I'm #colorblind and I use https://xkcd.com/color/rgb/ frequently. Randall 'xkcd' Monroe did a survey of over 100,000 readers where he showed them random rgb colors and said "what would you call this?" and afterwards he did his best to sort the results into the most popular color names and the […]

[Firearms from a leftist persepective] You should buy a gun and train with it. I'm no longer convinced this will lull over without mass violence. You should make friends with your neighbors and friends and train with them You should stock on bullets The best time was 10 years ago, the […]

Thanks to a post by @ghalfacree I now have a corporate catch all email where if they insist I give them an email to purchase something, they will he given [Store name]@[my custom domain] Using a catch all record. The domain? juicero.gay

I found this French water colorist and blogger who makes beautiful art that my fiance and I adore. I wanted to buy a print just because I'd worry about an original making it state side, but she doesn't ship to the US. Good for her. Fuck the US!

I think the best lesson we learned from Star Trek: Lower Decks is that we should let things end.

Man, anybody else ready Hillbilly Elegy when it came out? It's been astonishing and depressing to watch Vance since then. Like, I don't expect a beautiful writer to share my views on everything, but to have it finally end up in avowing that a murdered man was an "assassin" is bizarre to me.

Found a posting on indeed for a CTO with the only qualification required was "Being a leader, being knowledgeable, GED preferred." I'm 99% its a bit, but I applied. I'd love to go from IT Engineer to CTO

"Hey! Urgent ticket! A former employee made a rogue M365 account, made a document that is vital to our work flow, shared it to us, and we have been working out of that document for 4 years. Can you help us recover it?" Do you have a local copy? "No" Do you know what email invited you? "No" Do […]

Simple act of resistance today that has me completely frazzled. I made loose leaf tea care packages for all my neighbors in this storm. I wanted to knock on doors and check on everyone, but I am deeply socially anxious (always have been). So I settled on […] [Original post on hachyderm.io]

Fiance looking at my computer: "You have 22 tabs open? Why so many tabs." Me: I actually just got done making a modes Minecraft server for you and your siblings, I had to learn so much about what the fuck a Cobblemon is. Fiance: "I don't know bro. Sounds like you're coping...." Me: how many […]

I think we need a bechdel test for tradiesand truckers, but instead of talking about a man its about Beef Jerky and beer.

Time for a break and to brew a cuppa along the Pipeline Track. The 28km track ascends the lower southern face of Kunanyi-Mt Wellington in Tasmania, following the route of the Northwest Bay River at its headwaters. Passing through eucalypt forest, the track is a […] [Original post on mastodon.au]

[Bible and homosexuality, SA mention] I really liked Dan McClellan's explanation for what the old testament condemns specifically about homosexuality. According to him, the ancient Israelites had no concept of sexuality like we do. Anything other than a heterosexuality was just not something […]

I think we need to start talking about masks differently. Masks in cultures where collectivism is a normal feature are worn as needed. If you're sick you stay home, if you cant stay home you wear a mask when in public. That's how they work. Masking as a healthy person doesn't really do […]

Honestly, shocked there are new young beats owners around. As someone actively wearing ear buds I bought without thinking about it, I'm not judging being sold something that's objectively not a good bang/buck But Jesus Christ they cost $200 minimum! Mine cost $30!

@arnemancy The site having issues? I can't get to Arnemancy.com

I need to ditch these apps that demand a streak. It makes me mad, but god damn it I have a 300 day streak on duolingo! And it's not showing. I suck at french.

New #blog post! Here I am arguing that Richard Dawkins both sucks and is the quintessential disenchanted man. He lives in a world far outside of his own mind to the point of viewing emotions as worthless instead of simply irrational. I argue feelings are worth everything […]

[Cis man (me) with Trans opinion] Weird idea I'm playing with that I'm not sure I have completely cooked, but I'm confident in. So please engage knowing I love trans people and I am just trying to find a meta common ground. Dick Dawkins said something along the lines of "I don't believe in any […]

Let us have a discussion about accessibility within modern #occult literature. My back ground is in libraries and IT. I had professors who stressed the importance of not using jargon when writing history. I dedicate so much of my life to explaining things in as plain of English as possible. As […]

Im going to write a blog post about the phases of my atheist journey. I think there are defining phases from fully disenchanted atheist to my current enchanted spiritualist atheist position.

