Brave Little Hitachi Wand

Don’t think I’ve eaten a donut in a couple years now. I feel like I know what they taste like by now.

I’ve got a dumb opinion about this: They’re just old fashioneds for people who don’t understand aspect ratios applied to frosting per bite.

I wish you could find a way to pursue this somewhere more aligned with your values. There’s a brain drain happening right now for a reason, I would heartily recommend joining it.

Inspired by this thread, today I set up my kid’s neglected bedroom Linux computer to read comic books off my media server and he’s already obsessed. Woo!

I should have assumed you had, I know you’ve been through a lot. You’re not wrong, but… Thanks for trying. It really burns me to know kids are going through this.

Have you considered talking to the news? This is all profoundly abnormal. I know journalism is mainly dead, but it’s the kind of story John Oliver might pick up anyway.

Raise a reader like your life depends on it, has been my approach so far

I always knew my high school was slightly fancy. Nothing extreme just, had decent facilities and decent groundskeeping, etc.

I never realised it was fancy for having under 40 kids in a class. This, at the same time as yours.

I promise myself to never to fall for that “kids these days aren’t we good as we were” bullshit. Kids these days are going to need a lot of help. Maybe more than we can even give.

I…

Did you say “standing room only” classrooms?

How? Moreover, how?

Democrats are so rigourously disappointing.

You do not recant? If my testimony cannot move you, it is doubtful that you yearn to accept a contradiction, though it pleases you to pretend it.

I have forsaken a friend of over twenty years on these issues. I have made myself and my family immigrants among the English, all because I have known for years that America was fated for fascism. Still I do not say all Americans are Nazis.

If you brainlessly admit no nuance into the matter, why say anything at all? Better to remain silent and sneer at those less fortunate, like a fucking nazi.

All during worldwide floods, extinctions, fires, super intense storms, bugs running amok, droughts, plagues, famines, perpetual wars … “God is super happy with us”.

“87 years ago” such powerful words to live by 😔

Shiggles, the way you said this makes it sound like you’re calling every American in America a nazi. I doubt whether you intended this, but that is the reading people are responding to.

They are responding to a heinously stupid stance. I hope and trust you will see this.

I am an American who has been boycotting America as an immigrant elsewhere for the last 4 years. I had the understanding, privilege, and nerve to know all of this was coming down the pipe and to act accordingly.

Most Americans are not Nazis. The electoral system is not only systematically, but also in specific regulatory and monetary senses, skewed in the direction of Nazis. This has been an issue arguably since the Powell Memo half a century ago, but the roots of this poison go back all the way to before the country was an official entity.

Don’t blame Boromir for your dry dick, for shame

Isn’t it like one of those “kids first geography fun fact” stuff that gets taught everywhere? Like you’d have to be actively disinterested in the world not to know it?

That analogy is a work of art. So casually out of pocket

I didn’t find out about mini discs until years later. Best I knew was the lost technology of CD-RW

They liked my metaphor, not my pointing

Told y’all nobody can say shit to me

Send in the dogshit robots!
