See, when I was a teenager, my friends and I passed around a journal that we would each write in for about a week. We’d scribble little comments in the margins and write down jokes and comics and riddles that we’d take turns trying to solve in later entries.
And then Facebook happened.
- Comment on I am an American. I used to be proud of my country. Now it feels like a turd circling the drain. Is there anything going on behind the scene that America is actually doing good in? 3 hours ago:
I appreciate the reality check. It’s not often that I get to see that perspective. Thank you.

I appreciate your earnestness. But speaking as an American artist, your country absolutely has the same caliber of talent and creativity. It just doesn’t have the Hollywood dollar attached to it. I don’t even know where you live. I can say that with my whole chest because creative expression is an inherent part of being a human being. You can’t suppress it, control it, or sell it for long without it rebelling against its constraints. Or shouting itself from the literal rooftops.
I think that’s the most valuable thing in the world. You should look into locally produced art and cinema. I guarantee you your local arts college has an independent film festival.

American here.
No. We’re living in the early stages of a fascist dictatorship. And we’ve been doing this to the rest of the world for way too fucking long. The sooner we come to grips with the fact that the hens have come home to roost and we’re reaping what we’ve sown, the sooner we can actually take it down and build something better.

This was extremely informative, thank you very much for sharing your expertise.

Did we watch the same TV show as kids?? I wouldn’t call the invasion of Geonosis a ‘softball mission’.

Should look into madness studies. It’s an entire college-level course on the cultural value of people with mental health disorders.

So my daily existence as a human being is sexually explicit.
Bruh, I am asexual. The only one here who’s horny is you.

Ex-Mormon here.
Mormons like to brag that their kids are healthier and smarter because their mothers are guaranteed to have had no exposure to alcohol or secondhand smoke.
Because of this, there is such a deep culture of shame around even drinking coffee or tea, because it breaks the health code of the religion. It’s treated with the same severity as eating pork if you’re Jewish or Muslim. No, not everyone does it. But the few who do will go to every length possible to hide it. I met a dude who used to call out sick and wear sunglasses and a wig when he bought caffeine pills at the grocery store. His wife divorced him over that.
If he does have FAS, I would bet you $100 right now that the only one who would know would be his mom, and she’ll take that shit to her grave.

I’d want to chat with someone from the future. I want to know if we’ll make it. If we’ll be alright.

- Comment on Afghanistan | Taliban new penal code legalizes domestic violence against women 3 weeks ago:
You know, I respect people who use their religion as an impetus to make the world a better place. The civil rights fighters and humanitarian groups that are like, “Hey, our religion tells us that suffering is something we can prevent and alleviate, so we do it.” I like those religious people.
These are NOT those religious people. Therefore, fuck this interpretation of Islam a thousand ways, this is the 21st god damn century.
- Comment on Texas Republican Primary having a normal one 4 weeks ago:
Thank you for mentioning this. I don’t even have that set of equipment, and it boggles my mind that this is normal and acceptable to anyone. Even using religion as a reason just seems ridiculous. Why the hell would you ever cause that much physical pain to a child for a cosmetic procedure?
“Oh, they’re transing the kids!” Fucker, you asked your doctor to cut off part of your son’s junk before he even developed the capacity to lift his own head. Shut the fuck up.
- Comment on Trigger warning - This Epstein stuff is making me sick... 4 weeks ago:
Fuck, man, doing this to an adult is heinous. Doing it to a child? I’m not typically a violent person. But I’d kill them.
- Comment on In a blind test, audiophiles couldn't tell the difference between audio signals sent through copper wire, a banana, or wet mud 4 weeks ago:
Seems like you know what you’re talking about. If I may ask, how do ferrite beads figure into this? Do those actually help protect signal, or is it less effective?
- Comment on if you delete this you're a coward 4 weeks ago:
I know there’s an implication here. But I can’t be arsed to figure it out.
She’s a teenager. She’s gonna be comparing her body to what she sees on TV and discussing it with her friends and peers. Like literally every other teenage girl I have ever met. You and the two fascist assholes you screengrabbed clearly aren’t her friends or her peers. Fuck off.
- Comment on Which is it?. 4 weeks ago:
I love broccoli florets. The stems, I can take 'em or leave 'em. I’ve certainly eaten worse things than thick, fresh, healthy broccoli. Brocs 4 life!

I used to boil them before I fed them to my snails.
I miss my mystery snails. They were little weird alien water bunnies, and I loved them.

- Comment on What launcher should I replace Nova with? 5 weeks ago:
Pear Launcher is nice. Fossify Home is good, too. I prefer Pear since it lets you use icon themes.

I gotta wonder how long it took the photographer to set up this photo. I mean, they were probably sitting there with a little paintbrush gently sweeping away dirt from the roots just to get the perfect root exposure for this pic.
- Comment on Is it theoretically possible Trump and ICE are killing a very large number of immigrants (like 25% of those detained) and no one knows? 5 weeks ago:
Add it to the list of reasons I’m disgusted with my country, and disgusted with myself for ever being proud of it.

Comparing the audience garnered by corporate media vs unethical independent media vs ethical independent media, America functionally does not actually have a free press. Take it from someone who had to stare down the barrel of a camera and get blasted on live TV for doing the right thing.

I’ve been meaning to learn how to sabotage the pump to get the ads to not even play. It’s on the list of anarchist things to do.

Literally though! This is literally the entire reason I got fed up with ads! What’s the point if I’m too poor to buy the junk they’re hawking?!
