When I worked in a mall, there were no staff toilets. So I was subjected to a slightly less extreme version of that maybe 2-3 times a week.
I call that symphony “ringing the taco bells”.
Gentle nerd freak of the pacific northwest. All nation states are vermin.

If you honestly believed that democracts and republicans are identical on israel and you care about human suffering you’d look at all the other ways that trump and his fascists have promised to brutalize everyone who’s not them and minimize human suffering by voting for a democrat.
Trump killing trans people, immigrants and palestinans is not a moral victory for opponents of our genocide in gaza.
Yeah, that makes it very hard to vote for them, I feel that. But that’s a problem that gets worse by not voting for a democrat.
Republicans have promised to genocide harder and trump has already been coordinating with netanyahu to counter anything that might reduce palestinans deaths.
I don’t like it either but it’s time to be an adult, do the unpleasant thing, and vote for a democrat.
Don’t vote “for/against whoever”. Vote against trump like an adult - that means voting democrat.
Sure, picking between two options that you don’t want is legitimately hard for human brains to do. But republicans have promised and begun to brutalize minorities at ever larger scales, and are objectively worse than democrats on everything that matters.
Handing the reins of state power to fascists has never improved life for leftists or humanity.
Rebury the disarticulated ochre-painted bones of an important deceased community member!
“Edomite!”
I was getting onto a bus, someone looked me over and spat out the word. It was clear from the tone that it was an insult, but it also sounded suspiciously bronze age, so I was very excited to find out what it meant.
Turns out it’s a biblical reference used by some black nationalist groups in the US to refer to white people as unclean or diseased. Edom was one of several late bronze age Canaanite kingdoms. At one point the torah describes them as slightly paler and dirty, hence the insult.
I really love seeing a well curated list, and that’s a well curated list.
There are many contributing factors. Part of it is russian and american oligarchs spending heaps of cash to amplify any and every message that could help trump win.
Nations. As in centralized hierarchical states. Brutal killing machines all. It’s been what maybe 4-8k years of their bullshit and I for one am fucking sick of it.
When I was an undergraduate, a friend of mine wrote a book review of the bible for the student newspaper.
The opening sentence was: “Not since Naked Lunch has such a boring book been saved by the constant barrage of sadomasochistic homosexual pornography.”
The sookie stackhouse books that got turned into true blood have such a fun premise but are appallingly written. A friend and I used to play the audiobooks at parties for laughs.
That sounds like depression, executive dysfunction or some other brain dopamine issue. No amount of lists or “trying harder” (😂🙄) is going to help. Speak to a doctor about it.
My favorite genre is what I can screechy women singing weirdly. I can’t decide whether my favorite part is the screeching or the weirdness.
I’d most recommend that other people listen to gamelan orchestras though. It’s like the sound of dancing rain.
If they’ve already proven they can steal and lie, of course they’ll get VC money.
I’m not sure I understand your point so if I’m off base let me know.
Firstly, inheriting $200k - $1M doesn’t keep anyone poor. It doesn’t even stop wealth from concentrating at a level that harms others and warps society - it just prevents that level of wealth from passing down to people who did nothing.
Secondly, if everyone was poor who would be controlling them? You have to keep most people poor and a much smaller group of people unassailably wealthy to control them. That’s exactly the problem that high death taxes address.
Estate taxes is woefully small. There should be a 100% death tax on all assets after $1M, excluding a single home.
Reminds me of a line from The Maxx: “The Crapon-in-a-hat and Jean Paul Satre team up to fight nausea? Sounds like a losing battle to me.”
First time I quit i was sick and cigarettes tasted awful for a week, so I figured if I had already gone a week without I might as well quit. Whenever I got a craving I thought about how disgusting they tasted with a cold, and imagined spongey lungs filling with black tar till I gave myself a shiver of disgust.
I started up again years later while traveling, then quit for good while visiting my parents for 2 months - I know I’m too embarrassed to smoke around my parents.
