  • Yep. It's pretty simple and straightforward.

  • No, I just couldn't remember exactly when. And as another commenter pointed out, what I should have said was analog TV's.

  • Yeah you're right.

  • Showerthoughts @lemmy.world

    People born after 2000 have never seen the cosmic microwave background on their TV set.

  • They have a 50/50 chance each round. Doesn't matter how many rounds they've won.

  • I think vinegar is bad for your washer's seals. Same for dishwashers

  • I'm so sorry. Thank you for taking the time to share and for your kind words.

  • Thank you for your kind words.

  • I didn't fight for him. I didn't even try. When I called his oncology doctor and left a message, I heard back from a nurse and got no information. And further, the nurse said that the doctor doesn't speak with family of patients and wouldn't be calling me back. I should have taken my rage at that obviously fucked response and done something, whether it be forcing him to talk to me, or finding another oncologist. But I didn't. I just receded into myself and did nothing. Every single day I drove to the hospital over and over again, I'd pull over and cry before I got there. But I was so paralyzed by my fear about what was happening that I didn't turn it into action. I just asked for a nicer chair in the hospital room so I could hang out for hours on end with my dad as he died. He would have done everything in his power to help me, and for some reason I was such a scared little shit that I didn't think to become the caretaker of my dad, who was always my caretaker. He needed me and I failed him.

  • I seriously appreciate your response and your willingness to be vulnerable in sharing your own loss. I am sorry. I'm so deep in sadness that I am having a hard time processing anything.

  • I don't know why I'm sharing this. I am just a piece of shit and sorry for contaminating a good (I hope?) ST thread with my own BS

  • He also raised me on Star Trek, if that helps bring it back to why I'm here.

  • Just as an aside, my dad died horribly this past xmas after 6 months of cancer gradually destroying him and everything he'd worked so hard for. He was one of the most fit people I knew until that. He grew up skiing and was a junior patroller at 15 in colorado. By the time I was born, he was patrolling as a doctor and took me everywhere he could, and when he couldn't, he just told me to go to the patrol shack and wait. Anyways, I was with him for those last 6 months, but I curled up in a ball and did nothing to try to make his doctors do anything or find alternative treatment options like the Mayo clinic. I just curled up in a ball of fear and anxiety and did nothing. I was just paralyzed. My dad would have gone to the ends of the earth for me, and I didn't even try to save him. I don't know how to live with that.

  • There are literally dozens of us! Dozens!

    (but seriously, I constantly read posts from people about how they need star trek to make them feel ok enough to fall asleep. Or even just the thrum of the Enterprise-D's warp core).

  • Star Trek Social Club @startrek.website

    Another post about "in the pale moonlight". Sorry.

  • It's in the url...

  • I tried that multiple times. GOogle ignores my setting.
