Yeah I’m a real person, the name is just a reference to getting banned on Reddit many times, and then getting banned immediately across several discuss.online communities for hurting a mod’s feelings. I guess if it’s going to happen, might as well ask for it.
Downtown Seattle, I wrote a note asking our upstairs neighbor to please stop pacing all night wearing boots. Put a rug down, take off boots, something.
I got an odd letter back explaining how he had been making “bad life decisions” lately and was trying to stop.
And I’m like, look one meth addict to another, that’s not what I asked, put a rug down or take off the boots. I am not looking for a cry for help, just a night’s sleep.
I got in and out of my house about 50 times per day, and my feet are size 13.5s, so all my shoes are tight (they don’t make most shoes in anything larger than 13s). Plus my back isn’t what it once was. If I had to bend over and take my shoes off 50 times a day, I’d actually lose it, “it” being my L3-4 disc.
Whereas, litereally nothing bad has ever happened to me because I wear shoes in the house. It’s all some hypothetical … I don’t know what exactly. Grossness? Is grossness hurting me?
Tell you what’s ‘gross,’ as a thought exercise tho - walking around barefooted where my dogs and cats walk barefooted, they’re not exactly wearing shoes outside, or in the litterbox, nor are they putting a handkerchief down under their assholes when they sit down.
But a pair of flip-flops for in the house plus floor cleaning regularly… I don’t really worry about it either way. IDK why anyone does.
Also his lower intestine is filled with a plug of moss and pinecones, which have trapped the material in his digestive system, stopping digestion entirely, which he will now need to expel in a painful and gruesome deification so it can start up again.
Much like me in the morning
But he doesn’t need coffee for it :/
I called the cops to break up a fight between my husband and I where I thought he’d kill me, I got a domestic with intent charge because they don’t know how gay couples work, and someone has to go to jail. Also there was a “ridealong” bitch who basically sat there like she was a tourist, having the time of her life with the whole thing. Just some chick the cop knew. So yeah even overprivileged white men learn their lesson on cops.
Yeah I drank OJ like it was going out of style until I realized it was rotting my teeth and making me fat, just soda with fresher taste (and more acid). They don’t give juice to kids anymore. It was a scam. Fruit is awesome tho, I try to eat a couple pieces a day.
Heyyy that photo was taken a couple miles from where I am sitting. Terrifying.
When I moved here, we rented a house in an all-black neighborhood. They weren’t um, super warm. In my “post-racial white savior” mentality, I’m like, this is odd, I’m trying to desegregate this place! Eventually one neighbor took the time to kindly educate me. Many of those older folks had family, grandparents and uncles, who were lynched in pubic. Many of them remember that photo being taken, most knew the Little Rock Nine personally. Their neighborhood was about safety, about a place they could be without constant worry. They reflexively did not like seeing young white folks move in. Holy shit I suddenly got it. As a gay guy I could imagine that applying to my own minority status.
I live in a gayborhood now and sure enough, as the house next door goes on the market, we’re trying to make it clear conservative straight folks are not welcome.
Perspective is interesting. I keep my mouth shut and my ears open when it comes to race, cause I grew up in a literally all-white town.
I was briefly interested in raw milk in the early 2000s. There was a lot of info floating around about how pasteurization destroyed beneficial bacteria that healthy people could benefit from, to avoid risk to those with compromised immune systems, infants and elderly, etc. The gut microbiome was just starting to be talked about, and we didn’t know much, but people were curious about improving it.
Fortunately I did a little digging and realized it was a fairly radical and unproven concept, but it’s not just the belief they’re adding something harmful. It’s the belief they’re removing beneficial bacteria that would somehow improve our health.
Considering how the last 20 years have been full of mostly unproven probiotic and prebiotic marketing insanity, it’s not surprising, it’s the same base concept. But science has been demonized since then, people actively think science and medicine is trying to keep us unhealthy now, and the top levels of government are promoting that bullshit.
They’re not the same. Android lockdown is a temporary lock screen state. iOS lockdown is a full OS hardening, affects the way the phone operates full-time.
…That’s a bit of ableism, Hawking managed to have an affair that ended his marriage although it seems that original marriage involved his abuse, so he comes out the good guy. It’s entirely possible for a wealthy, privileged person with disabilities to abuse someone else, either through power imbalance or with assistance under their direction. But no evidence that it occurred in his case.
They remind me of the old style fluorescent circle lights from the 50s, where they were almost green.
More than even color temperature I’m shocked at the number of people who illuminate their rooms with four clear-glass bulbs in the ceiling fan, so bright you can’t even look at them from the sidewalk. Have these people never heard of a lamp? You can practically see the shadows of dust motes in the air against the sterile white walls.
My mom and dad and myself and my younger brother are all alcoholics. Two of us have recovered, two of us have not.
My youngest brother is on the spectrum and refuses to touch alcohol at all because he’s watched it destroy lives and steal souls.
That’s how this chart plays out in my family., ymmv.
Everyone I saw talking about this said it was likely fake.
Starbucks was an amusing rise and fall.
Of course the competitors are small chains and the original shops were indie, but that’s just the free hand of the market fisting some folks without lube
I think my TV is like 32" and 720p from 2012 or so. It’s fine.
Before that I had a projector which was fun sometimes but mostly too big for the room. Cool to take psychedelics and run a visualizer while it was pointed along the floor at you. You could feel the fractals on your skin. I don’t do that anymore, so a 32" TV is fine.
This does answer some questions for me. On more than one occasion tried to arrange a simple BJ and the other guy gets more and more specific with his requests until it’s “hey do you think you could do your business in my mouth” and I’m like, no, we’re all done talking thanks. Most recently a couple months ago.
The day after I bought my last car, a shopping cart got caught by the wind and slammed into my door, big scrape. Now I judge people who don’t do it. We have several businesses who do reentry programs, including the supermarket itself, who hires convicts to be cashiers. Hardware store and bakery do the same thing, just up the street. If returning carts is the only job an ex convict can get, you need to urge more stores to hire them, not leave your carts around the lot.
I went to an Aldi not realizing they would have this, I do not carry pocket change. Asked clerk to break a bill for change, he just handed me a quarter from the till. I’m like, thanks I’ll bring this back I guess, he said he didn’t care. Oookay. Still not sure what to do with that free 25¢, invest it maybe.
Many Americans wandering around so stoned, they avoid actual human contact entirely, so self checkout is desirable. No need to make smalltalk or eye contact with another human. We have lost the ability to interact in the smallest of ways with strangers.
Hope you aren’t a gummy bear fan, cause I have news for you
