Cody is rad. First encountered him and Katy Stoll / Some More News on the podcasts Behind the Bastards and Worst Year Ever.

I just disagree with most of this. We should never stop talking about the social issues. A lot of really outspoken Trump etc folks are out to distort and transform our country in oppressive ways, with no regard to economics. We must fight that.

Yes, as you implied, some have in their mind as realpolitik that refugee crises create opportunities for fascism, and that’s cool. It’s just practical politics to fuel climate change and war.

there’s no new big wall of information from the NY Times. ask them, what’s the scoop? my opinion, take a moment. wtf are you doing?

we all need to consider, it costs money to fund quality journalism. we have to be aware of the many forces working against basic silly journalism, like what’s happening at the school board.

Can eye color change with age? I just checked for the first time in many years and its not what I remembered. Used to be a thin, fuzzy ring of light brown inside a vague cloudy blue. Now it’s just cloudy, dull blue. Maybe it changes to accommodate lifestyle and personality

What happens when you bring a cat her toy?

She sighs, exasperated, and says, “I wanted you to open all the cabinet doors you fucking moron”

Yay?

Cycling, role playing games, hiking groups, theater, local, community, local community theater, fascism, beating up people I don’t like

Looks cool man but as an extreme introvert, I worry about the false dichotomy of intro/extro. I’m fucked up and isolated because that’s what I want. I’m also decent at interpersonal relations, but it hurts my brain to do sales. Because I don’t want you to buy the thing I am trying to sell you.

Even librarians love snacks

So you’ve never worked in low-level management for say, Amazon, or a non-profit like the American Red Cross. Or whatever. Cool!

so you dry your ass after using a bidet? paper or cloth?

nope no bad experiences over here. i’m familiar with the whole water versus butt situation. i think a bidet is fine but i don’t want to walk out of the restroom with a wet butt, unless it’s Wet Day. so regardless of bidet or no, i would prefer some sort of towel or soft paper.

it’s water. what do you think is “using it well”? the only way to properly sanitize an asshole is drench it in water and use a little soap. Change your diet several days beforehand if you want to have fun down there.

typing this now on a Surface Pro 3 I bought 9 years ago. solid hardware, obviously a bit slow. still has an hour or so of battery life. haven’t got around to installing Linux, so the OS is shit, but I’ve never reinstalled or felt it was necessary. I definitely researched and ran debloat scripts. biggest concern is that upgrades are impossible. I think Linux would run well on this machine, based on the support out there.