@arnemancy I found a nice copy of the Corpus Hermeticum at a book shop in New Jersey. So I bought it because your co host on your podcast episode about the Kyballion was a fan of it and had recommended it. Unfortunately, the copy I bought is an older translation that's not good at all, so said […]

Do you think it'd be funny to make western man memes like "Can you be a western man if you believe in an ASIAN god?" I think its funny until I remember there are pagan Nazis. I've never met one but I know they exist

Having a vasectomy doesn't mean you can't "try for a baby". You just won't succeed in having a baby, but you will get your parents excited about how much sex you're having

Anyone make their own essential oils ? What do you use? How do you like it? #witch #occult #alchemy #fragrance #candle #candlemaking

Preparing for coffee with a recovering MAGA He's fun to talk to these days because the brainwashing is lifted enough that logical arguments work. Now he brings up MAGA conspiracy theories in a "can you explain this?" Kinda way. Its refreshing.

i absolutely love going through https://okstupid.lol/ and seeing all the MEN who signed up for "WhiteDate" thinking they could find far right women to mingle yet all it lead to was their insane incel beliefs being leaked alongside their real address and name

Its weird to "cancel" a celebrity/influencer for cheating on their partner IMO. I remember when John Mulaney went back into rehab after the news broke his mistress was pregnant. There were so many upset people on tumblr Like, homie was talking about doing copious amounts of cocaine. We weren't […]

Whenever I go on a sports muting spree in my "All" feed it always feels like there are N+1 sports bots on fedi Where N is the number I've blocked

Huh, the cheap razor I bought at the gas station for a dollar cut up my face. Who'd have thunk

Being proud and identifying with an inherited culture is fine. It has always been fine. The problem is that White is not a culture.

Alright comrades, time to cancel Nagaram. I just walked into the first building I saw that had an Asian person in it and ordered sushi. It was a Boba tea place It was RIGHT NEXT to the sushi place I was going to. Anyways. Last you'll hear from me. I must go wither from embarassment

Controversial take, but I don't think my biggest problem with Substack is the Nazis (note: this is a really BIG problem) My biggest problem is the "social media" ness of it. Like its clearly trying to be a tumblr thing and I don't want that. I think the best way to do the internet is to have […]

I've also finished Dan McClellan's "The Bible Says so" but I want to read it again and actually read the bible before giving any thoughts on it.

"The Rise and Fall of Ancient Egypt" by Toby Wilkinson Seems to be a good chronological history of ancient Egypt and a great starting place for me. I'm a fan of history of ideas and part of that is how ideologies, religions, and philosophy change over the years. This book is doing a great job […]

So my driving book for this trip has been "The Rise and Fall of Ancient Egypt" by Toby Wilkinson I've been meaning to get interested in ancient Egypt for a while, but my annoying anti-imperialist tendencies always made me hesitant considering the sheer quantity of colonialism within the […]

Now “Inventing the Renaissance” is on sale for $3.99 on Kobo and Nook! Grab while you can!

I get it. I have a darker complexion, a Hispanic last name, and we're in Miami. There is a solid guess that I'm more comfortable speaking Spanish. Unfortunately the name is as close as I am to any Hispanic culture and I keep having to say "Uh, I'm sorry? No uh, English please." And its very […]

I've been in 4 different book stores today and I've bought no books. I don't know if its a point of pride they don't sell books I'm interested in at the airport or an annoyance

So I've decided I'm going to dedicate my life to performing séances while staying 100% in character as if its 1890 and you and all your friends are part of my spiritualist society. My fiance had already agreed to be the assistant who drops "letters from the great beyond" through the upstairs […]

It was a bit of an adventure with the local post office in Santiago, but all seven postcards from this trip are now on their way to their owners (one in the USA, one in Spain, two in Germany and three in the Netherlands). Let's see if they arrive... 😬 The […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

"What the fuck has that got to do with anything interesting?" -Richard Dawkins I hate this quote because I hate Dawkins and what kinda person he is and what he did to the Nu-Atheist movement. Dawkins and his "fuck your feelings" philosophy of debate with religious leaders was good because it […]

Fuck, I might be swapping back to PopOS

Condescending & boring colleague reviews my 2019 book extremely unkindly, seven years later organises a conference on the subject of my book, about which there are no other recent books, does not invite me. 🙄 Oh well, the proceedings volume will be full of references to the book. #academia

"I just wanna go 3 minutes without seeing some religious bullshit" From one atheist to another Unfortunately you live on earth where some 95% of the population is religious. You can vent and be mad about having to see religious stuff ad nauseam but that's still an aspect of nearly every human […]

So I read Satya Nadellas actual post and its pretty short. Its hard to give blatant marketing material a fair read and you shouldn't on principal. I don't know of CEOs know that there is a distinction between a "productivity tool" and a "cognitive amplifier". AI has done nothing to increase my […]
