obviously

Honestly I like the slow reveal that the Ellimist was also a massive dick. It’s like realizing the Vorlons aren’t actually “good.”

lol blakes 7 is actually the fic I’m returning to work on right now.

especially when it was giving southern us more than other types of wars for independence

yeah I’m slowly working my way through B5 while doing other stuff on my days off. Never heard of the lensman series but I did enjoy the first ringworld book!

oh god now I’m thinking about the whole disintegrating thing again

I’m so glad none of those things meant what I thought they meant when I put them into ddg

I do not know, but (genuinely) thank you for sharing.

OK so like. Yes that is literally the question here. Are you gonna give us the slightly cooled by the passage of time B5 hot take or…?

No that’s valid tbh. Genres are 100% a part of fandom. I always admired the steampunk aesthetic but never had the resources to get into it. I’ve loved the bits that overlap with stuff like stardust though!

I get what you mean but I suppose we both at least know what we’re getting into and respect the consequences of talking shit.

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately actually; I think I’m just naturally someone who needs spicy relationships. I’ve had people call me toxic but tbh my husband now that I’ve been with for five years total doesn’t feel that way because he gives just as good as he gets. You can’t go into the restaurant and order the 5 alarm chili then get mad at the cook. You ordered it; either eat the damn thing or admit you were wrong and if that was too hard for you maybe ya bitchass should order a mild next bout (but damn if the spice wasn’t just 🧑‍🍳🤌 yesterday morning…).

I have a cat that I’ll bother sometimes (I want the beans) but for the most part she seeks out the interactions (I mesh well with highly social cats so they’re the ones the cat distribution system typically sends me). She’ll let me know when she’s done.

lol one of the things we have to do in psychiatry is go through every patient’s belongings on admission.

We’ve seen all kinds of things from drug paraphernalia to weapons to dildos (and one dude just had the whole lower half of a sex doll) but in this context the thing that takes the cake was the patient hallucinating so bad they were talking to the demons more than us and it turned out there was a loaded gun in the bag they’d had at their bedside for 8 hours in the ED. The honorable mention is the lighter that looked like a gun that I put in a little plastic baggie with a note covering it that said ‘THIS IS A LIGHTER’ so that no one would panic when they first saw it.

Honestly I don’t even care all that much we really do live in an area where you might just want to have something on you even if it’s just a nice hefty flashlight. I’m probably not going to win a fight, but I’ve always said I’ll at least take a testicle with me and leaving behind some tetanus doesn’t sound too bad either.

I’m with you OP. It’s an IBS nightmare. I’ll have it popped but that’s just because it’s so convenient of a snack and not too bad health wise.

that’s been my position several times as well unfortunately. like I said, lots of men say that’s what they’re gonna do, then they actually get there and realize domesticity is actually a legit job and they don’t really wanna do that either.

Yeah but I always thought the hobosexual was the sucker. Like I’m a hobosexual because I prefer a domestic house husband but it’s difficult to find a man who isn’t just saying he’s one as a ruse for wanting to do 0 work, domestic or otherwise.

Honestly my issue with the way the US handles these things is that if wealth was distributed more equitably and fluidly we wouldn’t need to be half as litigious.

If getting your car damaged didn’t mean your only transportation to and from work being nonfunctional in a way that would require several months worth of wages from that job to fix, you wouldn’t need to focus as much on who specifically changed lanes wrong, you’d just fix it. And if you could just go to the doctor and get care, and easily take time off work to heal, a little bit of muscle tension would be easy to catch, treat, and heal up from well before the possibility of lifelong and career ending injuries came into question.

If we were able to have the resources and time to just handle most small things, we wouldn’t have to be constantly holding every individual working class individual personally liable for which direction they sneeze in. Litigation could be saved for serious and repeat offenders. But no, squeezing every last dime out of the working class is a feature, not a bug.

Every once in a while people get caught and privileges dropped or moved to different / farther away units and their off-unit groups get moved around to distance but ultimately there’s no way to completely ensure they won’t. There was one nurse in the clinic whose job it was to give condoms to any patient who asked and not keep records of who asked because the only thing worse than two adults not considered competent to consent having sex is a baby falling out of one of them.

Honestly I find that most things that say they’re military grade are, it’s just people think that’s a good thing. Instead of essentially meaning “as cheap as possible.”

Honestly I would love to hire a statistician to do the analysis on any clinical research I do. I just wanna collect the broset scores every shift and request and assign staff to best balance them then let somebody else count how many (hopefully less) people got punched by patients vs not doing that. No way even the research hospital would’ve paid for that though.
