Sounds like a law office. That’s the only place I’ve ever heard of six minute chunks.

I think most generally it’s because naval analogues are probably the closest when you’re talking about large space-based fighting vessels. The air force doesn’t operate aircraft carriers, battleships, or destroyers. The navy, however, does (or did in the case of battleships). Those large sea based vessels often class quite nicely into a lot of sci-fi media for large ships.
The small ships you see are often based off of a carrier equivalent. Even when they’re terrestrially based, it makes a lot of sense to streamline your military structure to have just one “space force”, rather than trying to break it up into two entities like the “space navy” and “space air force”, each with their own standards and logistical supply networks.
I wish I had something more significant to contribute, but… yeah. Mood.
The remake is amazing.
The remake is so, so much better there.
Being right and being an asshole aren’t mutually exclusive. One is what you’re saying, the other is how you’re saying it.
I’ve talked to a therapist in the past - not about this, but about the rest of the abuse that was heaped on me during that time. It did help some.
You’re right, and it’s very similar advice my friends gave me. The hard part is finding the time and energy together to let me do it.
I’ve talked to some friends about it, but honestly it’s probably ground I need to tread with a therapist. I thought I had a good handle on it but this year has been particularly tough for some reason.
Thank you, though, I appreciate the sentiment!
Honestly, not really. I experienced something traumatic on Christmas eve of 2017 and have never completely recovered. I’ll probably never get back to where I was before that.
It really used to be my favorite day of the year but now it’s just raw and awful and I have to keep up appearances so I’m not a miserable person to be around. I really don’t want to be that way, I’m generally a pretty easygoing, easy to get along with kinda guy so I hate the shift that I make.
Good ol’ halon systems!
That’s a cool point actually. I doubt your senses would get quite that fine, but there’s still a lot of data transmission you’d be able to feel.
It isn’t illegal. They’re a private enterprise and can take payments in whatever form they choose. They can demand to be paid in roosters and it would still be legal.
I read through all of your comments in this thread. I’m going to ask you a few questions, more for my own curiosity than anything. Feel free to answer or not, but I’ve been studying conspiracism for the past few years and I think I may be one of the most open ears around. I would say at a minimum that I have some understanding of your worldview. Not a perfect one, but some.
Are you experiencing economic instability in your life? As in, finding it difficult to pay for things that you need?
Do you feel lost or disconnected from others? Is it hard to form connections with people because your worldview is so different?
Is there some other unmet need in your life? If so, can you articulate it or is it difficult to put into words?
I’m not asking these questions to be patronizing. I’m asking them because they’re humanizing and help me get a better understanding of the person on the other side of the screen.
Imagine standing next to your router while it screams pain directly into your brain. 😆
I wouldn’t be surprised. I used to use snus and found versions that are just coffee grounds inside. It’s helped a ton with curbing cravings.
Same here. I called them out on the last one since it was just a screenshot. I’ve been replying to them more to amuse myself than anything.
It’s outside the strictest bounds established by the question, but this time of year is 100% worth a trip on the Blue Ridge Parkway.
In a similar vein, any time I get a small cut, I reach for the isopropyl alcohol. I skip over the hydrogen peroxide for the simple reason of “I like the way the alcohol stings”
Allez cuisine!
ReactOS is one I haven’t heard about in quite a few years. That one would be really cool to see get a lot more dev time.
Worth noting is that the feeling of being or doing something “wrong” without much evidence to support it suggests a little bit of imposter syndrome. It’s a very, very, very common feeling and is almost expected in any sort of a technical field. I have dealt with it personally and it sucks. The thing that helps me is the knowledge that if I was doing something that wasn’t up to the standard or wrong, someone would intervene. Even if it was to just sit me down and tell me “Hey, this sucks and you need to do better”.
