To your second point:

how often I send an email with a bulleted list of issues that need to be addressed and the response only addresses a fraction of them while the rest are ignores.

I typically will reply with just the bulleted points they didn’t address and then keep sending it with less and less bullets until either they answer all points or stop replying… after the third or fourth reminder email. I make sure the previous emails are in the string and never change the title.

I cut my own hair every weekend. I’m in the military, though (and no, I don’t just shave it). I found that I do it more to my liking (and consistently) than the barbers I’ve gone to, it only takes 20 minutes, I don’t have to pay $30, and I can shower immediately after. I use a 6 (3/4 inch) on top, a 3 (3/8 inch) around the curve transitioning to the sides, and then fade down from there, 2 to 1.5 to 1 and finally .5 (1/16 inch) around my ears, side-burns, and most of the back. Keeps everything clean, I always look good, and I spend about $40 every year or two.

Void has style. Void can dance. VOID HAS TEARAWAY PANTS!

Oh, no, don’t. It wasn’t a serious thing, just pointing out the weird 5 to 1, 1 to 5 thing.

Makes sense. Just the:

1: 5 things

2: 4 things

3: 3 things

4: 2 things

5: 1 thing

Throws me off a bit.

It… kind of bothers me the order that is in. Is that on purpose?

Have empathy for the injustices others face. It helps you let go of hate

This is a big one, though I have a more nuanced view.

“That is a fucked up thing and shouldn’t happen to anyone. I couldn’t give two shits about that person in particular because they’re a piece of shit, but what is happening to them is unacceptable.”

That’s how I feel about bad shit happening to horrible people in prison. A serial rapist gets raped in prison? Unacceptable. It shouldn’t be allowed, and everyone responsible should be held to account. However, I lack the necessary empathy to feel for that serial rapist. I try, but there’s a lot of people out there suffering more who did nothing or less that I should care about, and I have a limited amount of care. Doesn’t mean I’m okay woth prison rape, though.

I heard muthafucka had, like… thirty goddamn dicks.

I’ve always wondered about this, because not only are they not mutually exclusive, they don’t really fight unless someone really wants to create an issue.

“It turns out the Earth revolves around the Sun, which in turn rotates around a galactic center.”

“But we’ve been teaching that the Earth is the center of the universe. What will we tell people?”

“Well, we all thought it was the center, but it turns out it wasn’t. Does anything in your religion specifically say we’re the center?”

“No…”

“Then I guess we all found out together. Also, why are you even teaching stuff like that? The movement of celestial bodies seems a weird topic to be discussing in church.”

True art.

Family, Occupation, Relentless existential crisis, Dreams.

That angry/relieved/happy mix would make for an interesting evening for me. I’d eat the lot and feel I deserved it for how they done me dirty, even if I secretly was relieved not to have to go to a big social event.

There’s a village in Final Fantasy XIV that has that belief. That if a warrior is great enough, they are reborn into the next child born, and that child is raised with the understanding that that is who they are and continue to be. Gender is fairly meaningless to them, too.

I still use PCMCIAs at my job. Had to order a reader. It has been… challenging (particularly getting permissions to connect it to the system, but even finding them is not super easy).

I mean… a tiny bit killed Hercules…

The hydra’s blood is incredibly poisonous, though. Hope the… goblins? Orcs?.. figured that one out.

But that one makes me sad.

I’m pretty burnt out on bubbles. The message is… not exactly something I agree with, but is an interesting take I find worth consideration (good to challenge your biases, right?).

But the memes are such low-quality it’s like I’m viewing “The Right Can’t Meme” but from the Tankie side. They aren’t funny. They aren’t thought-provoking. They’re just cringe-inducing. And I’m not really into that vicarious embarassment type of comedy.

I’m at “iPad and enormous curved monitor connected to a laptop” so I guess I average out to upper-middle management. Which is shockingly accurate.
