I’m surprised you’ve made it this long without hearing about the sonic sunglasses.
Spoilers in that link, of course.

I just felt like the show lost its way a little. Like it doesn’t seem to understand the doctor anymore.
I think Capaldi is a fantastic actor and I love the idea of returning to an older doctor, but I recall an early episode when he duels a swordfighter with a spoon and it made me think of that old Reddit copypasta from the weird girl.
Then the sonic sunglasses?
I just.
I don’t know. It just wasn’t for me.
Not to sound like a curmudgeon, but you’re not missing much.
It requires no restraint if you’re not a monster.
Can and absolutely do. Pet is my standard security question and it’s just a standardized password I use only on that field.
I wonder how bad their financials are if the CEO is publicly speaking out about this problem.
Chipotle used to be my favorite restaurant, but the last time I ate there was probably 2019. It just stopped being worth the effort of trying to get a full bowl.
Oh that whole thing is the cope cage! I thought it was just a building behind it or something.
I can’t speak for anyone else, but I’m okay with news that sad so long as it’s not all the news we get. Life can be sad and nature can be harsh, that’s just the reality of loving wild things.
There’s always a chance, it’s just very small. These corrupt justices are the end game for the republican party, the odds of any of them breaking ranks to convict is very low.
That said, it’s almost certainly not about conviction, so much as upholding the rule of law and creating political pressure and support for something like packing the court.
I really like this one.
Looks like a role for Christian Bale.
That’s neuroplasticity, which is true.
Okay, source it if you’ve got it, because the idea that a single study ran out of funding at 25 and that’s where the number comes from is such an odd suggestion, as though no one else has studied the brain’s development and neuroscientists everywhere just shrugged and thought, “if only the funding were there.”
Here’s a well-sourced article that concludes the brain continues to develop well into the mid-20’s.
While the brain will always continue to develop and grow, due to neuroplasticity, the concern is whether or not the prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain responsible for long-term decision making, is properly developed. This development continues into the mid-20’s and is well-documented.
Here’s a 2022 study where they looked at over 100,000 brain scans from people 110 days old to over 100 years old used to draw and affirm similar conclusions.
While 25 isn’t magic number, as everyone’s brains develop on different timelines, it is a rational and reasonable landmark that can be reliably used for broad discussions.
Here’s more from the National Institute of Mental Health and Penn Medicine.
I’ll disagree about age. At 23, the pre-frontal cortex is still developing and won’t be finished until around 25.
It’s responsible for:
There is a distinct imbalance between someone in their 60’s and someone in their early 20’s. I’m not saying it can’t be carefully and respectfully navigated, but it has to be acknowledged and accounted for.
It doesn’t sound like that happened here.
Then we have the power dynamic of a celebrity who is also your employer. Add in a healthy dose of fictive kinship due to the live-in nature of a nanny and you’re in a situation rife with the potential for abuse.
Sleeping with the nanny less than half your age isn’t a great start for a discussion of power dynamics in a sexual relationship.
I’m not going to assume anything either way, bo the women deserve to be heard, at the very least.
Anyone have thoughts on this? I’ve only played a little, so most of this doesn’t mean too much to me yet.
Source on the executions? I found that informants were named and when warned that this could result in their deaths Assange basically said, “lol, snitches get stitches.”
That said, I couldn’t find anything about the informants actually being executed.
Still OSHA, I believe. I did a quick google and they seem to have rules for fishing boats.
Of course not. I’m in love with a whole person, not her appearance. I love her fierce intellect, her passion for justice, her wanderer’s spirit. I love that we can sit together and watch anything only for it to lead to a new and endlessly fascinating discussion.
Makeup doesn’t affect any of that.
I like how makeup highlights her favorite features or hides when she feels tired or insecure. I like that it helps her feel more fully herself. I think it’s great that makeup can do that for her.
She will always be attractive to me for who she is. How she looked may have helped me first talk to her, but who she is has kept us talking for 16 years.
