Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

For the 12th time... could someone please explain boycotts to the right-wingers!?

"So, let's go over this again. You DON'T buy the product then destroy it. You just don't buy it at all."

"But then we never have the thing we want!"

"Yes. That's right. You never have the thing you want. Because you don't want them to have your money."

"Never have the thing? Sounds un-American! Can't we just buy one and trash it or rip off the logo or make them write Merry Christmas on it instead?"

@anthracite Nope, there's just... nothing. No past whatsoever, beyond what's come up since loading.

@mawr *imagines a tiny wind-up plush mawr with her arms flailing and whirring* <3

@DialMforMara @Canageek@cybre.space @anthracite My pay standards are probably pretty low, so I'll probably still give it a look. :D Thanks for the information!

@anthracite Fuckin' weird.

Shot in the dark here:

I remember someone in the community mentioning something about a year back about work-from-home jobs helping edit (NOT write) students' essays.

Was that any of you, was it any good, are they still going, and do you still have their contact information?

If anyone has a lead on any other decent work-at-home job, I'd be grateful for those, too! My HERE job is still quite stable, I'd just love to put in a few more hours and start helping @anthracite with rent. ^_^;

Is anybody else consistently getting a blank personal timeline, or one that only has posts from your last login? I'm wondering if I'm not having some kind of funky issue with settings relative to some update or something...

@mmsword Definitely, we'll talk when I get back from Ohio! <3

Random thought: I think I really need to just pick a night, rustle a group of friends together somehow or another, and watch something really shamelessly cute and sentimental.

Peg has a hell of a lot to offer as a partner, but mush is not really her forte. :)

@Momentrabbit Tell it to Queen Jadis. O;>

@Thaminga Far as I'm concerned, that whole concept was Pauli's greatest gift to humanity.

Can't get something painful and sentimental out of my head today. Otherwise, I live with a silly dragon lady, I'm making ends meet, I'm increasingly excited for my NOLA adventure, and things are pretty good.

Also, ngl, a little verklempt that Adventure Time is ending today.

@kauko Aww, heck. Hope things turn out okay for you. *hug*

@kauko (And you have my sympathies if something terrible is happening on a smaller scale, too. <3 I'm just a little mad at the universe at large today, I guess. It feels like all the little terribles keep deriving from the big terribles.)

@kauko Thermodynamically speaking? No. Believe me, this has caused me no small amount of consternation too. Three of the most fundamental physical laws break down to "you can't win, you can't break even, you can't even leave the table." ;(

(standard disclaimer: it sure as hell wasn't any of you people -- i had to go pretty far afield on masto to find this specimen)

There's sort of a nightmarish beauty in reading an argument that's immune to rebuttal due to sheer syntactical incoherency. Not just "incoherent" in the base sense of "makes no moral sense in my world," but literally just so poorly written you can not actually figure out what they're trying to say, let alone debate it.

It takes a certain... anti-skill to craft such things. A truly fine example can be marvelous in its craft, much the same as the aposematic markings on a toxic animal.

Okay, that maudlin Joanna Newsom track and the Amazing Adventures of Gumball track based on it (EXTREME HAZARD and maybe also problematic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjlJLqofRx4 ) are still stuck in my head.

Time to pour myself a tall glass of Earworm Juice: Daft Punk ft. Strong Bad alternating with Kyary Pamyu Pamyu until everything between my ears is DEAD AND FLUSHED.

Drop a train on 'em, Strong Bad.
