Ummm...why?

I remember borrowing the neighbor's VCR to dupe the one porn tape the teenagers could get and watching that grainy stuff, but...why? Slumming? Recapitulating extinct hassle?

@bmacDonald94

Willdo.

Stay safe.

@actuallyautistic

I need something to do.

For the absolute first time in my life I'm not filled with surging emotions. Today is like a tabula rasa for me, and I'm hoping to build on it.

I've been stuck in autistic burnout since I was 8yo. The only hobby I ever had was picking through rolls of pennies to pull out the wheatbacks, for one summer as a preteen.

I really could use something to do that isn't computer based. I have books, but want something more active.

Suggestions?

@youronlyone

I can't say it's a /good/ reason, but i'd like it to exist. One american oddball would really appreciate a place to read about those poorly represented cultures. Indonesia is 7k islands and the 4th largest country in the world and i know fuck-all about the culture. It's easier to find information on african cultures than asean.

But i know that, because it's something i'd like, basically nobody else will. At least here.

It's also the purview of the artist. The lady or the tiger?

Like tech. There is no bad tech, only bad applications of tech.

@Rocc

I don't 3d print, but wouldn't anyone but an engineer who has a couple months to spend have to download a recipe to 3d print a gun?

If so, what makes you think those recipes aren't /closely/ monitored?

@lina

"I hate the colors brown and black, long noses and trannies"

Your self description might have sth to do with it.

@HeavenlyPossum

They don't have to torture. They know all that shit already. Big data.

@youronlyone @jikodesu

very well written. thanks.

@AnarchoNinaWrites

Rock on.

My snitch is pissed at me again. The first thing he did to break the ice after the last time i chewed him a new asshole for harm caused by willful ignorance was show me a video of a "migrant caravan". Bang! Another tongue-lashing.

We need to smack that shit down even if the promoters of seem decent otherwise.

Let's make it shameful to be a hater in public again.

@AnarchoNinaWrites

I recently noticed that a lot of republicans admit to not liking trump, they support him because they're scared of violence. They're scared of his chuds.

That in a nutshell is the difference between the sides in the culture war. Threaten a liberal and it just pisses us off worse. We spine up, not fold.

@MicroSFF

Somebody might've read "Guards! Guards!"

@inthehands

That was pretty freaking awesome.

I'd like you to string it together in one piece and post somewhere. If you have the time.

I'd email it to an old teacher i know.

@AnarchoNinaWrites

My cousin (or sth, my family is fupped) is open and unapologetic in his desire to sit alone and drink himself to death.

I can't fault him.

@dogweapon

I see the question as even bigger.

Why is violence ok but sex isn't?

Ans: if you didn't turn everyone against their own sexuality, nobody would be diffusely angry enough to kill strangers. And then who would fight in the wars?

Any society that didn't rape everything on two legs as young as possible got exterminated by one that did centuries ago.

@RickiTarr

I had a woman insist i not microwave her snack at the coffeeshop where i was a barrista because microwaves agitate the molecules, which you then ingest, which then agitate the /actual molecules of your body/.

A little science can be a dangerous thing.
