Well,

Ok well, I haven’t had that kind of success. But success none the less.

I used to think this. Then I went on some dates, I made connections, etc.

But only once I started paying. The apps are built to maximize profit.

Hinge > Boo > Tinder > Bumble.

Gouda is a safe bet.

That’s almost impossible to do over text.

Almost.

So I talk to them how I talk to my friends with a lot more enthusiastism.

That ends up where I start just turning into an essay writer and I have overwhelmed at 6 in the past year.

So maybe not normal talk either.

Not the whole house, no. The house as a whole was pretty legit. But Baron Harkonnen, (which is interesting we only get his title) was a monster. And a pedophile. And grossly unhealthy. An ultimate backstabber. Traded intellect for cleverness. Power and wealth hungry, fuck all the rest types.

They are almost indistinguishable, other than Trump appears to be able to support his own weight.

I wonder if Ellison can sue for the evidence, and if the evidence is gone if he can bring criminal indictments against DoJ/DHS individuals

If I get fired for expressing my state of mind being less effective because my friends and clients are not white US natural born citizens, so be it. Yeah, it’s fucking stressful. But I will not be silent when people are being sent to concentration camps, citizens are being murdered, and a PMC is profiting off each kidnapping.

I won’t debate it. I won’t call a coworker a Nazi fuck to their face. But I will not be silenced when this horrifying shit is going on.

I have privilege as a WASP. Yes it’s a risk. Yes I have family.

But I will not be silent.

So it’s interesting you say that - because I tried doing some faceswap stuff with Trump and Baron Harkkonen and it was extremely time consuming, took forever to install, and the results were disappointing.

So there’s another aspect too: these people have absolutely nothing else going on!

Unless they have a signed JUDICIAL warrant with your name and address on it, that door remains shut.

I wish for him to step on a Lego.

Well, yes. I agree on that. But it’s what we have. And it’s exactly why they move fast and break things.

They’re hoping to demoralize the American public to get further power.

Doesn’t do anything? Have you been ignoring the news?

Know what, no here.

Looks like litigation is doing something.

I’m making sure my friends are travelling in groups. If they don’t have 4 in public I worry they will be next.

They are both authoritarian. Both are pretty much identical to me. Authoritarians are just the fucking worst in any aspect.

SE Minnesota is weird. There’s pockets of conservatives then REALLY blue areas. But the further west you go, it’s all MAGAt territory. Thankfully not nearly as populated but fucked up none the less.

Alright so I got all sorts of flavors of ice cream: leather, snakeskin, suede, we might have a container of gator skin in back.

So the plumber would be like part time gestapo for money and power and the be a plumber too?

I guess that kind of makes sense. I was all stressing over what happens to the people we need to do shit for us. But I guess thinking through that lens - I would have to be doing something for the regime wouldn’t I?

I do know “aryan professionals” were only eligible for better pay and promotion if they were active party members. Engineers and professors could only work on State projects if they were a party member. I assume the same applied to electricians and plumbers - people wouldn’t hire you unless you were a party member as that was “safer”.

18.2m were conscripted into the Whermact for 2 year obligations. Almost a quarter of the population in 1930s?

So life was really “war” or “assist the war effort.” I guess part of that war effort would be the service jobs. Fuck.

But that’s the thing. The conformance to what social norms? How did a plumber know he was conforming to everything expected of him?

He was white? He was employed? He didn’t speak out or help? Otherwise he just accepted that the Gestapo were going to beat his neighbor across the street nearly to death?

There was no written law regarding how two people greet each other, but it was magically determined to be the heil Hitler thing? What happened to already divorced women? What happened to already divorced men? Existing and new couples were forbidden from divorce. Women were the ones allowed to take care of children. They surely must have realized that one false step meant the end of their road? Did no one talk to each other?

Yes, clearly that happened. But it tells me fuck all about what daily life was like.
