I like the Total Recall remake with Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Biel, and Colin Farrell more than the original with Arnold. The original is overhyped gibberish, in my opinion.

Also, perhaps a premature unpopular opinion: If - IF - it continues to present the same level of quality for the length of its run, Silo will be better than The Expanse.

Oh my sibling in Xenu, Andor is mandatory viewing if you have any love for Star Wars at all, but ESPECIALLY if you love Rogue One. It is absolutely incredible.

But there's no sense crying over every mistake

Haha, holy shit, that is the perfect description. I think you’re shooting too high by putting this in the Valley though. As a midwesterner, this is some small town, small school, Queen Bee-at-the-apex-of-her-existence shit.

It’s not gonna be long before someone busts out some Boone’s Farm at one of these meetings, 2A Barbie and Madge have a few too many, and suddenly we’re in the middle of a donnybrook.

This is an awesome read on the topic. Thanks so much for writing it, man. It’s something that has bugged me about the Mat/Tylin relationship forever.

That was my understanding, but who knows? Thanks for the list, @noodlejetski!

This is another thing I don’t get. Is there a way to view a list of ALL communities across all Fediverse instances, preferably ordered by size? Doesn’t even have to be searchable, I’d just start with a list.

Needing to jump from instance to instance, searching their available magazines - as a Kbin user - seems so clunky for something with so much promise.

I hope to God I’m doing this wrong.

High five!

I’m with you on this all the way. My dad did, and continues to do, his best. But as an elder millennial (I was born in 81, and as best I can tell that’s what I am, I guess), as I got older it felt like our generation was collectively fucked up about a lot of the same stuff - whatever the reason. And we were making many of the same promises to ourselves.

My dad loves my two kids more than anything in this world, but there’s a definite feel of redemption-seeking there. Or maybe just trying to soothe regrets.

I have a preteen and a toddler, and for different reasons I held both of them close yesterday. I begged my brain to remember these moments when I’m my dad’s age, because I’ve been able to be there for almost every leg of the journey so far. I really don’t want it to start to all just blend together, because right now it feels so special and unique to have this opportunity.
