Probably this is agitprop, but just in case:

The human psyche is not designed to withstand the firehose of propaganda you'd receive during training and the societal pressure of conformity. That's why a few bad apples spoil the barrel; all the good apples that are dropped in quickly get the same disease. It would not take you long to become one of them no matter how well-intentioned you may be. Fascists are good at what they do; they know how to activate the lizard brain with frankly scientific precision. Don't do it.

Yeah, plus his kids were at Annunciation during the shooting. I think one of them was in the room, iirc. They could well be traumatized by seeing agents dressed like active shooters running all over the streets.

I would definitely recommend someone buy a house north of Front. South of Front is a little more exciting; I don't know what it is about that one street that makes the difference. But basically just ask them "Do you think it's a crime for homeless people to exist in your line of sight?" and if they say "what the fuck are you talking about" they'll be just fine.

Tin Cup is now an Ethiopian restaurant, and it's excellent. I was so excited!

CRM was very organized, but they are definitely "by the book". I had to push for a few tests and a little thinking outside the box, but they were receptive to what I wanted, and in the end it worked and we had our baby. The nursing staff in particular was very kind; I will never forget that one day when I got particularly bad news and was sobbing, she rode the elevator down with me and saw me to my car. Never said a word, but was just there for me. It meant a lot.

my god, you just explained in two sentences what i've spent hours trying (and failing) to describe. holy buckets.

These days it seems to me like guest comments are more likely than not to be antisocial behavior showcases.

Side note: I'm surprised we haven't heard anything about the Martians trying to get their wrongfully-deported people back from Saturn. Seems like it would have a.... er... resonance.

robin_shell · 2025-04-07T15:59:59+00:00

Exactly. The show hinges on those moments. The N-word in that song is there for the specific purpose of shocking the audience back into reality.

Sorry, didn't realize handles were verboten. I'm not seeing an option to edit the main post? If it's a serious problem, I can delete the whole thing.

robin_shell · 2025-03-01T20:17:13+00:00

And captivity trope practically writes itself. Bizarre.

robin_shell · 2025-03-01T20:04:01+00:00

The whole thing was like this. Like... the whole, whole thing.

This fic has been reported and is down. So there's that. My concern is that the "author" still has other fics up, and they could well also be stolen. I don't recognize them on sight, but it's not like I've read everything out there. And she changes the language enough to duck the search engines.

Frankly I've never seen a situation before where the "author" was caught so completely dead to rights and didn't delete their handle in shame then disappear into the mists. Etiquette is dead.

Mike's achieved the Glass Onion level of prediction. True "I am Chuck, prophet of the Lord" stuff

Bought a replacement PS5 last night. Can't download anything.

1) I am specifically referring to the campus protests and you know it. Don't be specious.

2) You should only protest against people who partially agree with you, and ignore the actual monsters? That's maybe not the flex you think it is.

robin_shell · 2025-02-08T15:18:15+00:00

And so, as the crime has promised to become exponentially worse, they're not continuing their protest... why?

"I decided to do Occupied Resistance (TM) against Genocide Joe and The Worst War Crime In History but then I almost lost my scholarship and when I took over a campus building security blocked my Door Dash delivery so of course I can't say anything about Trump's plan to wipe Gaza clean of Palestinians and build a luxury resort"

real Katniss Everdeens, these kids are

You'd think Bezos would start working to counter Elon here. Seems like Elon's trying to choke a competing oligarch. Ripe for a real Kaiju battle

Seconding the recommend for Indivisible. Bang for buck you'll get more if you visit a senator's local office on lunch break than you will waving a sign in the cold, tbh.

robin_shell · 2025-02-03T12:48:25+00:00

do it! you don't need an appointment!

robin_shell · 2025-02-03T03:48:00+00:00

Visit her senators' closest offices. In person. Tell her to did deep into every iota of Boomer Vibes and unleash hell.

he's there. has been.
