I didn’t know about that song. We had the disco one at home.

She’s already done peacekeeping for the UN, bringing in war criminals etc. And she was ambassador for Themiscyra. So no time for this goodwill stuff.

I have to go my notifications page to see them. I’ve done it so often I just have to start typing “kin” in the navigation bar and the link comes up.

It’s not your fault the job market is a mess. People are talking about how automation will take away a lot of jobs in the future, but I’m beginning to realize it’s been happening for some time now, only instead of total unemployment and bread lines we have lack of job security and underemployment. Vote for a basic…

Havelock Ellis, The Psychology of Sex. It keeps putting me to sleep, but when I try to have a nap I’m not sleepy anymore.

Check out volume 2 Wonder Woman. They rebooted her in the ‘80s (two men did it, but the head of DC at the time was a woman, and they consulted a lot of feminists) and it was amazing! Very woman-centred.

Some of those are big enough for me!

I never liked her in the ‘70s (she seemed a little uptight, also her hair was straight) but the ‘80s reboot totally blew me away. Her backstory, with the Amazons being reincarnated women who had been killed by men, brought back to make things better (by a team of mostly goddesses, not gods). Then them having to deal…

Guilt! When my first bf dumped me, he wanted to stay friends and I wasn’t interested. Partly because by that point I didn’t like him anymore, and would have dumped him first if I’d known how.

Pennies don’t have any real value. They’re symbolic at this point. I say this as a long-term member of the underclass (I’m on disability).

I’ve said elsewhere here that it’s still important to pick up every little coin. (I do it. Why, only yesterday I used up an entire wetwipe cleaning a very muddy dime I rescued from a crosswalk!) If nothing else, it helps for giving proper change at small businesses, who appreciate that sort of thing.

Exactly.

Stuart Wilde (an older New Age guru) used to say that it’s bad something (manners? karma? New Age-ing?) to leave money on the ground. If you value money, you should value it enough to pick it up if someone else neglects to. (I once saw a man drop a penny on the ground as if it was lint he picked out of his pocket. I…

Those coins aren’t valuable enough to do any of those things. :(

I googled and was shocked to see that Beachcombers was on for 2 decades, to 1990. (I thought it was ‘70s only.) I tried to watch that show and could not get into it.

Oh, you meant as testimony. Sorry, I misread.

I’m autistic, and while I don’t normally record conversations, when I have I have found it very helpful after to remind me exactly what was and was not said, since I tend to have a hard time remembering details well and often get them wrong. In a tense situation it can be handy.

Me too. Did you know they have indoor jungle gyms? I want one. And the space to put it.

You’re going to be working in an office for decades, unless your job gets automated. Most actors have no job security, and get paid more because of that. And most actors really don’t get paid much at all - there are only a few who do well. Their job description is terrible, with sexual harassment and other awful…

It’s not that simple. Researchers started saying that stars don’t necessarily have star power at the box office a long time ago. (Around the time of Boxing Helena, if not earlier). And some actors choose big budget films, which do well (budget = biggest predictor of box office by a wide margin) while others, e.g.…
