Zoboomafoo,

I always imagined the cheek, but now I don’t know …

Zoboomafoo,

That was my first thought as well, it seems to be borh

Zoboomafoo,

She got what she deserved, pedestrians shouldn’t be on the street where the cars and speedsters are /s

Zoboomafoo,

Gold prices must be high

Zoboomafoo,

Thanks for the screenshot ❤️

I’m saying that their moment to moment is being influenced by being bombarded with nothing except negative news.

That leads to an “everything is awful” mentality that bleeds into one’s personal life.

Zoboomafoo,

How do I cope?

The media sells the idea the world is on fire. By a lot of measures, humanity is the best it’s ever been:

Things do seem bad, things do need fixing. My advice is to pick one singular part of the world you want to improve and figure out how to fix it. Something like abolishing prison labor or environmentalism. It needs to be something you can make a noticeable dent in, where you can see your own contribution to the effort.

Don’t change tack every time something new like Isreal-Hamas or the scuffle at the US-Mexico border happens. You picked that one thing to fix, remember? And unless you plan on going down to the border with a gun, how do you plan on making a real difference? If you can’t make a difference, why let it bother you?

Zoboomafoo,

I also recommend It Could Happen Here

Zoboomafoo,

Look how the military treated people in Iraq

Better than the police treats people in the US?

Zoboomafoo,

Thank you for the info, I hope it helps

Zoboomafoo,

My alternative advice is to find something you’re passionate about to do on the weekdays when you aren’t working.

Zoboomafoo,

Sure.

And until you find that job, having something to do in the evenings is how to avoid the feeling that life is just waiting for the weekends

Zoboomafoo,

I thought the USSR wasn’t communist?

Zoboomafoo,

It affects fingers too

Zoboomafoo,

The point I was trying to make is that rhetorically the USSR is in a superposition of Communist/Not Communist that collapses into whichever is most convenient for the commenter at the time

Hi, Borg. (startrek.website)

I just had a paranoid thought that Ronald Moore has done a deal with Paramount so that when For All Mankind hits the 2020s in Season 6, we’ll get the Bell Riots and the start of World War III, then jump ahead through the war years until we introduce the character of Zefram Cochrane, with the last shot of Season 7 being...

Zoboomafoo,

There’s a colony ship in The Expanse named Mark Watney, so I like to think it’s the same timeline

Zoboomafoo,

I’ll take “made with drugs”

Zoboomafoo,

“Baldwin shiposts”

Zoboomafoo,

Could we not?

Zoboomafoo,

There’s a difference between negative attention like outrage, and mocking someone until their name is a joke.

His type can’t stand the latter

Zoboomafoo,

Paul Harvey > Steve Harvey

Zoboomafoo,

I eventually clicked the link in the test email out of curiosity, I got a nice popup telling me I fucked up

Zoboomafoo,

I’m using it ironically so it’s OK

Zoboomafoo,

You can’t park that thing there!

Zoboomafoo,

I’m not going to go back and check, but as I recall the AT-ATs only ever moved one leg at a time in the film, I guess they couldn’t get two to work
