far afield what does that mean? what mistakes did you make? i’m graduating next year but for me i won’t label anything i felt a mistake. I think people should’t go looking for “new starts” that’s like an amputee looking for a new spare limb :/ lol,.

my plan is to get them some decently aged bottles of wine or port or whatever, or even ceremoniously aged as in the year they started college. what’s your word on that?
I don’t drink so I don’t know if I’m the best person to ask about that, but it sounds like an excellent idea!

IDK how casting Benedict Cumberbatch as Khan isn’t disrespectful to Gene Roddenberry tbh.
That man fought networks tooth and nail to have people of different races on his show. He fought long and hard to have an interracial kiss on TV.

I think the next Spiderman movie should have Sam Alexander in it and he should be played by Tyler Posey and I would cut out my still beating heart for this to happen.

I have several confessions
As time goes by I am less and less engaged by Sherlock and the idea of a story without Joan Watson.
Hannibal doesn’t interest me at all. There is no appeal.
I don’t think I can watch another episode of Supernatural without a great deal of regret for what could have been.
If River, Donna, or Martha are absent, I don’t care about what goes on in Doctor Who.

What is classed as a Big Cat?
eyes-of-the-cat:
I get asked this a lot, and there isn’t actually a specific answer!
Many people class only the Panthera as Big Cats: Lions, tigers, jaguars and leopards (Panthera pardus). These are the only members of the cat family who can roar.
It’s debatable whether the Snow Leopard (Uncia uncia) should be included in the Panthera genus, despite the fact that it cannot roar.
Other people...

I get two reactions from people when I tell them I’m on antidepressants. From other people with depression, anxiety, eating disorders, or other similar mental afflictions, they’re like, good on you, you’re happy, you’re getting help, and that’s good.
People who aren’t dealing with those things are always like, ‘You don’t want to depend too much on...

I love Star Trek TNG.
A guy just walked by wearing the miniskirt uniform, no one mentioned it, no one made a joke out of it, it just happened in the middle of an evacuation like yes you go Star Trek four for you Star Trek.

But I think my real accomplishment this week was emptying two full sized tissue boxes in less than five days and the sheer amount of mucus that had to be produced to fill all those tissues.

A study into whether physical activity alleviates the symptoms of depression has found there is no benefit. Research published in the British Medical Journal suggests that adding a physical activity intervention to usual care did not reduce symptoms of depression more than usual care alone. This contrasts with current clinical guidance which recommends...
