According to some people on the fediverse, the Kagi forum thread that is linked in the toots I posted above and seemingly nowhere else.

From a non political standpoint: I tried Kagi last year and it was ok but I didn’t get the big deal. And because I’m not in the US but the UK if you try searching where’s my nearest garage or stay the nearest result came up as 150 miles away. So it’s one of those things I’ll maybe return to it once it’s developed a bit more

The definitive Doctor for me. Growing up during the wilderness years and VHS and UK Gold repeats were what we had to go on I loved both the earlier ‘horror’ seasons and the more humorous ones with the Romanas.

Wonderful actor.

Ace and the 7th Doctor were the first Doctor Who I saw - her beating up a Dalek with a baseball bat is my favourite companion moment ever from all of Who!

The sources I find are solely from mastodon threads, and date from this month and the Brave thing. This is the best thing I’ve found

Rick is just 12 having some downtime

God’s sake. I mean… At least he’s apologising? I could imagine some of our recent lot doubling down on this and refusing to give in to wokeness blah blah blah…

But yeah. I’m really trying hard to be charitable cos it’s Christmas and everything. That’s not really pleasant stuff to hear from the guy who is in charge of the Police (over 1,100 under investigation for sexual assault or domestic violence atm)

Love his Thursday Next books to bits!

It depends on the game, character etc. I mean I suppose it adds to the escapism slightly?

I play all sorts of different games though, some where you’re not given the choice (Life Is Strange for example) and I don’t feel like it’s that big a deal

Are you Ian Levine?

It could grow on me. It’s hard to tell without seeing it in action

Not that it’s especially convincing but I think that the idea was that he was ‘playing a game’ when he’d been doing that stuff with the salt and then thrown it out into the ether for no reason other than messing about.

Or something? I don’t know. Much as I love a lot about RTD as a writer, he’s definitely not a details man on story elements…

I think it’s the ‘Boss’ and they’re building up an arc.

With the whole gold tooth thing I really hope it’s not as obvious as The Master but who knows yet

Yeah me and my son watched it and both preferred it to Star Beast (though we both liked Star Beast too) - Doctor Who does weird /surreal/uncanny exceptionally well and it had a nightmare Alice in Wonderland vibe in its visuals, especially when the Not Doctor/Donna were blocking the tunnel.

The Doctor picking the wrong Donna got us both, and seeing Wilf at the end was great. I loved the way that the Timeless Child was acknowledged in a dramatic way and moved on from (it’s a nod that RTD is respecting the continuity of the show but not going to let it get in the way of a good story).

If I was going to criticise, I’d say there was a bit of padding (really unlike Doctor Who) and some of the effects weren’t as good as they thought they were. But really what could be better for an anniversary story where they’re literally running up and down the same corridor?

Plus - technically a multi doctor story!

(I bet if I was younger and watching this high it would have been astonishing…)

What if this is the afterlife of a religion we don’t know about from our previous existence?

I don’t think you can have a rational reply to your question - it’s all head canon

The worst thing to do would be an inorganic botch job on here to fill a gap when there’s no need, you can read that content elsewhere.

Anyway, it’s not an automatic guarantee of engagement or interaction. It’s purely a hack move.

I’m happy to use Reddit if I feel I can’t find anything to read on Kbin. You are allowed to use both you know?

I work in healthcare. Never sounds this much fun, sorry, disgraceful.

That’s a very fair point

I mean yeah I vape, that makes sense because it wasn’t the nicotine itself which was killing my lungs.

Apparently nicotine itself is as bad for you as caffeine, the worst thing about it is it’s insanely addictive without giving much of a high or anything in return…

That’s a very black and white way of putting it. As long as you’re an adult who can tell the difference between fantasy and reality, and you’re not spending hours obsessed with it I don’t think it’s unhealthy. The way you phrase ‘avoid it completely’ makes it sound like you’re going out of your way to avoid it already.

(I think the problems are coming through with the generation being ‘brought up on porn’, and thinking real sex is like it is in the videos online but that’s a different story really.)

Can cigarettes be used in a healthy way? Eh, only in very specific scenarios

Gonna have to bite and ask what very specific scenarios smoking could be healthy?
