  • There's nothing in the rulebook that says badonks can't play basket ball.

  • Let's not get too hot and bothered by sixteen lines of copypasta doggerel. As far as nuance goes, the entire point of the poem is to serve as "baby's first nuance." Its intended audience is indeed 14-year-olds (and others who share their solipsism) who think they are deep, and who resent their parents -- as if those parents didn't try, as if those parents weren't ever children themselves. And Larkin, misanthropic shit that he was, mischievously suggests that perhaps those people should not have children themselves.

    Anyway, it seemed appropriate to post in response to a shitpost about someone who is angry at being born without their consent.

  • This Be The Verse
    \ By Philip Larkin

    They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
    \ They may not mean to, but they do.
    \ They fill you with the faults they had
    \ And add some extra, just for you.

    But they were fucked up in their turn
    \ By fools in old-style hats and coats,
    \ Who half the time were soppy-stern
    \ And half at one another’s throats.

    Man hands on misery to man.
    \ It deepens like a coastal shelf.
    \ Get out as early as you can,
    \ And don’t have any kids yourself.

    You mean a grave? A big round grave for humanity on the moon?

  • Laser rifles need a portable power source. Given that a 25 lb. backpack two-stroke leaf blower engine generates 4 HP, assume the military can put together a power pack. It might either be a 50 lb., 10 HP generator backpack that includes a gallon fuel tank, or a 50 lb. Lithium-Ion battery generating the same power.

  • I won't pretend that some negative stereotypes about bisexuals don't originate from broken-hearted unisexual folks' lived experience (which is still no excuse to defame all bisexuals), but a lot -- A LOT -- of bisexual stereotypes and erasure comes from old-fashioned homophobia.

  • Position? But I wanted to measure velocity tonight!
