I totally agree with your whole position. This isn’t a score keeping exercise. When you spend time with someone, you should feel happy. Not necessarily all the time, but you shouldn’t feel drained, angry, sad, anxious, or self conscious the majority of the time. A significant part of your mental health comes from what you do and who you are with. People need to learn what they can handle and set healthy boundaries. I’ve cut out significant people from my life, people who made no effort to contribute to my happiness because they were only focused on their own for YEARS. I don’t have time for that. I’m glad I learned this in my younger years.

This makes you a mast-debater. I knew it!

It does beg the question of whether you could intentionally do it. Scotty was very limited by the technology available to him, but the later versions of the Enterprise might have been able. It’s interesting to think about. All of that said, I think you support your position very well and I appreciate the thoughtful response!

They didn’t, but why couldn’t you? You have their pattern, all you need is matter/energy.

What about the Rikers?

That’s a long-ass party. I would have eaten all of your cheese in that timeframe. All of it. Do you have anymore?

Two things:

• Did your friends know you were going to have a bunch of food and they were expected to eat it?
• Was your party at a time that people normally eat?

I find that if it’s too early/late or if you didn’t tell them what was expected, your results are suboptimal. Could just be your friends, though.

When I discovered his original 3 stand-up specials on Netflix, I watched them with full attention. After that I watched them when I went to bed. Watch until I fell asleep (usually within 5 minutes). The next day pick up where I last remembered and did it again. I rotated through them at bedtime for months. Gotta have something entertaining, but not actively engaging so I can fall asleep to it. Comedy specials the 2nd or 3rd time through work for this. No surprises means I don’t miss anything by falling asleep.

I support you and your jokes. Party on, dude!

You had an opportunity to actually make the text bold, and you missed it.

I could see this as a conversation between Jerry and Beth. This is especially apt because Jerry was abstracted into a worm in the therapy episode.

That’s why I do it, too.

We are saving lives, and we won’t apologize for it!

What I bought was something basic from Amazon. My trick was using a dedicated UV flashlight strategically placed. It wasn’t an amazing effect, but it worked.

What am I, the Maharaja of Pookajee?

I wanted to buy these and use them as Halloween decorations. I have glow in the dark paint. So, I planning to enhance them some.

I had to block so much yiff when I first joined Lemmy. I knew it was out there, but I didn’t realize just how much until Lemmy. Maybe I blocked it gradually over time at Reddit and didn’t realize how much it was in total, but I felt like there wasn’t as much there.

I try not to judge their journey, but I have no need to join them on it.

Boromir and Legolas crack me up.

Shaka!

Yes, Beverly Crusher, too.
