    The Random Crap Thread 2: It Hits the Fan.

    That's what several of my pet-owning friends recommend, and the site I'm planning to use if/when I transition my cat to nicer foods/litters than what my Kroger carries, so sort of second-hand endorsement here.

    [News] The USA Police State will never satisfy its lust for beating, gassing, and imprisoning minorities

    The audit, AFAICT from reading, revealed that officers were padding their numbers by pretending to run breath tests (covering the straw port or blowing in themselves) to meet productivity quotas, which is a completely different situation (and sounds far preferable to having a beating and a...

    Video Game News and Miscellany

    Jeff Vogel has launched his first Kickstarter. If you miss (or still enjoy) isometric Windows/Mac RPGs that sacrifice graphics in favor of story, I would heartily recommend checking his stuff out. The Geneforge 5-game series has one of my favorite all-time videogame settings (I'm currently...

    Whine like a baby, now with 500% more drama!

    Fairly sure I caught something at Momocon. Been waking up really tired, have muscle aches all over, more congestion than usual. It's stacking with my pre-existing malaise for extra fun. Made yesterday's job interview (IMO) really bad. Kinda need that side job, since my savings imploded, so I'm...

    [Rant] Tech Whine Like a baby thread

    How much space/power/bandwidth do you need? It can be pretty affordable nowadays. My Scaleway VC1S does what I need for my hobby stuff, and costs me slightly less than $5/mo:

    Minor victory thread

    Many little victories, mostly filtered out of the messes. I haven't had any non-fleeting suicidal ideation since early April, and haven't drunk alone since the February breakdown. Things are better. I have Friday through Monday off work, a Momocon membership, and crash space in the hotel room...

    Ohhh yes. Very often underage, too, and full of youthful zeal.

    Funny (political, religious) pictures

    A noticeable part of Tumblr's community encourages disclosure of past traumas and anything that makes you atypical, lest you be dogpiled for having an opinion where you shouldn't (this is specially relevant when it comes to wrongthink in the many discourses). Many people, younger ones specially...

    Funny (political, religious) pictures

    To be fair, and as common as that is due to both good and bad reasons, it doesn't say self-diagnosed.

    Gas Bandit's Political Thread V: The Vampire Likes Bats

    That was a very persuasive read! I do wonder what the arguments against it might look like (perhaps that the conditions that lead to the 2000-level funding are anomalous?), I'll try and do some googlin' tonight.

    Gas Bandit's Political Thread V: The Vampire Likes Bats

    Isn't that at least partially because your students, as a population, have turned into a risk-free investment vehicle? Student loans are attractive to lenders and schools AFAIK, since they can't be discharged in bankruptcy except through adversarial/undue hardship weirdness, are given out like...

    [Rant] Tech Whine Like a baby thread

    Seems like this only affects people that rent their router from Comcast, so I should be unaffected. Own the modem and router, since they paid for themselves in under a year. They charge for paper bills (or rather, give a paperless discount), and none of their e-mails to me have included the full...

    TIL: Today I Learned

    Reading about the alpha-gal allergy is what brought me to the pork-cat one. I live in prime tick real estate and own cats, so both were of interest.
