Frasier was on my backlog of stuff to watch. It's nice when my backlog clears itself like this.

I used Chiaki to play Yakuza 0 on my PS4 the first few months I had my Deck. Worked really well!

He's one of the best sci-fi autors around. I've re-read old man's war a few times.

I thought this was too ambitious to come out.

My eyes mixed up Susan Collins and Tom Cotton, so I said outloud "What did Tom Collins do?"

The One Piece!

American really will use any measurement except metric

Just read through all of your comics! I caught a few of the Konsi ones here and there. Excellent series!

Is that Konsi's god?

I tried a pair of boat shoes, I think? They slip on. They're not as comfortable, so my feet still hurt. I think it has to do with arch support? Maybe?

I don't have am answer why, but my feet hurt like hell after a day of standing around or walking without the memory foam. I'm trying to find a good pair of professional looking shoes that fit like Sketcher memory foam actually.

Thank you for teaching me something really cool today!

What a bitch. You've been doing this for 30 years and didn't fix anything.

I was walking past a parked cat at the hospital the other day, and the driver was all pissed because they put one of those violation stickers on it, and she was just dropping off food. It was parked in an intersection. In the crosswalk. Under the "No Stopping For Any Reason" sign. At a children's hospital. I didn't have a lot of sympathy for her.

Seeing weird anime and other TV during late nights in my teens. Also discovering video games I hadn't known about. There was mystery back then, and now everything feels discovered.

How could he be sad in such a fun shirt!?

I know of him, and applaud him. If I were a better man, perhaps I could do as he did. However, I no longer have that energy in me to waste. What I can do is shut their voices out of my world and my family's world. From there, I hope the Daryl Davis's of the world help them heal. But it will not be me.

Yeah, I think you've got me right there. When it comes to being a bigot, I do believe in ostracizing and silencing, in order to put them in a tiny fringe echo chamber. That is much safer than having their ideas out in the open. Racists and bigots should be afraid of stating their opinion, this way their backwards-ass ideas die out with them. Because people aren't racist from well thought out rational thought. Their racist because of emotions like fear and anger. Something is going wrong in their life and it's easier to blame a marginalized group than it is it take responsibility. No amount of debate will fix that, and I'm tired of trying. Fuck them.

I also firmly believe in the paradox if tolerance. You cannot tolerate the intolerant, and part of that includes not treating their opinions as valid. Because they are not.

Offices aren't filled to the brim with evil people

It depends on what you mean here. If your politics say that LGTBQ+ people don't deserve to live, that some children just need to die (school lunches being cut), that it's ok to force raped children to give birth, then, yeah you'reat least a little evil. If you believe that women or people of a different skin color are less than you you're at least a little evil. Even if you're a pleasant conversationalist, even if you donate time and money, are kind to children and animals, if you have evil opinions, or support people who do, you are a little evil.

In my experience, it's the boomers and fellow far right wing that talk politics in the workplace. Especially when they think it's a safe space for "locker room talk". Then they accuse the younger generation of being political because they dare to have LGTBQ+ pins, or don't want to participate with racism or don't look down on someone for having dyed hair.
