  Isn’t he 26? He’s not old enough.

  My aunt’s kid is my cousin. My cousin’s kid and my kid are second cousins.

  It’s essentially finding the most recent common ancestor. My cousins and I share grandparents. Second cousins share great-grandparents, and so on.

  “Once removed” and such refers to generational differences. So, my first cousin’s kid is my first cousin once removed, and my kid’s second cousin.

  41 and had to look it up. My parents watched that show though! I remember that they watched it but nothing else about it.

  He deserved better than what he got. Sadly seems to be a recurring theme for him. See also: Witcher, Man from UNCLE.

  Think we’ll actually get to see this one?

  WOW. I live relatively near an active base and occasionally these beasts will fly overhead. I had no idea they were capable of literally flying through hurricanes; that is extra badass. I’m not really an aircraft enthusiast or anything but it still gives me a bit of a thrill to hear them thundering overhead.

  (I have not seen them but) I feel Pierce Brosnan was born at the wrong time. So much of the cinema in the 90s was so campy. Just comparing 90s Bond to modern Bond, there’s a big difference in tone. Then again, maybe it’s actually his preference; he did do Mamma Mia after all. I can just imagine him as a more serious actor and would love to see it. How does the Thomas Crowne Affair rank in that way?

  As someone who always spells it wrong, I must tell you how much I appreciate “fuhshchias”

  Also hummingbirds love my fuchsias.

  Also people love Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool, or at least we used to. I’m sure some people are tired of the schtick but he does love the character. Hugh Jackman is also a highly respected Wolverine. So I think that’s part of it.

  Please tell me about any sewing-related communities you’re subbed to because I want to make sure I am also subbed to them! (I love linen)

  I don’t know anything about Travis Knight, but Piranesi and Laika seems like a match made in heaven.

  Considering the article title only mentions HP plus the fact that they’re talking about it at all, I think you might be right.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is lemmy now what reddit used to be 10+ years ago?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Regarding stickiness, perhaps it’s because the internet is ubiquitous now. Fifteen years ago, those of us on Fark and Digg and Reddit came to the internet for a lot of things. Notably, we kept in touch with friends that way (MySpace and Facebook) and in particular, we got our news that way. My parents were incredulous forever and still kinda are that I “don’t watch the evening news.” Now everyone uses it for everything. The big difference is that the early adopters are naturally more open to change because they adopted something that was a change. The rest of the population was slowly pushed into it. Now they don’t want to leave the sites that they’re used to (e.g. Reddit and Facebook) because they aren’t that open to change in the first place.

  Even walking barefoot seems like it would be painful!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I breathe quietly through my nose?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If your normal breathing is really that audible, it might be worth checking with a doctor. You could have something going on, even as simple as a deviated septum or something like that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Strange New Worlds⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a much happier existence, not being picky. I’m with you.

  Ah sorry!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It took me 16 years to figure out why I hated a Journey song. What song did yiu hate untim yiu figured out why?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Music nerd here so bear with me.

  I liked Third Eye Blind when I first heard them, probably as a teen? (I’m an older millennial.) But then every song they released afterward sounded the same and I couldn’t stand them anymore. I took enough music theory (read: too much, I have degrees) so I was able to figure out why. They lean hard on singing on the third scale degree over a IV chord, which I suppose you could claim is a IV7, but their melody is always on the third. So yeah. I think they’re hacks without any ideas except that one. I get why people think they’re catchy though.
