Former ditch digger turned office worker. I miss the ditch digging sometimes. My body never does.

Made me laugh.

The dynasty that ruled Moscovy and eventually crowned themselves Tsar of Russia were Kievan Rus. Not sure how they’d ‘take’ what they already were.

Last month it was drained to be painted with a blue swimming pool liner.

Because that’s what you do when you’re losing another war in Asia.

For full effect you have to be high during the interview process as well.

I’m not sure what you mean with “walls listening in” when we’re talking about a public forum, but the doors are perfectly openable.

What I mean is the code infrastructure of the public forum doesn’t need to do what the users operating the platform do. These sorts of flags and tags for judgements on commentary have a direct impact on interactions between users, which is the door part of analogy.

Yeah, but let’s take a step back for a moment here and look at how the Fediverse is run by people. These communities and instances are all equipped to take action, moderate, curate, and create.

The people on the Fediverse are well equipped to grapple with the Paradox of Intolerance in a public forum without the walls listening in and making decisions about doors.

The omissions in this timeline about brigading sockpuppets and falsified nazi smears…

But to list that timeline and act as though this is out of context or unrelated to an ongoing crashout… we are reaching some Hasan’s dog collar level of bullshit.

It’s just an armband. You know. To help with context.

Innit.

There’s some neurotoxins that can get you with shellfish and such.

I remember 90’s era Starbucks and a bunch were still pretty grungy corners of strip malls. But the point was they were still coffeeshops, despite being a chain that went corporate.

Now they’re glorified coffee stands with real estate baggage and little sandwiches. And zero of that ‘third place’ shit they used to dominate the market.

Mom’s (inevitable) annoyance is the extreme priority here, which seems to be the only consideration. This misses how a vendor not having the desired product would be the source of annoyance.

All the hallmarks of planning and improvising alternatives are all here. However, whether there’s another fish vendor with trout, for example, is clouded by this fear of mom being annoyed. That’s what gets the mental attention.

So that stands out to me: a child’s fear of parental backlash being paralyzing. Just roadblocks the whole process.

The Salish languages mostly use a phonetic alphabet, and if I recall correctly, only one has standardized an alphabet which only happened in the 1970s. So the written word got obliterated compared to the pronunciation. The ‘ge’ is meant to sound like ‘get’. But since ‘geo’ exists, we hear and read ‘Jee-oh’ before ever thinking ‘Geh-oo’.

/former geoduck farmer and language student where geoducks were the mascot.

Back when I worked for a health department there was pretty good evidence that people mostly shit at work.

I came across this evidence when inspecting homeless encampments which was also when I came to learn most of them fucking had jobs.

Then covid came around and all the remote workers started blowing up their septic systems because they’d never been used so much and during the daytime.

The sanitary overlap between tent cities and fancy farmhouses is much larger than you’d expect.

Sorta. The dynasty that formed and ruled the tsardom of Russia were from Kievan Rus heritage by way of Rurik.

Muscovy was the polity that really formed the framework of the tsardom out of the princedoms left in the wake of the Khanates.

I remember a congregation out where I live, in Yankeestan, had astened a crude structure onto their truckbed and they called it their mobile chapel. They’d drive out to agriculture zones and try to preach to migrants against catholicism.

Protestant/Unionist

That is mainly the root of it. The Catholic-Protestant divide is mirrored as the Republican-Unionist divide. Even if the religion could be separated the political implication remained.

Which made things especially tough for the Protestants in the republic and all the Catholics in the union.
