Not his real name but its the only thing anyone called him and I never knew another name for him

Used to a know a guy named Mop who had a dog named Filanges on account of his long toes. He called me bud and gave me brisket every chance he could as long as I stayed for a conversation

The pig is owned by a pig lmao

Depends on the project. Manual labor? Group 100% of the time. Intellectual labor? Alone the vast majority of the time.

I don’t use AI if I can help it.

Is this about Cheney? It feels like its about Cheney lol

:)

I miss anarchostripperism

Haven’t seen any of them in like 6 years, maybe more

Way ahead of you, taking an anthropology course rn lol

This is gonna sound fucked up bc it absolutely was but I only learned that women are people when I was like 15 maybe 16. By that I mean complex and interesting in a way deserving of respect and patience. I was a shitty kid who grew up around a lot of misogyny. Learning this earlier would have saved women in my life a lot of trouble and grief they didn’t deserve. There are a lot of people I’ll never be able to make it up to and I think about them a lot tbh. I wish I could find 2 of them to atleast say sorry.

On a less consequential note though, I wish I had learned how interesting history can be far earlier. I spend the majority of my undergrad on physics which I liked to think about but didn’t actually enjoy doing very often. I struggled heavily compared to my peers especially as I came to realize most of the uses for my degree would betray the morals I was developing at the time. My interest in the subject remained but my motivation to be good at it plummeted. I took an art history course as an elective in my 3rd year and fell in love. Not only was it beautiful and interesting in the mechanical sense but the evolution and variety of human expression was endlessly fascinating. I am a history major now and while some of the romance has faded at the hands of 200 pages of grain and transport statistics I am much happier. It’s a wonder I did not realize this sooner to be entirely honest. I am autistic and have always loved obsessing over fictional worlds, knowing everything about them until I ran out of things to know, digesting and regurgitating their lore to anyone who will listen. How I did not see the greatest story right in front of me I will never know. It also ended up being far more alligned with my morals which is a plus.

I am honestly glad I discovered it when I did. Any earlier and I would have been (more) insufferable and my somewhat reactionary family would be aware.

The non-pedophile obviously? How is this a question? Are you genuinely asking if I’d rather be gay or a sex offender?

This would put me on suicide watch if I was having a bad day

I actually use my middle and ring finger depending on the angle can be more comfortable

I got star wars (the Mayan kind not the movies)

So you ran PR for the murder machine then? What difference does it make. I’m not calling you an awful person for joining the military, a lot of people join really young before they have a developed understanding of the world and honestly, nationalist indoctrination (cultural osmosis if you want to call it that) plays a huge role. Despite that, serving in the US military IS an awful thing to do no matter the capacity in which you served. It is worth contextualizing the military through how it serves empire (regardless of who is steering that empire) and, through that, internalizing your role. The purpose of the US military is not humanitarianism, it isn’t world peace, it isn’t protecting American citizens. It exists to protect the interests of the American ruling class through violence. You helped do that. I am not asking you to beat yourself up about it, I am not even asking you to atone through actual community service. I just want you not to pretend that there is a single benevolent role that someone can play in a machine made for murder.

Please don’t call him that. It isn’t his preferred name

Give up military occupation of Sahrawi territory and we can talk

Eating your young but tbh I made it the fuck up. Probably not a real word
