I’m still haunted by the realization that conservatives want hierarchy. They want underclasses. Even when they’re not the top! They don’t want free health care because then the wrong sort of people will get it!

They’re bad people! It’s not about “cost” or market efficiency or anything else they say.

Surely this guy has an address

I wanted this to go to trial so the jury could nullify, but this is a shit timeline.

I’m a broken record on this but the book “Dying of Whiteness” haunts me now.

Seeing who’s playing with bands you like can be an inspiration. That’s how I found Slothrust, years ago.

I think a plain cheese pizza is slightly different than a margherita pizza. It won’t typically have the basil leaves, and the cheese is more uniform.

I’m thinking of like dollar slice pizza. Like these https://secretnyc.co/seamless-dollar-cheese-slice/

But I’m not a pizza-ologist.

Speaking on behalf of a friend, as I prefer toppings: they discovered that a variety of things give them body problems, and it’s easier to just do a plain cheese pie than to try to guess if peppers are going to upset their body today.

The antithesis of a cheese pizza is a pizza with toppings. It’s an idiom, so I wouldn’t recommend thinking too hard on it.

I really wanted him to be found not guilty.

where are the consequences?

Maga folks wouldn’t care if trump used a baby as a shield. Their brains are fermented in in-group loyalty.

The idea of shooting health insurance CEOs dead is heroic. Luigi is the current godwalker of the archetype, to borrow from old rpg Unknown Armies. (Godwalker being the best living representation, subject to the collective beliefs of humanity). It doesn’t really matter if he did it or not. The idea is there.

I thought the velvet underground “run run run” was

Run run run run run take your jacket too

Instead of “take a drag or two”

Good advice when it’s cold out!

The supernatural parts are bad to take literally. Some of the philosophy can be interesting. The rote, blind, following of rules is typically not good.

It makes more sense in the context of early humanity.

Nowadays it’s an excuse for poor behavior and nonsense.

Not only has shit gotten expensive, I got laid off from a good paying job and could only land a middling salary. I used to buy more varied food. I’d order delivery when I had guests over. I’d buy seltzer.

No more. Fuck em. If they don’t want to pay me I’ll keep my spend to a minimum.

Just stop using reddit.

Of course they are. I’m happy to never use twitch but I feel like most people don’t care or don’t have the self discipline to stop.

I honestly forgot that game even existed!

It’s because the decision makers are fucking stupid.

I would be happier at work if we could just solve interesting problems. Instead we have mandates from management to do nonsense, or work in nonsense ways.

The people at the top are so removed from how work gets done, and how normal people live, they’re useless. Worse than useless.

It would still be anti-labor and a force multiplier for confident stupidity.
