What do you just not give a single fuck about that so many people try to make you give a shit about?
  • I realized far too late that most mainstream media is about maximizing views and not telling those stories that worth telling as you said. They start with an interesting idea for a story and if it gets popular it just drags on to get the most amount of eyeballs for as long as possible only for it to end long after it should have with an unsatisfying ending.

    And don’t get me started on injecting soap opera esque character drama just to keep the lowest common denominator inerested (looking at you For All Mankind)

  • Are you a cat or dog person and why?
  • Right now I’m a fish person due to a lack of space, free time, and energy. Have had both cats and dogs and have loved them to pieces but I’m happy to play puppy and kitty uncle for a while

  • Question for Metalworkers
  • Calling me a metalworker would be an insult to real metalworkers everywhere. That said, depending on the size of the piece of steel, it’s probably not worth your time to fill in then grind flat when local big box hardware stores sell common sizes of “welding steel” for relatively cheap and as the other poster wrote, McMaster-Carr has just about any size piece of angle you can think of.

    Source: was a kid with no money scrounging in what was left of grandpa’s (tool maker) machine shop who is now an adult and now buys the parts I need rather than trying to make do

  • Do you usually purchase digital or physical books? Why?
  • I mostly read ebooks but I do buy physical copies of books I want to have on the shelf in the weird hope that maybe my kids or niblings might stumble upon in the future and spark an interest. Luckily I have a really good used bookstore near me that I can buy them for fairly cheaply so I consider it a cheap long term investment that will hopefully pay dividends

  • Have you ever been to a movie so terrible that you saw people leaving the theater? Which one was it?
  • I’m with you to a point. There were many points in the movie where I turned to my wife and asked “I thought we were building a bomb?” I’ll say that it wasn’t a terrible movie but I think I would have enjoyed a documentary on Oppenheimer or the development of the bomb rather than a biopic where the director needs to make art.
