TheDoctorDonna,

There’s a lot of legal stuff and then generally the way she treats people (especially people who were supposed to be her friends, employees or housemates) is pretty controversial, but technically not illegal yet. She tried to take Oz’s house away from him through convoluted legal practices and used her power over him to turn him in to a slave.

TheDoctorDonna,

She gives rise to public disagreement, I think she fits the controversial definition as well, but I didn’t realize I was supposed to be pedantic when I comment.

TheDoctorDonna,

We had a TurboGrafx when I was a kid! We had Shinobi 3 and some game that was supposed to be like Punch Out! But I don’t think it actually was called that.

That machine was a beast and I loved it.

TheDoctorDonna,

When COVID hit I had a now or never moment and took the now. I took it a couple times actually. Got me a real career in a new province out of the deal so I figure I ended up for the better. Sometimes the choice is obvious like it was for me and you need to jump on that shit before you never get another chance.

TheDoctorDonna,

It’s not taking away from, oppressing, or discriminating against cis men to empower the other genders and to say that it is is cause to question a person’s intelligence. You got your empowerment by beating down everyone that wasn’t a big, swinging dick like you, it’s time to let others have some stake in the world

TheDoctorDonna,

LMFAO no one said you had a big swinging dick, I said you are one. Because all you care about is what cis, white men are getting out of the deal. Y’all have been on top of the world for fucking ever, white men literally rule the world, time to let the other genders be seen.

TheDoctorDonna,

Fundie Fridays puts out enjoyable, quality content. They’re is a little more “low budget” but good quality and they discuss right-wing extremism and Christian fundamentalism.

TheDoctorDonna,

🤘 fuck cars.

I don’t know how to link communities cause I’m old and stupid, but there is a fuck cars and a micromobility community.

TheDoctorDonna,

Not really. I live in Northern British Columbia and there are people riding their bikes in all weather. Ebikes have a temperature limit, but you can get winter tires for your bicycle. Unless you drive for a living, it’s perfectly reasonable.

TheDoctorDonna,

Fair enough, but if only rural people drove and everyone else walked, rode bike or transit in town it would make a huge difference.

TheDoctorDonna,

Not just Finland. I see people on their bikes in -40°C in Canada. People just need reasons to not let go of their cars so they feel better about using 5 people worth of space and fuel to get to and from work.

TheDoctorDonna,

I walk because I can’t ride a bike and if I can’t walk because it is too icy, I transit 5 kms. But I don’t think myself superior, I used to be a car brain too. I bought in to the needing a car hype and that owning a car was freedom. I’m so much more free and stable now without car payments, insurance, car maintenance, outrageous fuel prices and cops following me just for driving 🤷‍♀️

TheDoctorDonna,

Rural commuters are different, you never asked about that.

Though if more people lived in urban areas it would solve a lot of problems when it comes to unnecessary commutes and anyone who chooses to live suburbanly and commute is a car brain, yes.

And you might not necessarily be one (though you never mentioned a bike or a “smart” car before) but anyone who makes excuses to continue bad habits is most definitely a car brain. People driving 5 people’s worth of space and fuel the 12 blocks it takes to get to work are most definitely car brains. The people in over sized trucks and SUVs when they really don’t need to are most definitely car brains. And people who make excuses for their bad behaviour…guess what? Car brains. I don’t care if you think I’m on a high horse. Better a horse than a car.

TheDoctorDonna,

I am of the exact same opinion. I like having clean air and green spaces in my city and I’m really tired of the constant battle to walk places safely. If I am walking somewhere, I am guaranteed to have to avoid a car who didn’t care that there was a pedestrian with the right of way- or even smack in the middle of the crosswalk for that matter.

TheDoctorDonna,

Thank you. Someone told me how to do it before but I couldn’t remember it lol.

TheDoctorDonna,

Read my other comments in this thread and you’d see the answer is clearly no, I am not suggesting that. It’s almost like you intentionally ignored the fact that I already addressed rural commuters and attacked an earlier comment to avoid that I had.

Honestly - How much will you sacrifice for a better world?

Confronted with the likelihood that we cannot achieve climate goals, confront socioeconomic inequality, and ultimately build a better world without significant personal sacrifice: How much are you personally capable and willing to lose? I mean this in the most earnest way possible. Acknowledging the likely possibility of working...

TheDoctorDonna,

If it was guaranteed to make the world better and not just some empty political promise, I would give up every luxury I could think of. The only thing I wouldn’t be willing to sacrifice are lives and human rights. If we needed to live in a tiny home with no internet, never eat out again and sew our clothes so that everyone is equal and has the same rights and comforts, I’m in. It would suck, but we’d survive and learn how to be content in knowing that no one is suffering for our greed anymore.

TheDoctorDonna,

One of my co-workers perfectly quoted the Cyberman-Dalek scene never having seen a single episode of Doctor Who. Apparently it was all over her tik tok. I mean, I’ll take it, I hope the memeability encourages more viewers. And if that doesn’t do it, NPH should.

TheDoctorDonna,

And rarely available, and far away for most people. Getting in to a dental school for complicated work is like winning the lottery.

TheDoctorDonna,

I know… There are 10 dental schools in Canada, the odds of getting in to one to have any work done are almost literally like winning the lottery. I’m sure it’s not much better in the U.S. plus you have to be lucky enough to live near one. The nearest major city to me is 8 hours away. And typically you have to fit within an income threshold, which we don’t as we are a two income household with benefit, albeit benefits that are quite limited.

TheDoctorDonna, (edited )

Oooh I don’t want to spoil new episodes for anyone so I can’t actually respond to the Time Lord knowledge bit, but I feel like I recognized some of the words you used lmao.

TheDoctorDonna,

I am loving the specials and I am so glad to have “my” Doctor and companion back, if only for a short time.

TheDoctorDonna,

He really is, so is his wife. And he slays every role he plays. I rarely miss an opportunity to catch him on screen.

And I am so glad RTD is back! Moffat was fun and all, but both he and Chibnall were better at the short stories that could be told in an episode or two.

TheDoctorDonna,

Rub it and say “Argh! Nice leg beard!”
