I’ve clicked a few. Mostly by accident, the rest by deception.

Add I understand it, the real meaning of that line is not exactly what it sounds like. It meant something like “in this anonymous place, only your thoughts matter, not your identity.” If an idea was good, it was good, and it didn’t matter who had the idea. Very egalitarian.

Of course, we have since realized that isn’t really true. Sometimes it’s important to know if a thought is coming from a woman, who has had different experience from a man.

Still an idea that need to be left behind, but not the one you probably think.

That’s what Eternal September means.

“Pics or it didn’t happen” doesn’t really work anymore.

I’m curious to know why they are there. They can’t have much in the way of line of sight from there.

Maybe. Trump isn’t exactly motivated by trying to protect democracy.

A good question. It’s kind of like when crime happens to criminals. Yes, they are entitled to the same protection as everyone else, but there’s a side-eye there.

We all know Iran is governed by assholes. But it’s still wrong for us to invade them like this.

if Iran had a democracy there would be no war happening right now because the people of Iran CLEARLY wanted another government

Iran didn’t start the war. Our idiot in chief did. Maybe he wouldn’t have attacked a democratic Iran, but maybe he would have.

I think maybe someone should be worrying about it.

The only thing this makes me think is “May I, please?”

Isn’t that the guy that played Unicron?

Sometimes I think it’s a backlash against what we see as stupid rules that are imposed on us for no reason. We legitimately do want to be able to dispense with the bullshit, and admire people who can.

Might have been. But there are dozens of us.

In this case, the enemy of my enemy is my enemy’s enemy. Nothing more.

Always has been. Sometimes my enemy’s enemy and I want the same thing for a little while.

Maxim 29.

I see several. Most notably that we seem to keep winding up with leaders that want to enrich themselves rather than make thing better for everyone.

True, but we don’t have that society, yet we do have the ability to automate a lot of people out of a job.

We could automate those jobs, yes, but then a lot of people would have no jobs at all.

Motivation, mostly. I have half a dozen abandoned projects in writing, model building, miniature painting, electronics, programming.

I’m a man of many talents, and limited attention span.

That’s why I specified lady minotaur. I know what I’m about.

Male minotaur need not apply.

If they switched that up for a timid young farm boy and a lady minotaur with huge . . . tracts of land that need caring for, I’d read it. Wouldn’t even need to change the title.
