Now I need to listen to a lot more HOME. This is really delicious stuff.
That's an old Boston saying fyi.
Harpoon her in the cooter.
That's an old Boston saying fyi.
She's from LA originally, so what's your version?
Edit: it appears it's actually called "rolling harpoon" and involves the high chance of severing your dick. Nope.gif
The house probably caught fire and then burned.
I'll stop at a CVS and get some spray tan on the way downtown.
really now? I had no idea that's how it worked lol. Thanks, Mr. Science. c:
I meant I wonder HOW it caught fire.
Give her the old shiver me timbers.

I see where the confusion lies.
They are not in my house. I got them out of a shitty hole they were in and then their mom came and got them. But they live in the palm tree outside my house. I'm assuming they all fell off a branch. I've since boarded up the hole.

Aww I thought you brought them inside ;__;
So they're safe with Mamma Raccoon again? Did she seem to notice that you were helping or was she angry?

I might have had the mom not came out of the tree trying to kill me.

I love raccoons they're so cute. Just like skunks. Both of which aren't native here so I'll never have one

Public Works in our area sucks.
Three weeks ago, a tree fell into our backyard. PW just now got around to getting it out, and the damage it did to the public fence in the back of our house is still.... basically anyone can walk into our backyard. So anyways, the point of this is that there is a very narrow but very deep pothole next to the sidewalk of my house. So the kids fell from the tree into this hole.
It's a hundred degrees outside. Even if mom could have gotten them out (and she was just sitting in the tree so I dunno), it was incredibly hot out and they were screaming.
So of fucking course I did something.

A brief analysis of timeline shit that will piss off Matt, as written by Lili Carlyle on her phone while patiently waiting for her friends at the party
Timelines in movies are confusing and intriguing. They move the plot in non traditional ways and take advantage of stories which could not otherwise be told. Some stories are bull shit like back to the future because changing the past changes the future. This is the most common interpretation of time travel because it presents the most power to the travelers with the least amount of uncomfortableness about the issues of parallel universes which I'll get to in a minute. Well a minute for you. In reality it's probably ten minutes of typing later. I digress.
The second way of time travel is more clever where it says whatever happened happened, like in Harry Potter 3, in Twelve Monkeys, in Alice Through the Looking Glass, and in Lost. Obviously because I just listed four great experiences this one is my favorite. This kind of time travel allows all kinds of stories like going back in time to ensure that something happens, going back in time to try and change something but failing to do so, and going back in time to learn something about the past which becomes useful in the present or future. It can create certain paradoxes, like who started the loop since the loop starts itself, but honestly who cares? Why do things have to have a beginning? Let's just enjoy things for what they are not what they aren't or what they could be.
Then there's the fuckiest version. Multiple dimensions, parallel dimensions, multiverse theory, that whole schtick. You can see this in shitty TV dramas like the Flash show. Nothing matters. Nothing. Everything you do and every choice you make creates an alternate universe where you made a different choice instead. Every life you save creates a universe where you didn't save a life. Every good thing you do creates a world where you did a bad thing. Nothing matters. The grand sum of all in the world is zero. Equal and opposite reactions.
How does that relate to time travel? Because if you go back and change something and it spawns a new dimension then that means every change you do all the time causes divergences. Multiple universes have to come from somewhere. This isn't just the vodka in me talking. This is truth. Conversely everything you do must have an effect in your own timeline whether it's a new change or the cause of something that always was.
That's why I like the door. You know the one. That's why I don't care about people who live in alternate universes. I'm not callous in deciding not to save them because in doing so I've created a world where a version of me went and tried to save them, and that version of me in turn failed thousands of times and succeeded thousands of times. It's so mind bogglingly enormous and meaningless that I have to wonder who gives a shit.
I still have time to kill but I don't have anything else to write. Why is this happening to me. Okay carry on.

This feels almost like it was written specifically in opposition to me
If you take single reality time travel to its logical conclusion, infinite instances of time travel will be occuring at every instant into infinity. If you think about it, it presents a clusterfuck incomprehensible to the human mind. Quantum time travel (multiple realities) ain't much better but at least I can sort of cope with it.
If you can suspend your disbelief for the Hodor crap, fine, but I can't :O

Everything you wanted to know about SF chronophyics but didn't give enough fucks to ask
P.S. Legends of Tomorrow is a serious contender for worst timetravel in fiction on account of pure inconsistency and incoherence.

I'd also add that multiple universes isn't necessarily boring. It allows you to explore things you never imagined. Remember the episode of Rick & Morty?
It only takes away the "oh no everything went wrong we need to go back in time to fix it" stories. It also makes you immune from a lot of silliness because if every instance of retrograde time travel is a separate timeline, there can be no true paradoxes, only the superficial appearance of them. Rick and Morty mostly uses the concept for zany antics and "what if there was a world where everyone was soap" stuff but there are genuinely good stories you can do with it outsiode of that scope.
I've had this problem with single reality time travel since I was like 8 years old: If someone can go back in time at some point, if this is *possible*, then time instantly becomes mush because infinite people will be infinitely traveling through time at every moment and it just breaks reality. It's ludicrous. Every possible time travel and outcome will have already happened infinitely. It's far more ludicrous than the idea of more universes being spawned infinitely.

The most elegant way to avoid this is to disallow time travel, fyi

Is it good if you like time travel shit?
I'm also thinking about just going outside today and doing a bike tour on my own, just driving in random directions in this city that I don't know yet. The weather's fantastic but I'd have to wear something to cover the damn tattoo.
I am buzzed. We opened this Blackberry Moonshine that I originally bought on the strength of its presentation (came in a cool jar with a cool label).
I'm still worried about that guy, though, and I took mental stock of everything he touched so I can fucking burn it all tomorrow.
I haven't dreamed about any of you guys (that I can remember, anyway) but I wouldn't be too insulted because I don't dream much (that I remember) anyway.
