  • SeveralAnts is upset that eight copy-paste comments of theirs were removed by a mod from one comment section on !worldnews, each containing the exact same misinformation which implied that Mexican drug cartels had 37 presidential candidates assassinated in order to leave one lone candidate, a Jewish leftist scientist, as the cartels’ preferred candidate. This is a lie. While a few dozen Mexican politicians have been assassinated this election cycle, none of them were presidential candidates.

    What SeveralAnts is upset about is that their attempts at spreading lies in order to promote their anti-leftist agenda failed. To that, I say to them good fucking riddance. Go back to Twixxer.


  • Your situation is different from that of the person to whom you are replying.

  • If it’s not a hell yes, it’s a hell no.

    A very common phrase is polyam circles. I’d recommend reading literature by and for polyamorous people if you still find yourself curious, but hesitant. Thorntree Press has a good selection of books to choose from. Also, seek out polyamory groups in your area. There are FB polyamory groups in just about every major city that usually aren’t too hard to search for, and those groups will often have a monthly munch which would afford you the opportunity to ask questions of a variety of people who live that relationship style.



  • There was a show on a local access cable channel in Austin back in the late 90s/early 00s called The Show With Know Name. It was hosted by Charlie Sotelo and his mysterious sidekick “Cinco” in the booth, and they’d just shoot the shit in between showing fun videos (the precursor to YouTubers reacting to viral videos). I discovered it one day while flipping channels, and I learned it was their second to last show after a ten year run. I had a sad.

    Side note: Charlie Sotelo manages the SXSW Comedy festival, and he once punched Alex Jones in the fucking face.




  • I have yet to play the game Daybreak, but I bought a copy of it from my FLGS because of the monumental effort they put into their game about the effects of climate change; each of the more than 200 project and crisis cards has a QR code which links to a web page on the game’s site that gives details about that card, provides links to articles and research on the topic, and directs readers to groups where they can become an advocate for/against that topic.

    It’s a very different type of gameplay compared to Catan, but I’m interested in seeing how faithful this New Energies game is to teaching about climate change.
