Ok, be calm. We practiced this. Just dial the number and take a deep breath. Stretch. Cook a meal. Buy groceries. Clean the house. Brush your teeth. Solve homelessness and world hunger.

Then finally hit the green button.

I like this plan.

Think of all the time you’ll have for activities once you do it!

[–] SpaceNoodle 3 points 1 week ago

I'm doing activities instead of the thing, it's so much more fun

Besides, we all know we're just gonna sit there dreading it, accomplishing nothing until it happens.

I’d hire someone to make my phone calls for me but I’d need to take phone calls to hire someone and… nope.

What do you mean by being a villain?

Why do you want to be unkind to others?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Don't wait, do the thing you want to do!

look dood, if i shine my laser leveling tool into the night sky and there's no really thick fog, it does nothing. sometimes you really gotta wait for the ideal conditions.

[–] Alexstarfire 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ok, but first you gotta tell me what you're trying to do.

The line from the laser becomes a gigantic glowing swirly surface when it goes through fog. It's like a laser show in a dance club, but no patterns and bigger. It only works at night in thick fog.

Idk if we have even met the minimum conditions at this point
