From my cold, well-lubricated hands!

When you realize brains have named everything they know that exists, and even things that don’t exist.

Well… shit.

Jokes on you, I’m into that shit.

It helps with my lower back pain, it feels like I’m just floating afterwards, like my spine has liquified. Orgasms in general just help make the pain go away, sex is better, but I’ll take what I can get.

Yeah, in my mind, Sci-fi is more than just space ships or aliens or futuristic tech (though those are loosely part of it), it's more about exploring different questions, under the guise of some sort of new technology. "Hey, we invented this thing that can remove racism from people's brains, but it also makes people love-obsessed and creates dependency issues in people. Should we use this on the population?" It raises moral/ethical questions about what we could or should do given the chance.

Star Wars is straight-up fantasy with high-tech aesthetics, but it has more in common with Lord of the Rings than it does with anything sci-fi. It's about a hero's journey and good vs evil.

I wonder if you couldn't do a reverse Fantasy/Sci-fi story? Basically a sci-fi sort of story with fantasy trappings. Like a fantasy story that looks at some new magic development and what the implications for humanity are of that new magic process. "We perfected an alchemical process to turn poop into gold! Should we flood the market with poo-gold and crash the medieval economy?"

I just saw a video on the show on the youtube channel Secret Galaxy, pretty interesting, as I remembered the show, but never knew what happened to it:

I'm worried about fraud in the 2024 election coming FROM Republicans.

Small dong energy

I have thought upon it and am of the mind that he posts about it, then forgets he ever posted it, and posts it again thinking it’s still the first time.

I think he could make a compelling argument justifying it if Trump were to win the election, a sort of Julius Caesar part deux. I think you could make the case that American democracy as we know it would end if Trump were elected president and that in order to protect democracy, his assassination was needed. However, in doing so, American democracy as we know it would still end because Biden would be opening the door to domestic political assassination being in a president's tool belt, so it's kind of a catch-22. We're damned if we do, damned if we don't. So really, the only thing that will "save" democracy is if people vote for Harris, that's where we're at as a country. I'd love to vote third party, I actually didn't care much for Harris before Biden dropped out, but the stakes are really too high this election to consider anything else.

I grew up in a home where we just never thought about wearing, or not wearing, shoes in the house. Like, we obviously didn't track mud all over the place if our shoes were that dirty, but if we were wearing our shoes inside, nobody said anything or cared, it was just whatever. Married a Kenyan who put her foot down and was like, "Are you crazy?" It's apparently a big thing elsewhere in the world. In Kenya alot of roads aren't paved, things get dusty, and it's just common sense that you don't walk all over the house with dirty shoes, so I get it from that perspective.

Hopefully this will make future war crime prosecutions easier, supposing we live long enough to ever see that day.

We’re just going all in on trying to get to WW3 and the Rapture, huh?

The guy who wants to ban Muslims from entering the country is doing better among Muslims than the person who will probably get accused of being a Muslim by a good portion of the country.

She moved on. I was young and stupid and she had better things to do than deal with an insecure loser like me. She had a really awesome black chevy nova with a license plate ‘SPOOKY1’ and one of the most awesome things we did was make a bleeding heart cake to impress her pretentious goth friends. A few years back though, she died from a heroin overdose, her Mom had reached out to me on facebook and we talked some, she was a nice lady. Ex-gf had apparently been having some issues in her life and had not-good influences that pushed her back into drugs. C'est la vie.

I’ve been the boyfriend in this situation with a hot goth chick. No idea what she saw in me.

We should’ve been done with this shit almost 4 years ago. Trump and everyone else that participated in Jan 6 should’ve been rotting in prison cells by now.

It’s an aesthetic decision.
