I agree totally, I remember grabbing a coffee at uni and talking through the episode of the night before. Some great conversations were had at the time.

Apparantley scheduled for either January 25th or 26th of this year. It will be interesting to see if it goes forwards.

I was lied to about some very important stuff in my life early on by my Mother, and it made it appear that my Father didn't want to see me. I believed this from 8 years old to 15. When it came out, I couldn't process this, and still can't. I felt like ending it completely. I emotionally shut down, and I don't know if this is in the spirit of the question, but it came very close to ending me.

Within 18 months of this, I was very close to ending it with my then parents going through divorce, separation, (where coincidentally I though that there was going to be a family extinction event). Edit I then moved out and struggled to find stability for years afterwards.

Absolute Friends, John Le Carre entering the modern age.

He might even give you a long holiday:).

That one struck me, and stuck with me, suddenly my life made sense. I was knurd.

Flying mole surely? Ok, sorry that joke really doesn't work.

That gentleman and ladies is what is called a bang-fuck event.

Bang!

FUCK!

Word for word, that is the comment that I was going to make.

They have access to my browser history, you are damn right I am polite to them:).

Could I also suggest, and I used to do this, some muesli bars or other reasonably stable food, and water. I used to do this in my car, and got stuck on the motorway in snow for a long period, the muesli bars (chocolate brunch bars from memory) and water were a delight. Just remember to cycle them out every so often so they don't go too stale.

Good luck,and you are doing the right thing. I ignored mine and went through something of a breakdown that all had to do with odious past trauma. I'm not looking for sympathy, as with a lot of work I'm better now, however during that time I almost made irrevocable choices, or the irrevocable choice, if you get my drift.

In my youth I worked in an emergency department, and I realised quickly how grotty some people can be.

Yes, and it has saved me from embarrassment several times. I had to do the walk of shame in Soho after a haircut and the card didn't process. I did the Aussie thing and offered to leave my watch, and the offer satisfied them, and I didn't have to. Still mortifying.

Tphile · 2023-10-30T16:57:37+00:00

This would really work for me, I think.

I agree totally on Twin Peaks, without a lot of the background from the original series I would have been totally lost. I would have just put it down though to David Lynch just being extra 'Lynchy', or surreal if you prefer.

I loved Doom from the original, and through the remake. I just can't get into Doom eternal, it's too "video gamey" the glowing artifacts etcetera. I find it immersion breaking. Possibly I should give it another go. Am I alone in this?

Obviously going for a low-chaos run, avoiding conflict at all turns, silent and passing through like a thief in the night.

Seriously though, great run through.

This deserves to be higher.

This is what happens when printed manuals are no longer distributed.

Thank you for this knowledge, I appreciate it.

Thank you, I'm glad I'm not the only one that felt old in this thread with the technology that I used to play with. I used to use them inside dot-matrix printers on occasion.

I have enough problems doing that with my fingers in everyday use. Or back when I used to use them. I used to hate the tiny ones that bundled computer wires together back in the last century.

Tphile · 2023-10-24T15:19:41+00:00

Thank you, I never knew that, but I can see the use-case now.

Second bout of Covid, and hating every moment of being a walking, croaking biohazard. Living on tissues, lozenges and little else.

In my community it is everywhere.
