I just like commenting

This started as me making a name because I was tired of commenting anonymously. It has since turned into a place for me talking about my nerdier joys and frustrations, with the occasional political/personal post thrown in. Feel free to message me if you ever see me screw up anything. I am old by tumblr's standards and sometimes make mistakes.

Reblogged this before reading the notes, so now I'm editing my reblog to note that this story is 7 years old, the nurse sued and won, the cop got fired, laws and policies got changed to further protect patients and healthcare workers

Reminder that we don't actually train cops to know what the law is which in and of itself explains like half of their nonsense.

Note: I'm a 1997 baby, so obviously my choices are largely influenced by what was popular when I was in school - and what was popular with my friend group.

I probably missed some stuff, but i tried to brainstorm a good list. Be honest with yourself..

If youre a jack of all trades that gets pulled in every direction as a spare set of hands, pick what youd enjoy the most. If on your commune everyone rotates jobs and duties, pick whatever one youd volunteer for most often, or youd be best at.

This isn't the perfect hypothetical commune, you'll have to trade with neighbors, or encounter the outside world for medicine and supplies sometimes. You can play music and tell stories after suppertime.

If i get enough votes ill do "What joy do you bring to the commune"

Looking at these results and remembering that one of Upton Sinclair's conclusion from writing The Jungle was that under (libertarian) socialism we'd likely be mostly vegetarian because almost nobody would voluntarily work in a slaughterhouse.

In honor of taking my niece to her first RenFest in a few weeks (also, this is literally a point made in The Sandman from back in 1995, get with the program 2024).

Syril Karn is a pathetic little man.

But he manages to terrify me in spite of that fact.

Somehow.

[i-just-like-commenting]

He's the walking embodiment of the Banality of Evil. Nobody knows a Darth Vader in real life, most of us know a Syril Karn.

Would you rather...

Spend a week in the last book you've read (as yourself, but with a week's worth of appropriate clothing and resources to match the protaganist's circumstances, as well as a means of being inserted into the plot, or in the last movie you watched, with the same set of conditions. If you die, you have to go home. (Please list your choice & title in the notes!)

Book

Anyway, obligatory reminder that the victims of Jonestown took poison surrounded by armed guards who held them at gunpoint and may have been dosed with sedatives beforehand, so the idea that everyone there embraced suicide willingly is a myth.

“They canceled The Acolyte!! Star Wars made it clear women, queers and POCs aren’t welcome!!!!!”

You sure about that?

[i-just-like-commenting]

The "anti-woke" mob want to believe that the casting is what got The Acolyte cancelled and not the $180 million budget that it just did not bring in numbers to justify, and probably was never going to, the streaming model is in serious trouble.

I love Severance because it's like 'what if you worked in an office but we twisted and warped all the normal things to be really fucked up?' but also that's just what working in an office feels like
