Honestly, one of the few things I'll judge someone for sexually is having sex with people they don't like. Liking the person you are fucking -- being interested enough in them as a person -- is the best available way to everyone to have had a good time. And it is safer all around.

That is a very strange thing to say about David Drake. One of these things is very much not like the other.

Yeah, that'll happen. My advice is disruptive camo. Carry something (a pacifier, the novels of David Foster Wallace, a stuffie) with you at all times that will show you are not mature enough to be trusted with responsibility to even the meanest observer.

Definitely. Privatizing our justice system will work out great this time.

I feel like caffeine is the one thing you are pretty much always allowed in an interview? Certainly tea and coffee. Maybe not a 64 oz big gulp. But maybe even that.

One thing that is pops out to me is that way of talking about the shotgun? Also a hallucination; that is a video game discussion of how the weapon will perform being recycled into advice on how to be a school shooter. Yay.

I just attempted to explain Aella to a person. It did not go well. I may require some primer.

Are we ever getting a sequel to into the black? Despite my feelings on stealth in space, i love a good hunt for red october riff and it very much felt like a sequel was being set up

Liar. Lied about said, lied about my response, got it and then you tried to imagine what it is like not to be a vacuous moral and ethical void and you lied about that, too.

deathandgravity.bsky.social @deathandgravity.bsky.social · 14/09/2026
Is that how younare soothing yourself, at discovering the idea that someone will sacrifice for you when you can only imagine taking care of yourself? Telling me that I am the one who is uncomfortable?

It isn’t even a hard call, for me. But then, I, unlike you, was at some point taught that other people are as important as i am and I don’t stop believing that just because a politician refuses to manage my emotions for me. You spoiled, selfish, deciteful child.

deathandgravity.bsky.social @deathandgravity.bsky.social · 14/09/2026
Hey, you don’t have to lie about what i said, or what you said. You are also allowed to learn reading comprehension. But to respond to your bad faith if one said they would kill me personally, and one said they would kill all trans people (so not me), gotta choose the “kill D&G” option.

What are the units? Should I be really impressed (hrs) or entirely terrified (minutes)?

I think it is that. When I stumble on him, I think "bright guy" but he never pops to my attention for saying something smart, but for being really stupid in that gen-x smart guy way I have always hated so much.

I feel like Duss is one of those guys who I feel like I am supposed to take seriously and yet every time he comes to my attention it is for saying something really stupid.

The dumbest thing about it is that the lanyard is for the badge access card. So they are complaining that people have keys.

Truly, you have not really lived until you have turned off cash machines for much of the western US by cleaning up an EIGRP secondary. (I did catch it and fix it, which is why you never heard of the great ATM outage of 2002, but it was an exciting 5 minutes)

Friend, I once attempted to open a 1.3gb syslog file in notepad instead of ++ as intended (which might have gone slightly better). That poor laptop never recovered.

Which is what makes them more dangerous, to my mind. An elephant is more of a threat if it decides to kill you, but a hippo that has seen you has already decided to watch you die.

deathandgravity.bsky.social @deathandgravity.bsky.social · 08/09/2026
The only time elephants aren’t the most dangerous animal in the water is if you are somewhere hippos live. Then it is hippos.

Obviously, this can't work for everyone. But it isn't great that most of the replies to this will explain how it is bad advice, can't work for everyone... endless special pleading.

If you do this, and if you aren't natively an asshole (and if you genuinely like women/men/whoever), you will wake up one morning to discover, to your bafflement, that it suddenly seems like you are getting laid all the time.

Yeah. My #1 piece of advice for young men struggling to date is: go to a bar. Sit at the bar. Talk to the people who come up to the bar, be friendly, and PRACTICE being personable. It is a skill. It can be learned.

For full on, crazy fucker renegade, I have slowly come to be team Meer. But for anything else, especially mixed runs, Hale just runs away with it, in terms of quality.

I, at 24, was briefly a BofA VP. I had no supervisory authority, but I was a well enough paid network engineer that I banded into the salary range where they would give that title in lieu of a raise. It just isn’t a meaningful title there; everyone on that desk was an avp when i left.

Look, did USAID ever make this kids parents angry? No? Then how can you possibly say it was good if MOM and DAD think it is good huh, fucko? Stupid sellout. You would know better if you’d ever read “the bedtime conspiracy: how capitalism makes your mom a fucking bitch”

deathandgravity.bsky.social @deathandgravity.bsky.social · 29/08/2026
Or child abuse. Abusive parents (not exclusively fathers; this didn't happen to me but my mother was VERY concerned with my masculinity) will often make children, especially sons, do fucked up shit to animals/pets/livestock for sundry mostly bullshit reasons. Happened to several acquaintances.

Forced bestiality is rare, or so I choose to believe. Although in rural Oregon in the 90s, I heard more than one kid be threatened with it by a farm father; I had a really rough childhood, but not the roughest. Forced animal abuse, though? Super common.

I'm genuinely baffled here; I haven't changed a diaper since my youngest brother, but as I recall they (disposable or not) are a single use item. Are people closing back up soiled diapers? I genuinely don't think I understand the complaint.

Honestly, I have a certain affection for how into pregnant women Clancy was and how much he clearly though "this is just how men are." There is something almost wholesome about it, at least as it comes through 80s techno-thrillers

Bad contacts, probably tarnish. It might, depending on the design, be possible to pull the card and polish the contacts on both sides, but it probably won't help a ton, or for very long.

I don't do that of course; as a grown man I dance around my apartment marveling that the woman who just spent the night with me and jumped me in the morning might, possibly, maybe be into me. Cause I'm an adult.

One thing I've noticed about being middle-aged is that it is like being 22 in this way: I am always desperate to tell people when I discover I can (still) have good sex with someone I like.

Nothing surprises me anymore. I once saw a van for a computer security company call Skynet Solutions in the parking lot of a Microcenter in Chicago.

An alarming number of ex-Catholics have a fetish for various forms of corrupt communion; and non-sexually a lot of us have a kind of childish twist for doing sacrilege around it.
