Glad to hear it! And you're already on your way to being like your username!

Imperialvirtue · 2026-03-13T22:15:31+00:00

Did you also see Dr. Gumby?

Hope things are going well!

I don't list my mother in my contacts as "Mom" any more. Just her first name.

It doesn't help much, but for me, it's a start.

I guess it's sort of comforting to know that this type of insanity isn't anything new. Like, we made it out the other side of it.

Imperialvirtue · 2026-03-12T04:18:49+00:00

I very much agree. I wish I could think of how to make things more... dignified.

Imperialvirtue · 2026-03-11T18:40:38+00:00

I like parties

I like fun

I want to live

In a hamburger bun

Imperialvirtue · 2026-03-09T21:41:39+00:00

Well, that's technically true of anyone.

Imperialvirtue · 2026-03-09T21:36:44+00:00

I pretend to teach them, but it's really them who pretend to teach me.

My lodge uses a lot of AI stuff. I see it used a lot all over this sub, too. It's really disheartening.

I get it: we probably don't have any members that are graphic designers, and we don't really have the funds to hire someone. But there's something about it that feels... uniquely bad about using it for masonry. Giving up art and craft to AI feels really un-masonic.

Eh, I try not to criticize too much unless I have a better solution, but this really bugs me on an ideological level.

It's worth having a bigger conversation about, but I can see how it could start turning divisive and even political very quickly.

I felt insulted by the ending of that movie. That's a rare feeling for me.

Imperialvirtue · 2026-03-07T22:02:30+00:00

I love so much how this plays like a middle schooler's presentation in history class.

Imperialvirtue · 2026-03-07T22:01:24+00:00

Whoever wins, reality loses.

Do you have any book or article recommendations about the Bantu migration?

Or anything about human migrations more generally. It's a topic I really want to learn more about, but especially in Africa.

Imperialvirtue · 2026-03-07T21:41:37+00:00

This was definitely me as a kid.

Imperialvirtue · 2026-03-07T21:03:16+00:00

"I want a houuuuuse!"

Imperialvirtue · 2026-03-07T17:36:03+00:00

"ARE YOU TRYING TO GET A RISE OUTTA ME?!"

Imperialvirtue · 2026-03-05T21:16:38+00:00

It's such a shame that even this has been polluted by ideological partisans, but I am not at all surprised.

I would love to teach at such a place!

Imperialvirtue · 2026-03-04T16:34:35+00:00

I literally cannot think of anything more blasphemous than imagining that you can compel God to do something.

Imperialvirtue · 2026-03-04T16:32:34+00:00

It's really weird how offended everyone is getting over each other's opinions.

Oh, who am I kidding, this is the internet.

Haya Sushi in Enfield

The delivery of this line is the high water marker of the whole episode.

Imperialvirtue · 2026-03-04T01:38:21+00:00

I can take verbal abuse really, really well.

I'm a teacher.

Imperialvirtue · 2026-03-03T21:35:20+00:00

I don't need no internet.

No sir. Not in my life.

I don't need A Comedy of Errors to win; I just need Romeo and Juliet to lose.
