okay I haven't seen your blog since you were the plane guy, did something happen here? why are all the comments about religion?

also if its related to the gay bible people post, you forgot the Public Universal Friend

I'm still a plane guy! I just also have a big interest in theology and religious history. :') And yes, I love the Friend <3 I didn't include The Friend on that post just because I feel like The Friend is pretty well-know compared to other gender non-conforming or non-heterosexual figures in Christianity.

hey nerd, you're a historical clothing person: whats the best fit for like genderqueer time traveler back on their bullshit?

I am, but you have to tell me more about what this genderqueer person likes to wear. I can't make any assumptions just from their gender identity.

Signed,

Someone who knows nonbinary folks who enjoy dressing like Marie Antoinette and nonbinary folks who enjoy dressing like stereotypical long-haul truckers, and everything in between.

PS- probably get a puffy white blouse though.

if the english language was actually a slutty woman like that textpost you were in implied, would you date her?

Yes and I would ask her her secret to being a slut so I can apply it to my own life.

What's the most passionate opinion you have about a nonsense topic? (Eg those people who REALLY care about the correct way to make a cup of tea)

“it makes sense when a super genius or robot character can predict the chances of something to a really specific percentage bc they’re good at math” that’s!!! not!!! how!!! probability works!!!!! it makes sense if they’re just crunching numbers but if the joke is “out of 6,420,350,304 possible outcomes, there is one in which we succeed” hell no!!! Real world!!! Probabilities!!! Come! With! ERROR BARS! They CANNOT BE REALISTICALLY CALCULATED TO THAT NUMBER OF SIGNIFICANT DIGITS!!! There are too many UNQUANTIFIABLES requiring RANGES and ESTIMATES. yes haha the robo genius can divide for an irrational number in their head so can my dollar store calculator but that’s NOT! HOW! bASIC STATISTICS! wORKS!!!!!!! out of millions of possible realities, what’s the probability you’ve ever had one (1) conversation with a stats professor? zero!!! or you’d have heard of the basic principle of VARIANCE!! that is LAZY writing, that is SIMPLISTIC and INSIPID character building, stop!!!! doing that!!!!!!!!! either use STANDARD DEVIATION like someone who passed PRE-CALCULUS or leave!!!

So, apparently you have a passion for open source software. Any you'd recommend?

i highly recommend people do their own research (”[software you want to replace] open source version” might work for a starting point) especially since ones need for software is relative to what they want to do but some popular open source software i have downloaded are anki, calibre e-book management, darktable, firefox, greenshot, shotcut, and windirstat

Hey, I stopped listening around season 2/3 because my app broke. Last I heard nessie was there and there were people listening in(?)

Where do I need to catch up from?

Hey! If you stopped at the episode Niseag, that would be episode 18. So you can go on from episode 19, Cole, to the finale of season 2 and the lockdown tapes, to the liveshows, then take a sharp turn to season 3, go through, and you can enter the current season - Season 4! We are currently at episode 46, with 47 being a christmas special coming next week!

Happy to hear you are back! We hope you enjoy the rest of Season 2 and season 3+4 - I have to say that I am a little jealous, I would love to listen again for the first time. You are in for quite a few twists and turns! Better make that cocoa!
