That's really an effective contraceptive still.

Dude pulls out a Trump condom he's not getting laid.

That's the joke

You made me think about this longer than I'd care to admit, and I've come to the conclusion that yes, but.

You'd lose the ability to create certain styles. Sometimes you need to bunch up fabric on one side of a stitch, and it's only secured by the stitch itself. Sometimes you need sharp corners that require a seam. Think about your pockets. Without some clever joinery, your pockets are just kinda poofs.

Sometimes you need to build up material to add some strength and just sticking more fibers together won't last as long.

If every individual thread forms a perfect, closed loop and is intertwined with all the others, that works. But you kind of dress everyone in sweaters only.

It's not lack of housing. There are 93,000 vacant homes in Los Angeles alone. That's enough to house every homeless person in the city in their own home, with 20,000 to spare.

It's housing as an investment.

No.

More homeless youth coming right up tho.

When men were men, women were property, black people were property, Irish people were black people, and we had just curb stomped our first country full of brown people.

A man could just pick up and go to a new town and call himself a doctor, sell some random bullshit to whoever, and leave before the consequences could catch up to him.

My father was extremely intelligent. Usually one of the smartest people in the room. He predicted Dick Cheney's imminent demise shortly after he'd had some rather dramatic heart surgery. "That's one of the last things they do." He said. "You spend a year to 18 months clinging to life before your body just gives up."

He would go on to retire, enjoy several years of retirement, come down with an extremely rare progressive disease, go through enough testing to get successfully diagnosed, go through treatment, and unfortunately pass away.

He could have done all that twice since Dick Cheney got that fucking heart surgery. My dad was a good, if flawed man, and that genocidal mother fucker is the one still drawing breath.

If God is real, he is not good.

If he is good, he is not real.

That and alien venereal diseases but that's mostly a Riker problem. Honestly that's probably why she dismissed him so fast. She's probably thinking this dude's gonna tell me about another fucking wart if he stays in here one more second and if I give him anything now it might activate whatever space aids bullshit he's got again and he'll end up flying the Enterprise in to a supernova during the night shift because this particular virus spreads like a mushroom. Exploding pores all over the galaxy.

I mean it may be but I know a guy who considers himself a militant atheist and proudly parrots all of those points. He's been screeching about the evil Democrats on Facebook for months. Absolutely insufferable.

No no if you press F you'll feed them!

Jesus it's robotics it's not a video game.

Doubt is M00.

 

I went to high school with this guy. We were never really close friends though he was perpetually in the one group of people I kept in touch with after high school.

A few years ago we had a falling out and I never really looked back. I never really liked the guy, sometimes I fuckin hated him. Though the group kinda fell apart after that and I lost contact with someone I actually did care about. Otherwise, getting him out of my life really wasn't a negative.

Regardless, he responded to a Facebook post and curiosity got the better of me.

In the past, he'd expressed regret in voting for Trump, he wasn't a Democrat and voted third party in 2020. I assumed he'd check out of this election and I'd see what he was up to.

Strangers, this man has completely lost his fucking mind. His Facebook is flooded with reposted tiktoks admonishing the current administration and screeching about the moral imperative of getting trump back in to office. One after another after another, 5 to 7 of these things a day. Continuing debates he's had with somebody by tagging them, and notably getting no response. More than once he's brought up a trump policy, blamed it on Kamala Harris, and howled about how evil the Democrats are.

In the past any attempt at rational discussion would devolve to fanatic ravings, and now it seems that all he's doing. Constantly screaming in to the void about some perceived Boogeyman.

I haven't lost anything, as I said getting out of each other's lives was a good thing for me. This guy used a hard R during the protests and would go to safe spaces online to torment the people there for fun. He's literally the type of person Facebook has screening questions for.

But Jesus, he's like a fucking caricature. There's no engaging with that type of person, no bringing them back. He's just lost.

This is an abrasive disk, rotating at 1500 rpm. When I shine my flashlight at it, it carries the glow with it, approximately halfway around the disk. What am I seeing happen here?

 

But they sent my area to a different building.

I'm at a place I don't know, surrounded by people I've never met, and as it happens food I can't eat.

I'm not allowed to leave.

I'm supposed to feel appreciated.

 

It's the holidays, at my job I will be attending at a minimum 3 holiday meals on different days. They send around these little slips and we all vote on what to have.

There's never anything available that I'll actually be able to eat.

My diet, while not strictly keto, is at my doctor's recommendation. I've successfully eliminated any danger I faced due to rising blood sugar, and the jury is still out on carbs re-entering my diet in any significant capacity.

I am fully aware of how difficult it can be to prepare food without carbs. Especially to someone who's never done it.

At every opportunity I make it clear that I am perfectly happy, and I'm fact would prefer to simply feed myself. I get that they're trying to show appreciation, but I would appreciate knowing exactly what's in my food, rather than having to trust that everyone in the chain of people involved getting me a low carb meal knew exactly what that meant.

I like my meals, I like how healthy I have become. I honestly have never really enjoyed the food they get anyway. Just let me do my thing goddamnit

I'm 75% of the way through the last book in the series. I've read all of the novellas. What would you recommend next?

Three only other series I can think of that's similar is the Three Body series from Cixin Liu.
