Sigourney Weaver in Alien and Carrie Fisher in Star Wars were my sexual awakening when I was 12.

Not much gets to me, but this shit is fucked up. I bet the people who work on these have horrible nightmares.

A dollar, a hundred thousand dollars, these are just rounding errors compared to $250 million.

For what it’s worth, plenty of us who have lived here our entire lives reject US exceptionalism, protestant work ethic, etc.

Hypocrisy, like I said. I know it’s an oxymoron, you know it’s an oxymoron, but that doesn’t stop them from co-opting the term and confusing people.

If we treat the new testament as Jesus fan fiction, then a lot of their shit is fan fiction of the fan fiction. Stuff like the rapture is not in the bible.

Anarcho-capitalists have been around for a long time. I think they usually call themselves libertarian.

I get the hypocrisy, but they don’t.

Ah right on, makes sense.

What’s wrong with Cory? I think he’s brilliant.

Unless you’re suggesting some kind of utopian emergence from the ashes.

Upgrade your Mexican food game to birria or tacos de lengua/cachete.

Real Mexicans drink bud lite. I swear it’s a joke.

They don’t realize that race is essentially fiction. Skin color is an easy visual test if someone is good or bad. We’re fucking apes.

Don’t forget Curtis Yarvin, and his predecessor Adelson. They think democracy was a mistake.

OKAAAY

I have ADHD and sometimes can’t focus to do more brain intensive work if I’m in a room with a bunch of people talking. Street/background noise doesn’t bother me at all. I grew up suburb rural adjacent but I’ve worked in huge cities for long periods and it just doesn’t bother me like six people having two conversations would.

Agreed. What is/was your position in government? If you don’t mind to say just keep it very general or vague. I didn’t know someone who gets it was in any office in the US.

They know it. They deliberately conflate being against the Israeli government and being antisemitic.

Wonder if it’s panning out.

Really depends on the lens.

mechanical /mĭ-kăn′ĭ-kəl/ adjective

Of or relating to machines or tools.
"mechanical skill."

Operated or produced by a mechanism or machine.
"a mechanical toy dog."

Of, relating to, or governed by mechanics.

You’re using the second definition and everybody else, including me, is thinking of the first or third. I would call anything that has a mechanism integrated into it, such as a manual slide that covers a camera, no matter how simple, to be mechanical. A playground teeter totter is pushing the definition, but I’d say it’s technically mechanical.

I saw probably the same photo as you! The article wasn’t even about that, we just noticed it in the photo. I immediately went and taped over my camera.
