This hit especially well given that our kitties are afraid of the handheld vac. Interestingly, we just got a robo-vac and they aren’t afraid of it. They watch it and one followed it to observe. I guess they can go to space if space is a robot.

I stopped at the bit about revolutionizing communication online. That revolution happened over a decade ago with the rise of social media. More social media is just more, not new.

I brought it out over the weekend to check out the immersive content that they’ve released since a year ago. I put it back in a drawer after about fifteen minutes. I would take it on vacation for content and for the laptop display feature, but that’s about it.
- Comment on How are Americans so outgoing and extroverted and how can I become the same? 1 week ago:
Talk therapy has been a godsend for me developing emotionally and as a result socially. It takes years, so it’s not a magic pill. But I’m a version of myself that seemed completely unobtainable when I was younger and the changes are very positive. Takes a lot of working on yourself.
- Comment on Am I? 1 week ago:
Struggled with this when I landed a certain job where everyone had degrees and I didn’t. Flipped it because my getting there through self-taught knowledge was more impressive. Fuck everyone, I deserve to be where I am.

You know what? I’m convinced. If the mother of a rapist pedo doesn’t want to forgive student loans, she’s probably right about government policy. In fact, she should run for office. /s

An Oklahoma man accused of sneaking into a teenage girl’s bedroom in the middle of the night in Battlefield and then raping and assaulting her was sentenced on Friday, Jan. 24 to 20 years in prison.
Patrick Shane Sparkman, 41, entered Alford pleas of guilty to the charges of first-degree rape and first-degree sodomy. As part of the plea agreement, prosecutors dropped one count of sodomy, two counts of molestation of a child between the ages of 4 and 17, one count of enticement of a child and one count of third-degree assault.
According to online court records, Greene County Judge Kaiti Greenwade sentenced Sparkman to 10 years for the rape charge and 10 years for the sodomy charge and ordered those sentences be served consecutively.
An Alford plea under Missouri law means a defendant does not admit they committed a crime, but admits prosecuting attorneys have enough evidence against them that a court could reasonably convict them of a crime.
Charging documents described Sparkman as someone who’d been living in Battlefield at the time of the assault on Dec. 31, 2023, but had few ties to the area. He was arrested on March 29, 2024.
According to the probable cause statement used to charge Sparkman, he “claimed he had no memory of the event ever happening. He stated he had been drinking heavily during the day which amounted to what he described was a ‘handle’ of alcohol.”
A handle of liquor is a 1.75 liter bottle of liquor; it has 39 1.5-ounce shots in it.
The victim told police the assault lasted about two hours. She also told police she told Sparkman “no” several times and that Sparkman at one point choked her.
The probable cause statement says the investigating officer contacted the Stillwater, Oklahoma, police department about a “past rape charge” against Sparkman and obtained information that case involved a 10-year-old victim.
Sparkman is from Oklahoma and has no ties to Battlefield, according to court documents.
Sparkman remains in the Greene County Jail awaiting transport to a Missouri Department of Corrections prison.

Never been a thing between me and my parents. I’m sure they want me to be in a happy relationship, but they’ve never pressured me. I assume those that do are influenced by social norms or some such peer pressure.

That’s a ridiculously small amount for decades of false imprisonment.
