A former friend cut contact after we had an argument about this.

Paraphrased:

Me: “if your uncle arrests someone for assault, and his friend waited for him outside the target’s house and drove him away, would the friend not also get arrested for being an accomplice?”

Her: “yeah, the guy knew the crime was going on so he definitely is part of it”

Me: “So if your uncle is standing in line at a protest to ‘keep things peaceful’ and then he just stands there while the cop next to him drags a peaceful protester to the ground and starts beating them, and two others begin pepper spraying and shooting bean bags at people’s heads in clear violation of many laws from local to federal, and your uncle doesn’t even speak up? What is he? Come on, laws were broken by his buddies and he’s not confessing, and is in fact helping cover up the crimes, so if he’s helping with crime, and knows about more crime, but doesn’t come forward like a good law abiding citizen, what is he.”

I was way more petty about it than I needed to be, but all cops means all cops and don’t fucking try to lecture me on how your preferred cop is somehow special. A bad apple spoils the bunch, use the whole fucking proverb or don’t bring up apples again, bitch.

But Riker is straight.

Straight up screwing everything beautiful and willing!

Women, non-binary, non-gendered, men, it’s all the same to a sex god.

Personally I choose to believe violet08 is a robotic cat, and simply pretending to be a woman in hornyposting mode because they enjoy trolling.

Men is indeed too headache.

It has always been appropriately named.

It’s just that most people assumed it meant “defending the country” instead of “defending rich pedophiles”

I once ran a campaign of a game similar to D&D where one of the players had geared a character to be super charismatic and had an end goal of being able to persuade anyone to do anything.

She kept persuading the random side characters that helped them into joining, until they had a small army of Merry Men.

Yeah, the campaign took a back seat while they played Robin hood for awhile.

She started specifically targeting side npcs because I wanted to drop a character that was making my vocal chords hurt. They liked the npc because he was basically a child’s vision of a stereotypical pirate.

Oh, my rooms tend to get hot by themselves, so it’s less “cool it then heat it” and more “cool it, then stop cooling and let it warm up naturally around morning”

Except in winter, I guess. Then it’s just “don’t heat until morning”

I have always wanted a programmable thermostat, so I can sleep to nice cool air, but wake up to almost uncomfortably hot, because that will force me to get out of bed and be something resembling human.

Instead I’m a burrito, all wrapped up and warm

Good. I can toss my other blanket on top and get snuggled in.

How I’ve felt since getting fired this week:

I have forgotten about a concert after paying for the tickets, I have forgotten about super important plans and didn’t even send a text to the person I had them with until about 6 hours later (in fairness I never even got a text or call from them in that time, just a “where were you, I waited” when I called to apologize) and I have forgotten my entire wallet at a restaurant. Sat it down while waiting for my card back and put the card in my pocket and left the wallet on the table.

I have also unironically said this.

The prosecution used the presence of the first aid kit they carried

Insane bullshit.

I have a kit with me every day of my life, and I’ve had to refill it many times due to using it on others.

It would be pure coincidence that I happen to be carrying a first aid kit on any given day, and if I’m going to a peaceful protest I’m bringing my trauma kit because the entire fucking world knows how cops treat protesters.

And what country are you from where racism is not an issue?

No really, where, because a non-racist place to live sounds fantastic, especially nowadays.

Why, have you not played any other Kojima games?

It’s just racism someone dressed up real pretty so they can pat themselves on the back for how enlightened they are.

I mean, you’re the weirdo accepting random liquids from someone.

… Okay no really, who ever in their right mind considered us a “liberal democracy”?

Calm down there, Shiro Ishii.

This is my only issue with having three dogs.

I only have two hands.

So if I come home and they all want attention, I have to split pets between all of them in short intervals or they start pushing each other (and me) around trying to get attention. Or rather, the biggest one pushes in and the smaller two have to climb over themselves to get to my other hand.

This post was good enough to kick me off my phone for the night. I just woke up after about 3 hours and only meant to pull my phone out to turn the audiobook back on, and instead started scrolling.

So thanks for the reminder I should be sleeping!
