“Yes, all transmissions, this is a data center. You do have a database right?”

Oh yeah the Imperial Beachtroopers with their distinctive Battle Flip-Flops. It’s said they mix the most fearsome mai tais in the galaxy!

He’s so British that he interrupts Lord Vader while he’s in the tub having a nice read! Tea sequence initiated. Biscuits in 10, 9, 8, 7...

“We’re just completely harmless anarchists in a commune, but Sol Guerrera is an extremist!”

Omg he put pomade on his mohawk in an attempt to reference anti establishment youth from the 50s and 80s. A moussehawk! A magnificent Brylhawk!

Oh gah they’re building space Utah. The space LDS can offer Miller salvation! And also jello with stuff floating in it!

@kara okay so I’m listening to nerds nerd out and in this case about chlorine trifluoride. And everything about it is a terrible idea but uh, what I know about valences suggests this shouldn’t be physically possible no? Am I missing something?

There are personality traits that made even angry 20-something-me different, but I honestly think the BIG difference between now and then is internet based.

There's a very human drive to feel supported and heard out in a group, so all you need is a group which supports the worst indoctrination to get someone turning that anger outwards rather than inwards.

And all you need to get *that* group going are a small number of people who honestly think that direction and love the attention.

So I was thinking about this whole incel/distribution of sex stuff again.

High school basically taught me that I wasn't Good Enough to be dating or screwing (too ugly, didn't have enough money, etc), and I did come out with a boatload of resentment and terrible stereotyping mixed in with the crappy self-worth (which in part was suppressing anger rather than risk turning it outwards). (1/2)

Am I imagining things or are most people kinda having a shitty day?

It’s always self loathing o’clock somewhere in the world!

worries etc

I’ve also been thinking the people I know around Seattle are more diverse professionally - sure I’m this pathetic office worker but some of my Seattle friends are also not tech people - and that, too, is reason to move.

I wanna be Jackie O oh oh
