  • You know, there was a girl I was chatting with once. She suggests we get lunch, then calls it off last minute.

    A few days later she complains about some guy she likes who stood her up for lunch that lives near me.

    Then she just ghosted me.

    I’ve always wondered if she meant me and the whole thing was her miscommunicating and then trying to be coy and indirect.




  • I’m one of those older Trekkies who will complain about the aesthetic choices of the DSC sets.

    My view is that there is a certain style with sci-fi shows of this nature that are part of their identity.

    Large swings in design choices are very distracting to the point of being off putting to me unless there is good reason for it.

    One thing I absolutely applaud Disney for is how they’ve managed to modernize but still keep the 70s aesthetics in their Star Wars shows. And I wish Trek had followed the same path.


  • My mother is like this. She rents out her house for under half it’s market value.

    The tenants know they have it good though and do a lot of things that really should be my mother’s responsibility like pay for or do minor repairs when they come up.

    I have told my mom that the needs to raise rent at least some because she’s not saving enough for big things that will come up like roof replacement, but she’s terrified of her tenants leaving.
