Here’s why that’s a [evaluative adjective] thing.

I’d probably still be at the emerald grove if they hadn’t limited the number of Scratch’s pets per interaction.

Two of the derailed cars were carrying molten sulfur, which caught fire after the cars were breached… it is believed that the fire is releasing sulfer dioxide

Sulfer dioxide is pretty nasty on a person’s throat and sinuses to breathe and can make fluid build up in the lungs, and it can have longer-term effects if the exposure is sustained.

A little molten sulfur never hurt anybody!

Decent quality automatic cat feeders.

We have 3 cats, and I resisted getting autofeeders for 5 years because it felt silly to buy what amounts to three $75 food bowls.

They paid for themselves the first weekend I didn’t have 3 razor sharp dickheads screaming at me to feed them at 5:15 AM. I should have bought them years ago.

We’ve done that for 70 or 80 years. Like the saying goes, “do what you love, and you’ll eventually become a global hegemon, weilding your influence like a club and keeping your boot on the neck of the majority of the planet, both economically and militarily.”

Mom always said that.

I wonder how much difference one Stinger SAM would have made at Blair Mountain in 1921.

Vanguard says they can thank the retirement industry for that.

My mom got me this “protection” charm from a woo-ass lady at a farmer’s market once. It was cool looking, so I wore it on a tight necklace that couldn’t slip over my head, and I never took it off.

A couple years later, I was in a nasty rollover car accident that could easily have killed me. I walked away only mildly banged up. I realized later that day that the necklace was gone. I scoured the car and even went to the crash site looking for it. Never saw the thing again.

Of course it is. I’m not a monster.

Paths of Glory is 10/10 stuff. So good.

I didn’t see your Timecrimes rec before posting mine. It’s so well done & I want everyone to see it!

I’m not usually into anime, but Perfect Blue captivated me from the start. Its whole vibe was so engrossing.

I’ll check out some other Satoshi Kon titles. PB is all I’ve seen so far. Any specific recommendations?

Sci-Fi

Timecrimes

The McPherson Tape

The Dead Zone (not that lesser known, but old enough that maybe it’s getting that way)

Animation

A Town Called Panic

Perfect Blue

Comedy

It’s a Disaster

One, Two, Three (might be better known than I think, since it’s a Billy Wilder movie)

Coherence is fantastic!

Well, we’re a few thousand miles apart, so the pancakes bit might not be feasible lol. On any fun discord servers?

Nah, that one’s true.

Do you live in the US? If so, what region? Wanna go to a movie sometime and then get pancakes & talk about said movie?

I wouldn’t say that I have zero friends, but I certainly don’t have the social circle I wish I had. That worries me for my own future. I’m gonna die someday, and I don’t want to slip into the abyss feeling totally alone.

And the fact that I don’t seem to be an outlier makes me worried for the future health and resiliency of entire communities.

The expanding prevalence of loneliness
