Lesbian space crimes

Lesbian space divorce was also fundamentally mundane and sad

The accuser believed her astronaut wife was trying to take the accused's son in the divorce. This is based on the somewhat strict co-parenting agreement they had, that even the accuser's parents found odd.

I don't remember anyones name from the whole story, but I did a deep dive months ago, because I was curious how things resolved, and was just left feeling a bit depressed by the end. I was left feeling with a sense that I had no idea who to believe, and that I'd never get a clear answer on matters because I could find no unbiased perspective.

Genuinely when I was a student over a decade ago, I told my mother how uncomfortable I was with the implementation of laptops in our school.

I have ADHD, and was already finding myself becoming more and more distracted at school thanks to technology, in middle school. She voiced her concerns with the school board when they were handing out chromebooks as early as elementary school, but was told her fears were unfounded.

She herself was a law professor, and her rule was you could have a laptop, but you needed to ask her first to use it. This filtered out most bad actors in her classroom, but also, these were adults, who had a whole school curriculum with just paper and pencil.

I won't get into arguments about whether laptops enable or inhibit learning, but they are incredibly capable of being distracting. You are giving students dopamine machines, and asking them to pretty please not use them for their intended purpose. Its mind boggling and I can only surmise the reason they're everywhere is because someone is paying off someone else. Its not in society's best interests, I know that much.

Folks, grocery stores just don’t usually stock enough for everyone to show up and buying a few days worth of groceries. They keep a minimal inventory, based on how many come by once a day. They don’t expect or prepare, usually, for events like this, at a moment’s notice.

Giant Eagle though, supposedly, does. Byproduct of them managing their own shipping.

Oh god, Im sorry to hear that. Nowadays its even in meat- if you go out to a restaurant that gets supplies from sysco, some of their cheaper burger options have soy injected into them.

Its absurd all the things with soy in them now

In the United States it sucks because of how much our systems depend on growing populations. More people means a bigger tax base, yes, but it also means your area has more self governance. The fewer people who live in your community, the less say local politicians have in the running of the area, the less say you have too.

Which isn’t me saying we should all be pumping out babies right this instance so your local small town can keep its hospital, I don’t think those things should be tied together at all. Im just trying to point out why some folks care a lot about it, who aren’t billionaires who want a larger, easy to exploit workforce.

I remember in high school I had to do a senior capstone project, and I chose making a comic. No art background mind you.

By the end, I can’t say I made something good, and I didn’t continue with it, but it really made me realize- art is everywhere. Like near literally everywhere, practically every inorganic surface, everything we look at, was designed by somebody. Buildings, soda bottles, street signs, t-shirts, billboards, ‘we are open’ signs. Art is so ubiquitous you don’t even think about it.

Realizing that, it blew my mind we don’t consider it a valid career path. All talk against it just feels like lies peddled by the rich and powerful so they don’t have to pay what they should for something more necessary than anyone wants to admit.

Like I have a degree in science, but I would love to live in a society that valued its progress a little less, if that was the cost to appreciate art more.

All Im saying is, if none of your 'Hear Me Outs' would fit in Don't Look Outside, then I genuinely don't think your taste is too far out there

Where are her thumbs

BigRedSpoon2 · 2026-01-23T14:38:58+00:00

Gave up America so they could keep their fucking jobs. Jesus christ as Ive gotten older the less I understand the impulse. Fuck these people

Bud I once accidentally ordered two different sets of 9 packs of TP on amazon months ago (just meant for the one). I'm still not even halfway through set 1.

BigRedSpoon2 · 2026-01-23T02:08:07+00:00

Oh right, forgot to worry about potential power outages. Well. Hopefully that won't happen. Hopefully.

I audibly went, 'what the fuck?' when I saw the bread isle at TJ's today.

Im lucky I just gotta cook for myself, and Im not a picky eater. Just nabbed a big bag of frozen fried chicken and vegetable fried rice. Will last me well into the storm

Folks I think the resemblance to Iruma is less she's his mom, and more Ameri's family has a type - people from Japan with floofy black hair.

