Avolition Toast

Not a good racer.

And how!

Related from my own defunct blog: Skulls in military symbolism are actually not particularly odd, as indicators of toughness and ferocity (and in Navy a nod to the Jolly Roger, which was partly an identifier of the pirate vessel, but also a call to surrender with the promise of quarter…)

Discussing the M&W Are We The Baddies skit and the preponderance of skulls in Waffen SS kitch.

Yes, though they aren’t usually available at the concession booth in that format. Trader Joe’s has a nice basket of DC cups.

It’s okay. I prefer dark chocolate with peanut butter rather than milk, but Reese’s gonna reese.

I blame executive dysfunction.

Mom needed to start me with a comprehensive checklist of specific tasks. Clean the kitchen isn’t sufficient. Wipe down the counter, being sure to get under all the counter-top appliances is better.

Otherwise, my missed spots are due to insufficient instruction and insufficient training.

For most definitions of supernatural, no.

I believe in unidentified areal phenomena, not that it’s ETIs or aliens, but that something’s up there doing its thing.

I believe in ball lightning even though we don’t have a model of electrodynamics that explains it.

There’s some weird shit out there, Horatio, that isn’t explained in our philosophy. I’m sure we don’t have all the answers. I just am okay with knowing we don’t know what those answers are.

As for ghosts, spirits, afterlife, etc. There’s strong evidence those things do not exist, just in the stark silence where there should be noise.

I do pretend that treating my cat well and wearing cat themed tees and keeping cat kitch does please the cat gods. 🐱‍👤

We’ve been in an oligarchy for a while, according to an Oxford study of US history and the policy voting behaviors of elected representatives. It’s only gotten spicy since Reagan, when the Republican party decided it had enough power to take all the cake (and is trying to do so).

The Federalists tried this before, which caused the party to die out and the Democratic Republicans to split. (Source: Helen Cox Richardson) It’ll be exciting to see how this all plays out.

It’s allegedly a documentary, not fiction. It should make sense from beginning to end.

Sounds like you feel the need to defend Kurzgesagt for sentimental reasons, and since they’re presenting themselves as a source for accurate information, that just won’t do.

Feel free to explain it in better terms. TBH, I watched the first half and quit in disgust.

Klein bottle for sale. Inquire within.

Curiously relevant to my romantic life, having had a GF who wanted to be a surrogate mom, which meant she had to go off medical contraception which meant we had to rely on other means of birth control.

Because we couldn’t keep from sowing wild oats, we had to actually take a hiatus from our relationship. Life is weird.

Defeated male lurks.

When all the lionesses are in heat and all want to be bred RIGHT NOW and multiple times (and will bite the scrotum of the solitary male to… stimulate him into action), then it’s the hour for all the defeated males to shine.

Seriously, this is a relevant part of lion pride sociopolitics. It may also figure into why the dominant male tends to kill the cubs of the lionesses when there’s doubt as to their heritage.

When I researched alleged murder gangs of lion males there’s not much evidence for them, but discovered insatiably horny lionesses (seriously) is the way defeated males get their day.

In this case, my minimum-wageiness trumps Mr. Ramsay’s celebrity and inappropriate attitude.

Or put another way,

Sir, this is a Wendy’s

I think the implication is that it’s part of her tradwife contract that she rave about Stephen Miller’s sexual prowess.

I’m not one to kink shame, but Stephen Miller is shameful before the kink.

The problem is when the contributors influence what the videos say, in contradiction to data.

Kurzgesagt’s video on +2° / +3° / +4° over the global mean isn’t going to be so bad video was conspicuous to me, and is in fact, based on fossil-fuel industry rhetoric, rather than climatology estimations (which tell us over +1.5° is going to fuck us, and is).

The phrase “I voted for this” has become a common thing for far-right supporters of Trump to say when something particularly brutal has happened to their political opponents.

I’ll tell you what’s at the bottom of it, If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you. – Lyndon B. Johnson, attributed by Bill Moyers

Like pleading with Hector not to fight Achilles, Cassandra has been warning about ALPRs for over a decade now, possibly two, that they were too intimate a search to allow law enforcement to use them without narrowly-defined warrants.

As with the Greek wooden horse Cassandra shouted was going to burn Troy to the ground, only too late we are seeing how such power can be used.

No one listens to Cassandra.

10 to 1 would be a bit much. 5 to 1 indicates the syrup is already thinned out, which is a possibility if the denser syrup doesn’t mix readily with the fizzy without stirring.

But then, I’d figure there was purchase-density syrup, and then pre-make which is ready to dispense with fizz water, and a clerk is tasked with diluting one to make the other.

That’s the way it’d be if I were writing a fast food sim.
