Careless Idle Chatter.

Part of my quest to become less of a mollusk and more of a man. My "Deal" is thus: rat-inflected aspiring pseud, a bio guy, androphile, sci-fi autist, weeb, 20＜my_age＜30, 日本語で。。。俺、頑張ります。 I'm just going to keep adding quotes to the bio until it becomes unwieldy Do You The Devils Work. world-mastering self-torturing incipiently angelic beast Every flimsy letterbomb in every drab functionary’s face is a work of love. Buon appetito, and long love steel!

Too sleepy and sickly at work today, began a flat-affect monologue about nootropics to a coworker. *actively about to fall over* “so modafinil is used by a lot of people but the official evidence is actually kinda mixed-”

@sybaritick your time has come

oooh. now I don't know Homestuck but I do know Nixon and Kissinger, and the Internet tells me that what you are looking for is the mediator, peacekeeper, like the ego balancing the id and superego. The trouble with this is that to some degree I see Kissinger as managing Nixon. They were both using each other, for sure, but Nixon was more often the unstable one and Kissinger was telling him what he wanted to hear and also trying to build his own base of power to some degree, getting the NSC to agree with him on how Nixon is unstable and he is the sensible one. Kissinger wanted a level of control over foreign policy that he knew he could not have except through Nixon; he wouldn't be elected anyway, he's not the type and a Jew (ethnically), but note that he was not born in the US either.

But my disappointing conclusion is that I don't think there is any good option here. I know the names you may think of: Haldeman? Schlesinger? Haig? Agnew even? None fit. Nixon and Kissinger just used and managed each other quite effectively.

They recognized that they were more valuable to each other that way than as enemies despite (at times considerable) personal animosity because they were both tremendously ambitious. They could help each other: a political marriage, in the classical sense. Nixon was clearly paranoid of Kissinger's power; Kissinger had to be somewhat delicate with him not to spook him too badly. Was Kissinger the woman, then? Yes, but he was also the dom.

proposed new prepositions:

withover: in the physically upper part of; larger-scale than the scope of; in supersession of, in primacy over; by consuming or using up. the attic is withover the house; august is withover my birthday; the sample became famous withover the song it came from; a car moves withover its fuel.

withunder: in the physically lower part of; smaller-scale than the scope of; in supersession by, in defeat by; for the sake of, in service of. you can find the brown sugar withunder the pantry; the allophones are withunder the phoneme; the defendant paid a fine withunder the plaintiff; the artist made sacrifices withunder her vision.

anyone who reads this is encouraged to reblog with more!

[minor-locrian]

awant: toward or around the lack of. the apology was built awant the words "i'm sorry." the argument looped and doubled back on itself awant a consistent foundation. the trip was planned awant a plan. the waters surged awant the dam.

[minor-locrian]

thruward: through a gap or flaw in. the pass ran thruward the mountains. the light shone thruward the curtains. passing thruward airport security is a lot more interesting than passing through airport security.

I used to think wasabi peas sounded disgusting but recently I got a chance to try wasabi peas that didn’t involve me going out of my way to buy them and-

well, for some reason my immediate thought for how to express that I like them now was to imagine a girl on her knees with swirly eyes blushing and flashing a double peace sign and going “I love wasabi peas!”

…I think certain types of perverts in my circles whose posts I see frequently are starting to rub off on me…

[fishing-princess]

I think it’s kind of beautiful that through the power of being mutuals with some people and seeing some types of posts they make/reblog that i usually find mildly amusing at best, I have gained the ability to imagine concepts like a wasabi peas mindbreak instant loss 2koma

[fishing-princess]

The moral of the story is that you should let the perverts in your life exert influence on you. It might give you highly specific mental images that are kind of funny to think about. Or something else could happen and that could be fun too

Every Southern state has a senator who served sometime between 1880--1960 whose wikipedia article can be summed up as "He was a brilliant rhetorician who could mesmerize even his fellow congressmen, a (Tulane/Vanderbilt/Georgetown)-educated lawyer who spoke four languages and translated Latin poetry in his spare time, was pivotal in creating the modern public school/community college/highway/state park system, and devoted every moment of his life to hating black people more than anyone you know has ever hated anything."

OP: This is the first time I've seen the Yellow River's sediment discharge with my own eyes.

[jingyuanyuan]

There's a Chinese meme that the Yellow River doesn't need rituals to present sacrifices because if it's hungry it'll come onto the shore and eat the sacrifices itself.

[asmuchasidliketo]

#some netizens also say chinese people like unification because only a powerful unified dynasty can survive the yellow river and sometimes #also the chang jiang when they decide to flood and change directions and kill and displace millions #also only large dynasties have the resources to do hydroengineering to try and control the yellow river #yellow river be like: if you don't hydroengineer you die #but if you do you might also die heehee #“we call these our mother rivers not because they are gentle but because we are too scared” tags on above post
