I’ve learned that “you should write a blog about this!” is a polite way people try to tell me I’m being overwhelming lol
This could have been Omegle if society wasn’t sick. 😔
I believe the proper vehicle would be a forum.
The real problem is the dumper isn’t always as structured as the dumpee requires. Most Exciting/Interesting in First out is one hell of a pipeline.
My wife has banned me from mentioning the following topics when we meet new people:
- DARK (Netflix)
- Julian May’s ‘Saga of Pliocene Exile’ novels
- Cold War submarine types
I’m not familiar with the first two but Cold War submarines! Hell yes!
Go watch DARK. Do not pass go. Turn off your phone. Watch it in the original German with subtitles. Focus and take lots of notes re who is related to who. Consider buying a whiteboard for Seasons 2 and 3. Remember that every single scene, every line of dialogue, is vital to the plot.
You had me at “go buy a white board”!
If you want to talk a monologue about dark, I’m here to listen
Thank you! I’ve been trying to spot potential plot errors (obvs. only potential!) and may have spotted three, two of them in S1E1 and one in S3E3.
Firstly, who is transiting the tunnel when the kids are outside the cave? It can’t be the Jonas who takes Mikkel through to 1986 because it would take him too long to get from the door to the tunnel mouth. The only other candidates are Helge and Noah, but what would they be doing there at that time?
Secondly, although the kids’ flashlights glitch, the lights in the school do not. This seems the only time where a traveller transiting the tunnel doesn’t cause a widespread power outage.
Turning to S3E3, when Martha takes Stranger Jonas to the woods to show him her time machine and give him her alleged final phial of caesium. Why, oh why, doesn’t Jonas just use her machine to transport everyone back to 2019? Why bother using the caesium to create a steampunk time machine when Jonas has a fully functional one in front of him?
I’m also fascinated by what happened when Alternate Egon travelled to rescue Hamnah as she’s having her miscarriage during the apocalypse in Eva’s world. We know Hannah has to givr birth to Egon’s child (Silja) but surely she’s not going to get into a relationship with a retired Egon! Perhaps he takes her to meet his younger self in the '50s - after getting her medical care - but it seems rather unlikely that Hannah would go along with Eva’s plan.
All of the above are mere minor questions in what was an amazing show. I’ve been reliving it vicariously through YouTube reactions and have just finished watching ‘The Chill Finn’ aka Tiia complete the show. She thought it was the best thing she’s ever seen, and her analysis and commentary were excellent. Now I need to find another YouTuber I’ve not watched yet, and they are fairly few and far between.
My priest mentioned that I’m 3D printing in her sermon during my wedding…
Cold War submarine types
You ever seen the old Russian Foxtrot in San Diego?
Sadly, I’m in the UK. The best we’ve got near me is a WWII A-class boat at Gosport.
That’s still pretty cool. When I was in SONAR school I used to love sitting in the tech pub library reading all the old SONAR tech pubs going back to WWII.
Oh, I enjoyed visiting HMS Alliance but would love a look around an SSN or even a Type VII U-boat.
I’m a scuba instructor, and one of our favorite books in the hobby is “Shadow Divers” by Robert Kurson.
It’s the story of wreck divers in the 90s discovering a U-Boat off the coast of New Jersey that shouldn’t have been there according to any records. They dove it over the course of several years and multiple people died trying to solve the mystery of the sub.
Worth a read.
Thanks!
Dark was fabulous. Best twisted time travel show I’ve ever seen
I would like to know more about cold war submarines
Sadly, I have chores. Old Tom Clancy novels are pretty accurate, but don’t really talk about the UK boats, such as the Trafalgar class (SSN) and the Oberon diesel-electric boats. The worst thing Thatcher ever did was cancel the Submarine Commamd School (known as Perisher) as Captains from all over NATO used to attend. It was the one thing we were excellent at.
sounds like you need to start a community :)
Your wife is a saint. Worship her. Sing to her.
I know. I do (mainly the DARK soundtrack but it still counts.)
Sing to her

My favourite is the Echo II because of the cool pop up angled launchers.
Day 100 of me mistaking this guy’s tweets for Edward Snowden until after I read the tweet.
This should be the new education system. We’d fast track humanity tenfold.
“Today we’re talking about all 147 types of military aircraft. At the end of the lesson, you’ll be tested on your ability to identify them purely by the sound of their thrusters.”
“Teacher? When will we be using this in real life?”
“That’s an excellent question Jimmy. Now get in the Good Questions Oubliette and think about the answer on your own time.”
I’d like to think that’s what a proper PhD prior to the dissertation stage, after that you would just be memorizing not producing new research.

A matching system is mentioned.I like it very much. Tho i would like to ask why you see objectivity as good whiile subjectivity is bad. And im not sure if “blames self for world” is really a good thing; seems like low self worth. And im missing the revolutionary character. Like martin luther king. Maybe something like “inspires others to change for good”.
I too don’t entirely agree with the image I used, but:
- I can see subjectivity being used in the wrong contexts a lot: “We are disgusted by this, therefore it should be illegal”.
- Yeah, the self-blame seems weird up there, but I can imagine someone thinking “I could have done more to help the world” leading to thinking “what’s the best I could do now to be satisfied with my performance later?”.
- The revolutionary might be a combination of “wants to help” and “talks out problems”.
Why’re you posting your education manifesto on Quora?
Quora used to be cool. I haven’t had the energy to move everything from there to a currently sensible place, because those don’t have a working import function. Copy-paste breaks so much.
”Connecting…” appears on the app, and then it hits you, that wave of self doubt about the subject you’ve been obsessing over for the last three years, and spent tens of thousands of hours researching… What if I connect to someone who knows more? A ‘super autist’ with a smidge of self doubt, I must learn more!
You connect as a hyperfixator:
Connecting…
Remote User Disconnected
Connecting…
Remote User Disconnected

That’s what forums used to be
Forums were cool until everyone else joined the internet.
Remember remember that eternal September. Then web 2.0. Then facebook allows the parents in.
Now the enshitification goes full stream ahead.
I thought IRC and Geocities was a good time, even if I happened across dolphinlove.org.
IRC is still a good time.
When i discovered it in 2006, i realized what it meant for a technology to mature so much as to almost be perfect at what it does.
Old OkCupid had keyword search for finding those people.
“Destruction of OkCupid as an attack against its liberal-skewed user base"

If your profile says you’re a sub, does it only match you with other subs? No doms?
To the question “Do you enjoy giving oral sex?”, both must answer the same.
(The question “Preferred position: are you a top or a bottom?” seems to have been deleted.)
Wow, so now people who don’t like giving blowjobs don’t get any blowjobs? This is fucked up, dawg!
I knew the community this was posted before reading it
Where did you find that post?
Could you please add a link?
Especially if you do not add an image deacription that screen readers would be able to read, but also because I’d like to look at the source myself.
This would be the end of me…my remaining lifetime would be put into that chat. Please don’t, I still have many plans!
I got half a infodump the other day and now I kinda want to either learn to play deadlock or at least get the other half of the infodump
I can highly recommend learning deadlock. It has quite a learning curve (like other valve games), but it is still quite approachable. Its seriously one if the best games I have played in quite a while.
Sometimes I talk to my cat when I infodump.
oh yessss pleaseeee
