I think the backlash against that comedian's 2018 special was way more damaging than the jokes themselves, honestly.

Used to think people were just too sensitive about old jokes until I saw what happened to @west.casey's friend. That story really flipped it for me. It's one thing to call out something truly bad, but losing everything over a dumb quote you didn't even write is just broken. The punishment never fits the crime anymore, it's all about the viral outrage.

Seeing the steam from my last job changed my take on insulation

Ever try that reflective foil stuff in your attic?

Vent: A hospital in Portland made me sign a 12 page form just to get a copy of my own MRI scan

Ugh, it's like they're selling your own body back to you.

My friend got a 30 day ban for a comment about a local protest, and the reason given was 'inciting violence'

You ever notice how careful you have to be with words online? I once got a warning for telling someone to "go jump in a lake" as a joke. The bots don't get sarcasm at all. It feels like you're walking on eggshells trying to have a normal talk about anything serious now.

Hot take: I thought those 'phone telescope' adapters were total junk until I saw Jupiter's moons

But have you tried a cheap phone mount? I had the same blurry mess until I got one for like ten bucks. It clips onto the eyepiece and holds your phone still. My moon shots went from shaky blobs to something where you can actually see craters. It's still not telescope quality, but it makes a huge difference for Saturn's shape.
