No one knows what to do with amphibians, in a way it is similar to dealing with bisexuals

None of the women I discuss ‘making it’ with want these sorts of pictures.
All of the men do, badly.
Dick pics are for dudes.

God doesn’t actually have anything to do with it, but I hear you and feel a very similar vibe these days especially.

Peyton used the length of hose he normally uses to steal gas for his three-wheeler ATV as an extension to fill the tub on the ground.
Peyton reads well below grade level but he is not stupid.

That’s it. I am going as a gravity well this year.
I will wear plain clothes and go up to the person in my social circle most likely to ‘get it’.
I will hug them, not let go while I explain the idea in their ear. We have to go everywhere together that evening with the explicit purpose of recruiting others in that mission. There is no leader of a gravity well, except the center of mass. Which means things might get goofy.
If I can’t convince anyone to play, I will take that big tiddy goth girl and her friends up on their offer to play xbox.
- Comment on Do boycotts work? 1 week ago:
Unequivocally yes, but not always. You need a coordinated media campaign, a potent symbol, a dedicated core of supporters and the right combo of circumstances.
The Indian Independence movement depended in large part on boycotts. Ghandi’s followers wove their own cloth and wore traditional dhoti, both as a boycott of British cloth and as a public symbol of solidarity.
My favorite was the Salt March, wherein Ghandi used the general unfocused bitchiness around new salt taxes to make a media spectacle and demonstrate that Indians didn’t need British salt. Or anything British at all.
He marched down to the beach over a period of days gathering followers and media attention. Then he stood in the water and made salt in his bare hands using seawater and the bright hot sunshine.
18 years later they won their independence in a relatively bloodless way.
As an example Salt March

I stole your smoothie while you were showing genuine interest in another persons perspective. Classic mistake.

- Comment on How Do The Normal People Survive? 1 week ago:
Don’t feed the bears. I usually fade into the background when my non tech circle brings up a tech issue they are having. I know them well, they have the wherewithal to figure it out.
Why? They have also demonstrated a learned helplessness about tech that is insatiable. It’s better for them and me both to let them flop about until they find the resolve to solve it for themselves. After all, that’s how I became an ‘expert’.

‘Squids’ is a good daily-driver descriptor. I prefer to go straight to ‘organ donors’ usually.

Naw, jk, they are terrible. Those douchebags hucked bottles at us when we walked up to just watch. Buncha wankers.

- Comment on Why can't countries with vast deserts make solar farms to power the world? 3 weeks ago:
How is dirt different from a building in terms of thermal mass? It’s the same setup. Panels can shade buildings just as well as dirt. It’s actually a super complex situation that depends on a huge number of variables.
I’m pushing back because this common trope (solar panels cause heat islands) was part of a whirlwind of anti-solar FUD about a decade ago.
The moronosphere turned some wonky studies that showed some local heating effect (in some situations, not all) into a panic about it causing mega-storms and causing dogs and cats to want to live together.
Since then, actual experts have been working hard to understand the costs and benefits of large installations.
An example:
- Comment on Why can't countries with vast deserts make solar farms to power the world? 3 weeks ago:
So you ignored the fact that it’s not the earth that is getting heated, it’s the panels. So when the sun goes down the thin panels and the air around them cool down quickly, much more quickly than a large mass of hot rocks and dirt.
‘Thermal mass’ is a huge factor here. You ignored the basic finding that buildings with panels on the roof are cheaper to cool just because of the shading effect of the panels.
- Comment on Why can't countries with vast deserts make solar farms to power the world? 3 weeks ago:
How do solar panels create a heat island? They shade the ground beneath them. There have been installations where panels installed on buildings saved money on cooling costs before the panels were even connected, due to the shading from the panels.
Am I missing something?

Ok, I have to back the truck up.
I tie-dyed a t-shirt at an employee ‘appreciation’ event last week in the colora of the flag of Rwanda.
It was fun.

May I ask the significance of that symbol? It is lovely and fun to stare at.
- Comment on music 5 weeks ago:
Yes, a real band. They were really popular among the indie-folk-pop set around the turn of the last century. The bit on parks and rec was just a way to establish April’s character as ‘too cool for all you bitches’.
Pretty good stuff if garage studio music is your jam, but if you haven’t heard them yet, they may sound derivative because they did influence a lot of later stuff in that genre.

Sounds like something a cuckcel would wonder…
