Boy: Do not try and bend the Trump. That's impossible. Instead... only try to realize the truth.
Neo: What truth?
Boy: There is no Trump.
Neo: There is no Trump?
Boy: Then you'll see, that it is not the Trump that bends, it is only yourself.

Reading self-diagnosis checklists and articles (for entertainment purposes only, don't self-diagnose, etc), I see an enormous overlap between ADHD symptoms and autism.

What would make the distinction?

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 hours ago

Yeah, I kind of enjoyed Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman back then.

Because of a general sense in the population that they do work. It's kind of a myth of super competence.

Of course, "lie detectors" are bunk.

He could also use a plethysmograph to see which male staff likes him.

NB: Polygraphs are a hilarious pseudo-science just slightly above palm reading and astrology.

I stopped seeing computers as useful about 20 years ago when these "social media" things started appearing.

Straitjacket. I don't get it either but that's what it is.

"pityness"? Even pithiness I don't get your meaning.

A pigeon that can send B-2s ...

 

I saw it when it came out and only remember that I thought it was pretty good. Maybe I'll watch it this weekend.

 

A good find this afternoon I think. 10$ for these two, and Strangelove is in a metal jewel case thingy. Pretty good.

 

Star Trek The Motionless Picture through The Undiscovered Country plus The Captain's Summit for 7.50$. That's decent

 

Not me! Maybe not the best selection, there were more Warner Brothers discs, infamous for bit rot (it's real, even their regular DVDs die prematurely), I passed on those. I have a few and they are all dead.

[For those who don't know, HDDVD was the HD format that lost the format wars of the early 2000s. There are very few readers any more out there. The XBOX 360's external reader is one, the Toshiba machines are the others. I have both!]

 

Pretty lame I guess but this is pretty fancy and looks like unused and unopened. It really slowly, smoothly AND silently opens up.

Now to find magneto-optical disks.

 

All 6 seasons with 6 still sealed. Nostalgia, baby. I miss the '90s!

 

A real horroshow Bluray

 

A nice hat trick for today. I happened to be there when they were bringing fresh meat to the shelves. Picked 'em right off the cart. I mean "The Prisoner"? Come on now. Cosmos 2014 on Bluray?

 

Hey for 4$ who can complain? Each disc is immaculate.

 

Not sure if this falls into "thrifting". This store used to have pleasant deals on materials but I'd say in the last few years they went nuts with the prices.

The only deal I ever got there was an IKEA filing cabinet on wheels in new condition for like 20$. The kind of IKEA stuff that had heft to it, not the newer stuff.

No wonder they closed, charging twice the price of new for donated items. Far worse than Renaissance or VV.

 

It's like new. I guess I'll have to start playing games now, does Solitaire support joysticks?

C'est rare que je trouve des séries Québecoises. Je suis bien content d'avoir trouvé celle-ci, mais trouver la Saison 2... pas sur
