  Maybe you don’t lose an inch of penis length, but perhaps you do lose an inch of skin.

  But I agree this is stupid because 99.99% of people are going to think “penis length.”

  This is perhaps the dumbest circumcision awareness sign I’ve seen. And I support the cause.

  I like the light.

  Hah I can believe that.

  I’m not technically synaestehtic but I do have strong associations between numbers and colors, days of the week and colors.

  Saturday has always been blue. Sunday is red. Number 4 is green, 3 is yellow, etc.

  For a time I lived in an Islamic country where Friday is the holy day, not Sunday. So the weekends were Thursday-Friday and not Saturday-Sunday.

  Was weird is that my red/blue associations with Saturday/Sunday shifted onto Thursday/Friday after a long time of living like this. And then I left that place and my associations shifted back.

  The “nineness” of a thing, as you say, is hard to describe.

  I grew up with a Betamax tape player under the family TV. It had a 24 hour clock and it was the timepiece in the house that was in the right spot to tell us all that it was bedtime. As a result I have an intuitive feel for the 24 hour clock. But if you haven’t used it regularly, which most ordinary Americans don’t, then yeah you just have to stop and do the arithmetic before you can connect 21:00 to your sense of time.

  Heh. I’ve had this thought many times, that we used the floppy as a save icon for longer than we even used the damn floppy, and for almost that whole time, there were tons of people coming online who’d never used floppies and would get no help whatsoever from that icon.

  Recently I notice that the bookmark has become the metaphor for “save.” Literally an icon showing the end of a bookmark hanging forward. But is this actually an improvement? Does anyone fucking read books anymore??

  I hate people who consider trees nothing but problems. Such people should be cut down.

  I understand and am very burned out about it all myself. But I will never have the audacity to complain out loud that anyone is ruining my escapism as long as people out there are suffering with no chance of escape. We’re bombing the fuck out of 80 million people right now.

  I’m on great terms with my wife and make my own fucking breakfast. These things may in fact be related.

  Isn’t it almost universal that as long as resources are plentiful, organisms drift toward larger sizes?

  You’re starting to get it. Politics is not just a very boring television channel. It’s power transactions at the highest levels and it affects basically every thing. To even be able to whine about having to pay attention to politics is a great privilege.

  Idaho about that, actually.

  …where we all come from and where we’re all going!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨omg hes just like me⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Okay but you could still do step 1 without revealing anything personal. Tell us: what even is a “reason to exist?”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨omg hes just like me⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Kinda like a one stroke engine. The fuel and the exhaust all just mix.

  It’s gross, but I can’t see any reason this disqualifies it from being on the tree of life.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨omg hes just like me⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Okay, we’re listening. First establish some framework of “reasons to exist” so we understand what that even means, and then tell us yours. Centuries of philosophy haven’t gotten past the first step and you probably won’t either, but I won’t stop you from trying. Okay, go.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Americans be like:⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wish capitalism was allowed to operate in its pure form so that people could truly see what things actually cost. Meat and gasoline and corn syrup are so heavily subsidized it’s ridiculous. The amount of blood and treasure we’ve wasted trying to keep gas prices low is similarly ridiculous.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You're cured!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I understand chiro quack shit the same way I understand crystals and essential oils quack shit. It’s all just quack shit.

  What I don’t understand is why insurance actually pays for chiro, at least sometimes.

  Wow there’s a way to prepare for it? Please share the details. I’m still on “stumble out and get blindsided by it all again.”
