  • I didn't make this meme, so that stuck out for me too. Godzilla, or maybe Dragonzord, would have come to my mind first as a kid.

  • In your face

  • Congrats on the win! Pick something good.

  • Parenting

    Jump

  • That's a funny way to put it. I've always heard (in the US) "it'll hurt your eyes" in more general terms.

  • Jucika and friends at the potluck ball

    My point is just that even the best meds out there can't make you feel like your dad is proud of you, or that you have a loving family, or that your day to day work is meaningful to people. It's beyond the scope of modern psychiatric medicine, even though all of our mental existence is chemical.

  • I think what we call happiness is comprised of more than what drugs can stimulate.

    Life satisfaction, purpose, reciprocated love and connection, etc. - these are all things that are more cerebral than what even the best chemical cocktail can offer.

  • His comics are so colorful and pleasant to look at.

  • Jucika and the canning

    Jump

  • Yeah, I definitely feel like I'm missing some cultural piece here. Maybe some sort of known seasonal event?

    (edit: I'm probably reading too much into "the canning" and it's just a market or something where people are canning food like normal.)

  • Put it on the viewscreen

  • I like to imagine that Spock has some sort of idiosyncratic, yet logical reason for doing it. Like, maybe the exact measurement is microscopically closer to either a clean metric vs imperial integer.
