Tried to talk to my Dad yesterday about my troubles.

He's in Denial about reality like most boomers though, and suggested I design and bring my own product to market if I'm so smart.

He won't listen when I tell him what happened over the last 40 years because he says he Lived it.

Like, No, Dude, you smoked weed and watched Football and didn't like thinking about Politics in those 40 years.

Don't tell me I'm wrong just because it doesn't fit your worldview, dude.

Tired: Space Marine GeneSeed.

Wired: Magic Space Testosterone

Silly fantasy concept 

The Invisible Hands, a reclusive order of economist-monks

Their coins are stamped with blessings that gain power as they circulate, so it is their sacred duty to encourage as much commerce as possible

(And counterfeiting is the highest sacrilege)

Whenever asked about their motives, they say "We respond rationally to incentives"

The failure of the Efficient Market Hypothesis is their Problem of Evil

A psychiatrist, dealing with a man who fears he is being followed by a large and terrible monster, will endeavour to convince him that monsters don't exist. Granny Weatherwax would simply give him a chair to stand on and a very heavy stick.

Everyone is posting gender feels. The only major gender feel I'm getting lately is how much my tits hurt from raking leaves.

The curse of my gender weirdness is that Everything is hetero.
Girl? Hetero.
Boy? Het.
Enby? Nope, totally different vector trajectory and gender velocity.

Prettymuch all of the time. And then even if they're the same Gender, they might be out of phase with the waveform I'm running on.

So I've taken time to figure out my friends Preferred genders, and I'll just be That for them. Easier that way.

Where I come from, we always had a term for "White boomers who sold their souls to a corpocratic state and adopted regressive politics and allowed america to slide into a post-industrial hellscape"

Yuppies. Throw that at your next "OK Boomer" moment. "Fukkin Yuppie". They remember that word.

Pro tip: To avoid a slide back into Yuppiedom, continue to disavow Corporate consumerism after times get Better, and re-invest in lifting others out of abject poverty.

political education means constantly reminding folks that bourgeois does not mean rich. A surgeon may be quite wealthy, but they're not a member of the bourgeoisie, but rather an extremely skilled worker. They're paid a wage for their work, same as a fast food employee, albeit the surgeon is paid an order of magnitude more.

The bourgeoisie aren't paid to work. They're paid to own. They're the ones who reap the benefit of other's skills and pay them back a fraction of what they're worth.

I tried to find a Video of her Enbyness, but all I can find is guides on how she's OP if she gives in to her fire magic addiction. :/

And yeah, She/Her pronouns, but is a Battle Wizard. It's complicated.

I'm still feeling Way Too Seen by Vermintide 2.
Tight Left 4 Skaven type game, fun co-op, all that.

But one of the playable characters is Painfully Enby, in a Subtle, accurate, clever way.

Like, since When is Games Workshop saying Trans Rights? Now my screen is covered in were-rat blood AND gender.

A+ will recommend, but the Elf is annoying as Sin. Do not play the Elf.
