Or no longer innocent.

I’d watch a papillon noire.

Listen to Someone You Loved by Lewis Capaldi while singing this song. You’re welcome.

The title just doesn’t care.

Worse than the monetary theft, he appears to have stolen the identity and likeness of Good Guy Greg.

I mean, it’s not “funny haha” throughout, but it’s great double-edged satire.

It did make me laugh out loud when the punchline showed up at the very end (the title of the short film in Comic Sans).

Earl Grey, hot, nothing added.

Health insurance is a scam. American healthcare is atrocious. Stochastic terrorism is never okay. Don’t you dare claim that it is.

You gotta use colons. Then it’s pretty easy.

Let this be a warning, kids. Tats like this are a gateway. Don’t think that he can hide behind a mask forever. Don’t follow his route.

Has someone being awkward or a bit weird ever dissuaded you from having romantic interest in them?

"Hey, wanna go on a comic book store date with me at [store name] on [day of the week]?

The ask, the expectation of a date (and admission of romantic interest), and a specific time and place. Don’t leave the question open-ended or vague. Then she can respond in a few ways: 1. Yes. 2. I’m not free that day; is there another day that we could go? 3. No thank you.

This makes everything as clear as it can be, with little room for misunderstanding. And it’s not a dumb idea at all to have a comic book store date. If you have a hard time talking to girls, don’t talk to girls. Talk to humans who happen to be girls. They’re people, and you’re a person too, so you don’t need to overthink it.

You got this! Good luck!

Or some Douglas Adams poetry: Vogon poetry.

They probably did read UK and just went off on a sine or cosine about how bad it would have been with an American lawyer.

Strange things, motorcycles. They can cure depression, but they’re also suicidal.

You should listen to Brian Eno’s Music for Airports if you haven’t already. It’s beautiful calm for when you’re in a chaotic environment.

Whoa whoa whoa, that’s maybe too harsh. Maybe just downgrade him to ad-supported?

I’m another Libertarian to Socialist convert. Also ultra-conservative religious to nonreligious.

I started reading up on the origins of beliefs I held. I learned that Hayek (author of The Road to Serfdom, a father of Austrian economics) thought that his ideal laissez faire economics could only be sustained with universal social safety nets like UBI and healthcare for all. Smith (author of The Wealth of Nations, father of American capitalism) basically replaced royal bloodlines with wealth birthright, using class separation of ownership (and heavy emphasis on slavery) instead of historic feudalism. His system was basically the same, just replacing the tiny ruling class. And I discovered Marx wasn’t some evil terrorist trying to destroy the world.

For religion, it was all the internal inconsistencies. The problem with fundamentalism is that it’s self-destructive. Everyone fights over smaller and smaller interpretation differences, searching for The Truth, ignoring that you can literally back up any conclusion by justifying it backwards with the text. And everybody in a conservative religion has a lot of immovable conclusions they will defend to the exclusion of all evidence or all people.
