   "I can't even begin to understand what you're talking about," said Kate, "you say that I, we —"
   "You can begin to understand," said Thor, angrily, "which is why I have come to you. Do you know that most people hardly see me? Hardly notice me at all? It is not that we are hidden. We are here. We move among you. My people. Your gods. You gave birth to us. You made us what you would not dare to be yourselves. Yet you will not acknowledge us. If I walk along one of your streets in this... world you have made for yourselves without us, then barely an eye will once flicker in my direction."
   "Is this when you're wearing the helmet?"
   "Especially when I'm wearing the helmet!"

     @Mans R The latest two full episodes S11E14 and S11E15 of LWT had followups on a spin-off topic from the main Red Lobster story of S11E13, and it was silly and impressively performed with commitment to the bit, by the target of Oliver's joke.

   "Pappa! Come here! Why is the rain doing that?!"

   Our towers are spaced close to each other, maybe the tower is 50 m wide and the distance wall-to-wall to the next tower is just 10 m or even less, so the passage between two towers can have pretty high wind speeds.

   Now it's raining and windy, so first of all we can see the general vertical rain outside the window, nothing weird with that. But occasionally there will be a powerful burst of wind between the towers and it will bring with it a white spray of water sucked in from the other side of the passage. So you kind of see these waves of white spray through the air, it's quite a unique view.

    Went into the Garfield movie with very low expectations.

    It has a story, which is generic but not bad. Some jokes are boring, some fun. The emotional content is plastic.

    The visual art is high quality, occasionally brilliant! Hannah Waddingham's voice acting is a delight!

    Check out this villain song with Waddingham!

      @Angry Sun @Doughnut Lollipop 【記録係】:blobfoxgooglymlem: @triodug None of the JJ Trek are memorable, they're 100% that "reuse names" thing I described, more so than Discovery.

      Discovery tries a lot of things and loses its footing. JJ Trek doesn't try anything.

      @Angry Sun JJ and DIS got some Trek out there and kept the name profitable until we got SNW, so I can't really hate on them.

      I don't think DIS hates Trek, I just think it tries too hard to be young and hip and relevant. Either way, it's a wrap now. Soon we'll have Academy to gripe about!

    ♲ @navigium@grindcore.ch: Sadly I have a feeling that Hospitality Exchange is on a downward spiral. Couchsurfing has become a for profit venture long ago. Now Warmshowers is going down the same route as Couchsurfing, resulting in a lot of requests by people who aren't interested in the community but are only looking for free accommodation. Trustroots decided to decentralize with crypto bros (Nostr). I don't have much hope that this improves the sense of community and therefore the requests you get.

    This leaves us with BeWelcome and hospitality exchange networks like Servas that predate the internet.

    @SDF.ORG @SDF I just realized there's a social.sdf.org in addition to the mastodon.sdf.org. What's the intended difference in use between the two?

    mastodon.sdf.org
    - Mastodon / GNU Social
    social.sdf.org - Smaller, SDF member instance

    sdf.org/?tutorials/social_netw…

    Should I read this as m.s.o being an open registration server for the general public, while s.s.o is for registered SDF members only?

    Checking their signup pages, they look similar but slightly different, and both seem to be general-purpose with registrations subject to review. No specific exclusion criteria mentioned.

      This came up in a discussion the other day, and by coincidence it now showed up in the "on this day" reminder on another network where I had also posted it.
      
      

      ♲ @clacke@libranet.de: Me, calling dad on his mobile: Something is weird with your landline. It says "number not in use".

      Dad: Nope, nothing wrong. I canceled it. They were raising the monthly fee a couple of euros and we have mobiles, so we don't need it.

      Perfectly reasonable from an objective point of view, but .... but ... That phone number is a decade older than I am! I literally have life memories tied to that number.

      This is the kind of movie that should have worked, good actors and cinematography, interesting enough story, not bad for a superhero origin story.

      The script just lacks a certain something that would make it click. Also it's Bladerunner weather all the time.
