Repple (she/her)

I mean, I was a kid in the 90s and I feel like we’re behind what I expected in most respects.

I searched for pictures of Uranus recently. Google gave me pictures of Jupiter and then the ai description on top chided me telling me that what was shown were pictures of Jupiter, not Uranus. 20 years ago it would have just worked.

I did this at 12 years old back in the 90s. Never lost my ability to type qwerty, either. Completely worth it.

The dose makes the poison. I have seen people go from helped by prescription adderall to completely paranoid and detached from reality at high doses.

It can be both bad for him at his dosages and good for others, and I think most people here have understood that, though maybe I’m being optimistic

I think you mean it became clear In 2018. Honestly if you were paying attention it was well before that, but that was big news. Even that article mentions him repeatedly coming under fire for his comments on twitter

I love driving a 3 pedal. I’m hoping for genuinely eco fuels or maybe Mazda being the crazy person in the room and releasing (another) hydrogen burning wankel so it doesn’t have to disappear from this world. I don’t mind using an electric car for a daily driver but sometimes I want to have fun.

Actually appropriate here: he allegedly stole pre-release Blu-rays.

I would still buy this just because

I think before. Pedo submarine comment was 2018 and I believe this was 2017. He had made crazy comments but nothing was big news at that point iirc

They could have at least read up about him if they were going to name drop, it was clear if you paid attention back then how bad he was, though it was more understandable for someone not paying attention to not know

Plus, every time you bring it up (such as this thread) a large number of the responses are of the “not all men” sort. And yes, not all, but more than enough, and those comments are the opposite of helpful

For me the production was unlike anything I had seen to that point. Just incredible. Gameplay, however, did little for me. Perfect game to watch someone else play in my book

Tankless heater; this will never happen.

I’m 40ish. Hasn’t happened yet outside of the cashiers at my home grocery who know me.

Unpopular opinion time:

I loved the Last Jedi and Ryan Johnson pretty much made Luke as great/powerful of a Jedi as he could while still fitting the plot in with existing canon and what was setup in ep VII.

We already knew Luke had disappeared, so it was already canon that he had essentially abandoned the cause for some reason, that was done by Abrams. Luke had struggled with fear and anger the entire original trilogy, so the cause in TLJ fit in well with his past, as did his reaction.

His force projection to save the day was probably the single strongest and most impactful single act of the force displayed across all the films and was just badass.

Chairs are overrated. I pretty much always choose the floor. Even the couch tends to be used mostly as a backrest for sitting on the floor

My friend got a dozen or more marriage proposals in Egypt, some including pretty sizable dowries—which really did not help as much as the people offering the proposals wanted. I’m guessing the only reason she wasn’t followed like this was due to the presence of her family

AIDS has killed many more than COVID-19, albeit slower. Gingrich and Justice Thomas are responsible for a lot of the degradation of our institutions that allowed for trump and his ilk. Gay and Trans rights were essentially non-existent compared to today.

We are worse off in many many ways, but for me personally that last one means I am much better off at this moment (this may not last).

I’m in the Andromeda galaxy? Neato.
