Edge Case

I’ve always been well off the beaten path politically. Though my views have changed some since then, on a forum I used to be a regular on back in the early 2000s the exact same dude around six months apart called me an “An unhinged loony leftist” and a “Prissy never-been-laid Republican conformist.” Because those sentiments were so apposite and opposite, I took a screenshot of the post but can’t find it anymore. Was probably on some CD-R that got corrupted before I had a real NAS.

There’s no tribe I am or ever will be a part of. I just can’t bend my thinking that way. I’ll always be at the edge, wrestling with the demons of complex thoughts and real-world exigencies. For me, it’s the only way to live.

Louvrely

People don’t understand the Louvre heist. No one steals anything like those thieves did thinking they can resell what was taken. It’s not like you can put that sort of loot on Ebay.

That stuff already had a buyer and was specifically targeted because that (likely) billionaire wanted it for his or her private collection. That’s the only reason to purloin items like that with no plausible secondary market.

Never Hap

Never happen. Frankly, no one cares if men have a good time or not. Ever. Anything like this where men have a good time is seen as disgusting and unnatural, even if it’s something as simple as, “Men should not have to do all the work all the time.”
