Still a good deal. You don’t have to colonize a planet, you’re 50 biological years younger than you would have been and you have knowledge of that past that may have been lost. Your immediate family is probably with you, so you just time traveled and brought your loved ones, which is basically unheard of even in fiction. On top of that, you’re the kind of person that would jump into the dark to see what was there, so now that there’s FTL you can do that on a grander scale. This is a good deal all around.

Don’t pet strange dogs on the top of their head, to them it feels like you are trying to dominate. Pet them on the shoulder or chest with your hand visible to them. Better yet, let the dog come to you and leave it alone if it doesn’t.
sploosh@lemmy.worldto Just Post@lemmy.world•Seeing this question asked is sort of sad. Did this become a less common experience? What killed it?7·10 days agoI (an older millenial) went to a prep school and big parties in huge, beautiful parties happened every few weeks when someone’s parents were out if town. Kegs, red cups, the host freaking out over the mess and people making out/banging in bedrooms were all standard. Because the prep school was small, we would end up getting all our friends from other schools together so they’d end up massive, loud and rowdy affairs. Cops usually got called, but were uninterested in a bunch of kids whose parents were likely lawyers, so no one got in trouble unless they tried to drive drunk. To be young, wealthy and white in America is a good time.
Don’t worry, I am broke now. Still white tho.

Equal? I wish I could cum half as much as my wife. She gets basically unlimited orgasms and I’m lucky to hit more than 2 a night.

Different strokes for different nations. Literal strokes in this case.
sploosh@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Singapore Workshop owner gets jail, fine for illegally modifying motorcycles' exhaust4·21 days agoSingapore has a population density around 7800 people per square kilometer. With that many people, many of whom ride motorcycles because its so crowded, regulating their noise and emissions output is in everyone’s interest. Singapore also does not fuck around with punishments. They have mandatory canings for some lower crimes and they execute hundreds of people a year for drug offenses.
The US does similar things. You aren’t allowed to modify the ECUs on cars to push them outside EPA standards. A truck mechanic got tagged for installing devices that let people roll coal and ended up with huge fines.

If you think you’re depressed, please go see a doctor. Therapy does work and modern antidepressants aren’t anywhere near the nightmare of side effects they used to be. Seriously, you can feel better all the time and it is way easier than you might think.

Around these parts we call that getting sternwheeled, after my wife’s stunning realization that they are so named because of the wheel at their stern.
