They’re pretty fun to paint. Lots of complex curves and surfaces.

Hearing an ad for online therapy read by a generated voice and feeling absolutely ashen and midnightpilled as it tells me I won’t need to take time off work because I can talk to someone at my computer.

Yes this is my read

It feels like a leap to me that they’re specifically satirizing Ukraine.

People will say that Stalin was a rich man because he owned 9bababillions cats, but the cats were state-owned.

counterpoint:

A party so miserably rife with cowardice that they won’t even just admit what everyone knows, they have to gesture around the space it is like a midwesterner trying to say goodbye.

Seeing the pokemon games I played growing up in the “never played” tier.

That’s Eatingassimov, you absolute buffoon.

The final session (of sucking)

My dad was telling me earlier about how these crows have been hanging around our house and he saw some squirrels trying to chase them off.

Better control and access to the Black Sea, plus better agricultural land and I think oil fields. Plus the whole NATO thing and the proximity to Moscow.

What about Redd Foxx though?

Such a “sexual” vs. “sexualized” character is just someone with a modicum of skill going “Nah, it’s cool, she is into being hot.”

I don’t care, for the record. I think it’s fine to make characters that are hot and enjoy that.

Folks, the garbage has gone woke.

can’t have both go through the same headphones

Poisson d’Avril!

So I switched to AntennaPod on my phone for podcasts, but I still need a good replacement for google podcasts on my computer. I’m used to switching back and forth between my phone and pc without having to find my place in the track again when I switch, so if there’s a way I can still rock that, that’d be cool.

It probably is something that makes sense when you’ve experienced it. There’s a certain quality about camp as a place that’s detached from the rest of your life and temporary that allows one the freedom to be themselves - or maybe more importantly, someone else - because the consequences for fucking up are inherently limited. You don’t have to worry about your parents or your social status back home, no one knows about the time you peed your pants in school. Plus a lot of camps do stuff that breeds camaraderie but are unusual for normal life. Singing at mealtimes, cabins having projects to be done over the whole period and shown off, and other ways for kids to feel like they’re part of a group. And this gets reinforced by the aforementioned safe space to figure yourself out. Because the consequences for oversharing or whatever are limited to the time that you’re there, kids often allow themselves to be more vulnerable and talk to their peers about embarrassing or difficult subjects. In general I just think that the particular nature of a camp as separate from everything else is what makes it so valuable for youths development.
