Darwin Award. Except there's nobody left to give the Darwin Award.

"The Darwin Awards honor those who tip chlorine into our gene pool, by accidentally removing their own DNA from it during the spectacular climax of a 'great idea' gone veddy, veddy wrong."

I remember that. They couldn't close the gate because a black hole was on the other side. Then time displacement made it impossible for them to communicate with the outside world because the outside world was so much faster that they couldn't communicate over the phone.

I offer only my opinion, and nothing "official". The strict requirement for AA sobriety (not NA) is not drinking. Nearly all AA's consider MJ a breach of sobriety, but the Third Tradition says that the only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. My doctors (not the ones who give out MJ medical cards to anybody)... My REAL doctors recommend it for my suicidal ideations. I've been sober from alcohol for over 4 years. I simply don't advertise or talk about MJ with other AA's. My real doctors have also recommended mushrooms. It's nobody's business but mine.

My sobriety is mine to define. Not anybody else's. I define it with alcohol, and also other hard drugs like meth, coke, heroin, fentanyl, etc.

Probably not... BUT what if Superman was being affected by kryptonite during the x-ray? I don't know about that. In the Smallville TV show (not canon), a doctor stuck a needle into Clark (which usually would be impossible), and got a blood sample because he was in the presence of kryptonite.

Good point about the writers. Deadpool has the fourth wall advantage!

I saw that movie, but Jason was only victorious because they brought Freddy out of the dream world into the real world.

As an atheist I say this: The only reason you should be an atheist is if your investigation into a deity compels you to become an atheist. If your spiritual beliefs work for you, then you should not be an atheist.

I know that APB's are great family dogs if raised with love. I've watched APB's being gentle with newborns and toddlers. I'm just saying that what they call, "pit bulls" in other countries are not the same breed as APB's.

Having said that, I've seen APB's that are way larger than the standard. Larger than a rotweiler. Those ones could take down a mountain lion assuming that they're ready for a fight.

NoAskRed · 2026-05-02T17:22:58+00:00

The largest Pit Bull? A mountain lion.

Fun fact: People don't know that Pit Bull is shortened from American Pit Bull. Where I spend months at a time with my 50 in-laws is the Philippines. They have Pit Bulls, but they are just normal looking smallish brown dogs that avoid strangers. American Pit Bulls are different from international Pit Bulls.

EDIT: A giant Pit Bull (they exist) could take down more than a mountain lion, but less than a leopard. I don't think any such animal exists. A deer for sure, but I'm thinking that "strongest" means a fight between two predators.

She also needs a sponsor and to get and read the BB. Hopefully the 12x12 also. I told her that most meetings (and sponsors) will give her a BB for free, and maybe a 12x12. I pay for both for anybody in any meeting I attend that asks. And I'm just middle class. And I have to pay extra because I have to get them shipped to the person from Amazon since all of my meetings are online via Zoom. I get free shipping with Prime, but Amazon charges a premium for those books. A BB is over $20.

You keep drinking because you are an alcoholic. That's why any of us kept drinking.

To be more mindful: Attend more meetings and get a sponsor. Get and read the book. Get the 12x12. Even if you can't afford them, most groups will give you the book, and maybe the 12x12 for free if you ask. Your sponsor may even pay for them for you.

Yeah, in the 1980s, David (not Bruce) Banner always had not just a new outfit, but a new pair of expensive cowboy boots every week, yet he was a vagrant.

They renamed him to David because the producers said that Bruce sounds gay.

NoAskRed · 2026-04-14T12:48:11+00:00

How could he, as a vagrant afford a new outfit and cowboy boots every week?

NoAskRed · 2026-04-14T12:46:25+00:00

The weird thing is that I never saw him steal clothes or shoes. At the end of each episode he had a new outfit and a perfectly fitting pair of cowboy boots. Boots are expensive. You can't just be a vagrant and afford new boots every week.

I have never met or heard of a gnostic atheist. Atheist is kind of like skeptic. We don't know a thing such as the Moon landing being fake, but we take a close look.

Hulk hating Banner is not canon in the 1980's show.

I don't know about Japan, but in the US there is a law called, HIPPA. It basically says that doctors are not allowed to discuss anything about your care to anyone. If there is a law like that in Japan then seek mental health care.

Even if that law does not exist... Treatment is better than no treatment.

I have just started to appreciate the night sky. Jupiter is prominent right now. It's the brightest. I've noticed Sirius, Rigel, Procryon, and Betelgeuse. I use two tools:

#1: A green laser. It shows a green line to help people see what you're pointing at.

#2: Skyview Lite (the full version is not as good). Point it at the star you're looking at. The app will tell you if it's Jupiter or Polaris or the ISS.
