Meh, that’s kind of the point, no? Seems like it would be more jarring to only federate at the community level, as you either a) still have to interact with people from the unwanted instance or b) deal with randomly hidden comments from that instance. If the community dies because it’s on an unpopular instance, well, that’s the way it goes. Can always start up/join a community on another instance that’s federated with yours.

Oh man! Excited for this, never played the original but played a lot of Croc 2 growing up.

“Why don’t you donate that money?”

“Why don’t you?”

You know, when I read The Handmaid’s Tale back in high school, I didn’t think the ending made any sense. How do you have tourists just walking around taking pictures when there’s horrible human rights violations happening in plain sight?

I think I get it now.

Honestly the accounts of the woman who visited almost bother me more than the men. Even as a tourist she wasn’t allowed to do certain things, but she can just leave whenever she wants. Wonder how her friends among the locals feel about that.

Getting real uncanny valley vibes from those teeth…

Just learned a new word! Gonna find new and exciting ways to use it.

“This lasagna is perfectly scrofulous, darling”

I remember getting in trouble in preschool for wondering aloud how you spell “bitch.” Timeout wasn’t even the worst part; they ruined all my markers ;(

Definitely this, and maybe a motorized scooter for days that really require you to move around. Also check the conference site or call them to see if they offer any accommodations. But, OP, you’re probably not gonna be making it 15-25 miles a day no matter what you do. Be honest with yourself and others about your limitations and don’t push yourself too hard. Have a backup plan to get around if you need to.

Good luck! The journey may be tough but I believe you will make it.

According to Samsung SDI’s VP, automakers are interested in its solid-state battery packs because they are smaller, lighter, and much safer than what’s in current electric cars. Apparently, they are also rather expensive to produce, since it warns that they will first go into the “super premium” EV segment of luxury electric cars that can cover more than 600 miles on a charge.

Apparently not, though this is all marketing speak

I have the opposite experience, I only watched it a couple years ago and thought the hype would totally kill it for me, but I actually ended up really enjoying it and EoE in particular stuck with me. I loved the idea that love is born of the risk we take of truly being known by other people.

I will say that the quality of the Netflix dub probably helped a lot. I know they changed some translations which kinda sucks, but overall the voice acting is so much better. No hate to Spike Spencer, he’s obviously a very prolific voice actor, but I think his performance of Shinji is at least part of why people thought he was so whiny. We were originally going to watch through the rebuild movies dubbed, too, but it was so bad we decided to switch to sub.

I wouldn’t bother with anything weird, just watch the series through and then the movies in release order. It might not be “optimal” but I don’t think it needs to be. You can skip Death, though, since it’s just a recap (there was originally a year between the end of the series and EoE)

I know it stresses them out but god damn do I love seeing hognoses playing dead. They’re so dramatic!

Hush now, I’m busy psychoanalysing people for their choice in pets.

I like my dog’s energy because she motivates me to move at least a little bit each day. Of course I’m not gonna get a husky because no amount of motivation would let me keep up with them, but a good energy match in a dog is heaven to me.

I like cats too, but I feel like I just don’t “get” them as intuitively.

Our neighborhood has a lot of stray cats and boy howdy do they shit everywhere. They also like to dig up mulch like kitty litter.

I love Kingdom Hearts dearly (beloved) and will be the first to tell you that it makes no god damned sense. I love the characters and many of the themes so much that it hurts to see them get so misused.

Even if I was using that money entirely selfishly I could come up with so many better things to do.

How do you know when a person is reformed versus playing the part to get out earlier? Is there a risk of the system being abused by those who commit a crime knowing that they can get out in a couple years’ time?

If you can’t even think of forgiving this hypothetical transgression you’ve come up with, how can you ever hope to have a positive influence on this world that might actually protect others from the kind of tragedy you’ve described?

I’m sorry but I’m not sure I see the connection here. How does forgiveness prevent such tragedies?

I get it, but also when I think about if that happened to my sister, let alone my child, no amount of time would be enough. 2 years for ripping two people out of your life feels like a pittance. How do you separate the emotion from the practicality?
