So this was before cell phones, and I’ll bet the landlines got knocked out by the quake, so yeah, in the immediate aftermath, you’d have no idea if your family was ok until you raced home to check on them. Makes perfect sense they wouldn’t stop to take the shit off first.

If you saw it moving, that means it wasn’t an Angel. They literally don’t exist when observed.

Is this the same magnifier that pops up in other apps? Like if you open an email app, or your text app, does it popup when you select text there? If so it’s an android feature, not a Firefox one

Btw in case anyone wants to smile, Newgrounds.com is still kicking. Same owner, same purpose, still no ads.

It’s kind of beautiful. I feel the need to protect it in this current internet hellscape. Like some rare specimen of near extinct species, this one must survive

I’ll be real with you:

The ideal of college you believed you would experience is only for the extroverts. If you didn’t make the effort to go out and meet people and do things, it’s likely you’ll just be going to class for 4 years.

A lot of kids think when they go to college, a social life just happens, naturally, by proximity. No, college is an excellent time, maybe the easiest time, to really socialize. But you still have to do get out of your dorm. They’re not coming inside to take you away.

TVTome was my very first. Such a fun site. Basically a proto-wikia from the early 2000s. You managed a page for individual TV shows and filled it with info, and every show had it’s own forum attached, that you moderated.

And then, as a sign of things to come over the next 20 years, the onwer of that site sold it off, along with all the community created works, and the community forums that went with them, to some trash company whose name I can’t even remember anymore, and it doesn’t matter because they probably got bought at some point too.

TVTome became TV.com, over the massive protests of its community. And it went to shit immediately.

Now tv.com is…shit, it isn’t even around anymore? Wikipedia and Wikia destroyed that niche, and then Fandom enshitifed Wikia.

And btw, if you haven’t watched since Smith, you really, really should dive back in and watch Capaldi’s era. Even if you didn’t care for him at first, his Doctor is a slow burn. His second and third seasons are phenomenal and by the end he rivals Tennant for my all time favorite.

We don’t know yet.

David came back to play the Doctor for the 60th Anniversary, so we’re getting a story where regeneration went wonky. But it’s only temporary.

Basically, 13 regenerated into Tennant again (changing clothes this time in the process which is unusual), and the Doctor reacts with confusion. That was the new years special last December. The specials this year will have Tennant again and explain why 13 regenerated into a familiar face. After the specials, Gatwa takes over as the official new Doctor.

would rather not use anything google because of privacy reasons.

Amazon is just as bad if not worse.
