Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

Debunked the hell out of some libertarian kid who was trying to claim he was a licensed psychologist... and that this gave him superior insight into the _TV show_ he was arguing about because, quote, "he can see things from a subconscious level."

Found six prior comments that claimed he was 18, and was simultaneously a professional psychic, a banker, and an electrical engineer.

To be fair, I am holding open the possibility he *could* be Iranian Sam Beckett.

@Oneironott You're so gracious! You can say the T-word, it's ok.

not a raccoon</janet>

@Oneironott I understand. Many fish have known what it is to be roasted in the belly of a raccoon, I can tell you!</lou_tully>

@Oneironott The goddess is pleased.

@Leucrotta That depends. At what angle is your fanny?

@Leucrotta Pretty much everything CVB does gives me a big Coyote vibe, especially the Beloved Revolutionary Sweetheart album. Highly recommended. Big nostalgia button for me—"One of These Days" was about the closest Rik and me ever got to "our song."

@Leucrotta This is a personal favorite:

@Leucrotta You know should know that I laughed out loud at that. Touché, yote. <3

On the other hand, I get the IDPD Headquarters ending on Nuclear Throne, so I got that goin' for me, which is nice.

Seriously, I killed SO MANY APOCALYPSE COPS and that did admittedly feel really good.

I was utter garbage at most action games all through my childhood and adolescence, so contending with the knowledge I do kinda completely kick ass at Nuclear Throne and Enter The Gungeon actually is kind of a genuine mood booster. ^___^

FFS I'm even less worried about the political climate today. I'm still absolutely livid about all the shamelessspin and outright lies coming from the GOP, but I also read some polling data today (Morning Consult) that implies Trump is NOT actually doing that great in the swing states after all, and we still have a small lead in impeachment polls.

I'm even feeling a bit of that... what's the opposite of terror, again?

Right, "hope". Yet I STILL can't lose the nervous twitch.

I think I've talked about this here before, but... you know that feeling where you're in a Red Alert state for days, and then the source of your anxiety is resolved, but your console gets stuck and you can't figure out how to get the alarm bells and flashing lights to shut down?

Yeah. Stepdad's stent went well and he's stable. Peg is diagnosed, medicated, and recuperating, all that's left is to sort out her insurance. I'm even caught back up on work.

Still can't settle myself down.

@LexYeen@snouts.online This is why you lightly PLACE angry geese on fascists.

Just ate a satsuma ice from Angelo Brocato's historic gelateria. It was basically like eating Fluttershy: sweet, soft-spoken, subtly tart, and prone to melting at the slightest stimulus.

78° and sunny. Happy December everybody. 🤣

(I'm from Ohio ffs. I did my time...)

@Aradia @mawr This is the most succinct summary I've ever seen of why, despite also loving dogs, I am a "cat person." Jack and Toast are adorable, but Lady Savannah is CORRECT. ;>

Welp. Finally figured out what I wanna be when I grow up.

@Phorm Hmm, you know, this is gonna sound weird after my previous lament, but got anything by Maud?
