Gross (CW: Slurs)
@literorrery With Ranty shouting in my ear, I turned and said, "hey, I get you're upset, but insulting people won't help." You know, show a little empathy, try to defend the kid that made an innocent mistake.
I got three words in before Ranty stuck their boot in my face and screamed "get away faggot" at me. Their voice literally went into a shriek. They called another person on the bus the n-word, then proceeded to call every other transit rider's mother a bitch.

@literorrery I sit at the back of the bus because the sideways seats give me more legroom. Someone at the back of the bus got set off when somebody else accidentally brushed them with a bag. The person who got set off -- we shall dub them Ranty -- started posturing and attacking this kid for invading their space, and when the kid didn't immediately cower and leave Ranty started to insult the kid as well.

My stomach hurts. I just want to stay home and sit in one spot and try not to throw up.
But if all I'm going to do is sit in one spot and try not to throw up, I might as well do that at work. And if I throw up at work, it's a good justification to go home early.
So here I am on the bus, trying not to not to throw up. So of course shit on the bus goes to hell.
Is your child texting about genies?
@Phorm Have you seen Jinkx Monsoon's "Cartoons and Vodka" video?
There's an animated crystal gem fusion with a bottle in it.

@kobold I can't even do butter chicken; the tomato is what ails me. Sympathy and solidarity.

@adeptomega *hugs always accepted happily*
I'll be okay. Emotionally better, still physically recovering. At least the nausea is gone, it seems.

@kobold There's "discomfort," which is, like, pain-2 and bloat. Thankfully, that's about it. I just have to admit Indian delivery is too much of a crapshoot for me to risk any more. xvx

In this kind of world, the real dissidents would be the ones whose names we didn’t know, the ones who were trying to dredge up the truths nobody wanted to listen to, rather than the ppl whose faces&opinions were in the newspapers. The dangerous ideas would be the ones that weren’t spoken from the White House&on cable news, bc they indicted those institutions rather than benefiting them.

Tonight was Date Night with one of my pets. It didn't go as planned. The Indian I'd ordered, chosen specifically to be easy on my stomach, still had enough tomato paste or potato starch to violently set off my nightshade sensitivity. Instead of all the things I'd hoped we'd get to do together, we ended up cuddling on the couch while I sipped weak coffee and tried to relax.
Still good company. Not the night I wanted to have. Apologies again, pet, and thank you.
@frameacloud I'm such an aggressive naturist in my native environs that I've kind of forgotten to think of nudity as anything lewd.
@cat ... but... but... but my blocky slabby monolith!
@mirzaba@cybre.space @Nerdcoresteve Much of what we call "knowledge" is as much codified tradition as it is proven fact within the frame of scientific inquiry. Meanwhile, much of what we call experiential learning is discounted compared to experimental learning, especially when it contradicts the dominant metanarratives, even though it's as or more important in shaping how people perceive the world, which in turn changes how people act within it.
@mirzaba@cybre.space @Nerdcoresteve As someone who identified as a postmodernist, I would say that we aren't just throwing our talons in the air and declaring knowledge impossible. Rather, we're trying to urge everyone who relies on a model of understanding to interact with the universe both to remember that it is a model, not gnosis of the universe, and that the model encodes some number of assumptions. Those assumptions are as open to inquiry and critique as anything else.
@PaulFerence People would put the text in the content earning and an expletive in the body text.
So, I've had it pointed out to me that kief, having never been passed through a solvent process, is a poor analogue of instant coffee.
Distillate is a much better fit.

@Siphonay ... enh? I have personal reasons for not wanting to use the site but the complicated web of interpersonal bullshit that drives Furry Drama could power a Dyson Sphere.
