@artfulreggie Yeah I see your point. Aware in the sense that they know something nebulously "bad" happens to other people and not being aware it will impact them because they're not exceptional.

I don't know if it is so much the zero-sum aspect so much as believing they are obviously the "winners"

@artfulreggie It really does feel that way at times. Like a litmus test of how aware a person is about things.

and dont even get me started on the freezes and how THAT is framed.

@artfulreggie @pendragon I am still surprised this is a thing that needs to be said. I assumed there had to be like a dozen really smarmy think pieces about it and yet....

@pendragon wafffffff

@artfulreggie Oh yeah the conservative weirdo stornghold of New Mexico. The power of local cultural pervasiveness combined with *gestures*

that is a shame but yeah I don't know them.

@artfulreggie yeah perhaps it is better not to know at the same time curiosity has its influence.

sorry you had such a negative experience with this rediscovery though. Was this an NM fur? now I am curious if I knew them.

@artfulreggie Oh wasn't an NM fur.

yeah I did ask people who might have been mutuals but this was a while ago in my furry life and my connections have changed

I started reading a book and realized the author and I wouldn't agree on ANYTHING. That can be fine, you can't agree with everyone but I realized the core of their humor and this major character was just going to rub me the wrong way when they parked their time machine in a handicap parking space and said it was "appropriate" as the space was nearly always empty.

mmmmm nope. No interest in spending time with this major character

@AdalwinAmillion So.... Wayne Enterprises versus Lexcorp and meanwhile Harley Quin is tossing bottle rockets willynilly?

I spent far too much time trying to find the threads of connection. I did eventually confirm his furry name, offline name, and his old email but after that... it ran dry

Did I spend too much time? yeah but sometimes old memories are like that.

@cooner I enjoyed the cartoon and its very cool you had a hand in it. Even better Adams didn't have much of a part.

@kyellgold taste the fox-i-fication

@heavyrocksboar aw dang nabbit
