I haven’t thought about those books in years. I think it’s time for another dive into that series.

one of my favorites

Sigur Ros made good sex music. Don’t know if they still do, but they did.

Weaponized procrastination. Avoid doing the thing you want to do by doing something else.

Just the other day I cleaned most of my apartment because I was not in the headspace to write lore.

Another day I really needed to do laundry, most productive writing day I had in a while.

Upvoting to promote conversation, but wholeheartedly disagree. Artists have a right to sign their work, and separating an artist’s signature from their art is douchy behavior.

According to my source who is a very low level person in the usa military, the school was across a street from the military base that was targeted.

Of course, my first question after they told me that was “is that what happened or is that what they told you happened?”

at that point they might as well be wearing swasticas.

I disagree on every point, but you made me laugh so you get an upvote.

I’m not going to be first in line to start doing something that actually fucking matters, but you bet your ass I’ll be third.

That’s been a thing long before zoomers have been around.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” I would often be asked.

“Because what you just said was so mind blowingly asinine that I need a moment to put together a response.”

well fuck me for prioritizing the genocides happening in my own country over the genocides happening on the other side of the planet.

edit: responded to the wrong comment, but the one I meant to respond to was also by you so I’m leaving it.

hold on, I have something for this

FOUND IT

displayport is the modern successor to vga.

both sides are bad. One is just infinitely worse.

People refusing to vote for the lesser of two evils is what got us the worse evil!

The problem is that the 1/3 of americans who are actually opposed to this country being a fascist dictatorship are disorganized and scattered. You’re right, one or two or three guys with guns won’t accomplish much. Others in this thread have commented “where’s your militia?” or something like that, and it’s about time we make one.

I cannot blame you for wanting to keep your head down and waiting for all this to blow over. If I’m super lucky, maybe I can do that too. I’m rather pessimistic about the future though. To be honest, I talk a big game but I’m not doing shit until/unless I know I can make a difference.

It is my opinion that even if I had a perfect plan and was able to describe it perfectly, it wouldn’t work because it requires people to work together, and to make sacrifices for others. So things will slowly continue to get worse until I get put in a work camp over not being able to keep my mouth shut.

To loop this back to the original point, no having guns is not the solution. However, it is a critical part of the larger and more nuanced solution.

it was in the news when it happened

and also discussed a lot here

If I’m not willing to stick my neck out to help you when they come to take you away, who the hell will be left to do the same for me when it’s my turn?

My gun doesn’t protect me. My gun protects you. Your gun protects me.

eh, it was the best I got

Lots of people got insurance claims approved, enabling them to get life saving care that otherwise would have been denied. It’s just a shame that it was a one-off and not a recurring thing.