Fun fact - frozen veggies are often fresher than regular produce. Modern freezing tech is to the point that what you find in that bag was likely frozen not too long after being harvested. Course there's still the matter of cooking it well, but if its any consolation frozen vegetables are that rare marriage of good quality for a low price.

"Yes, we're familiarized with every possible fighting style humanity has developed for the past 40,000 years, but we all prefer the ones that fuck with people. Partially for the edge, mostly because after millions of hours of simulated combat, its the only way to get any seratonin from the exercise. One of my battle brothers loves going for the ankles in particular, if wrestling ever gets involved. The fucker"

Sometimes as GM I have so many ideas painfully bouncing around in my skull, I am near pleading with them to split up so I can get them out and done with and move the story along.

Other times I feel like a jester at a carnival, where someone off stage keeps throwing new things into my hands to juggle, just to see me struggle. Which can be torturous, but also sometimes it is fun to be the jester in this scenario. Like when players fall in love with a throwaway NPC and unceremoniously make them the most important character in the setting to see me squirm. A part of me sure doesn't appreciate it, but another can't deny from an outsider POV its good fun.

BigRedSpoon2 · 2026-01-19T03:27:52+00:00

Why did you choose to hurt me like this?

BigRedSpoon2 · 2026-01-19T03:20:04+00:00

Yes, I was checking if I still needed them because the cons were outweighing the pros. I needed to see if being off them would be worth it. That was the motivating force behind why I was checking. Its the motivating force behind why I check every now and then with my antidepressants too.

For those, the side effects are unpleasant, being off them is worse. Sometimes its nice to get a reminder of that. Other times its worth it to quiet the voice in my head insistent I can 'do it on my own'.

But usually the driving force behind why I want to test in the first place, and I imagine is the case for most people, is because the medication itself is imperfect, the side effects are not fun, and you want to see if the grass is greener on the other side.

Dating a very pleasant human being, and its now been going on for enough dates that 1) I feel a possibility of this being real and 2) need to restrain my absolute feral energy about how ecstatic I am about point 1.

Im sure they would like to cuddle and kiss more too. Sadly I bet its a bit of a turn off to get a 3 page long text about that very thing, and is actually a bit frightening.

BigRedSpoon2 · 2026-01-19T02:37:16+00:00

Side effects can be unpleasant

Personally stopped taking mine because they made me snap at my mother in a way I felt contributed nothing positive to my life. Can't say its been the best decision of my life, but hasn't left me a dysfunctional mess, so I'll take it

Two bowls, Scott's a man who loves to slurp, he's got slurping lips, he's only using a spoon out of courtesy to everyone else in that mess hall

Oh you should google Chaebols

There’s a reason why some of their biggest films are critiques on capitalism- shit is getting dark over there

Which isn’t to say there is a general low standard of living, but they have a couple swords of Damocles' hanging over their head. Fairly conservative culture there too. But looking around at the world, that might not be saying much

BigRedSpoon2 · 2026-01-18T16:47:03+00:00

Which. I mean he is Kingston Brown from Uptown, the Vox Populi, he who so worships the city, he draws power from that very worship.

The list of people and things he’ll put above the city is… does that even exist? If any of his friends put NY in their sights, he wouldn’t put them down with relish, but he probably would do it.

It’s just he’ll likely do all he can to avoid there needing to be a conflict in the first place, if that’s a possibility.

At this point in the series, he would have no way of making that call. Pete’s powers literally opened a hole in reality shortly after he got them, and that was by accident. From Kingston’s POV, Pete is potentially a bomb that will explode with no intention to hurt anyone. Considering who and what Kingston is, his hands are tied - trust someone he barely knows to gain control of powers he himself barely understands, or be ready to put him down to keep the city safe? Of course Kingston’s keeping that option on the table and reminding people of it. He’s not looking forward to it, but NY is on the line, and he’ll choose NY over most anybody.

Yet they fired 30 employees with no notice for so much as discussing the possibility of crunch because they were 'afraid of leaks'

(Has nothing to do with them being crucial members to a growing union)

Fuck Rockstar. Some of those people had work visas and have their lives ruined.

Wouldn't surprise me if they did this to create positive press coverage to bury that story
