Just recently bought the 3rd telescope I've ever had - a 10" dobsonian. And I've just seen the SMC for the first time in my life. What a wonderful experience.

Previous scopes were an old 6" equatorial mounted Tasco reflector, a 125mm Meade Goto, and now this SkyWatcher 250mm. Feels lovely using a fully manual scope. Just me and some levers. But man oh man, the moon is too annoying. I'm in Adelaide suburbs so not particularly dark but still it's just washing out everything tonight.

Stupid moon /dumb rant

Cushion currently removed as she threw up on it....🙄

In medicine you go from (and excuse my gendering for clarity) Ms/Mr to Dr. to Ms/Mr when you become a high-up consultant.

In media, you go from low billing on credits, to top billed, to the end of credits after "with" or "and".

So yeah, title give you my views on Christianity and all other abrahamic religions. So am I right in thinking that this was one of the main takeaways. I dunno man, women fucking rule. Seems a pretty dumb takeaway. Edit: and why does nobody talk about Lilith? She seemed pretty legit.

Let's be honest, not every movie "needs" to be in 4k, but some really gain from that additional resolution - and that's ignoring seating position and screen size. What are your favourite movies that you'd recommend in 4K over the same movie in 1080p?

For example, I always prefer Christopher Nolan movies, anything shot in 70mm/IMAX film and anything animated, set in space/fantasy worlds or BBC Nature documentaries to be 4K (and HDR preferably).

I just looked at her. She started raising her voice and insisting she meant that the government should think about the amount of houses that can be built to accommodate all the newcomers.

I just looked at her - she got angry as I was looking at her, and she could see I was visibly intrigued I (which she saw as threatening). She raised her voice further and wondered why I'm looking at her like that. I mentioned "so you're blaming the government for letting too many people in". She got angry with me and said it "wasn't about blame". I didn't mention the whole "got mine" attitude.

Eventually she took her pillow, called me an arsehole who cares too much about racism and went to sleep with our mixed-race children.

Funnily enough, we'd just been watching "The Knick" and I had mentioned how many don't realise their privilege. This was how she responded. I'm concerned. I'm not saying she's racist, not at all. Just naive or blind and ignorant. Yet she got angry with me for "not accepting" racism.

I should mention she got angry at me recently for not liking the direction the UK was heading and really not wanting to visit because of it (both our families live there - mine are "brown" lol.

I think it proved my point about privilege but I didn't want it to end that way but she stormed off. So AITA?

Edit: Australia btw

The next version of an international council needs actual authoritative power. There's no point if someone just decides they don't want to listen and will do whatever they want. Veto power should be curtailed if a supermajority of countries are in agreement otherwise a bad actor will push their weight around.
