Far Side

I don’t like most people, but I really don’t like most smart people. Most of them are no better at thinking than those without as much mental horsepower but the smart people squander vast amounts of that available potential doing donuts in the parking lot on propaganda, tribal concerns, identity politics, and pure irrelevancies.

It just seems like more of a waste to me, and they are far more annoying, too.

Change Down

One of the strangest things about the pandemic is seeing the open borders types, who have long advocated the idea that anyone should be able to go anywhere at any time, switch from that to claiming it’s unethical to want to leave one’s country (or, sometimes, house), to go on holiday, to wish to do anything but hide inside pitifully.

These are the same people. I know the pandemic has been traumatizing…but damn, what a change-up.

Hire and Hire

His time management and organizational skills must be superhuman, not to mention social skills.

Dating two women at the same time (who know about each other) is as much as I can manage socially, and that’s pushing it for me. Dang, I want to hire him as a PM or something.

Privation

By Fat Acceptance logic, those who go on hunger strikes and those who have survived concentration camps should weigh thousands of pounds, as they are in constant “starvation mode.”

We Are It

Ha.

Then you realize that it was all all fake, including old Ludwig. Then you transcend. We are the meaning we seek in the world.

Pule

One of the big branding problems with polyamory is that no one with a lick of sense would join anything called a “polycule.” It’s like if they renamed monogamous relationships to “turdwaffle.” Now who would want to be in a “turdwaffle?” NO ONE of course.

“Polycule” sounds like something you’d travel to a hospital to get treated for, not anything desirable.
