  • Maybe the next step is cutting out some more dairy somehow

    The only things stopping me are cheese and various chocolates. I’m so sorry, you fucking asshole twits, but no matter how lovely watery oat porridge or thin almond paste can be (and their cute tensiony surfaces can be so delighting) in all sorts of intriguing and cute recipes that dance on your tongue as they nearly force (with kindness) your mouth into a smile with soft harp music in the background, hot chocolate that doesn’t suck your stomach out your asshole with those horrible oil adjacent bitch baths isn’t possible. Oh! But to softly stir the oat syrup into the flour and delicately knead it with fingers… what joy!


  • Yeah, I think when I had a mole that turned out to be cancer, it was still a 6 months wait to see a dermatologist because there are so many people wanting to see them (and many of those are for cosmetic shit, grumble grumble). Luckily it didn’t metastasize while I was waiting. Fucking us healthcare is a joke.






  • And if you’re extra desperate, there’s always manjaro. But I love it. My hardware somehow works out of the box with them. Having the AUR is definitely a godsend for some things. One day I’ll likely contribute something to it as a tiny tribute back.

    Does anyone who installed arch using archinstall actually use the ‘i use arch, btw’ meme?







  • Don’t discount the ability of people to follow simple directions and manuals. Also, don’t discount that there are a large number of otherwise intelligent people who are maga. They have plenty of people who can do calculus, program in an IDE or on a circuit board, and carry on with all the other things you might view as impossible to ever happen at a republican convention. We all have strengths and weaknesses, and few are immune to propaganda. There seem to be a large number of people who have a peculiar weakness to ‘simple’ logic and strongmen blowing their own horn.

    Anyway, without going into the weeds, let’s just take a moment and appreciate that there was a very long and large chain of command that carried out the literal listed example of a war crime on pete’s orders. There would absolutely be no issue for them to secure the weapons for a red government that told them to do such a thing.


  • Agreed on the number of bad ones. I just read the first book of a james patterson series, and I don’t understand how it was ever greenlit. I know there was that quote about 90% of everything being trash, and it was just ‘in the old days’ that we never saw anything but the 10%, but I just struggle to see harry potter now as part of the 10%. I’ve read too many good books and series to believe it does have a place in the 10%. I know, on some level, that they aren’t that bad, but I just have this whiplash from the feelings I had about them as a kid and how I read them now.



  • The poisonwood bible. I loved it in high school, because I was an oppressed little atheist/agnostic with hyper religious parents at a christian school. It was brilliant, vivid, groundbreaking, and wild in its defiance of cultural norms…

    and now it’s just a sort of sad story of how the christian mindset mirrors colonial/empire ambitions and everyone gets hurt.
