Hmm… that sounds potentially interesting… young Frankenstein was one of my moms favorites, so I’ve seen it many times.
And at least it’s not a remake/reboot/spinoff/ripoff of something from the last 30 years. That’s a breath of fresh air. Much as it can be for a reboot/spinoff.
Thanks for this!
Well I spent the time between when I posted and when you replied looking into various things related to tor, legality, and snowflake more specifically, as well as a bit after your reply since you gave me a couple extra things to look into… (like if there’s a risk of running alongside self-host software like Plex and jellyfin, I didn’t find anything about it so I sort of assume it’s fine…?)…
I didn’t see anything overly bad other than if you yourself use tor, maybe, so took the plunge and… have had a whole two connections already, so yay, I’m a snowflake!
I feel slightly better about myself, like when I started using BOINC crowdsource computing for research in the early noughties. :)
Oh idk about that… parents are willing to pay an awful lot in treatment in hopes of keeping their kid alive…
I think they need both, short and long term profits, you know?
Space news really makes up for a lot of the other news floating around these days…
This is really neat! I guess I didn’t realize JWST was doing planet hunting.
I’m willing to do this but frankly tor intimidates me big time. I don’t know anything about it other than……. Yep that’s it.
I read through the mastodon post, and the project page, and cumulatively I didn’t get any answers that, like, make me feel better.
I assume this is a dark web node sort of thing? Is it safe for me to run the browser extension (idk shit about docker and don’t really want to learn rn), like I’m not putting a target on myself or anything? If yes to question 1, but no to question 2, what does put a target?
I watched an interesting video the other day that purports to answer that question.
The way this dude describes his medical issues… could have been me, tho mine are slightly different.

(Tl;dw - it’s stress and anxiety from always being on, masking, and failing to fit properly)
Cheese and beer. No contest. Everyone would.
For sure, the cringe of the office is unbearable, and I have no idea who you named… other than knowing they were in the show…? I tried so hard to try to like it that sucks so hard to have people all like “no but give it time!” …bitch… I did give it time… I even tried the UK version and it’s the exact same thing with different people.
Same with always sunny (sans UK version, I doubt that exists… it wouldn’t translate…)… I can’t get past the first impression, the gang gets racist… like ok, this clearly has nothing for me…?
Maybe it does, but I’ll never honestly be able to get past the start to know (other than memes, I know many of those bits)
Yeah, that shit.
That’s exactly it, and where I stopped because omfg who does that…???
Nobody with normal human motivations, that’s who.
I have the same problem with stuff. Can you, um… anti-suggest?
Like suggest things I should avoid that hit those same tropes that made bb unwatchable for me…?
Idk man, as a science communicator, I watched it and thought it sucked. I know enough about any science field to explain to laypeople, but not enough to properly engage experts usually. I try, but my specialty is breadth, not depth.
It’s not a bad show per se, but it’s a bad show, imho, as far as normal human motivations are concerned. Who gets their shit handled and still risks their whole family’s shit? Like maybe it’s just me but that’s stupid and hard to believe.
Funny, that… you’ll be shocked by the reason!
This reminds me of a minor plot point from “if I pay thee not in gold”, a book I read many many years ago that helped form some of my moral framework. Imho, go read it, it isn’t -that good- as it’s rather superficial and they could have done a fuckton of more interesting shit with the way that universe works, but it also isn’t that long; couple hundred pages in big font like my copy, and it’s about women with magic! But only conjuration magic. And only women, for very specific, logical, and understandable plot reasons that don’t make a person want to hurl! And it’s largely about personal growth due to sex with demons!
Anyway, because they can conjure things and then dismiss them at will, the poor quarters bars are all conjured alcohol, so if any problems arise they can instantly sober up their patrons.
There are two types of people who survive decently in the military. Those who can find every loophole and can maliciously comply, and those who allow themselves to be completely broken and reshaped into perfect compliance by the system.
Many people believe the second group is more common, but it’s really not, since those people tend to be in lower ranking positions. Bullet catchers and the like.
This came up as a plot point in some other animated show, and for the life of me I can’t figure out what it was…
Like the realization that they were hurting so many people so they could survive and save the world or whatever it was… and it just killed them inside…
(And I’m fairly certain I’m not thinking of Rick and Morty, although that does sort of happen as well… and I don’t think it was bojack horseman either…)
