I have, but that has nothing to do with my previous comment. My friend, your original post (that you have now edited, don’t move the goalposts just because you want to fight) made broad generalizations. My comment was an attempt to help you learn how to reflect and be critical about your beliefs: I thought that might be something a user with the name “open_mind” would appreciate. Fuck me, right? Well done on showing everyone what an open mind you have. Learn how to question yourself when you feel like fighting and spreading negativity. Just because others didn’t react the way you expected doesn’t make them wrong or bad, and being a dick to someone who was trying to have a constructive conversation is spreading negativity–what you were originally complaining about.

Part of having an open mind is trying to consider your personal biases and where you lack knowledge and expertise. One of the reasons you are getting negative responses is that you stated a very broad generalization that simply isn’t true. Life is not black and white, it is grey and invincible against simple explanations.

Of course! I hope you find a way to enjoy Who. It is a lovely universe. The other idea would be to look into Big Finish audio—they do a lot of interesting Who stuff.

Well, I appreciate your perseverance! I certainly hope we get some kind of resolution, or at least the color wears off and we all just forget about it. I really don’t want this to become a trend.

Well, I am glad(?) it just seems to be the one. Did anything come of the idea that it could be deicing solution from a plane? I kind of checked out of this drama for a bit.

If you like the lore but watching it makes you want to stab your eyes out, look into the Target novelisations. They are mostly faithful to what was on the TV, and you get to use your imagination instead of BBC’s production values. They were usually written by the same person who wrote the script. I actually prefer the novels for several stories and was really, really disappointed when I finally had a chance to see them. A big bonus is the Target books are pretty cheap and easy to find used.

This is so crazy. This picture looks just like the OP… please tell me this could still be the same single snowy and this isn’t becoming a thing people do to snowies…

It’s definitely something that you have to grow up with. I was lucky to have an uncle who was obsessed with The Fourth Doctor when I was a child, and my love of the show comes from that. I wish some of the older stuff could be redone: it’s unwatchable for many because it was made for an audience who had tiny black and white TVs and a great deal more patience.

At least for me:

Dr. Who (First through Fifth Doctor mostly)

Original Star Trek

Star Trek: TNG

Star Trek: Voyager

Star Trek: DS9

Yes! Totally. Exact same energy. Must be a predator thing, and why I love cats and owls so much. That kind of vigilance definitely speaks to me: “Shall I kill you? No. Not now. I shall conserve my energy until I must kill.”

He looks sleepy, but it is probably just how his face is… kind of like I’m not bitchy, that’s just how my face is. But he looks so snuggly and stuff. I think the kids today are calling it… eepy?

I get it: I have been called a “Debbie Downer” for spitting facts and trivia after a joke… I’m sorry, I thought it was interesting, sorry they didn’t. I think some people just have a different relationship with learning and knowledge. They seem to find it a negative grind, and that sucks. At least to me.

I am always delighted to get both a laugh and some knowledge. I remember when you first discussed owls’ eating habits and water consumption, but getting a refresher is great. I don’t understand people who get mad about reposts, unless they are hideously egregious. Furthermore, there are always new people, like you say, who haven’t had the pleasure of learning about it the first time.

Keep up the great work, anon! It is always a pleasure when you come across my feed. I hope to contribute more to the community as I can. It is really hard to get out of the habit of lurking.

You are the best, anon. Thank you for always educating me!

Holy crap! That is hilarious and awesome. This guy went to a lot of work to edit this together… Part one is 24 hours! I’m set for awhile. Thanks so much.

“Theresa’s Sound World” by Sonic Youth is the first to come to mind. The whole of Daydream Nation could probably count, honestly.

“Everything in its Right Place” by Radiohead (edit: idiot autocorrect) is another one I’ve often taken an audio bath in. Much of that album works too. I just hate the final song.

Sadly, Star Wars mostly just reflects one single white man’s subconscious understanding of that culture (George Lucas). Just in the fact that Trek was written by many (yes, Roddenberry was very important but not the only voice) makes it more interesting, at least to me.

Concocting a magnificent feast for some very dear friends tomorrow night. Hopefully, the weather cooperates and I can do steaks on the grill. Kind of nervous because I want it to go well and the food to be delicious. Otherwise reading and writing, probably some lemmy, and whatever else I want!

Hey there, your link isn’t working because the exclamation point is connected to the previous word. Yes, I know how to get there otherwise, but it might help others.

I keep seeing your username, and I just have to tell you I love it. I have now spent time considering the implications of a sentient loom, and I will continue to do so because they are so vast. Thank you.

I really enjoy sharing my knowledge of writing, academia, law, literature, and history. I am a complete dumbass in many ways, but it’s because I put all my points into those topics on the character making screen before start.

I cannot remember what 7x8 equals for sure, but I am a wizard at helping students sort out what colleges to apply to, how to write their essays to best present themselves to universities, and then what school they should go to once they are accepted. I can make teenagers love Dante and Shakespeare, Homer and Twain. I have a stupidly deep knowledge of London…ok, too much sharing, I will stop!
