We’ve got a gallon pickle jar to put our loose change in. When it gets full, we pick through it for collectables, go to the next city over to use the bank’s coin sorter, and drop the results into savings.

Teddy sniffing glue, he was twelve years old, fell from the roof on East 2-9, Cathy was eleven when she pulled the plug, twenty six reds and a bottle of wine.
But people don’t like that song, so you’re right about not wanting to talk about it.

- Comment on Online ‘Pedophile Hunters’ Are Growing More Violent — and Going Viral: With the rise of loosely moderated social media platforms, a fringe vigilante movement is experiencing a dangerous evolution. 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, I got accusations thrown at me after letting a trans lady crash at my place when she came out and her ex-wife kicked her out of the house. Everybody was an adult, but the ex-wife found a friend in the TERFs, and they think trans rights is pedo apologism.
I got molested by my babysitter when I was 5, and it was incredibly infuriating to hear people say it was the same as a fucking divorce.

Incoming fabric nerd. Bolts are like the spool when you buy filament, they come in different styles, but its typically just a bit of cardboard the fabric is wrapped around for storage. Fabric is typically sold by the linear yard, and if you buy a full bolt, they tell you how many yards of fabric it has on it. Common sizes are 12yd bolts, 24yd bolts, and 30yd bolts.

There is no way you can convince me that gentrification is actually good for kids. Property tax funding education does nothing but punish poor families.
- Comment on Spent half an hour on it. Felt good. 1 month ago:
I hated them as soon as I figured out that they were taking material from the public domain, and trying to deny other people the right to use the same public domain material. I think I was in middle school when I ran into their copyright bullshit with my Little Mermaid fanfic after I read the Andersen version.
- Comment on Brave CEO rants about "lefties," "glowies," George Soros 1 month ago:
They grew up getting their heads shoved into toilets, and are now eager to shove somebody else’s head into the toilet. I’m in my mid-30s, and I absolutely remember the teachers turning a blind eye to a bunch of kids ganging up on me with sticks in middle school, only to get detention for hitting them back with the book of arthurian legends I was trying to read.
We basically got taught that bullying is a good thing the strong do to the weak, and it fucked up multiple generations.
- Comment on This speaks for itself 1 month ago:
Instead of being blinded by feelings, we need to start working together to craft new narratives for the results we actually want. It’s not even that hard to do.
Bingo.
I once got somebody to think differently about green energy by harassing the power of patriotism. His initial argument basically boiled down to “new is scary and I don’t see why we need to change anyways”, and I hit him with a “what are you talking about, innovation is what made america great”, and I could see the loading icon spin in his brain.
I’ve also gotten conservative family in on medicare-for-all by pointing out that the military maybe doesn’t have enough healthy citizens to pull from if a crisis happened, and if we’re gonna be serious about national defense, we absolutely need national healthcare.

- Comment on Barn-shaped home produces almost twice as much energy as it needs 1 month ago:
The home is situated on the site of an old farmer’s barn
Did they remodel the barn, or is this new construction on former agricultural land? If it’s a remodel, I need a lot more evidence that a barn can go from a drafty storage space to an energy effiecient livable space.
