    I remember when the Cell arc started when I was in like 5th grade on Cartoon Network and Trunks was introduced. I always thought curtain hair was super cool at the time and he also had a dope jacket and a sweet sword. Not to mention a gritty backstory being trained by a BADASS Gohan in a dystopic wasteland. Future Trunks gets my vote all day every day.

    I caught Beetlejuice Beetlejuice and it was a fun time, I appreciated the practical effects and dourly hilarious dialogue and characters. Not a huge Juice head, but I thought it was a fun popcorn movie.

    IIRC, Behind the Bastards mentioned Kissinger was a huge part of the push, which is interesting because he is also Jewish.

    Do you have any concrete information that points to a successful green party win in the current electoral system controlled entirely by the two parties that isn't just ensuring Trump is the next president again (who Russia actively strives to promote through actual propaganda farms)? If not then you're not bringing solutions, you're just muddying the waters for no productive reason.

    "people aren't allowed to change their minds after 8 years regardless of any information that they may learn in that time"

    Sure.

    As someone who has previously voted for Stein in a deep blue state, there's no skin in the game for her so she can say whatever she wants. I regret it now because I was still upset about what the DNC did to Bernie in the primary. I just don't understand the viability of a third party besides as a spoiler under the current system (by design I'm sure). Blue MAGA is a thought terminating cliche though, using a broad brush to sweep disagreement aside but you do you.

    When the headline said "identified by top" I thought something else entirely, what a betrayal and power top move that would have been.

    I finally landed a job offer, and I start on Monday. I had to take a $6/hr pay cut to do the same service position so that's a tough pill to swallow, but a job is a job and everyone says it's easier to find a job when you have a job. I'm feeling really bitter about the loss though. Getting laid off, waiting 3 months, and then accepting a pay cut has just been a wallop, especially when my wife is expecting our second child in October. Thanks for checking in though, I appreciate the follow up!

    Help

    I was laid off earlier this month from my job as an HVAC service tech due to lack of work, a first in the 8 years I've been in the industry. I'm looking for work but the mild winter in California has made my job obsolete until it gets hot and I'm feeling ROUGH. My wife became pregnant with our second child last month, and my hours have been slashed since last October, so money is tight, and our relationship is strained. I'm considering a career change but I have a couple thousand dollars worth of specialized tools and experience that I'm loathe to put aside. I'm feeling hopeless and I just wanted to reach out to other dads to vent and see if there's other ideas out there.

    Understanding ADHD

    Hey everyone, I saw a community called ADHD Talk, but it's got no users, so I came here instead. I like this community because it provides a lot of funny contexts for the difficulties I come across in understanding my diagnosis, and some honest stories from other ADHD people (victims? Possessors?, Space cadets?) It's also hard because, like some legitimate OCD possessing members that groan at every mild example of specificity, it's hard to filter out the general decrease of attention spans due to technological advances/rapid cuts used in animation from other people trying to understand and live with a diagnosed disorder. Anyways, hoping I can make some new friends here (which despite being very social in person and 33 years old, I haven't figured out how to make friends online somehow?)

    ADHD Talk

    I just wanted to find some people to talk to about ADHD, but didn't see anything here. Hoping I can see what other folks on Lemmy are focusing/not focusing on. I'm a 33 year old who was diagnosed 2 years ago, and when I talked to my dad about it, he just said, "well yeah, you've always been a little...*Insert vague hand wave here*" I'm currently taking straterra because the psychiatrist asked me if I wanted to do scheduled or unscheduled, and the scheduled stuff scares me a bit. I often wonder if it's working, because attention is such a subtle thing. I am getting better at remembering things I need to do and mustering the initial momentum to get started on small tasks. I am also becoming painfully aware of how my brain is working differently than other people's but I've been badly masking so long that I don't know how to reconcile the differences. Anyways, I love talking to people face to face (probably to absorb all of their social cues apparently?), so I've never figured out how to connect to people online. As a card carrying millennial, I want to figure out how to fix that.
