Uhh, bad. I’m holding up objectively well under the circumstances compared to the past, but the circumstances are… You know.

This supports the idea I’ve had that the CIA isn’t behind him. Asto whether they and the military will care for the trillion dollar bribe, we’ll see.

Liverwurst and pickles on cinnamon raisin bread. The salt and savory work with the sweet bread IMO. Gotta use the good liverwurst though. It’s so goddamn hard to find these days. Kahn’s.

The Alt NatPark guys are saying more like five million on 4/5 nationwide.

They gotta hit JD first if they’re gonna fix anything.

Sure, one scar. We were demolishing a bigass concrete retaining wall and I was chipping out the wrought iron handrail. Couldn’t be arsed with safety glasses and safety squints weren’t doing it, so I was just chipping it out with a 35lb electric jackhammer with my eyes closed most of the time. As I got to the last parts, it was really starting to lean out over me.

Absolute looney toons moment. About five hundred pounds of wrought iron fell over onto my head while my eyes were closed and made a two-inch tear on my scalp. It was floppy enough that it didn’t break my neck, but I had to get staples.

I’m not well educated on it, but I think circumcision is falling out of favor in the USA to some extent.

Uncut. Fuck lawns. Back in 2020 or so I jokingly asked my housemate if he wanted a yard or an orchard when he was bringing in more fruit bushes, and we realized it was a serious question and the answer was resoundingly “orchard”.

And for the bait, still uncut. I’ve got the cock nature intended for me and I like it that way. Every once in a while I’ll get smacked or scraped in a way that makes the circumcised guys wince, but it doesn’t hurt me at all. Imagine wanting your most sensitive spot exposed to suffer for every scrape, lol

This cannot be healthy.

Nope. Maybe a real genius dog could notice you said boy instead of girl, but I don’t think they’d really understand the context well enough to get it like a human does.

Yeah, definitely. Women who love guys like that are more common than people think. I know a bunch. I married one. Stay upbeat and financially self-sufficient and you can find someone who’s right for you. The idea that you have to be a tough guy to get dates has evolved from a misconception to a fucking psyops.

By the way, as a bi guy, I have never considered a man “adorable” or “a sweetheart” unless I thought I’d enjoy dating him. I must presume that women are often the same way.

Get the mental health services for now. It’ll probably help you stay more stable for the difficult planning and decisions that may need to be done. I don’t think the labor camps will pop up suddenly enough to ambush many people. You aren’t as cornered as you feel right now. Figure out your exit plan, figure out your threshold for when to run, and try to live your life and/or resist in the meantime. There are lots of beautiful places to run if you’re willing to learn a new language. Spend some time reading about immigration laws so you’ll know what to do. It’s a little less scary when you know the plan in detail.

I played FTB in its glory days. Not sure what’s good now, but I miss Thaumcraft and Xycraft.

I bought Minecraft on an impulse. I’d heard people talking about it but didn’t know much. Looked it up, and it was going to enter Beta in twenty minutes. Bought it on the spot, installed it the next morning, have logged untold thousands of hours ever since.

Imma need a link for this please. Who?

Could you stick to Yankee or Yank or something? It’s not like I find the disdain confusing, but Septic is a little heavy-handed. We’ve got big and growing problems, but we are all still people here, and not everybody under that umbrella has been asking for it. The assholes in charge have been running on minority support for decades now.

Curious, though. Septic tanks are a standard feature in rural USA. Are they rare in the rest of the world? Is this something we’re considered odd for?

Do you think you provide housing? Here’s a list of common signs:

If someone stole all your tools, you’d kill them, and you don’t think that’s weird.

Unhealthy relationship with caffeine (bonus points for other substances too)

At least one fucked-up bone or joint

There’s some Liquid Nails or silicone caulk stuck in your favorite work shirt

Your hearing isn’t as good as it used to be

Regular porta-shitter use

If two or more of these fit your lifestyle, you may be a provider of housing.

If it’s from current events in America, I had the same problem til I started going to protests. Otherwise, meditation and/or some basic meds might do the trick.

That’s a major symptom of depression.

Yeah, if we can win this and kick him out, I’m not going to stop my activism for years. Even if we can’t, I’m going to be an activist somewhere in the free world after I run.
