Fighting the desire to reply "Yes, and did you know they were fighting FASCISTS?" on every D-Day tribute I see on Facebook today.

Man, that reply thread went from "Microsoft is making a huge business mistake" to "deep discussion about techie things I don't even want to understand" in about eight seconds.

Life on the Fediverse, baby!

Would you rather be alone in a Space Ship with Darth Vader or the Queen Alien from Alien?

Please support the your answer if you feel like it.

Alright, lots of heavy discussions today, so let's talk about something silly!

What is a movie that always makes you laugh?

Personal pick:

Anything Mel Brooks, but Robin Hood: Men in Tights, it's just funny every time I watch it.

One of the things I love is when a noob starts watching Trek shows for the first time, and they're like, This is so silly, it's ridiculous, that guy turned into a lizard and impregnated his captain, that lady got possessed by a sex ghost that belonged to her grandma, the captain is sorting a room full of floofy guinea pigs, the ship runs on mushrooms, this theme song makes no sense, and I'm just like Yeah, isn't it great?! You either get it or you don't, I don't know what to tell you.

How much alone time vs socializing do you need?

For me there are a few people who are usually equalizing, and I can just be around them, so I won't count that. But generally, I find about 3 times a week, I'm game for socializing. A day in between to rest is usually nice, but the larger the gathering or if we go somewhere particularly noisy or I'm meeting new people that involves more effort, and my social battery empties sooner. I'm very curious where everyone else falls on this!

At some point, my purse became a walking pharmacy. Stomach upset, got a headache? I have you covered. Need bug spray or sunscreen, what about some lotion or hand sanitizer? I've got a snack, and something to freshen your breath.

When I had surgery a few years ago, I had a weight limit of 10 pounds for 3 months! Hubs said he needed to weigh my purse to make sure I could safely carry it. I thought he was joking, turns out it weighed 17 pounds!

McDonald’s has made McFlurries with Oreos. McDonald’s has made McFlurries with M&Ms.

But, this time, they’ve gone too far.

I managed to get water in my laptop and kill it yesterday, so I'm firing up the desktop machine that hasn't been used in a year. It's like visiting a lost era....

I just took the dog to the off-leash park. It's time to start doing this first thing in the morning, because humidity and aging Husky-mix dog aren't the best combination. Poor guy ran out of enthusiasm about halfway through.

Actually, humidity and aging White Western European Mutt human isn't that great of a combination, either. But at least I can fake the enthusiasm.

Is there any big-picture encouraging news, or is it going to be assholes winning every single day until the heat death of the universe?

I'm exhausted.

Sometimes the way people phrase things is so telling. For instance, telling women they should be "taking care of" their husband and children. Another adult doesn't need taken care of like a child, what you want is for women to be a Sex Mom.

Shit is almost always more complicated than you think it is.
