  • They also probably have a personal account that they can use as a discretionary fund for whatever they individually want to do.

  • The buttons I am referring to are on the sides of the phone and are physical buttons.

  • Wall-E

  • They still do; at least on the iPhone 12, there are three buttons: power, volume up, and volume down. Bonus: there is also a toggle switch for silent mode.

  • Help me out: who said, “wildly diverge from the source”? (Quotes were yours)

    Also, actors act based on the script they’re given and through the artistic direction of the director. They do it all the time; it’s their job.

    But, you imply a good point (that I sort of touched on): not everyone likes it. And, I’ll further that sentiment by saying: not everyone has to like it.

    You obviously don’t like it. And that’s okay.

  • Counterpoint:

    Art is interpretive by its nature, and each person has their vision for how it should appear. That said, why would you want to watch something that is a 1:1 of something you’ve already consumed? It’s okay, and often encouraged to stray from the source material.

    Even the creator of Fallout acknowledges this.

    For example — for better or worse — comics exemplify this idea with the many iterations of their superheroes. e.g. Superman originally couldn’t fly. Some are better than others, but in the end we (the fans) get a more rich and diverse world for our imaginations.

  • The Solomon Grundy of ADHD.

  • I am not smart enough to come to my own conclusions about a lot of science, so yes I must believe what the collective scientific community asserts, because I have no other way to prove things that happen. For me, that means putting my faith in their accuracy. So yes, I believe in science.

    It should also be noted that there are people out there that treat science as a religion; that it is infallible, and cannot be changed, and to suggest otherwise is blasphemy. 🤷‍♂️

  • Star Trek is far more than just a show about science. It’s about human endeavor, which is all about emotion.

    So stupid.

    Did you mean “Illogical”? 🖖

  • 🤷‍♂️

  • It’s not about changing the Republican vote. They’re worried that Democrats will start coming out and voting in off-cycle elections (e.g. midterms), which is not something a lot of Democrats do regularly.

    If Democrats voted as often as Republicans, we’d have a whole different political landscape right now. That’s why they’re worried.

  • Thanks. I forgot about reverse image searching. I found their Etsy shop and ordered me a print.

  • Everything beats this. Even an old leathery shoe.

  • Is it even a bar (standard) anymore of it’s low enough to be laying on the ground?

  • Don’t forget AI, for a toilet.

  • For me it’s merely because I cannot concentrate with the noise of whatever ringtone is playing (any ringtone).

  • Yep

  • What? He ended his almost incoherent sentence with a period.

  • Interesting. DS9 would’ve been more to your liking then. The Borg were only in the first episode as one or two scenes to set up Sisko’s character arch. After that, it’s mostly new races, and more advanced development of existing boring races (i.e. Ferringhi, Bajorians).

  • So I might have fucked up last week:

    I have been contemplating buying a new couch for my house. It being Thanksgiving, I figured this was the best time so I could save some money. So I hopped in my car and went and bought a new couch.

    I also decided this would be a good time to rearrange my living room the way I wanted it to be (for the new couch). This meant halving two builtins to accommodate my very large TV stand. My thought process was that I could remove half the builtins without having to remove them completely; I was wrong. Boy, was I wrong.

    Not only am I going to have to build all new builtins, but also:

    1. Left an inch gap between the ceiling drywall and the wall
    2. I must’ve cracked the ceiling drywall removing a builtin, so I need to patch the ceiling (its a popcorn ceiling)
    3. The carpet under the builtins is not the same carpet as my living room
    4. The builtins were painted after they were installed — including the wall behind the builtins (i.e. there was no backing to the builtins)
    5. The window on that wall is not centered in the room (in fact, I don’t think anything in that house — window, fireplace — are centered)

    So yeah, I can’t help but wonder how many years it’ll be before I fix my living room.

    All because of a fucking couch. 🤦‍♂️
