SyNack Sassimov posted:Y'know, until just this post I've never thought about the fact that the local community organization "West Bay Opera" is in fact, uh, named because it's an opera company in the West Bay, because literally nothing else uses that phrasing. They've also been around for a long time so maybe it was more common 50 years ago? The Central Valley is a thriving metro of over 5 million people and dismissing it out of hand is ridiculous coastal elitism.

Bibliotechno Music posted:Anywhere off the coast counts as Eastern. As someone who’s never lived there but worked with a lot of people from CA, I find there’s a huge difference between Beach Californians, Mountain Californians, and Desert Californians. How would you term it? I can only speak for myself, but I generally separate it by north/central/south. Then regional. Maybe then into an east/west like others have said (i.e. east bay, or west valley). It’s a big state geographically, and “eastern CA” in your terms would lump together Bakersfield and Palm Springs or Monterey and Long Beach, and they are very different places both in climate and culture.

I work kids and one time a guy who worked with me told some five year olds about the sun eventually burning out and it freaked some of them out so much that they couldn't sleep for days because when you're five years old millions of years might as well be next week as far as your grasp of large numbers goes

Also a book I read as a 5yo about coastal erosion and land falling into the sea, because I thought all the land was going to be gone soon. Turns out that one might not have been as irrational as it seemed. Relatedly it really fucks me up now that my oldest kid is old enough to be asking questions about climate change and poo poo. I don't want to lay that on a loving 5 year old, but also don't want to like not answer his curiosity and questions.

I lived in Tom's River, New Jersey and had near daily panic attacks about tornadoes.

I was driving my then 4 year old to day care, and if you do this enough, you'll know that after awhile you just zone out and answer their nonstop string of questions like subconsciously or something. Dad what are trees made of, Dad which way is Grandma's house, blah blah blah. One day I apparently answered a question about if the sun can go out, with something like, "yeah sure of course, and its going to in a few million years, and the earth, if it's still around, will freeze and everything will die, but we'll be long dead by then", while zipping through rush hour traffic. Next morning the day care ladies were asking me some questions about what we talk about in the mornings.

Beachcomber posted:I have because of this learned this news and it is *incredibly* funny. Yeah... It is on the surface, because it reads as just some really stupid business decision. It turns out it's actually due to conservative lobby groups who are opposed to sex work altogether, putting pressure on credit card companies to refuse sites like OnlyFans and Pornhub. They use any excuse they can drum up, claiming exploitation or child porn or revenge porn when there isn't any, to try to shut down sex work altogether. https://www.newsweek.com/why-visa-mastercard-being-blamed-onlyfans-banning-explicit-content-pornography-1621570 So, it's really a case of "puritan conservatives ruin everything, again" unfortunately.

Jesus, I get this, man We were at the Science Museum a few weeks back and my Wife accidentally explained nuclear bombs while looking at one of the exhibits as she'd zoned out a bit We are still getting questions about where people's bodies go when the white light leaves their shadows behind, and, "tell me again why people made THE bomb" But answering the myriad questions on autopilot is still the best way to keep yourself sabe Amphigory has a new favorite as of 01:25 on Aug 23, 2021 |

I distinctly remember reading about how the atmospheric pressure on Jupiter was so intense it would crush a spaceship, and being really worried about dying this way, as though this was in any way a likely thing. You know, in addition to my concern about the sun's inevitable death.

I have a framed quote from John McPhee on the wall in my office, from Basin and Rangequote:If you free yourself from the conventional reaction to a quantity like a million years, you free yourself a bit from the boundaries of human time. And then in a way you do not live at all, but in another way you live forever I look forward to giving my kids existential nightmares when they're old enough to understand it!

I sent this to a friend in Canada and thought immediately that they wouldn't know what it is- turns out they have 1400 pop-up locations in the US and Canada and the Halloween prop market is worth about $8.4 billion. Ornamental Dingbat has a new favorite as of 02:05 on Aug 23, 2021 |

I used to worry a lot about all of my guts sloshing around inside of my body, because I learned all the basic anatomy before anyone thought to tell me about connective tissue. I also learned about sharks’ many rows of teeth, and then started worrying about if they could grow more, and if not how sad it would be for an old shark on its last row of teeth having to wander around the ocean, starving to death with no teeth. These were when I was 19 and 30, respectively (also way stoned)
