What is this ancient symbol? How did so many primitive cultures without writing or trade routes or brains or cell phones create such powerful art? What alien culture could have gifted humankind with this incredible sign of divinity?

Wow, what a trip. There’s a bit further down the interview where they discuss Jean-Luc Godard’s “anti-semitism” which I’d never heard about. Looked it up and actually, he’s extremely anti-zionist, go figure. The more things change the more they stay still.

I think you’d do better at this point to study how resistance movements within fascism form and survive because that’s about to be a lot more relevant.

Ok but what do I wear when I have a collection of cool pants in many colors, and also shirts that weren’t all bought in the office drone department?

Jack Saint (YouTuber) did a take down vid on Shad that revealed his real nature to me. I also had previously enjoyed his historical content.

The thing is, as another poster pointed out, once people started looking, he’s actually not historically accurate either and is barely more knowledgeable about it than your friend in the SCA who won’t shut up about long swords and katanas.

It’s a pattern with bigots: you can’t trust their information or expertise on anything. Because either they aren’t willing to update their views with facts, or they’re willing to lie to cover up facts they do know but dislike. Neither are good qualities in any person, but especially not in historians and educators.

Your mother and I would still be together Shinji, if you’d just piloted the Eva.

Oh yes, we’re all operating in full knowledge that greentexts are 💯 percent truth.

But yeah, if this very real person did have a concussion they might also be having personality shift because of it. A good thing to keep in mind if you are dealing with a person who’s had a big head smash.

Knowing it from Evangelion probably means you are gay, depressed, and have divorced parents.

I started to feel bad for the person with a concussion and gangrenous untreated wound, but then they pivoted to whether they could now acceptably creep on dead girls, and I just see a problem that’s about to solve itself.

The cantina band is Figrin D’an and the Modal Nodes, but apparently Max Rebo is the true jizz-wailer (as they’re canonically called).

Crime goes down, means 📉

Less prisoners, means 🕊

Less prison profits, means 💸😱

New crimes are invented 👮‍♂️

And ain’t it great how prisons are paid per prisoner by the state and also get to do some slave labor, as a treat. But when the profits are low, just complain to the state that you need to be paid more and have more prisoners, it’s free money from your good friends on the senate.

Hmmm… I guess 8. Chatting with Walter would be fun and the hopefully the beast guy can keep it cool, then we’ll all have fun.

Alternatively, 6, sitting between both of them seems super funny.

After seeing that article about how Navy SEALS all have severe brain damage from being around constant explosions, I do find myself questioning the real value of these elite soldier and spy organizations. The defensive counter-espionage could be done with more scrutiny and transparency (which would arguably make it more effective). And maybe destabilizing and overthrowing foreign governments is uh… bad… actually.

It may be pretentious and impenetrable but that doesn’t make it bad. There are puns you have to know multiple languages to get, densly layered references, unusual structures and fun wordplay abounds. The word quark came from FW. It’s challenging, but fun to read because it’s challenging.

I’m not saying git gud, no one should have to read FW. It’s kind of uniquely just a joy to read for the sake of enjoying the sounds of words and how they play together. Reading it for the plot or the characters is kind of missing the point, I think.

That’s the whole problem with the AI summarizer: it requires you to believe that the only reason to write anything is to communicate some simplistic idea: a command, a moral, or an instruction. But writing isn’t just to convey a plot or moral lesson in the least, smallest words possible. Writing is poems and songs, plots and novels, screenplays and anecdotes, slogans and slogs. Writing can just be fun for the sake of words and doesn’t have to always convey some easily summarized or quantified concept.

A friend was just telling me about these Tiktok dance cults where they house young people and pay them to do dance videos all day. They’re young, get to do what they want, live in a big house, and get paid well… today. You know, ask young gymnists and other sports figures how the retirement plan for young physcal performers is after your handlers have sucked every bit of money out of you there is.

But how could you tell these kids otherwise? It’s not like sex workers (or any workers really) have infinite choices. You take what pay you can get sometimes to do what work there is. And when that work is hyper-exploitative but still better than any other offer around, what are you supposed to do? It’s be exploited and have your personality stolen to sell to other sex-starved, alienated proletarians; or starve. What a choice.

Alright fellow queers, so what are celebrating next month? My top vote is Gluttony, as always, but I do also vibe with Sloth Month? Who couldn’t use a little r&r after all that pride?

If we’re trending technical in our etymological taxonomies, then the X-words are all slurs because they insult people for belonging to specific groups. As you say, profanities and blasphemies need to address the sacred in some disrespectful way. I believe that leaves… curse words and expletives as the remaining categories of naughty words. Any others? I suppose vulgarity and obscenity, but those feel like subtypes of expletives to me.

This is the actual problem. Boomer voters (who are pathologically trapped in adolescence; look at how they projected views of eternal childhood onto Millennials) would only feel safe with the last of the ancient preceeding generation. “Save us elder daddies, we have no minds to think but can’t trust the ‘children’ younger than us to know anything!”

Oh yeah, my b, thanks for the correction
