Today on "Pillow or Bear Trap"...

Xariphon ,

More money going to the steadily employed and no missed payments crew, i.e. those who need relief the least.

Xariphon ,

For me it's not about the coffee. I grew up on Tasters Choice.

I won't drink Nestle instant because Nestle is up there goddamn eyeballs in slave labor and they're probably one of the worst corporations in the world. I try everything I can not to buy their products.

Xariphon ,

I know. I was commenting on their quality in that part. Sorry to be unclear.

Xariphon ,

I'm out of the loop; what happened??

Xariphon ,

I used to do Renaissance Faires.

"Wild Mountain Thyme" was the song the entire cast sang together at the end of each day, my first year.

It hits me like a truck every time.

Xariphon ,

Christians can't admit they're doing magic.

Xariphon ,

Magnus did nothing wrong and Russ has fleas.

Xariphon ,

The Horus Heresy. When you see what the Emperor's vision actually was, and really get to compare it to the galaxy they got, it's just... so much worse. And the galaxy is pretty goddamn bad to begin with. But you know there's a special place at the very bottom of hell for Erebus.

Xariphon ,

All 13 of Erebus's Black Crusades aren't better. >..>

Xariphon ,

Is she gay or European?

Xariphon ,

On the one hand, sure I guess?

But see also, "Y, the Last Man" for why being literally the last man on earth isn't all it's cracked up to be, or Five from "The Umbrella Academy" for an object lesson in why being alone for decades in a post-apocalyptic hellscape isn't the best thing for your mental health.

Xariphon ,

"Fuck you, got mine" is pretty much a cornerstone of their platform...

Xariphon ,

And of course she goes about it in the most adorable way possible.

Xariphon ,

Anyone enrolled in the SAVE Plan who took out less than $12,000 in initial loans and has been paying them down for the past 10 years or more will have them forgiven.

It always pisses me off when I see qualifications like this. You know who needs forgiveness? People who got suckered into a lot of fucking debt. You know who needs forgiveness? People who have missed a lot of fucking payments.

Qualifications like this seem designed to make sure relief goes directly to those who need it least every time.

Xariphon ,

Republicans doing the exact opposite of the right thing, as usual.

Xariphon ,

Right? I'm sitting here like "this has to be satire... right? But it's just absurd enough not to be..."

Xariphon ,

I used to be able to get a sausage at the one in Hackensack. Haven't been there in ages though so who knows now.

Xariphon ,

Buzz buzz mf'er.

Xariphon ,

Another way to exclude young people from society.

Xariphon ,

As an activist, this is funny to me. This is word for word one of the arguments people make against lowering the voting age.

But you remind them that old people elected Reagan and Trump and all of a sudden ThAtS dIfFeRenT.

Xariphon ,

I've heard it said, and I really believe it is true, that if you assume everything awful in the world is Reagan's fault you'll be right significantly more often than you are wrong.

Xariphon ,

I've always thought the name Buchanan sounded... Not cool per se but... Atmospheric? Like it could only belong to one of those old-money families up to their eyeballs in secret societies and mystery.

Xariphon ,

I barely remember that show. Was that his character's name?

Xariphon ,

I read Twilight as a pre publication galley.

Spent three quarters of the book waiting for it to be about something and just gave up.

I don't care that it was written by a woman. I care that it's a fucking awful book with a vapid plot and the rest of the series glorifies abusive relationships like it's Fifty Shades for teens.

Go read Ursula LeGuin or Holly Black instead.

Xariphon ,

Isn't this ultimately just national healthcare with a lot of unnecessary extra steps?

Oh but it's okay because there's a for-profit corporation involved...

Xariphon ,

Why the hell would somebody who built her entire early career on persecuting truants build public confidence?

If the alternative wasn't Spray-Tan Hitler, I would never have voted to put her one heart attack from the Oval Office.

Xariphon ,

It is when it means forcing young people into overcrowded and failing schools...

Ugh. I don't want to get re-mad over this.

Short version: School is bad for you, bad school doubly so, and she's a proud enforcer of a cruel and broken system.

Xariphon ,

It's so little and round. This birb has gone full borb.

Xariphon ,

I too love deadly predators in convenient pocket size.

Xariphon ,

All four of my land cats ignore our attempts to speak their language.

Xariphon ,

Sky cats. Owls. I'm referencing, ignore me.

Xariphon ,

I remember reading about a military guy, Staff Sergeant Max Fightmaster. I have no idea what he actually does (or did; guy's probably retired by now) but if he hasn't at least spent some time teaching martial arts he's doing it wrong.

Edit: apparently he's a computer technician and that's even better somehow.

Xariphon ,

You're also not "honoring your heritage" because the Confederacy was a three-year blip, not an era. Or a culture. Except insofar as being a collective of racist assholes is a culture.

Xariphon ,

This is why you don't call the fucking cops. ACAB

Xariphon ,

They failed the last one and they've only gotten worse since, so...

Xariphon ,

Pharma Bro. Martin something? Even if I didn't know he was a dogshit human being, he has a punchable face.

Xariphon ,

Nah.

I legit loved him in Barbie. Not even kidding. Like, the guy has made an entire career out of playing the forgettable Everyman, and he just lampshaded the fuck out of it. Low key hilarious.

Xariphon ,

My wife and I do this, mostly because we're both often doing stuff in the house, but also want to send each other cat pictures, which don't demand an immediate response.

Xariphon ,

If she hates it then maybe stop?

Xariphon ,

Mighty predator.

Convenient pocket size.

Xariphon ,

They did it in Dr. Stone.

Xariphon ,

Kangaroos don't but platypus do.

Xariphon ,

4e was D&D for people who would rather be playing WoW.

5e is a watered-down anemic shadow of 3.5.

Xariphon ,

You say simplified, I say dumbed down.

But yeah 4e didn't say an especially high bar.
