No but I miss choirs of cicadas and choruses of fireflies

Spider stand off but they get 3 miles high so how the fuck do you stop it? Drones? Bit ott, admittedly

I'm gonna nuke the house from orbit if I ever see one of those.

Godzilla Minus One

I cried at the photo of Noriko on the dashboard of the failed Kamikaze pilot

I was "tired and emotional" at that point though

It's on Netflix, watch it, film of the year

My dad liked that film a lot. He has a complex relationship with Japan. A lover of martial arts, the samurai, Godzilla, and various strands of Japanese thought who refers to them as "The Japs", claims a bunch of the karate instructors he trained with were drunks and perverts, and believes Asian people operate like a hive of insects.

does your dad like you or are you a disappointment to him?

Bit of both, I think.

 

[luka]

my relationship with my dad got good once he stopped expecting anything from me. they need to give up on you then you can realte really well

 

[luka]

do you bollock him when hes being a dick or just sort of roll your eyes?

 

[william_kent]

my dad was disappointed and then I found a way into computers through DOOM

and his face lit up, and he bought me a 486 DX2 which ended up blowing up due to my ketalar smuggling ( the K entities did not like FRACTINT )

 

[luka]

was your dad one of those early computer adopters bald at the front with long hair at the back and so on?

he was seconded to NASA, draw your own conclusions

he was a pioneer in chemtrails - I'd ask him " dad, what did you do today?' and he was like "we flew to Berlin and seeded some clouds'

edit; he had a comb over which was mortifying

Depends what he's doing. Sometimes I'll tell him to fuck off or shut up and that he's being an idiot, sometimes I'll just roll my eyes and change the subject.

Last time I saw him, he was doing his stupid Jamaican accent thing he got from Bo' Selecta! and I told him he should watch it. He might think he's being funny, but he isn't, and one day he might do that sort of thing in the wrong place at the wrong time and someone will be perfectly justified in getting in his face about it.

what does seconded mean?

I probably mistyped, but it is when one top secret organisation borrows a top scientist from the UK for a couple of years to do bad stuff
