@eredien @anthracite They're not actually that exciting. :) They're just your basic Hawaiian shaved ice with a bit superior ice-grinding method that does admittedly make it nice and fluffy. But it's still just corn syrup and flavoring over ice -- albeit with a lot of neat local flavors like "wedding cake" ("almond"), nectar ("almond"), and orchid creme ("almond").And they're nice in the middle of NOLA's "triple summer" -- this stand, Pandora's, is about halfway between our pad and City Park...
re: uspol; possible crimethink
@Orb2069 That's not what the novel is about, though. *innocent deadpan*
update; cartoonishly violent uspol sentiment
I'm alive.
I am maintaining myself adequately for the most part, even if I have expanded 30 lbs since the last time I posted.
I am extremely tired.
Wake me when the Revolution starts. I mean starts-starts, too, not this Newsweek "Trump approval rating slips another 0.5%" bullshit. I wanna wake up to rivers of oligarch blood in the street.
re: religion, probably highly blasphemous
@Owlor This, THIS is the kind of content I wanted to see on Masto!
Huh. Looks like the guy who owns the abandoned house next door hasn't been paying property taxes on it.
Looks like he hasn't been paying property taxes on any of the half-dozen places he owns around the city, for that matter.
He's only behind about a year for all of them, and the one next door is the vast majority of the owed tax.
I wonder what I could do with this knowledge that would accelerate the process of "fixing it up and actually having some neighbors again instead of a succession of squatters". When I moved here there was a couple who would occasionally greet the dawn with harp music on their porch. It was really nice.
@anthracite No, but if you wanna pull a Meaning of Liff on it, I'd recommend Malmesbury, Telscombe, or perhaps Skegness.
@JulieSqveakaroo @Phorm @PhoenixTril If that's part of "Bob's" plan for the world, dear, it must have been in the apocrypha.
@Phorm @JulieSqveakaroo @PhoenixTril I don't suppose y'all have heard of a Subgenius "theological" concept called the "Bulldada Cycle...?"
@Phorm @anthracite Well, it was the norm there at the best of times. Very often the norm there was "crickets." I don't want to idealize it. It did ultimately leave me very frustrated and sad-- there's a reason I escaped to 12Fold.
re: on mortality
@LexYeen Hey. Yeah, we're not getting any younger. It's been an honor knowing you, and it's been SUPER fun watching you geniefy. Love ya babe, glad we crossed paths. <3
But yeah, I'm a stereotypical Italian-American, this stuff's where we're a Viking. I call my mom twice a week and we rag on each other like brother and sister. She knows how the hell I feel about her. She's a cool lady. She's always respected me and I'm very lucky.
And Peg has to put up with SO much of that sort of mammal shit from me. Hell, I probably tell the cats I love 'em roughly 4-5 times a day. Each.
@Phorm So... yeah.
This is the best photo I could get without disturbing her.
Yes, those are little sports trophies adorning it. I dunno either. This is just my life now.
@Phorm Darlin, seriously, I would *adore* being handed a few more places where I could find ya. <3 But I also get it if you're laying low, this is a good era for that. *hug* I wil definitely ping you if I see any action on the MUCK! <3
@Phorm Yeah, sorry I haven't gotten back to you about hanging out there. Saturday night get-togethers have still been getting scheduled, I guess, but I haven't seen a crowd yet and didn't wanna tag you in until I saw one. *hug* I have been watching and will continue to do so, because I would REALLY love to get something going. Life's just been... distracting lately. (Wait until you see our squatter neighbor's new "cultural monument" )
@JulieSqveakaroo @anthracite Cool, have you ever seen Scud, the Disposable Assassin? He worked on that too!
@anthracite do you know what schrabbing is, dear?
also, what should we do about that test post?
I miss Schrabbing.
