I do know it’s huge. It was me mostly making a joke about many of the comments on the fediverse being doom and gloom, while Star Trek is about hope and bringing all walks of life together for the better good.

It may be too hopeful of an IP for the people on the fediverse.

I use generative fill for clean up almost daily now.

Ironically, photoshop does have ai powered tools that remove backgrounds now. Not sure why they are giving themselves extra steps.

It think it’s about balance. I have the same view point as yours. Early on, my wife would just get me new things of objects I already had. The difference is timing. I would tell her after the fact to not ruin her mood. She eventually understood and learned.

Every now and then she still does get me a thing I believe I don’t need. But she’s learned to be observant and is usually correct. If it were up to me, I would likely wear socks until all 5 toes are showing through. What I do in this instance is keep the new thing and I make sure I gift the older item to someone in need of it, or as back up for myself if the space allows. I am very much known in my spaces as the person that gives things away. If you’ve been in my life at least 3yrs, you probably own something that belonged to me.

I’m not sure what the relationship is between OP and the partner, but timing of when you tell them, does matter. Don’t do it right when the person has given you the gift, just wait. From what info there is, it doesn’t sound like they are a repeat offender of violating their rules.

This reminds me of my take a bit. The meaning of life is “Living to die”, meaning you live life to choose how you die. It’s more symbolic way of living more than anything else, because many things do factor into your death.

If you have a phone with voice recognition, I sure you can just have it auto dictate when you ask it to.

What’s funny is not everyone gets credits anymore. 3rd party vendors have limits on how many names can go in the credits now.

As much as I hate to say it, I’d still much rather go to google and search reddit, than go on any other website google proposes. Everything is just trying to get you to buy nonsense or scroll through a 10 page article for a one sentence solution that is probably outdated.

Pete Davidson bought a whole collection of VHS tapes on ebay, maybe you can find a buyer.

Super Mario World was the first video game I played.

Lost Girl was pretty decent. The main character is bi.

A couple of years short of your timeline, but Riverdale had a couple on the show.

I believe it was originally supposed to be a kiss that ended the show, but they didn’t get their way.

That would also be true! Which means we are all aliens inside.

I don’t believe in reincarnation, but one thing that isn’t mentioned enough is that there aren’t enough “souls” for everyone to have a reincarnation. If you rewind the clock back, once the original (for the sake of this exercise) 100 people died, the next generation would have 200-300 people already alive due to multiple children, which means they would halve mostly new souls. Fast forward to today, I’d imagine a lot of people would have baby souls.

The right one definitely looks like it would be more high end.

I had rules until I started getting an allowance and could guy my own games. That was around the time of GameCast.

Rules

• Nothing M rated
• Only 1 new game per year, so choose wisely
• We could rent from blockbuster, but I couldn’t rent the same game more than once, so I better finish that game in 3days, 5 days if they were feeling generous that week.
• I was allowed to borrow games between friends, but since I had like 4 games to trade, they never wanted to let me borrow their games.

You can do everything correctly and still have someone say they wouldn’t rehire you for X. I think it’s better to look forward and not back.
