I know this is from Australia but when I first saw the words “Victorian man” all I could think of was this:

To be fair imagine you just arrived in 2018 from Victorian England and discovered Take On Me, what are you supposed to do, not blast it loud enough for your family to hear it all the way back in 1876?

"All drugs are drugs" = a surprisingly radical position that will upset people right across the political spectrum

This means:

If you draw a hard line between "drug" and "medicine" based on current legality where you live (or any other criteria) you've gone wrong somewhere,

If you think legality and/or prescription status tells you all you need about a substance's capacity to do massive harm to someone's body, mind or well-being you've gone wrong somewhere,

If you think legality and/or prescription status tells you all you need about a substance's capacity to contribute meaningfully to someone's healing, function or happiness you've gone wrong somewhere,

If you think certain substances should be excluded from informed consent (either withheld or forcibly administered) you've gone wrong somewhere.

DS9, Diskworld crossover!

Vetinari and Ducat hate each other. Ducat is under the impression that Vetinari likes him.

Vimes and Odo have a great deal of respect for each other. They enjoy telling stories about their usual suspects.

Moist and Quark become fast friends. They spend their days cooking up mad scams together.

Adora Belle Dearheart finds a soulmate in Kira. They see eye to eye on most of the important issues. Kira puts up with the smoking.

Rincewind is running circles around Q. Q finds this maddening and makes Rincewind his new obsession.

Carrot and Worf are both orphans who grew up in foreign lands. They may not be friends, but there is at least an unspoken agreement between them that the honor of the other is beyond reproach.

O'Brian is fascinated by Hex. He spends a great deal of time trying to understand how it works.

Garak and Nanny Ogg instantly clock each other as a kindred spirit. Two friendly people that enjoy chatting, and are far more than their carefully managed personas.

Sisko and Death become close friends. It was strange at first (for Sisko), but now Sisko finds great comfort in their brief chats.

Jadzia and Tiffany Aching bond over being polymaths that did amazing things before they became adults.

Dr. Bashir is fascinated by the mindset of the Wizards at Unseen University. He delights in picking apart the strange logics they live by.

Persona 4 was set in the near future when it came out. Now that the remake is coming (if they keep all the original dates the same) It will be a period drama about the recent past.

warrior who came to me for advice: i just don’t know if i should listen to the telepathic trees, who say i should save the forest, or my adopted wolf mother, who says i should cut it down to build my city. that’s why i came to you… should i go with Psi Ents or Dog Ma?

me: your existence feels fairly contrived

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

I don't remember telepathic trees being part of the creation of Rome

[zoraluigi]

Well yeah, that's cause Romulus decided to listen to Dog Ma

that post about negotiation with hoas by threatening to set up a ham radio tower bc the fcc would back you up will not work at all even slightly but i will say that the blood feud between hoas and ham radio ppl is real & eternal. like if you want to get around hoa rules a ham radio person will probably have ideas

[alivehouse]

once again thinking about this guys “birdhouse” bc his hoa banned antennas but not “birdhouses”

[chickencourtesan]

One time I was helping a ham radio guy with his email and mentioned how I wanted to get into ham radio, but couldn’t because I lived in an apartment. That guy immediately rattled off like, five different ways I could set up a radio antenna inside my apartment, and seven different ways I could hide/disguise the antenna and still get a decent radio signal. Ham radio enthusiasts are a hybrid between boy scouts and wizards and I love them they play an important role in our ecosystem
