Seeing the other post here about YouTuber that went downhill and seeing content creators I am familiar with makes me sad. But how about those that still makes great, high quality content?
I’ll go first. Mine is that I can’t stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It’s like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds
With the return of Mel and the mention of Sabalom Glitz, I decided to go back and watch Trial of a Time Lord. I marathoned all 14 episodes with fairly fresh eyes, I had not watched it in well over a decade. Each story is honestly super well put together, and the stories themselves are pretty interesting sci-fi on their own standing. The way the trial is woven into the stories, the edits, the way characters act “out of character” when in parts that had been manipulated within the Time Lord Matrix, feels well ahead of its time for 1986 television. also, it feels like a waste to have The Valeyard pop up and not be dead at the end, and then we never see him again. Like, that was a huge reveal. The Valeyard is actually The Doctor, but only his dark side, and is looking to eliminate his virtuous half. That honestly sounds like something straight out of modern Dr. Who. I’d always hoped we would see more of him.
I had heard that this season was not well liked, and that Colin Baker was partially to blame for being not very popular as The Doctor… But I dunno. This season feels like an amazing season. I think it’s a shame Baker didn’t get one more season as was originally planned.
Lol I know! Man. In the 80’s, we had VHS copies my aunt had taped off late night PBS and our recording of Time and The Rani started late, with the Rani entering the TARDIS and we didn’t see the crash. I distinctly remember being VERY confused! But now it all makes sense! Carrot juice! Damn it, Mel!
So I just jumped ahead today and watched Dragonfire, and wow, I forgot how sudden Mel’s decision to leave with Glitz was. So hard headed! She did not want to be second fiddle to the Doc or anyone. You could call it rushed writing, but it somehow enhances her character a lot now with the context of what she said in The Giggle.
I hope we see a lot more of her and UNIT in the next season.
Looping back, I just had a thought… Doesn’t the existence of “Bi-generation” where a Time Lord can split into two entities create a strong case for the origin of The Valeyard? What if Doc 10 bi-generates again, and out comes The Valeyard? He was described as “somewhere between your 12th and final incarnation” back when 13 was the natural number of lives. With The War Doctor, we knew Tennant to actually be 11, but then he also did a weird half regeneration thing as well, didn’t he? That would put his number at 12. And now he is back. Primed to perhaps become The Valeyard as some part of him inside becomes dissatisfied with the domestic life he’s now chosen.
As much weird timeline bending as they’ve done, Bi-generation could possibly explain a lot. Remember when 2 met with the Brigadier in The Five Doctors? He clearly knew all about 3 and was talking shit about how he “was not too pleased with his replacement” as if he had already regenerated yet also somehow kept living as 2 for a bit. “I’m not exactly breaking the laws of time, but I am bending them a bit.”
Plastic seals food, sterile medical implements, medicine, beverages, etc… it’s seems like plastic is used as a way to seal things safely. Post pandemic rising, I see even more. My work used to be have plastic utensils in the cafeteria, for example, an already wasteful thing. Now, post-2020, every fork, knife, and spoon is...
Glorified break room with a shop area, convenience store food/snacks. Sometimes catering comes in from places but otherwise, yep, big break room. I never use their awful cutlery. I’ve been known to purchase pizza rolls because yum. And hey, those come.in a totally cardboard container lol
Bad news, quesarito is no more. The closest we have now is the grilled cheese burrito which is basically a burrito with cheese grilled onto the outside.
Does “his own vomit” count? I found him behind a table munching and crunching on something. Turns out he had thrown up there at some point, it went unnoticed, dried, and he was eating little dried bits of chewed up “party mix” snacks.
Edit: seriously tho. I never wanted to believe the band members were racist or anything. The song Rise was always my go to to show people how inclusive they wanted to be. “Taught when we’re young to hate one another, it’s time to have a new reign of power. Make pride universal so no one gives in, turn out backs on those who oppose”
I always thought that song especially was saying “we must not hate one another. We must all be proud of who we are and turn our backs on those who continue to hate.” I may need to do some deeper thinking about it all. I have not listened to them in many years. Dimebag dying legit hurt.

