Yes, people say antisocial when they mean asocial. The asocial people are those who avoid being around others and/or get exhausted easily in social situations.

I never joined.

I even abandoned a creative project when I found out I'd need to market it there.

Still want to finish it and put it out there though, for the people more than for some money. D&D thing.

What kinds of renovations did you do?

Yeah, if I got that many calls, you'd be 100% correct. I get maybe five calls a week.

Similarly, my ringtone is the dun-Dun-DUNNN from bad mysteries, aka Professor Professorson's ringtone from Community.

I've never seen someone annoyed when mine has gone off in public. I am rarely in public though.

I'm talking about Lemmy bots in general, on any instances.

I view all and have to block bots fairly often as they're posting things in languages I can't read in large amounts.

I think they're supposed to use language tags and are not, but I just block them because of there being a large amount of unhelpful content.

And let's be honest, there's always gonna be a ton of that, hence my filtering. But if the people making bots to post content could make sure the posts are properly marked, I wouldn't need to block them and would continue to see the content they post that I can read.

You can only confirm that you aren't in a collapse by taking drastic action to change course.

So yes, we are in a collapse. We still can't even agree how to begin to try to respond.

None of them do their language settings well.

Two of our four cats often show up in the bathroom when we are showering so we can wet them down with our hands when we get out.

They get all excited for a quick bath from mommy or daddy.

My point was more that some people did the right thing, not that it's enough to eliminate a statistical slump.

Some people of the time would think the Chinese were heartless people to do what they did, and some quietly raised their other children, that's all.

And if even that isn't true, so be it, as I could have fallen for propaganda and cannot locate the original source, but here is another showing that some people didn't just fall in line.

While that definitely happened, the thankful reality is that many families raised their daughters unofficially.

I've never seen Gowron in an episode that I can recall (I'm getting old and never had a great memory), but when he showed up in that 70s hairstyles image, I absolutely lost it.

It's a series of references to a show, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

I can imagine how it's complete gibberish without knowing the context.

Dennis has a dating system where he rates women called D.E.N.N.I.S, and in a separate episode implies that he likes taking women out on his boat, saying they'll put out "because of the implication." (It's a dark sitcom, and they're all broken people failing through life. Some think Dennis really is a serial killer but that implies he has follow through.)

Also, D'awwww means "that's really cute."

And the Awwww is "Awwww shit, now I'm on a boat."

Adding something like that to your negative self talk is a wonderful way to make you realize you're doing it. It's helped me a great deal.

I remember Knight Moves too! Christopher Lambert was never a great actor but I enjoyed watching him work nonetheless.

It was Heinlein taking the "only veterans should be able to vote" to a logical end. A society that's always at war because the ruling class are all military.

The opening pages tell you the reality - land on planets and nuke the bugs, even if there's intelligent life there. And use all those nukes, we don't want to bring those back to the ship. It's heavy and inefficient.

After that, we step into the eyes of a high school student being indoctrinated.

Heinlein wrote the book extremely well, but many fail to see the whole picture. He didn't approve nor disapprove. He just took a stance his father had always held and crafted a world where that was the reality.

I'm a fifty year old man with supportive parents and a good circle of friends... and I still struggle, every day, to like and be at peace with myself.

So not only am I proud of you, and many others in here, be proud of yourself. Give yourself the credit that you know what you didn't get and have persisted throughout your life knowing it should have been better.

I think a program like big brothers / big sisters would be really beneficial to you. You'll get the chance to be for someone else what you never had.

You know the importance of it. Be that light for others. It's a nice feeling.

I'm not a Dad because I always figured I'd be a terrible one. But my wife and I took someone in who needed a ton of help... and I'm not qualified. But now I'm kind of a Dad, and I chose to be. I'm still not a good one but it doesn't much matter because if you're trying, you're likely doing well enough to make a difference and make someone feel valued and worthwhile.

"Bunny! Ball ball!!"

Hudson Hawk.

Bruce Willis and Danny Aiello are cat burglars who synchronize their movements by singing, which does not seem at all subtle or stealthy.

It's batshit insane. But it's also very fun. I saw it in the theater.
