Brave Little Hitachi Wand

Hell yeah it do

My COVID splurge was a 12" milled cast iron pan that’s smooth as hell. Eggs slide on this baby. I would carry it up a mountain if I knew someone at the top had butter.

You say that as if women haven’t been treated like property in nearly every society ever since we learned how to farm

Yes, and in the land of automatics no less, and on a '99 Celica GT. It was mom’s car, but I drove it like it was mine.

Picking up some groceries

Good god, y’all

Enough horny can temporarily deactivate the part of the brain that doesn’t want to be gross and weird.

You’ll just have to look at sexy dudes to copy

Honestly if you’re sane enough to find that funny, asterisk, for the right reasons, they could use more like you

It takes two to tango. If you feed people like babies, they will shit in diapers.

Campbell’s work is valuable and interesting, but I like it better as a lens for modern media rather than as some grand unified theory of human culture.

Yeah that’s part of it. That’s one specific mechanism by which our culture is in the hands of people with perverse incentives.

Sorry, I’m usually funnier

Here’s a medium take, most of human culture across its history has consisted of the same stories told anew. The only problem now is that the gatekeepers of our culture are moneyed interests, and the influence of shareholder interests and oligarchs means we end up watching the colour and life fade from our culture in realtime as capitalism declines.

Up until recent comments, my emotions were mild irritation leavened with my own brand of slightly caustic humour. That clearly hasn’t worked out, and so I am reverting to a more neutral tone. No more jokes, just information.

My view on the matter has purely been a matter of taste, and different people have been trying to make it a matter of ableism. Other people have different preferences and tastes. I like jokes to be funny, and explaining them makes them suck in my opinion. I think that’s pretty self-explanatory, and I’ve done my best to be clear on this point.

You’ve been ascribing various untrue feelings, attitudes, and conditions to me in search of a way to litigate your own preferences. That is an unpleasant way to be treated. I’ve tried my best to be funny, and then civil, and my warning now is that we’re nearing the end of civility.

I already said right at the top - explained jokes aren’t as funny. De gustibus nil disputandem.

Perhaps a little disputandem though, in my experience…

That or actually processing my emotions with humour rather than externalising that anger by playing the victim, either orther.

The example would be more perfect if I was allistic, but it’s very tidy otherwise.

That’s how I heard it too, but I go out of my way not to repeat myself. Repeating anything just feels like touching someone else’s used… Skeet blanket

You know what would have been really unexpected, is if I went on Lemmy and said “explaining jokes is boring and lame” and multiple people didn’t run up and write paragraphs at me.

And look, I’m not saying we’re all autistic here, but we have a brand. I know it wasn’t going to be a great chat, but maybe don’t ask strangers to patronise and respect you.

Alright. I’ve never seen it happen though.
