Damn, beat me to it.

When you put a Copilot button on a laptop keyboard...people will turn it into a more useful button.

Nope, except for maybe Bugs Bunny in a wig.

I understand, repression is what keeps us safe, but it can also be what holds us back.

Could I send you a message? Just to share a resource.

Women can be finsexual. I think the question would be whether you could be into a masculine woman or an effeminate man. There's also a question of just preferences.

Damn good movie. Such a trippy mix of sci-fi and body horror.

Chu Ishikawa is amazing! Also, if you haven't heard it yet, Nine Inch Nails did the theme song for the third movie.

Isn't that the thing? We're introduced to them at a young age and they scare the shit out of us, but then we get to enjoy those movies and appreciate some of the schlock. (The penis gun, for example.)

Derail away, it's all good. Great explanation. I'll have to visit Tolstoy sometime.

I'll concede that books can offer a whole lot more to disturb you. There are some stories that would probably be worse off as film adaptations.

Clive Barker's novels had me taking a lot of breaks. Nothing like a blood orgy of Mortal Kombat fatalities to make you put a book down.

I saw it a few more times because I loved the filmmaking surrounding the movie. The acting is really good, and Wayans really surprised me. The mother-and-son relationship was tragically beautiful.

Also, go watch Satoshi Kon's (sp?) Perfect Blue and you'll see some very familiar scenes.

 

Just thinking out loud here. I don't know too much about starting my own business, but I have a pipe dream about having a side gig building on-site mini servers for clients who want to start their own businesses.

I could speak with the client, find out what type of business they're developing, then pair them up with FOSS applications and hardware they'd run on their property. I could also update it all remotely. It would be like a plumber/electrician that can show people how to manage the tools I bring to them.

I was thinking of doing this as a really small personal business, meeting with the clients and installing systems for them.

You think there's a market for something like this? I don't really have anyone in my circle who knows the business or tech side of this.

One of my children is questioning their gender, and they seem at ease with non-binary. I found this out yesterday, so I'm approaching this gently, though I feel ill-prepared. I want to be who they need.

I'm curious about the experiences of other parents, or stories about your parents learning to adjust if you came out to them.

Follow-up: Thank you all so much for your stories and your feedback!

I wonder, what's more expensive: a decent wage for warehouse workers or the aftermath of a $600m arson?
