@fluxom_alt I'm as surprised as anyone, I hadn't expected to have weird rasputin powers.
Transguys, too.
re: i'm just being lewd and crass
@fluxom_alt I can seduce women while singing "Pirate King" like Tim Curry, or suck a girl off in thirty seconds but not both at the same time.
re: Bimbo?
@haybuck if you can trance out in hypno sessions, the rest is easy. Just gotta call someone Else in to do the Body thing while you stay tranced out all day
re: Bimbo?
@haybuck In my case, it's as easy as checking out and letting Yaori and the Goodra run the show for a day.
Of course this requires A: Having a spirit who resides in your cerebellum and who knows how to do your job on any given day.
B: Being comfortable enough with willing ego "death" to recede into the mental background
and C: having the sorta job that can be Done by a cheerful pokemon wearing a human suit.
It doesn't Require Plurality, but it can help a lot.
When times were Good, I fretted about Materialism.
Rejoice! the very poverty we bemoan saves us from the vapidity of our Parents decadent generation.
That being said, most of us would spend the cash on Food, medicine, and donations to our social circles at this point. It sucks.
Long term? I think it might be what Cures our sociopathic society.
re: Bimbo?
@haybuck Just shift your consciousness to another part of your brain and cut power to 20%, and let the other parts do the job thing all day.

Government, last month: It is your PATRIOTIC DUTY to Go To The Pub and we're giving you Government Approved Discounts on Going To The Pub and Going To The Pub isn't affected by bans on visiting other households you should totally Go To The Pub
Government, now: What the fuck were you thinking? Why did you Go To The Pub now we have to shut the pubs again this is all your fault you fools.
Thoughts on peoples' self-defined politics, especially self-identified centrists
One thing Bob Altemeyer wrote about in The Authoritarians (link: https://www.theauthoritarians.org/) was that people who scored moderately to low on the "right-wing authoritarian" (RWA) scale, when asked how they'd prefer to scale, had a preference to be low. But people high on the scale said they'd prefer to score in the middle.
Altemeyer talks about how that's because a driving force of high-RWA people is to be average, a regular person.
I think about this a lot, especially because it seems a lot of self-described centrists tend to hold a lot of right-wing views.
@Felthry I'll pull it, my apologies
@Felthry Was a commentary on our President re-the covid thing
@kistaro Sorry, forgot that one was animated
Southern Mass's local machine healer and part time witchdoctor.
Tiny motorcycles, magic potions, machine tools, progressive rock, trance states, and hand sharpened drill bits. Oh, and I read Tarot. Probably 18+ just to be sure.
