A Phlaming Phoenix

I think the general reception of this news shows that any successful prosecution would be seen as such an injustice, and likely to spark further acts of rebellion. I almost think it’s in the ruling class’s favor to let this one go.

Yeah, I didn’t know people were just giving out basic necessities. I’ve been allowing people to exploit my labor for nothing this whole time?

And that being gay was bad. It was not conveyed well in our media, and our culture was full of negative connotations with non-heterosexuality. I feel you on this one. Bi people exist, and we’re everywhere!

You like em tongue-in-cheek? You might try Chopping Mall (1986). Shopping mall management invests in a killer robot security system. A group of horny teens decides to spend the night there, but a lightning storm takes out the main killer robot controller! It’s funny, a little gory, has topless men and women, and it’s hilarious. A spook night favorite of mine.

Krull (1983) is an all time favorite of mine. It’s the most D&D plot you’ve ever seen coupled with beautiful cinematography​ and a great score by James Horner.

Lol, I’m sorry

Actually, Pythonscript is a whitespace-sensitive Python-to-perl transpiler.

Never had a beer that I liked. There are some I can tolerate, but none of them are actually enjoyable. So I usually go for cocktails, either a gin and tonic or a Moscow mule.

Yeah, that’s a really weird way to finger a G major. I will play it with my second finger on the third fret of low E, first finger on the second fret of A, third finger barred across B and high E at third fret. If I’m playing a song that requires certain chord changes (like the way Wonderwall drops from G major to a G/F# to an Em7 to a Dsus to an A7sus) I will use third and fourth finger on the high strings instead of the barre because it’s easier to move the root notes around that way.

Anything from Neutral Milk Hotel’s album In an Aeroplane Over the Sea. The whole album is Guitar 101.

I am bisexual and somewhat poly. With some of my friends I have a more publicly physical/intimate relationship. We may hold hands, hug, or kiss. In private, we cuddle and… do other things as well. I imagine the straights of Lemmy will largely tell you they don’t cuddle their male friends while the queer folk will give a different answer.

Tori Amos’s Silent All These Years. That mercurial little piano riff. The painful lyrics. The liberation of the middle eight. It’s a perfect song.

“Filmed on a canoe” is how I put it.

The sequel was worse: a hackneyed “elements” magic system and a plot that would only work on a much longer time scale. Too much stuff crammed into too little movie.

I get it. I love the slow pace, the beautiful cinematography, the careful dialog. But it’s not for everyone.

Primarily use my desktop (nothing beats a proper desk setup for Getting Shit Done) for work and gaming. I have a laptop that I use less frequently, but it’s an acceptable way to take work with me if I have to. It won’t play any games more graphically intense than Slay the Spire, but that’s not the point. I use my phone for Serious Business only when absolutely necessary. Anything short of a proper desktop setup feels like a crippled user experience, and phones are the most crippled experience of them all.

I think the connotation is that a Muppet is controlled by someone else. Their every thought, word, and action is the intent of their handlers.

It also encourages you to shop at, say, Kroger rather than Safeway.

There was an attempt by Twitter at one point to use “420 Enhance Your Calm” as a code to indicate you’re being rate limited.
