One trick is to tell stories that don’t go anywhere. Like the time I caught the ferry to Shelbyville? I needed a new heel for m’shoe. So I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. “Gimme five bees for a quarter,” you’d say. Now where were we? Oh, yeah. The important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn’t have any white onions, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones…

For someone raised in a city, all bears are strange. Whereas, a man has to have some visible deviation from normal behaviour like a red armband or an anime porn hoodie in order to be strange.
Sex workers are real workers, but princesses are sex bourgeoisie.

Look at it this way: you can have a train that has a capacity of 100 people, but it only runs once a day due to the low demand, and only 2 people want to ride it at that time of day…Or you can have 10 pods, which do not require as much railway maintenance, and they can carry the 10 people who actually want to use this railway, completely on demand.
Yeah, a train is better if you want to move ten thousand people a day at peak hour. But this is a cheaper way to move ten people at different times across a day. And it’s a cheaper way of inducing the demand that would justify the more efficient kind of expansion.
There’s not 0 indication of tone through text. I’m autistic and even I know that. Watch this:

Hello Richard. Thank you for joining us today. Is Selena settling in well?

Would you define a long distance relationship that’s lasted for multiple years with daily video chats as online dating?

exocrinous@startrek.websiteto World News@beehaw.org•How Chinese AI turned a Ukrainian YouTuber into a RussianEnglish7·1 year agoIf I were in Olga’s position I’d go create another Natasha account on the same platform and start making videos saying “Hey, Natasha here. I just learned what things are really like in Ukraine and I’m furious about what Russia is doing to innocent civilians. Putin is an evil man. Also my main account has been hacked, please report it so I can get it back.”
If Natasha is Olga then Olga is Natasha. Olga probably has a case to take over the accounts, given they’re videos of her, and start pushing out antiwar propaganda.
Maybe I like mischief too much

Nihilism is the brain child of philosophy
But so is existentialism, absurdism, cynicism, and whatever Nietzsche was on about, which all refute nihilism.
Rye, baguette, naan, sourdough
both want it to be easier for people to raise families on single-income.
Nope, that’s not true. See, if you make it easier to raise families on a single income, immigrants might do it, and conservatives can’t have that. They’d rather cut off their own noses to spite brown people.
exocrinous@startrek.websiteto Technology@beehaw.org•Men Use Fake Livestream Apps With AI Audiences to Hit on WomenEnglish1·1 year agoNarcisstic Personality Disorder is a lifelong disability with no cure. You can be a nice person with NPD. You can be a wise person with NPD. You can even be a healthy person with NPD, because disorders and illnesses are two different things. Having NPD is like having type 1 diabetes. You can live a normal life, but it’s still going to take constant attention to treat, and some stuff is always going to be just a bit harder for you. The myth that people with NPD are abusers is pseudoscientific bigotry. There are plenty of self aware people with NPD and there are plenty of non-abusers with NPD. People with NPD are most likely to be the victims of abuse compared to the abuser, but the kind of people who prey on the disabled to satisfy their own desire for cruelty don’t want you to believe that.

exocrinous@startrek.websiteto Gaming@beehaw.org•A personal argument for a benefit of gamingEnglish5·1 year agoWOW is proof that human beings are biologically programmed to work together to achieve goals. It’s a shame capitalism suppresses this desire in people and forces them to only let it out in games. Imagine if we had a society where people’s work was properly valued, where they could self organise to accomplish great things.
