Your user name makes this extra sinister.

Here we are:

And way less fun to vacation on. I mean, depending on preferences.

*bemused and distant* …yeah.

My idiot brain read this as "an-TIP-po-pees."

Invisible Man 2: Battle Gay-ol?

"'Doggo does a graduate!' It's grammatically incorrect, you see—like a dog might write!"

This really can't be stressed enough. They have a bone-deep narrative that enforces that corruption is universal, underreported, and that everyone who thinks Trump is deleterious to the country is a hypocrite. I have to deal with this too, and it's scary: they have a different reality from us, not just a different set…

I'd argue it's even worse—it's like saying "well, I like all foods at Golden Corral, except for the red and blue foods" (only with a class-based and racial component). "Country" and "rap" are such hilariously broad categories that they're almost meaningless, although useful for weeding out people who can discount…

You're too good at this. I can't tell whether I want you to stop, or sign a $79,000 recording contract.

I saw them last month. Good jesus, they brought the place down and played for three hours. It was amazing. But yeah, some Drive-By Truckers, some Ashley Monroe, and above all, Becky Warren, puts the lie to "modern country is garbage."

These are good, good picks. Also, thanks for putting Purity Ring—I adore them, although their follow-up didn't thrill me. Check out "25 Bucks" if you're interested in some modern hip-hop.

You seen it today? They're going in the other direction now. I expect a return back to absurdist center by the end of next week.

Yeah, their issue isn't with sex as a healthy function of mutual attraction, but as another form of social competition, and, as you say, the gay community doesn't need that. There's not much that can be done with people that see empathy as a weakness and sex as a power struggle, except expose them to healthy ideas and…

Feel no shame—Liz says "I wolfed my teamster sub for you!"

Sorry—that's a skill I have, to explain in a way that's only helpful to me. The Obfuscator lives! No, they claim to be voluntarily aromantic, because all human society is designed to imprison men in male-female pairings. Some of them frequent prostitutes, which they'll tell you about in GREAT detail.

Honestly, they'd be happier were that the case.

The core irony of Randian ideology is that Galting may be going on all around us, it's just that you'd never notice because the "valuable" folks'd keep it quiet.
