Welsh person here. At least you have a sea between you and England

Even if you just chuck them all in the bin for landfill, if it gets your space clean and gets you in a better mood, it's worth it. Recycle when you can but don't let your space become a mess just for the sake of recycling a few cans.

Although, there were a few iffy things. Like Belinda saying "I can stand up for myself" when that rebel questioned her, then just... repeating what the doctor said and not standing up for herself? It seems like a perfect opportunity to point out that she was kidnapped and wasn't there by choice. Literally none of it was her fault. It's Alan's fault for murdering a bunch of people. She didn't even realise that she'd accidentally bought Alan to the planet at that point, so why is she taking the blame?

Also, she's very correct to point out that the Dr is not behaving well and she just wants to go home, but (out of universe) we can expect her to be around for a season of episodes so.. let's hope she keeps up the "please don't kidnap me" energy and doesn't just forget about it to be a regular companion

Felt like a forgettable Dr Who episode from 15 years ago. Like, the episode wasn't great but it definitely had that Dr Who feel which I will absolutely take. The nine words thing was inspired and could have been great, except that they kept forgetting about it. I rewatched the whole thing, pausing and counting words, and I only noticed one time it came up without being highlighted and honestly it was probably a coincidence since it only happened once - the AI Generator said "Belinda - Mine". But most of the time when the robots should have missed a word they just responded normally.

But hey, that's probably my biggest complaint! Imagine watching an episode from a couple of years back and that's the worst problem with it!

As soon as she said that the Dr was going to take her to the stars, I knew Sasha was going to die. Of course the writers would pick the 21st century earth person over an alien. Sorry Sasha!

I'm full of microplastics but I keep buying food and drink packaged in plastic _(--)/

Sometimes there's just no realistic alternative. As nice as it would be to only buy fresh, unpacked food I don't have the time, money or energy to deal with that

EDIT: oh no, the Lemmy markup has ruined my shrugging face :(

Just because airport scanners turn you gay, that doesn't mean there aren't other ways to be gay.

Haha wtf. It's like that thing in schools of "bullies don't get punished, but you will be punished if you fight back"

I have a custom creature card in my cube. It's a 0/4 with the text: "Rubblebelt Rioters gets +X/+0, where X is the greatest power among creatures."

If it's the only creature in play, it's a 0/4. If it's in play with a 1/1, then it's a 1/4. Easy so far.

What happens if it's the only creature in play and it has a +1/+1 counter on it? Is it a 1/5? Does it see that the greatest power is 1, so it gives itself +1/+0, then +2/+0, +4/+0 ad infinitum?

I don't know of any real card with a similar static ability to check the rulings for.

I cut my own hair today for the first time and I am so happy with the result. I look like a cute little lesbian with a tomboy haircut and I have been smiling every time I see my reflection. It's was really tricky to get right and it took a long time.. I'm sure someone else could have done a better job.. but I finally look like myself! I put my jewellery back on for the first time in months because I felt like I deserve to look my best.

I got exactly one compliment when I went out today. "Did you cut your hair?" "Yes." "Nice." It's not much but I'll take it xD

On a side note, is this what it feels like to fit your gender? Just knowing I look like this instead of a guy with long hair has made me feel different about so many random things today

Our old printer has finally died and I'm coming with little to no knowledge of what to buy next. Our old printer was HP which required proprietary software to use the scanner and also ran the software on startup which all feels a little icky. Everything I've read about HP lately (as well as the quality of this printer TBH) makes me never want to buy from them again.

Just need something cheap and cheerful to print a couple of invoices a month that doesn't connect to the Internet or have AI or whatever other fancy but (for me) unnecessary features printers are doing now.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions :)

All of my IRL friendships are based around activities - we play games together, we volunteer together, etc. When someone moves away and we try to keep the friendship going, it always just sputters out after a few weeks or months. It just seems to devolve into small-talk / catch-ups that neither of us are really interested in (I don't mind small-talk too much, but it can't be 100% of any meaningful relationship).

So: What is the point of a long-distance friendship for two people who have no plans to live locally again? What am I missing?

EDIT: I have close conversations in person that are deep and meaningful, just very rarely over text. Maybe I ought to phone or video call once in a while..

 

I misread the community name first time I saw it and now I can't get that name out of my head

 

If the remap is better in every way, why wasn't it just made like that in the factory? What am I missing?
