It can be a hard watch, no doubt. I’d disagree about it aging well, but I think I get where you’re coming from with that too.
It’s one of those movies where you have to kinda be in the frame of mind to look at it like abstract art sometimes. If you try and watch it as an actual sci-fi movie, it’s gonna fail hard (the SPACE part makes it seem like a sci-fi film, but it really isn’t).
It suffers from some really artsy (as opposed to artistic) pacing and editing at times. And I like the movie a good bit.
Well, yeah, it’s normal.
When you find goodness in the world, and it shares a common denominator, it is perfectly normal to develop some degree or another of affection/attachment for that common denominator. You don’t have to be depressed for that, it just makes it easier.
It can turn into an unhealthy obsession, and it’s possible that the motivations may not be without strings (cults and such), but those aren’t going to be the case every time.
Like, for me, I have a deep and abiding love for gay culture, specifically gay male culture, because of how much love I have received from that subculture. That has expanded over the years to embrace the entire rainbow of the LGBTQ+ community (with some extra affection for my trans folks). You go for a while needing acceptance and open appreciation, you’re going to end up returning it when a specific group is where you find it.
Truth is that the more sub a subculture is, the more likely the people in it are to be outsiders in some way. Maybe marginalized, maybe just atypical; but whether they were individually outsiders that found solidarity, or they became such by joining the subculture, outsiders have a tendency to be at least a little more accepting of other outsiders (though you run into some weird shit where you get schisms sometimes).
And it can be local. As an example, I’ve had universally great interactions with juggalos in my area, but they can be major dicks in other places. As another, furries tend to be really chill with non furries that accept them but can have bitter faction wars with each other.
Don’t let yourself get sucked into any cult shit, but otherwise find the goodness of humanity wherever you can, and enjoy it. Nothing wrong with that

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Can pets tell who's petting them without looking?
2·12 days agoOf course, at least under normal circumstances.
Like humans or wild animals, a pet is going to have their full sensory array available. Even a blind and deaf animal can pick up vibrations as someone approaches then, feel changes in air movement, etc.
Since hands are different sizes, even if they were asleep at the moment of contact, it wouldn’t take long to figure out whose hand was on them. Obviously , that might be negated if the hands are similar enough, but I would suspect that even then the differences in how a person pets them would be useful.
You could likely create a situation to bypass everything and “fool” a pet, but that’s what you’d have to do.
Oh damn! That was a fun ride lol

This is the first I’d heard of skype a scientist, but holy shit am I in love with the project. Fucking brilliant!
The “wook” thing? What is that, a typo?
Man, I so love the energy of that.
But fuck, I am so happy in my jeans and tees. Comfy as fuck!
Only reason I went with the speed boat was the claim to fame of the falcon being able to veritably rip through the Kessel run. Depending on the interpretation of the whole “12 parsecs” thing, that implies either high speed or superior maneuverability. Plus, in some of the combat scenes, the falcon is both fast enough and nimble enough to hang with ships that are zipping around with little effort.
I don’t think vintage van is apt.
I think I’d go more with the something like a juiced up truck, or maybe hummer.
However, you could make the more apt comparison by sticking with ships.
The falcon was a smugglers’ ship, so it would be more like one of those fast cigarette boats drug runners use (or used to at least) rather than a car at all.
You missed this part:
The pharmacological approach in this study, however, uses a pharmacologic agent (P7C3-A20) that enables cells to maintain their proper balance of NAD+ under conditions of otherwise overwhelming stress, without elevating NAD+ to supraphysiologic levels.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What adult dude in your life has the most Michael Landon-esque full head of hair?
3·19 days agoNot important to me. I dig the skullet I have, and the shape of my head works for me overall.
Plus, my beard is fucking epic :)
It happens :)
Something that would be said in person in a way that makes it obvious as a joke doesn’t scan as well in text. Add in the divergent thinking so that even the text is different than what a neurotypical person would think of as a dark joke, and things can fall flat (or worse).
Keep at it though, humor is the only thing getting a lot of folks through life, even when it’s dark

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What adult dude in your life has the most Michael Landon-esque full head of hair?
4·20 days agoUsed to be my grandfather.
The man had magnificent salt & pepper hair right up to his death, though the salt was well into taking over in his late seventies. Absolutely amazing hair. Alas, the genes for male pattern baldness hit me because that’s how it works.






My dude, bandanas exist. Clean hands on your own bandana is as good as it gets.
Find what they call trainman, signalman or similar ones. They’re bigger, tend to be easy to find in thicker fabric, and can do other jobs as well.
As you roll up to the sink, pull the bandana out, drape it around your neck. Wash, shake a little, grab the bandana and dry off.
It’ll go right back in your pocket and not cause any problems very slightly damp. If need be, leave it hanging loosely around the neck or out of the pocket so it’ll dry.
