Dear asteroidists (asteroid believers)
If asteroids are real then why haven’t I gotten any?

Once again, proof we have strayed too far from God’s light.

Lol. Yeah, you got the most edgy cartoons. Congrats, you won life.

Lol, sorry! Didn’t realize which conversation that was in when I replied.

OK, to be fair, Tramp was a dog, not a man.
Still, yeah, the plots are similar enough that James Cameron might as well have just put bookends on this about a boat and been good to go.
- Comment on be a friend to the animals 4 days ago:
Yeah, the musical episode was hot garbage. And the one with the drone swarm… Well shit, why didn’t everyone do that?
Still, dunno, just have a soft spot for it

The live action one? I’m all on on that.
- Comment on be a friend to the animals 5 days ago:
You’re right.
I do love 65% of SNW, though.
- Comment on be a friend to the animals 5 days ago:
Better? Or same?
- Comment on be a friend to the animals 5 days ago:
Not really, but it’s a nostalgia watch for me. It wasn’t an issue when I watched it the first time, and it’s more about what the cast was doing. Wheadon didn’t even write or direct every episode, so it’s hard to really say he ruined every moment of work from maybe a hundred or so people.

Giraffes are soooooooo weird. They act like spooky space aliens.
I once watched 9 walk in a row for about a half a mile to a tree. Then circle the tree and all 9 just stare at it and sort of…wobble their heads back and forth for like 5-10 minutes. Then just keep waking in the same direction.
Plus, they will absolutely whip their heads and can and will straight up kill a bitch.

Yeah, I keep turning myself on. Helps for a few minutes, but then I’m stressed even more about the mess!

Yeah, brittleness of a stone makes sense for a break like that.
- Comment on green salad fingers 1 week ago:
The whole “copper absorbs impurities” thing is a long-lasting trope. Copper is very soft and doesn’t break like this. Certainly not a ring in half. The matte out is MS Paint to connect 2 probably unrelated images.

And so when Jesus makes his way back to El Norte, my Mom goes to heaven.
What a silly religion.

Hey. My Mom voted for Trump to accelerate the Second Coming of Jesus.

Basically, yeah. That was my math as well. The irony was thick.
- Comment on Slow ass apocalypse 3 weeks ago:
A Boomer family member that voted for this shitshow told me the other day I was right that my version of societal collapse, a slow crumbling as everything falls apart, was what was happening.
I meant like over 30 years. I’d hate to know what they think a speedrun would look like
- Comment on Better safe than sorry 3 weeks ago:
That’s not what I’m saying. I’m saying that the most basic of math should be as basic as reading. Something that anyone can do themselves.
Do you honestly think that for the rest of your life every moment will let a calculator or ChatGPT help you have every interaction you have? People are perfectly capable of basic math.
- Comment on Better safe than sorry 3 weeks ago:
No, I’m here in good faith.
Being alarmed, I suppose, would be the subjective assessment that this isn’t too far off from all the cognitive decline correlated to excessive use of AI. It’s an extrapolation, sure, but similar.
It’s lovely to think that a phone will always be right on us all, for the rest of our lives. IRL, shit happens. Sometimes people sometimes just dug a calf out of a pond, theor phone got soaked, and still need to divide 250 lbs of fertilizer by 10 barrels and not be seized by indecision because there’s not a cell phone around.
- Comment on Better safe than sorry 3 weeks ago:
The issue is that the floor on confidence in knowledge is now basically nothing.
Why is it that 8th graders in 1990 could do solid algebra and polynomials on paper and not need help? Nothing about the math has changed.
Slide rules do not do basic math, that’s a poor comparison. People that did higher math on slide rules only used it for part of the problem dealing with logarithms, and that was a shorthand for larger approximation tables in books. That’s necessary help. Solving for 2+2 is not. That’s for little children that count on their fingers. If you’re not in the “WTF?” camp, you’re part of the problem.
- Comment on Better safe than sorry 3 weeks ago:
I saw that. It’s fucking breathtaking, the apologists for stupidity.
If I go start an account on a .ml instance and claim letters and numbers are colonial, patriarchal constructs and should be eliminated, I’ll be the most popular poster until I accidentally make everyone illiterate out of spite.

- Comment on Landlords are parasites 4 weeks ago:
I know you mean well here, but this is fully bonkers. This is not how friends behave with each other.
They absolutely don’t owe me shit. We lived with them for a month before they moved, all in same house, for free. So there’s money we didn’t spend right there. We shared meals, shared hangovers, and shared their other friends in a place we were just moving to, which is priceless. But if you’re still really worried about money, they sold us their car for well under KBB as well. The guy’s brother and mom were who we called when stuff broke, and who brought us pupusas randomly when they were in the neighborhood. We trust them and they trust us, so we aren’t going to fuck up their house, and we got landlords that respond to shit immediately. I’m not going to ruin a 20+ year relationship with some tankie notions about “oh, bro, you owe me home equity.” And you can trust that anyone doing something like this knows when they have a good thing going without having to explain details.
- Comment on Well do you? 4 weeks ago:
I’m sure there are, but no one needs to be worried about Adams Family cannon.
Might as well spend all your free time worried about Flintstones or Felix the Cat cannon. The people making the media certainly don’t care to follow any of it, it’s not ever going to make sense. Just live in the moment and enjoy it for what it is!

I once rented a house from friends that were out of the country. We paid exactly their mortgage payment (plus utils and I did and paid for handyman level stuff, they covered big stuff), which was $600 a month less than the market rate for places a step down in quality.
Once we left I told them to increase the rent by $200 for higher insurance and a real handyman and whatever else and it’s still a huge favor to anyone they get by word of mouth only. The next couple thought they had won the lottery scoring a place for almost $5000 a year less than the rest of the area.
