Off-topic, but wow. That cookie permission pop-up is pure cancer.

I figured Gen Z is the lemon in this case.

So, it took a lot of effort, but I cut it down quite a bit to what I think are the most important parts.

I related to this on a visceral level. Brevity is hard.

There it is. Was wondering if there was any relation, to the point where I had half a mind to look it up myself. Thanks for saving me the trouble.

It’s nepotism and cronyism all the way down.

It’s easier to bamboozle someone than to convince them they’ve been bamboozled.

Her brain sure isn’t.

I think you just described “business” in general.

They’re in cahoots with the frogs.

Agreed on like 90% of your takes. The “real”-feeling near-future sci-fi was excellent. And the thought put towards the physics was very much appreciated. Where we diverge a bit is on the romance track. I didn’t have an issue with the direction, and was actively rooting for them. Their affection felt organic and natural.

I’ve had a hankering to re-watch lately. I’ve got the DVDs, and they will do in a pinch, but it’s hard to go back to SD anymore. Last I checked the show was in rights purgatory, with no discs in print or a way to stream it. Maybe I’ll finally get around to reading the manga.

Next headline: “The economy is doing super duper awesomesauce but Americans keep saying shit’s fucked: Economists baffled”

One would think a legal name change would have been in their top 5 things-to-do-after-the-war list.

Spoiler: he did.

I’d also spend a month researching the exact perfect router

Every time I do this I come away disgusted with how trash most technology is and just how awful manufacturers are willing to make the experience just to get those precious data harvesting bucks. See also: this thread. Womp womp.

Successfully pulling off a lift-and-move like that was huge. I wish more niche/fandoms had followed suit instead of staying put.

Seconded, and same for thumbnails while scrolling. In gif-heavy communities it just bogs things down.

Just some horse balls is all.

Those went into the peach cobbler.

And just think, rural Oregon aspires to be under Idaho’s stewardship.

Oh, no mockery intended on my part. I was just trying to make sure all of the elements got equal representation.
