Christopher @selectstarman.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Yeah if you're going to killed by the State, a gun is a good symbol of that. Quick and honest. 100
Christopher @selectstarman.bsky.social · 30/09/2026The one "parental estrangement" in my inlaws involves parents who are beginning stage Alzheimer's, a kid who is a high-functioning drunk, and just a fuckton of bad relationship management skills. The inciting incident was using the f-bomb on that sacred space, a golf course. 000
Christopher @selectstarman.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Would last until the 2030 census when Blue state NIMBYs will be handing a bunch of votes away 011
Christopher @selectstarman.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Yes pet breeding is so atrociously bad. It's all people who are either trying to breed a pit-fighting monster or eugenics enthusiasts who think the more inbred, the better. When most people need a chill good boy who is healthy, and doesn't shed. 161
Christopher @selectstarman.bsky.social · 28/09/2026It was exactly like this in 2016 when I got my dog. But I had to go to the county pound like 4 times before I got my dog. The first few times it was pretty much all pitbulls 020
Christopher @selectstarman.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I disagree. I think the podcaster/X/Tiktok political entertainment landscape selects for people who really believe the shizo conspiracy stuff. They aren't trained in argumentation but entertainment, which has much lower value on coherence or fidelity to reality. 060
Christopher @selectstarman.bsky.social · 25/09/2026The big Trump biopic should def be called Bankruptcy 111
Christopher @selectstarman.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I have 2 versions: - "Be back soon" = I'll return in 5 min or so. - "Gbye" = go ahead and take a nap. Might be all day or even a weekend. 000
Christopher @selectstarman.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Think how many qtips will kick off next time when nobody masks, isolates, or takes a vaccine. 020
Christopher @selectstarman.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Segregated social spaces all go insane; they turn characteristic virtues up until they become pathologies. Care becomes recursive harm-processing, masculinity becomes domination jackass, academia becomes trivia for status. Every scene becomes a safe space for a turbo-anima(e) demon. 000
Christopher @selectstarman.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Sometimes it's just "if my kid is an adult that makes me Old" But yeah if you view everyone else's life with disdain (so you can feel ok about your own life due to it being superior) it's easy to freak out about your kid not doing stuff the way you would do it. 040
Christopher @selectstarman.bsky.social · 24/09/2026When I was in highschool they removed the bathroom stall doors to crack down on smoking 010
Christopher @selectstarman.bsky.social · 24/09/2026He hates ffs for saving property from fires. I hate ffs because they demand big, expensive trucks, bad land use rules to accommodate said trucks, and evidence-free changes to building codes that make apartments worse. We are not the same! 050
Christopher @selectstarman.bsky.social · 24/09/2026This has to swim against an accelerated clean energy transition. 000
Christopher @selectstarman.bsky.social · 24/09/2026When you doom too hard and the algo starts feeding you red ET posts, which are so dumb you start dooming less 000
Christopher @selectstarman.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Every Republican running for election in 2028 should have ads up against them saying they could have impeached and convicted Trump and saved us from this mess and chose not to 000
Christopher @selectstarman.bsky.social · 23/09/2026The question is whether the Samson option happens to just the GOP or the whole country 001

Christopher @selectstarman.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Sometime you try to avoid an emotion and running really hard and then it just Happens anyway. 000
Christopher @selectstarman.bsky.social · 22/09/2026> this project needs to wrap up > Doesn't close a ticket this sprint > Boss seems upset > Wdhmbt? 040
Christopher @selectstarman.bsky.social · 22/09/2026A good chunk of these people have no faith at all (the words they use are not in relationship to a model of reality, to which they are faithful - I.e. good faith, or discordant- bad faith). Words are a game of inclusion, exclusion, and power only. 0281
Christopher @selectstarman.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Some natural causes of death are painful and embarrassing. Noöne deserves bone cancer. However, 010
Christopher @selectstarman.bsky.social · 22/09/2026A lot of people are calling my view that Ohio peasants shouldn't be allowed to leave their ancestral steel plant to move to a borough "feudalist", but I also support multi-generational tenancy rights for specific ethnicities by neighborhood. 000
Christopher @selectstarman.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Used to eat a lot of plain, dry rolled oats. Straight out of the quaker oats cylinder. 010
Christopher @selectstarman.bsky.social · 21/09/2026people who fuck not out of yearning or horniness, but power/ dominance games 010
Christopher @selectstarman.bsky.social · 21/09/2026EA, utilitarianism, and communism have some good ideas, but are just varieties of the same problem: not appreciating the limits of individual knowledge. 000
Christopher @selectstarman.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Why can't there be a sex cult in SF that gets plentiful cyberpunk housing and transit built. More Back Doors in My Backyard - MBIMBY 020
Christopher @selectstarman.bsky.social · 18/09/2026When I was a kid I loved baseball (collecting baseball cards and a pen & paper baseball simulation game) 010
Christopher @selectstarman.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I don't really think paywalls worked. News could be funded by private rich person foundation money, or as extensions of in-person social organizations (like the old union newspapers) 011
Christopher @selectstarman.bsky.social · 18/09/2026The hugging face incident shows why humans use ambiguous communication. It was a mob behaviour. 000

Christopher @selectstarman.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Humans fuck an inordinate amount compared to most animals The whole sweat glands/persistance hunting thing makes us unusually smelly The cranial reduction means we overshot on individual rationality vs group mentation: we are autistic Aliens see humans the way you see Aella. 000
Christopher @selectstarman.bsky.social · 17/09/2026If pro-lifers were consistent they'd see getting a blood donation as becoming a dual-souled chimera. 010
Christopher @selectstarman.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Everything in "social" media is just this. Finding the craziest person with a view you disagree with (on a bot) so you get angry at those crazies 010

Christopher @selectstarman.bsky.social · 17/09/2026The big thing would be throttling how much interaction you get from people not in your neighborhood of the social graph 210

Christopher @selectstarman.bsky.social · 17/09/2026I just watched one, the biggest thing was some actual contrast (e.g. not the superhero "no CGI bricks left unilluminated") 010

Reposted by Christopher Jjinandtonic @jjinandtonic.bsky.social · 31/05/2026Traditionally the way to get rid of a corrupt/brutal police force was to set up a second, concurrent police force to displace them and/or call in the militia against them 1324
Christopher @selectstarman.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Well they probably would. Community meetings should just be eliminated or turned into reëducation sessions 000
Christopher @selectstarman.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Antagonizing assholes is both fun karmic godhood and a great way to get your teeth punched in. On a personal level, doing so is valid, but if you are "part of a community" maybe consider them. 020
