I just threw on Lord of the Rings for the evening. You mentioned elsewhere you're going to watch Star Trek TOS? Any particular favorite episodes?

Thanks for reading my rant as well and for the kind words. This is one of my needy traits, the need for external validation. So it really means a lot to have my thoughts validated. Which is normal, of course, for everyone.
I think this is part of what you are seeking and can't get from your family as well. Support, validation. I'm really sorry you're not receiving that, it sucks.
And yeah, the gender representation thing, that's specifically a fear about what other people will be looking for and is a part of my brain worms that I'm working on eradicating RFK Jr style.
2024 has been a shitty year. I am not trying to make this about me, but I wanted to share that I and other people are having really shitty times too and you're not alone. The holiday season is supposed to be a cozy happy time, so when things aren't great it feels so much worse. I'm with you friend, you're not alone. I'll be online throughout the day so I'm happy to chat in the thread here. I hope that things get better for you in 2025.
my rant
I am lonelier than I've ever been, and it's really intensifying on new years. I feel like I should be doing great but I'm not. My ex-partner are still living together but co-parenting our kids, I have friends but nobody who I am actually comfortable with opening up to about how isolating this situation is, and my parents who seem oblivious to the idea that we're separated. The only adult interaction I have regularly is from someone who is really looking forward to moving out away from me but just can't yet. I vibed with someone I met but they are seeing someone else and although we are attracted to each other, they seem not that interested in making time for me. It hurts. The last two weeks has really hammered home that I need to find someone who actually likes and wants to be around me, but I'm worried that I'm too old, too annoyingly high energy, too needy, and not stereotypically male enough to find someone I'll bond with.
Scooby Doo can doo-doo, but Jimmy Carter is a big farter
That is my criteria for beanis posting. Can I do the photo edit in less than 3 minutes on my phone?
I like to think it shows
:beanis-salute:
Aw shoot, that's what I meant to write because it's getting pretty obvious from all the 
that you're eating in the badposting comm. Must have been an autocorrect thing.
Sorry Dirt_Owl that there isn't a category for dirtiest owl. I guess that means you are getting nominated for other things
Thank you! I the nomination for posting.
I nominate myself @[email protected] for best (worst) Beanis poster, the only category so good it wasn't even mentioned in the main Hexie lineup.
I nominate @[email protected] for best BLT recipe (Beanis, Lib-smashing, chapoTraphouse)
I nominate @[email protected] for best all around poster this year
The same thing is happening to me. It feels like a beanspiracy to keep certain people who have bean "beanis marked" off the front page. I just checked my posting history and all my best posts suddenly have beanis in them. I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING
Yes, the extended cut if course! I think I can get through at least one movie this year.
Devil in the Dark is a classic star trek episode structure! What a great choice. I should watch more TOS. I haven't seen it in probably 20 years
