ADISC is the only place that I saw rational discussion on forums. Bsky is okay but it leans much toward "show off" that is normal for social media. There were a lot of people on adisc really trying to understand themselves and the fandom.

There are people who will read all 900 pages of a brief. Or ten thousand pages of FOIA documents, while correlating multiple releases to remove as much redaction as possible.
This is what they do every day all day. Very few lies make it past them. Why does the fascist regime keep trying to do it?

I grew up able to see the Milky Way from the backyard. My parent's recently sold that house and the stargazing was mostly not worth it anymore. Light pollution is a serious problem.

It takes a full hour to drive out of street lighting were I live. I was screaming about excessive lighting the whole time. Then you would find a dark patch but realize the direction you needed to look had a car dealership glowing up the horizon. So back into the car to keep wardriving.

So many wonderful evening of watching my Dad play Myst and me trying to figure it out on my own during the day. I didn't get far.

Would be a good feature to have basic accounts auto nuke after 30 days. Premium accounts could hold longer?

Can you imagine walking down the street with everyone starring at your clipped feathers? You would feel so exposed.

The Sansa I had with the Rockbox alternative firmware is basically my dream digital music device. Its only crime in life was the extremely limited storage.

For sure. Put the chairs up so the custodians could come through at night.
Now, I'm trying to think when I stopped doing it.

They absolutely can not. Hasbro hasn't written a book for it yet. That knowledge would be otherwise forbidden. *Hasbro executives start reaching for the phone to call legal.*
