After having worked with wood and son of a cabinet maker, I crave the strength and certainly of steel. I got into welding in a big way.some aluminium, but mostly steel. It’s such a wonderful material. Cut it, weld it, grind it, bam, new and bigger steel. You can’t make a piece of wood bigger.

Pro tip, don’t stand there and smirk, she’ll know somethings up. You need to put up a convincing protest, and whine in anguish when she deletes the icon.

This was actually an unfortunate time travel accident, the truck was from the future, carrying a cargo of Microsoft Windows 2095.

(The OS is actually just a giant pulsating copilot logo that charges you by the minute to look at it while your brain slowly liquifies)

I’m curious, why is it so important for some people to get a diagnosis? Does it unlock access to medication or treatment that they want? Or is it just the knowing?

I’m fairly certain I’m Autistic, and I’ve had two unrelated doctors (not qualified to make the assessment) accidentally assume that I knew and had already been diagnosed, but I’ve never had a formal diagnosis. I’m not really too fussed about getting one, because it wouldn’t really change the way I live my life. But that’s just me, maybe it’s more important for other people

Did the person who invented capitalism even get paid for their idea?

This planet could have been a gas giants’ ring.

Much better than the field-expedient buttplugs made out of everyday vegetables.

I just finished “Cannibals are Human: A District Officer’s Wife in New Guinea” by Helen McLeod.

It’s a very interesting book about the wife of an Australian district officer who was trying to curtail inter-tribal warfare between PNG highland tribes during the decades when PNG was an Australian mandate.

The woman herself is quite admirable hiking 100kms in the highlands mostly barefoot and covered in leeches. It also describes the state of tribal warfare as it stood, in objective terms, without being too derogatory or dismissive. It emphasizes the truly vast differences between regional tribes, their farming prowess, and the existential threat that looms over all of them from centuries of war. It also doesn’t wrap everything up in a neat bow at the end. The Australian governance wasn’t perfect, the influence of western technology and medicine was paradigm-shifting and both good and bad, independence was a shitshow, but the author considered it a painful necessity.

The rest was classified

If you take K while you’re already disassociating from something else, say, trauma and depression, will it cause you to reassociate?

Is there a sane reason why a man at an airport would be wearing all these hats?
