump

  • Made for a very awkward video, wherein a ton of people shat themselves in their cars and then got out and wandered around, looking for a bathroom.

    We've all done it, but we didn't mingle with each other afterwards.

  • Pre made ingredients still cooking?

  • Co fucking equal.

  • Why do I feel itchy every time I go under my deck?

  • I was hoping more for the "living in my head rent free" pricing tier.

  • The civil servants did?

  • Why do you hate Teams/Why is Teams despised?

    Jump

  • Lately the reason that I hate it is that when I click on the channel and start typing, it starts browsing through the channel link instead of putting what I type into the channel. And it's intermittent, so much more infuriating.

  • Has anyone here felt hopelessly disenfranchised with life and turned that around?

  • I'm 50 and have severe IBS. That, combined with a hernia I didn't know I had, almost killed me.

    I spent a decade back living with my parents in my 30s trying to figure it out, get healthy, and rebuild my life again.

    Then my job became taking care of my mom while she died.

    I kept myself sane with gaming, and did a favor for a local on the game Kingdom of Loathing. Didn't know he was a local at the time, but as thanks he gifted me some pot plants.

    That gave me a stake. My dad and I raised and sold those and pulled ourselves away from financial ruin.

    At the same time a woman on that game took an interest in me and it got very serious very fast... because I was desperate and she was insane.

    Once I pulled myself away from that I looked to dating sites and met my now wife.

    As her sister has IBS, she was able to recognize that my condition was worse than just IBS alone. Because I was on public assistance at that time I was able to get the surgery and start recovering.

    Problem is that I'd spent a decade training myself to panic when I needed to shit. And I've largely dialed that back, helping my other anxieties in the process.

    We've been married a decade. I have a crappy corporate job that's WFH so I love that. My own toilet and food makes my daily anxieties easier to cope with, and I hang out with my pets all day.

  • She had to get shaved

    Jump

  • We once had a cat, Mojo, who got terribly matted like that once and we found out she loved to be shaved.

    My wife is a vet tech and would bring her in for the new employees to practice trimming. She would lean into the trimmer and purr the whole time.

    Here's Mojo with her Mojohawk:

  • What obsolete knowledge do you know by heart, and would like to share?

    Jump

  • SPISPOPD stands for 'Smashing pumpkins into small piles of putrid debris'.

    Back in the usenet days I remember someone making a crappy freeware game with that title.

    That's right, a cheat code in a game inspired the creation of another game.

  • 'Stomachs turn': Ex-lawmaker flags Trump action that ​'should send shivers up your spine'

    Jump

  • Fucking clickbait nonsense. Tell me what was done, not how I should fucking feel about the thing you didn't tell me.

  • If time travel were to exist, which theory would you subscribe to?

  • What's up with my dogs eye?

    Jump

  • She says when it's an eye thing, go in to be safe. It can get bad quickly.

  • My wife is a vet tech, I'll ask her tonight for an opinion.

  • What sensory thing(s) annoy you?

    Jump

  • Children.

  • What is your favourite episode of a TV show, and why?

    Jump

  • That's also why I can say I didn't care about the show that episode is a part of.

    It stands on its own, and it could have been a footnote, or a few lines. A heartfelt scene, some light sorrow.

    I'm so glad they chose to give it a full episode.
