Every year we leave out a sacrifice for the god of charity and the eight beasts who drag him across the sky.
And by that I mean cookies and milk and carrots for Santa and his reindeer.
It’s all in the phrasing.

I agree! Fuck them all.
It’s still the best option we have until we fix it.

And it’s been working. For a long time.

And it will still be the correct thing to do.
Fuck. FPTP.

The school sorts you into one of four gangs for this express purpose.

My wife makes street corn at home, but sometimes she gets lazy and just tosses chili powder on it instead of doing the whole spice blend.
She also doesn’t read very carefully.
That’s how I learned that corn on the cob with cinnamon is actually fantastic.

Vengeance instead of justice I guess. Terrifying.

It’s a lot easier to have compassion when your Ego melts into the universe
- Comment on I'm not even gay 1 week ago:
Maybe that’s exactly it. Maybe they hate gay people because they hate the temptation that they offer.

The bears
- Comment on When you get carried away with the corn 2 weeks ago:
From what I’ve seen, it’s like the beans. It’d been a while since we had some ridiculous/fun trend.
I still haven’t found what started it though.
- Comment on When you get carried away with the corn 2 weeks ago:
Today? Well you see, there was a lot of corn yesterday and it’s still going.
- Comment on What is the first electronic device kids get these days? (Desktop, Laptop, Tablet, Phone, Game consoles?) 3 months ago:
Tablet. And the cage was created by me to keep them safe. They’ll get more access and bigger toys as they age.

- Comment on We are stopping shipments to the US - Kiwix 3 months ago:
If the person in the US is only willing to pay 70, then the artist will get less than 70.
Sure, the American pays the tariff. That’s not the point. The point is that this person wants to spend X total and wants most of that X to end up with the artist. And that doesn’t happen if they have to spend half of X to pay for the tariff.
The point of saying “the American pays the tariff” isn’t to say that the seller makes the same amount. It’s to emphasize that the seller won’t absorb that cost, which is the lie Trump is selling.

This is a definition problem I think. I don’t use the word “responsible” to mean sole ownership. For example. We are all responsible for the cleanliness of our roads. It is a shared responsibility that we all participate in.
And, I think, we are all responsible for modeling good behaviors for people to emulate.
- Comment on what does it mean being nice to your coworkers to you? 3 months ago:
It’s how I’ve explained it to myself over the years. Otherwise people are insufferable :-p.
- Comment on How to selfhost with a VPN 3 months ago:
Of course it does. You’re only ever responsible for yourself.
And that mentality does not lead to good things.
- Comment on How to selfhost with a VPN 3 months ago:
Oh yes. Pushing personal responsibility to the end user has always been a very effective security strategy.
- Comment on what does it mean being nice to your coworkers to you? 3 months ago:
That’s still part of the job. Building and maintaining relationships allows you to call on those relationships to be productive. Even people that seem useless could be connected to other people who are useful.
It’s also part of the job to maintain a baseline of morale.
If a person is truly a time waster, set a boundary and tell your boss.
- Comment on How to selfhost with a VPN 3 months ago:
I’ll bite.
The risk is training people in bad behaviors, and then having those people do stupid things like type in a password.
- Comment on what does it mean being nice to your coworkers to you? 3 months ago:
instead of wasting 30 minutes?
Did the paycheck clear? Did you get paid? Then it wasn’t a waste. It’s part of the job. Do your job. Even the parts you don’t like.
- Comment on XC Running: Does anyone else's parents do this? 3 months ago:
feel like I won’t get anywhere in running
Running is the one sport where you’re guaranteed to get somewhere. Sure, it’s only 500 meters away. But it sounds like you’d benefit from distance from the crazy.
- Comment on That's an impressive drop. Any ideas why? 3 months ago:
People requiring consent more. Also, people being less likely to lie about sexual topics now.
I’d like to see a graph of consensual sex per week over time.

Eh… You won’t catch many people with this. You spelled all your words correctly. You used the Oxford comma. 5/10.
If you want to come off as a properly ignorant bigot, lose the punctuation and capitalize random shit. You also need to say woke at least twice.
