Sorry, I didn’t realize I was needed to indicate my sarcasm. It is always about power and control when comes down to it, though you could see the sunk cost in this situation as being the power of the church. Honestly, I do believe this comic may be specifically using hats as a symbol for the power of the church at that time.

Do you think this is just a troll or an actual teen? I don’t want to waste my time on trolls.

Well, if you are never there, then you aren’t there for them. Thus, they will not be there for you in the future, because you haven’t bothered to be there when they needed it.

Of course! I hope you find a way to enjoy Who. It is a lovely universe. The other idea would be to look into Big Finish audio—they do a lot of interesting Who stuff.

Excellent. So far I think I’ve got it… I can see the reports and modlog for the community. I will do my best!

Hey there, I am willing to help, but I’ve never been a mod. I’m a pretty quick learner, but I would need some guidance in the beginning at least. I’m using Tesseract.

If you like the lore but watching it makes you want to stab your eyes out, look into the Target novelisations. They are mostly faithful to what was on the TV, and you get to use your imagination instead of BBC’s production values. They were usually written by the same person who wrote the script. I actually prefer the novels for several stories and was really, really disappointed when I finally had a chance to see them. A big bonus is the Target books are pretty cheap and easy to find used.

Ah, the sunk cost fallacy… of course that’s why we can’t have anything nice.

It’s definitely something that you have to grow up with. I was lucky to have an uncle who was obsessed with The Fourth Doctor when I was a child, and my love of the show comes from that. I wish some of the older stuff could be redone: it’s unwatchable for many because it was made for an audience who had tiny black and white TVs and a great deal more patience.

At least for me:

Dr. Who (First through Fifth Doctor mostly)

Original Star Trek

Star Trek: TNG

Star Trek: Voyager

Star Trek: DS9

Ugh. Yes. It is horrible how history rhymes sometimes.

And they wonder why the American colonists told them to fuck off…

Thank you for sharing. I always really appreciate learning more about your life, because it has been so different from mine. Thank you also for your contributions to lemmy in general.

“Theresa’s Sound World” by Sonic Youth is the first to come to mind. The whole of Daydream Nation could probably count, honestly.

“Everything in its Right Place” by Radiohead (edit: idiot autocorrect) is another one I’ve often taken an audio bath in. Much of that album works too. I just hate the final song.

Absolutely horrendous. Please never listen to whoever gave you that. I am very serious: that shows such a lack of understanding anything about people, whoever is using this as a teaching material should be fired and banned from working with children. But they won’t, because toxic bullshit like this is what administrators love.

I am really sorry this is your educational experience. It is not supposed to be like this. Introversion and extroversion are just stupid labels that try to make things easy. Those labeled introverts are often the most generous, thoughtful people who actually listen to and cooperate with others.

Thank you for this link!

Yeah, it’s kinda similar to teriyaki.

You also really undercooked all of them. Needs at least a little brown on the edges. Center can be nearly raw tho, for the textural contrast.

Bro, I am perfectly aware of all that. I have noticed this specific user making this comment more than once with no lmao (which is usually short for “laughing my ass off” not “out”) or other indication of levity.

I was trying to be a nice human and check in on a fellow human. Humor is a wonderful thing and can be a great tool for dealing with life, but it can also be a cover for fear and sadness that needs to be addressed.

Yes, I’m being serious in a meme community. You can choose to ignore me if this set you off. But in that case, maybe you need to consider how you are using humor to ignore the things you need to work on.

If you were simply trying to help someone you honestly thought was new to the internet, I appreciate your attempt. But your style of interaction makes me feel like you are trying to belittle an attempt to honestly show care for another human, and that is not cool.

Please, let’s not make that the norm it was at the other place. There are enough other places where you can go on the internet and be this kind of immature.

Oh! I’m sorry, I didn’t realize his degree was from YouTube. Clearly his expertise is beyond mine and my lame university degrees. I shan’t bother him with all my literal knowledge of the progression between Old and Middle English.