Thank you. I am a 2-3 day showerer as well. I do wash my face every day, wash my hands regularly of course, and wear antiperspirant deodorant. I tend to shower when my hair has finally become oily enough that it’s noticable, of if I start smelling bad, but my body somehow doesn’t produce much of a smell. It’s not that I’m just used to my own smell, I’ve had it confirmed by plenty of people. Even on day 3, I’m generally fresh. I do try to put a hard day 3 limit on myself, though. Times when I’ve pushed it to 4 days have not been so great lol
Me, who works for an ISP repair department having to explain to a panicking customer, in a nice way, that they are not special because they work from home and the technician that isn’t available until tomorrow is what they’re going to have to deal with until such a time as technicians drive fucking ambulances and their shitty job that will apparently fire them at the drop of a hat has no tolerance for technical issues pulls the stick out of their ass. Or maybe demand the boss pay for a dedicated business line for working from home if they are so worried about it.
I theorize a good percentage of the truly panicked “I WORK FROM HOME, I WILL LOSE MY JOB” people regularly unplug their modems when they want an extra break and now that it’s actually broken, they’re at the limit of what the boss will put up with.
Or just sit and relax. I feel like people have lost this during my lifetime. Ive never lost the ability to just take a deep breath, lean back, and enjoy some quiet. I mean, if I was WANTING to watch a movie or something, there would be disappointment, but if the reason I can’t is beyond my control, it’s a waste of time to dwell on it and be upset. Right?
Better ear cleaning tools exist. They are little plastic scoops. I used to use a bent paperclip. Basically anything you can put into the ear canal and then pull/scoop/scrape earwax out is far better than a qtip, which only compacts wax into clumps. The one good use case for the qtip is drying. They can absorb water well inside the ear canal and belly button. I personally use them on my navel after showering since I have an “innie”
I work in a call center where I wear headphones for 8 hours. I also game online and wear headphones at home for an hour or two each day. I am a very oily person. My ears DO NOT self-clean, as you say, given my situation. I use a peroxide ear drop every few weeks to cut down the buildup nowadays, then flush with an ear syringe. You can’t make generalizations. People should get to know their bodies and stay healthy. If I do not do these things I just described, by the way, I start to lose hearing after a few months.
I honestly appreciated some of the tongue in cheek self awareness of the 4th movie, but it was overall just another long series of action sequences. The first movie was a movie with mystery and a story to it beyond contrived excuses to use bullet time. The sequels are very low on substance. Not a big fan.
Would love to know what you guys think and your reasoning for it. I’m starting to see a lot of Apple Watches/Fitbits/Galaxy Watches in my area compared to more traditional timepieces.

That and monetary issues. The “temporarily embarrassed millionaires” out there who want to keep R in power so when they finally get rich, they won’t have to pay taxes.
I don’t think so. You just want to pick the right tool for your system. With modern uefi boot systems, systemd-boot is simpler and quicker. There are use cases for grub, such as if you have the kernal outside of an efi partition.
Systemd-boot is my personal preference, boots fast, is unintrusive, and you never have to rebuild anything to make changes.
In the end, everyone is free to use what they want. That’s the beauty of Linux.
Nowadays I find a lot of games feel like too much work and/or anxiety when I just want to relax for like, 30 minutes to an hour after a long day. On the other hand, the games specifically designed to help you unwind just feel boring imo....
Yep! There’s a box you click for advanced options or something like that when creating your world, and you can enable the use of various cheat toggles such as flying, God mode, all tech unlocked, zero cost everything
I want to create a fitness channel for fat people so I can feed off their engagement to keep myself engaged in fitness so I can be not fat, but then I would be a skinny guy with a fitness channel and there’s lots of those 🤔
