Just on the their license plates. Doesn’t mean anything.

Oof.

Wow that is hot.

I have no idea about anything at all, but part of me wants to see this be the result of some predictable, stupid mistake, like a unit conversion error or something, and another part of me wants it to be something totally unpredictable, like some unique gravitational anomaly or some latent radiation of some kind, like, something with muons.

Worst emporer ever.

Legend.

Maybe grow up just a tad.

Just some quick context.

This is at the old military fort on Corsica in the town of Ajjacia, France, birthplace of Napoleon.

I don’t know hardly anything about the fort, but looking at it, it has this grassy moat around it, and the donkey was in there just chowing away in grass and stuff. I think he’s there to help keep it clean, and is probably not a very good fighter, even if highly motivated.

Ha. Someone once told me, “talking is the first step to inaction.”

It takes too much time and resources. A lie runs halfway around the world before the truth laces up it’s shoes.

Manipulators and liars need to be stopped by a higher authority. I’m fine with that authority being civil liability, the criminal justice system obviously sucks at it. Let’s get serious and stop letting this stochastic terrorism go unpunished.

Lose your dad to Fox News conspiracies? Should be able to sue Fox News for child support. Lose your husband to a mass shooting caused by some deranged Trumper that thinks Paul Pelosi is coming to take our guns? Should be able to sue trump personally for wrongful death. It’s not like Fox and Trump don’t know what the consequences are.

Let juries be the arbiters.

This problem isn’t going to be solved without financial liability or violence.

How do you mean they misunderstood the point?

Do you mean like that instead of banning you just squelch them instance by instance, solve the problem that way?

That doesn’t really help disrupt the thing causing the problem. Really just ignoring it.

I don’t know enough about this to have a strong opinion, and again I’m not even sure if that’s what you meant. School me.

Scream in their face “you don’t even fucking know me!”

Some of my best and closest friends were former colleagues, men and women. Just happened naturally. Other coworkers were very close during the work, but then drifted apart immediately when the work ended for whatever reason.

But, don’t have a candy dish, don’t be too inviting, don’t be known as someone who listens to gossip. That’s an important boundary to set.

Misery loves company. If anyone reading this has a “friendship” with a coworker based solely on bitching about the job or other coworkers, it’s a liability not a friendship.

Is this that new camera hack where the led turns off? Jk I don’t smoke.

Everyone, and I think probably especially intellectual people, questions their sexuality (am I attracted to the opposite gender in some way?) and at least their gender expression (am I masculine / feminine enough?) to some extent. It’s no different for a lot of people I think than imposter syndrome and can be tied to a lack of self confidence.

Everyone is also capable of fantasizing about, basically, whatever, and enjoying it, without the fantasy or enjoyment having to mean anything about how they feel about themselves or how others will feel about them.

Also, sexual preference, as kinks and fetishes, develop and change in men at least until some surprising age, like, into your 50s. Like you could live your entire life identifying and living as a one thing and by fifty-five be identifying as something else. I think, and I’m not sure yet, be that’s just life. Most people who don’t live in a safe space bubble and don’t leave their home town or school aged friend group have to reinvent themselves multiple times in life.

Also also, sexual pleasure and gratification is a full body and mind experience and it’s possible that different partners stimulate and gratify different parts of that experience, even different encounters with the same partners. And none of that has to be carried around with you as if it changes anything about who you are or how you should be treated.

And lastly, it’s fine to treat this person and anyone else in a positive and fun way for both of you. It could be that this person expresses themselves femininely and so your instinct is to be a little different, whether that’s with more compassion and tenderness and even flirty, and I would say confusion is probably a very healthy and intelligent, internal reflex to something like this that is new to you.

And finally, anyone that says the Roman Empire collapsed because of all the fucking without making babies is a right cunt. If society collapses because of who any of us are fucking then… it was coming either way.

Edit to make sure someone catches that joke, which may be one of the best I’ve written.

Omggg

I really like the idea of this. I’m going to book mark the link and never click it.

That’s hilarious, that you had to pretend you were dying of cancer for such extravagance to make sense in your life.

Unfortunately yes.

Ignorance is bliss.
