tl;dr: Yes you can become a Nazi, if the seed is there to begin with.

Everyone has dark thoughts and urges deep in their heart, and everyone has biases and prejudices to overcome. Most of us are able to balance and control these things. We learn and grow, see our own faulty reasoning over time, and allow compassion and empathy to see others as we see ourselves. I think Kanye is an example of wealth allowing unregulated behavior, combined with spiraling mental health, to amplify those prejudices and dark thoughts into twisted new beliefs.

I’m not trying to make excuses for Mr West. His behavior is reprehensible. I can also see how someone who is already borderline narcissistic gets their pride reinforced through creative success. I can see how a man who is part of an oppressed minority would be suspicious of those with more power and influence. And i can see how those factors could be amplified as that person becomes wealthier, more successful in their pursuits, and less beholden to other’s social mores.

I think conservatorships are problematic and easily abused. I also think Kanye needs the boundaries a conservatorship could place on him. He’s obviously unwell. I know him, because I have a friend just like him, only poor. My friend doesn’t blame “the Jews”, but they are not happy, even when well medicated. And when they spiral, it’s ugly

BTW, I don’t always agree with you Squid, but I’m still glad you escaped the US. Wishing you and your family the best

Joshua Dean had a memory keen

He was strong and he ran every day

But his lungs turned to goo And he had a stroke too

At 46, he was sent on his way

Oh, and Swampy Barnett loved his mama

And he took a lot of pride in his work

He found 300 reasons why a plane couldn’t fly

And now he’s over his head in the dirt

You can know a lot

You can know a little

But whatever you know

Just don’t blow the whistle

++???++ Out of Cheese Error. Redo From Start.

I’ve got one job to do this morning, which should take me a couple of hours to complete. Then I’ll do tax prep paperwork for a couple more hours, then go over to my elderly parents and replace one of their toilets.

Once I do that I’ll come home and post about my day on DullMensClub

Carrot left the mines at 16, when he couldn’t grow much of a beard. His early days on the watch with Colin the Traditionalist would have required being clean shaven. By the time Cuddy joined Carrot likely was set and comfortable being clean shaven. As to why he continues to shave, you’d have to ask him (or possibly Angua)

However! That doesn’t make him D’rzka any more than being human by birth would. He can properly ha’lk his g’rakha, and is, in every way that matters, a dwarf.

(Ask me more about the discworld) ^•^

Lord of the Rings, Appendix A: Durin’s Folk

[Female dwarves are] in voice and appearance, and in garb if they must go on a journey, so like to the dwarf-men that the eyes and ears of other peoples cannot tell them apart.

(Yes yes, JRRT waffled on this. But come on! This is good lore, let’s keep it)

The real issue is not the existence of darker skinned dwarves.

The issue is beardless dwarves.

There is no canon reason why Tolkien’s dwarves couldn’t all be bearded like Pratchett’s dwarfs, and thus it must be.

This is my hill and I will die on it

I’m not sure, I’m using documents produced by a larger org. The message I get if i try to edit the locked parts is:

The author has locked parts of this document. You can make changes only to the unlocked parts.

Btw i tried using Google docs on these Word files and the formatting broke in all kinds of terrible ways.

I know the idea here is to maintain consistent branding among the franchises. Anything sent back to the parent org needs to be in docx format, with no changes to the locked elements. If that can be done with a FOSS program, great! Local use has more leeway, but broken formatting is a nonstarter

One of the organizations I work with uses Word docs with locked fields. How does only office do with that style of chestnut?

Waaaaiiiiit a minute, Pee-wee Herman was gay!? Next you’ll be telling me Freddie Mercury was gay! Or Lance Bass!

The runway-numbers drop the LAST, not the 1st, numeral,

Yes, thank you, i meant what you wrote, but said the opposite. A not infrequent error, sadly

I had forgotten about the battery backup. I’m not sure what the law is in S. Korea and surrounding countries. If the accident plane only flew in Asia and none of the destination countries required that equipment they may not have had backup batteries for the CVR/FDR. Dunno about any of that tho

Everybody else has their camera off

I miss these. There’s many a day that i wish I had one of these vents on my work van

I used to do the tip pour to get the last drops out of the fuel pump head. But i still had drop going down the side of my car, so i started shaking the nozzle as i tipped it.

That being said, i still occasionally get drips from the nozzle. At this point I think I’m going to have to find the fuel pump’s taint and press on it while squeezing the hose. I guess the pumps in my area are reaching middle age

Is this dialysis? Or a high percentage transfusion?

The only way this makes sense medically to me is if they are filtering the pfas out of the blood or doing blood replacement.

GNU Terry Pratchett

I don’t think I would introduce someone to NG’s work if they were unfamiliar with him. So in that sense, yes, talking about them gives them relevance. However, i disagree that pirating in some way benefits the artist. Promotion does.

Where I do see an alignment with Sir Terry is from Reaper Man. Until the person’s works come to a finish, they continue to live. The thing is, will they live on loved, like Terry Pratchett, or hated, like Jimmy Saville. I didn’t believe in hell. But I think, particularly for an artist or entertainer, the knowledge that after you die your memory will be hated, well, that’s a living hell of it’s own for a certain type of person. I genuinely hope Harvey Weinstein the rapist is one of those people.

But back to the point. I’m not paying anything in mental energy if I watch Sandman again. If NG is a cunt, it doesn’t change the fact that Morpheus, Lord of the Dreaming, is a BAMF and I’ll watch the shit out of his show

Perhaps the first impeached and arrested under the rule of law and not by coup, revolt, assassination, or regime change?

I dunno, this isn’t Star Wars so I know very little about it

🟩 me when accosted by an irate middle aged woman while exiting the pointlessly gendered single seat bathroom (I am a fully housebroken husband)

ETA: by housebroken I mean i sit when i pee and clean up anything left on the bowl or seat that flushing doesn’t handle. It’s just good manners
