CatoPosting [they/them, he/him]

Me too comrade. For a brief time in college I was living in a large family home by myself as the owners had relocated to be nearer to good doctors, and it was so crushingly lonely. That is until I invited a D&D group who had lost their place to play into my abode which somehow turned into them all hanging out there at all hours of the day, all weekend, and occasionally overnight during the week. I loved the feeling of the house being so full. Unfortunately, no one had taught them to care for communal spaces and so it became a mess by the time the owners were returning. At the time I didn’t have the interpersonal skills to manage that conflict, but I think I’d do better given the chance again.

Just sharing the eventual happy ending to a sad story.

I had a friend trying to get disability for a laundry list of problems that left her unable to do much, and the judge ruled against her with an example job of folding sheets and towels at a hotel. No hotel we could find employed a person to do that job alone, nor am I convinced she or anyone could do that job for 8 hours at a time, but still it was enough to get her case dismissed.

However, it did start a paper trail that helped her win disability several years later in a more progressive district. She now lives in a 6 person polycule, 5 of whom are disabled.

No one is trying to do this. Stop putting words into people’s mouths.

Like the United States?

I have real soft spots for the Ghost from Star Wars Rebels and the Normandy from Mass Effect.

For the Ghost though, I really love its strange shape, the WW2 bomber tail gun, and the attached shuttle. It’s both so typically Star Wars and yet still new.

Just wanted to say: Great post! I’m glad you linked it to me in the other thread, and I essentially agree with all of this.

Are things still sold for a profit in this hypothetical world?

The corrupt ideals of not killing our planet for profit

Mathew 19 23 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”

Also, why bring up tax collectors? Not related at all.

Clearly, America delenda est.

I found Wednesday a fun watch. Not particularly remarkable, but it was definitely decent.

Ahoy, the seas be waiting for ye matey. And a certain “girl” be waiting to give ye your sea legs, I hear she’s quite “fit”.

Tolerance for everything but the intolerant.

LBJ certainly found a way

I played Cyberpunk with a Sandy and Gorilla Arms and even on the hardest difficulty I was killing most enemies in one hit. Though I think early game was pretty rough before I got chromed.

to shut the nazis down.

And are the dems taking meaningful action to do this? From where I’m sitting, I’d say they are not as the fash is only gaining steam under the current administration.

America delenda est.

As if all technological advancements for all of human history didn’t work this way. The of American exceptionalism are truly a vigorous species.
