I aim to be more human. I aim to be less apathetic as a human. Apathy grows, like a tree, and I aim to prune my own.

  • Name of the guy leads to name of the sister which could lead to name of the ship she’s deploying with making it clear that ship and its entire compliment will be around. Maybe that’s not the guys name, but with opsec like that there’s a solid chance it’s pretty easy to find out.

    It doesn’t have to be a lot of information to you for it to be a lot of information to the intelligence wing of some other country.




  • My current cats are Tiabeanie and Rayla.

    Tiabeanie is known as bean, bean sprout, sprout town, bean town, beanie baby, beanie butt, baby butt, sproutsalot, lil booger bean, tiny butt, and lady meows.

    Rayla is known as Ray-bay (used to be “Ray-be” like baby, but it sounds like rabies), Rayla banana, banana, bananajam, stinky butt, and various other things when she’s annoying which is an absolute ton. I wouldn’t say banana is in any way related to Rayla name-wise, I started using it as a joke “because banana rhymes with Rayla!” (It doesn’t at all, for you ESL folks)






  • Have you considered a platform like freetube that allows you to fully block shorts?

    I’ve been using it for ages now (desktop application, I use it on Linux, works great), but other platforms for watching YouTube without ads are also likely to have “distraction-free” mode where all that obnoxious shit gets blocked or turned off, like when I view a creator I’m subscribed to the -only- thing that comes up are full-length videos. No community page, no shorts, no playlists and follows, nothing but videos which is what I’m there for.

    You also get the perk of blocking ads and sponsored segments, self promotion, etc. so very nice to use.

    It does break now and then when YouTube updates, but they typically get it working again pretty quickly.








  • Thanks for the suggestion, it probably drives very similarly to my civic, I’ll keep it in mind! But honestly it’s not really something I want to pursue at this point even if it is a dream car thing. Maybe in the future when things are more stable all around, and I can afford to keep it running properly, get it a nice wrap, you know, dream car stuff :)

    For now it can stay in my dreams; I’m gunna either drive my current car into the ground and figure it out whenever I have no choice, or (hooooopefully) pick up a reasonably cheap used EV soon before they get more expensive. I have big power outlets in my garage that a charger could plug right into (town is mostly hydro power, though I have space for a couple small solar panels too and with how much I drive that’s probably more than plenty), and it could work as a battery backup for certain things in power failures. Win win.


  • My dream car is a T-top, any make/model, and afaik the only vehicle even remotely in my price range that has a T-top option and isn’t old as shit is a corvette. I priced it out well over a decade ago and it would cost more than my house did just a couple years prior…

    Yep, doubt I could ever justify that even if I had that kind of money, just because of the mental money breakdown of what a car should cost relative to a house…

    What’s sad is fast forward to today and just about -any- new car is in that same price range… yet my wages never really increased by that much… hmm…


  • Then you might like mists of Avalon :) it’s about powerful women and their role in common lore, though it’s fiction :) it was written by a woman if that helps, Marion zimmer Bradley (why I remember that is unknown, but I do. I misplaced my copy many many moves ago)

    Either way I wish you luck on your hunt! That’s the only thing I know of that might work, sorry I can’t suggest further!



  • I recently watched another life, and if I were to judge those people as though they were people I could be friends with, I’d hate all of them and probably try to dump them out an airlock. Their reactions are wildly over the top and just unrealistic.

    But as a show, I really enjoyed the constant soap-opera-style ramping up of stakes and events. It was just nonstop poor decisions resulting in drama.

    It got canceled after the second season so I’m guessing I was in the minority about enjoying the presentation…
