The first couple of episodes were a bit slow as I tried to figure out what type of show it was trying to be. I'm done with season 1 now and will def keep it on the watchlist for season 2.

No, not a bad thing. Makes for a good pub trivia teammate.

Only a negative if it keeps a person from being able to focus on their job. But that's beyond just being a dilettante, that's unmanaged ADHD or something.

I would go back to 2010 and tell myself, "buy Bitcoin, sell on Dec 17, 2017, buy after it drops and sell again on April 14, 2021. If you still need money after that, reevaluate your life".

Same as I've been doing since he won last time. Stay in my more liberal home state, extend understanding to friends and relatives who live in conservative states, extend invitations to the few who might need to move to keep themselves safe. Keep donating and volunteering with the organizations I've been supporting.

I have a friend who is thinking about seeking asylum in the US. I have encouraged her to weigh her other options; there are other countries where she has friends and family that might be more welcoming to her. If Trump gets elected, I'm not sure she'll even have a viable path to the US.

No change to "not a sin to be gay, it is a sin to have gay sex". Add on that gay couples are now officially "irregular".

Wow, great strides there. (👈sarcasm)

This is just removing the previous Pope's cronies. There's nothing in the article to make me think the Pope is putting in systemic fixes to prevent his own cronies from worming their way into positions from which they can abuse their power.

I would expect any pope or leader to remove those around him who are loyal to someone else.

Weird. My DNA test didn't tell me I am X% white, Y% black, Z% Native American. It told me my DNA was a majority match for people that hailed from regions A, B, and C.

Are you sure you know how ancestry DNA tests work?

Hot yoga. Indoor climbing. Both if you can. Activity + heat + big, bright open space that tricks your brain into thinking you're getting outdoor sunlight.

Ok, that does help. Thank you!

The Thing (1982). I keep meaning to watch the 2011 remake, then I decide I should watch the original first to refresh my memory, then I don't feel like putting myself through the 2011 version anymore.

Season 2 of Vigil.

A Murder at the End of the World.

The grocery stores in my area are also full of video cameras. If I wanted to go full-privacy, I would have to wear a mask to foil facial recognition, gloves, and generic clothes that I change out of after I leave so I can't be tied to videos showing my face elsewhere.

Then how do I get to the grocery store? Drive into the store parking lot with my license plates hanging out in the wind? Lol, no.
