“Beg for the recipe, worm”

Wait, is two tabs unusual? Like sure the default among my friends was one, but two is for when you really want to experience it and is more for constructive trips or to hallucinate and three is for when you need even more but you’re playing with fire there

Better than mine

Oh I historically struggle with that too. I’ve found that talking with my wife on my way to therapy and spending the day before thinking about what I’m struggling with has really helped. You might also find value in taking notes of things to address whenever you have a mental issue.

The big thing is I instinctively want to downplay all my issues and I struggle with answering things on the spot. The conversation on the way there makes me already in a talkative mood, and if I’ve had a day or two of thinking about it in advance I at least know something that’s on my mind.

So long as I have enough I prioritize work life balance. If my wife wanted kids, that would ironically push me more towards climbing the latter harder to provide for them, but as it stands I don’t need to push hard on the corporate ladder to have enough, more would be nice, but not nicer than more time with my hobbies and loved ones

Idk back when I was in college we fucked each other /s

The report number is very important. Cops want to brush off stuff that involves protecting people in my experience, buy having evidence of all this is vital if he starts stalking or something like that. He’s unlikely to escalate directly to shooting, but he is at risk of escalation

It’s an understandable mistake, but it’s also one of those things that gets drilled into you while learning English. I’m all for breaking rules in English when it’s beneficial to the tone, meaning, or something else. But it’s just a confusing error that does nothing to justify its use.

Yeah you pick it up fairly quickly if you play any conducted music. Especially because a lot of the gestures make a lot of sense. The beats are a pattern with beats to them and the common signatures you get a feel for. But like it doesn’t take a genius to figure out that if the conductor is doing a rising motion at your section you should be playing louder and if it’s increasingly frantic you should be increasingly loud until the hands either come together in a beat (loud finishing note) or they’re separated in a way that will either signal to hold or to fade, or they’ll just start doing a lowering motion to tell you to start piping down. It’s all meant to be very intuitive

That’s how I do it. I love some makeup styles, but I like it bold and if I’m not going bold I may as well just not wear any

Yeah Americans being introspective? The whole world would notice

Carabiner on a belt loop

V speaks of anarchy as having two roles: destroyer and creator, as he teaches Evey to create and he destroys. Additionally he describes anarchy as the order to be contrasted to the chaos immediately after his destruction of norsefire’s control.

As for that quote, I’m struggling to find evidence it was in the comic (I never actually watched the movie). The wikiquote for the comic doesn’t have that line, but the one for the movie does, and the comic one instead has a lot of V explaining anarchy to anyone whether or not they’re interested in listening.

The comic is very explicitly about British anarchism against British fascism, whereas the movie is a lot more about George W Bush, the patriot act, and the left wing opposition to these things in the America of the early and mid 00s

Oh absolutely, and I’m going into it knowing I’m about to see the opposite of Picard, that’s why I see it as a palate cleanser lol. My expectation for Kirk is what if the Riker we see in season 1 was a captain, but less of a feminist. Like, I’m expecting him to be feminist by 60s standards, but Riker is over here being feminist by 90s standards. And that’s ok, I love Riker as a character as well.

See, that’s what I love about Picard. He’s a man who deeply believes in the value of morality and the difficulty of maintaining it and effective leadership. It shines through to every aspect of who he is. We see a man who was once a rambunctious youth, once was an overly ambitious officer, and now is tempered and weathered by mistakes and failures and knows that starfleet succeeds or fails on the behaviors of people like him. I find him incredibly relatable and eminently admirable in this struggle.

I haven’t gotten to ds9 or voyager yet, but this thread is making me glad I’m going to tos after I finish tng. It will serve as a palate cleanser

So magnetic tape (tape cassettes, VHS/Betamax, 8 tracks, etc) is powdered iron (II) oxide and works by being magnetized to write data to it. So yeah. Quick search revealed it’s totally a thing and you can buy it, primarily in industrial quantities.

As for a magnetic table, you don’t even need it powdered, hell you could probably just get two stainless steel sheets, four stainless steel strips, a matrix with holes in the proper positions, and a bunch of high powered small permanent magnets and make your own magnetic table without it being that difficult to make
