Bastard in a Pasture

TIL Deadpool is a sponge.

Eugh, thanks, I hate it. 🤢

That sounds HeLa awkward.

Fair point.

I was vegan as a health necessity for a few years. I still prefer eating veggies wherever possible, but when I’m living in someone else’s home and have to adhere to someone else’s diet, it’s not always possible.

OMG, what?!? Holy fuck, this is amazing! This is incredible! Way to go!

Hi. I was born in Utah.

The statistics presented here likely primarily include Mormons. Mormons, granted, tend to experience higher rates of senses of well-being due to thorough, lifelong conditioning into a religion that (to put it very very lightly) trains and encourages wishful thinking and group conformity to levels that would make a tankie blush.

Those who leave this religion (cult that has the all-time gold medal championship title in doublethink and mental gymnastics in archeology) tend to experience significantly higher rates of suicide, mortality, and depression. The youth suicide rate alone shot up 192% from 2009 to 2014. https://www.rationalfaiths.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/LGBTQStats-2.pdf

Speaking from personal experience, Utah is a theocracy, straight up. The church controls everything from the state congress to the real estate. They have loopholes in the department of education that allow ecclesiastical education at public schools. I’d know, I graduated from one.

Fuck Utah.

Instructions unclear, dyslexia made me blow the job interviewer.

10 years old. When I saw The Rocketeer, when Jenny found Neville Sinclair’s secret radio room to talk to his Nazi handlers.

I loved it when my dad held my hand.

I’m nearly 30 now, and our political and religious views are (as an understatement) wildly different in most respects. But I still love my dad, and I would do damn near anything for him. Because he did damn near anything for me.

Sent this to a friend. Xe laughed and said, “If they have an issue with it, they can come find me and tell me. Good luck, BTW, we make up less than 1% of the population. If people that rare are pissing you off, find a fucking hobby.”

Trying to get PulseAudio to behave, and trying to figure out how to roll back Bluez and Blueman.

You can’t deny, even though it was literally just straight American imperialist propaganda, it was a fun game series. And my lesbian ass definitely had a huge girl crush on Tanya.

Piratebay.

I mean, you’re not alone. I got so fed up with ads because it was always junk I needed but couldn’t afford, or shit I already knew existed and had otherwise already acquired with satisfactory results. Not to mention ads following me around. I hated being haunted by a pair of sneakers across four websites.

It’s not paranoia if you’re right, dammit.

Eh. In my experience, DeWalt tends to have more power and punch, and the batteries last longer. Makita’s impact drivers (at least the ones my company got) really just never had the torque to tighten bolts down to the right NM or ft/lb. I needed. They’ll do, I’d rather use an impact driver than nothing. But if I get to pick, I’ll pick a DeWalt.

Command and Conquer?

If we play Red Alert, I call Great Britain!

Hey, you know, maybe he got the good ending. It was pretty strongly implied he was adopted by the firefighter reincarnation of King Agamemnon/Sean Connery.

I don’t.

Money can’t buy morals or ethics. If I hate the company, guarantee you I won’t be there in six months, let alone five years.

Maybe other people can. I can’t. Inevitably, I get into some kind of spat with a boss or a manager over morals, ethics, or how we’re being treated. Or how I’m being treated. And they make up a reason to fire me, or I get so mad that I quit.

I beg to differ. It was a lifechanging game for me. I can trace a half a dozen major life decisions and events to the people I met through the Undertale fandom. It has some deep personal sentimental value, too.
