I like thunder except for the way it displays long horizontal images in my tablet.

Ocelot , 9 months ago to news in America Has Reached Peak Therapy. Why Is Our Mental Health Getting Worse?

It seems to me there is a very simple answer to the issue pointed out in the article—mental health problems are out of control, and no matter how many therapists and doctors we employ to combat it, there’s just no stopping it.

Ocelot , 9 months ago to asklemmy in How the fuck can I kill 20 hours?

No advice, but I sympathize. I once sat listening to music while waiting for my flight to board. When there was no activity and fewer passengers in the area than I expected, I discovered that while I had been waiting they changed the gate for my flight. I ended up waiting in Chicago Midway (this was before their big upgrades in the early 00s) for 12 hours. It was hell.

You might enjoy this article about this very thing; apparently John Wesley had some thoughts about this. firebrandmag.com/…/all-cats-and-dogs-go-to-heaven….

That’s how I felt when listening to King’s Dark Tower series when Frank Muller was replaced with George Guidall (who is a fantastic narrator in his own right). Then I discovered there was a pretty compelling reason they had to switch.

Full corgi, but I can definitely see what you’re seeing there too.

Ocelot , 10 months ago to nostupidquestions in Why is it usually advised to power off your computer to have Bluetooth work again if it stopped working after a kernel update?

As a non-technical person, someone on Reddit once explained in a way that makes sense to me as an analogy. Say you are on vacation for a week. Over the course of the week you get pretty good at going from point A to point B, and can even take small side trips along the way. But one day you get a little turned around, and you find you can’t get back to where you need to go. But if someone could pick you up and return you to your starting point, you could do just fine going about your business.

Ocelot , 10 months ago to nostupidquestions in How are we supposed to convene an impartial jury for a trial involving high profile political people? [USA]

I don’t understand why, when people talk about what a dirtbag Trump is, so many people respond with, “Yeah, but person X is also a dirtbag.” Like yeah, so? That’s beside the point of this conversation. That person is also a dirtbag. Why don’t you start a thread to talk about that?

Grr

Loved that movie! I’m a sucker for time travel stories.

In my line of work, the “Bible” is the Chicago Manual of Style. It is the deciding factor of what is “right” in editing.
