Shakespeare was doing his era's equivalent of "cromulent chumpfuckery" but we consider him a hero.

Psi male -- they're usually empaths.

A paste of just baking soda and water also makes for a good abrasive to scrub tough caked in soap scum from your shower, I find. It takes kind of a lot of baking soda to do a whole shower but it works really well, like diatomacious earth kind of.

I wonder if there's another option for it that works as well.

Bookshop dot org may be an annoying site to use, I don't know. Amazon is also a spammy and junky website that sucks to use though.

I don't know who owns bookshop dot org but I do know Jeff Bezos is like, at best one step above being a modern slaver and Amazon is definitively complicit in genocide against Palestinians.

So like, yeah there's no ethical consumption under capitalism, I'm not saying bookshop dot org isn't probably also doing son shit behind the scenes, don't know much about them, but Amazon is absolutely one of the most malign forces currently extant on this planet.

It does have a very "check your kids' candy to make sure no one put razors or fentanyl in it" vibe to me. A very scary thing everyone is told to look for but no one has actually seen.

That said I have seen news reports about lawn signs with razors

i rewrote this post in rust on my arch linux computer

I need to get me some chicken tikka masala i love that stuff and you always posting about it makes me want it. I might get some for dinner, we'll see.

I'm a boiling cauldron of white hot rage at all times about all things but not you in particular, for what that's worth.

This can actually be really dangerous, I hope you're not actually doing it

I'm sorry. I'll do better. To punish myself I'll develop a physical dependence on benzos and then quit them cold turkey

"I once put myself in SSRI withdrawal for fun" will be a good office ice breaker topic later on

It's Friday

In a way it's almost utopian. Everyone sees that their ideas are not working, they see the main character show up with better ideas, and immediately implement all his ideas when it's clear they'll fix the problems.

Yeah, I 100% get why the trans person in this scenario is defending their right to shit in peace. What I'm more talking about is the fact that opponents of trans people have succeeded in diverting the entire thing into that, and frustrated by the fact that we haven't been able to break out of it.

This is a post about metanarratives, not the actual physical safety of trans people which of course the most important thing. I didn't mention it because I felt it went without saying. Idk.

no criticism of me has ever been valid. I'm right

this is quite possibly the most incredible thing i've seen in decades. Bravo!

I don't remember if the original movie was better but I do remember there was a spate of remakes of 80s action movies that completely missed the mark in this way. Like the 80s RoboCop is extremely clear that the corporation making the RoboCops is completely evil, and the merger of corporate power and the state is horrifically dangerous, and being a cop takes away your humanity and makes you a machine for the evil side.

Then they remade it and it was just a movie about a cool cop who's a robot and he shoots the bad guys.
