My namesake is a human librarian that was turned into an orangutan. All he says is "Ook" and can traverse the library stacks with great ease. He is happy.

I have a pretty strange knowledge set. I'm not super friendly, but I like to get high and link people to stuff. Just pretend I said only "ook"

    I'd say it is now that you helped.

  • I hope she did. Let her have a silver lining.

  • What's the most unrelatable song lyric?

    Jump

  • The lyric "I'm not angry/ I'm just saying" struck me the same way. It's weird to be nonchalant in song form.

  • Bruh italy is just a fucking awesome place.

    The problem is that Italy is also an awesome fucking place.

  • I will claim that an orang-utan is often mistaken to be an orangutan, but is in fact a cousin of Gorilla gorilla called Gorilla otang-utan.

    That's because I have found that I was wrong, there is a character limit, orangutan is a long word, and I'm a retconning wanker.

  • I'm not sure if you mean for me to take that personally. But I did take that personally. I laughed anyway, totally agree.

  • Texas' standoff with the feds in Eagle Pass is igniting calls for secession and fears of violence

    Jump

  • I'm happy to hang out in the "no, you won't" camp with. But the support the idea of a Texit lately is markedly ramped up. (The idea was never without support.) Part of me kinda suspects that some of the "think tank" minds are worried about losing Texas in the general mostly due to the overturning Roe still hanging over their heads.

    If Texas is purple while CA is solid blue, then everyone will hate the Electoral College. The "think tank" conservatives can't have that.

    So I agree, secession is unlikely, but IMO that's because it isn't a ballot initiative like Brexit. Not because the people saying it aren't serious.

  • Are we all just too proud to start identifying first and foremost as a masturbator?

  • I like that. I usually hear that setup from anti-dentites.

  • Texas' standoff with the feds in Eagle Pass is igniting calls for secession and fears of violence

    Jump

  • I'm a bit worried that the plan for the secessionists is to do something so spectacular (literally) as to try to cause there to be good reason to "pause to election".

    Just so then, they can prove Biden to be a dictator, and actually have an argument. Pausing an election would be truly unsettling.

    So if there is a crisis about Electoral College stating of states close to November, that's a powder-keg situation.

    I'm honestly not claiming we need to avoid this kind of crisis. Just saying be careful what you wish for.

  • You know what? It's kinda nice that it may come down to mainstream culture to bring this poison down. It just highlights how different our culture is from our politics. I'm not sure I have point.

  • Dude almost lost his life

    Jump

  • It was just a dude answering questions he was asked. I don't want to hang out with the guy.

    I get a little worried about calling something like that "sexual assault". It plays into the "can't say anything anymore" crowd's hands.

  • Dude almost lost his life

    Jump

  • That wasn't sexual assault. If you want a lesson to take away for what he actually did wrong here: he attacked the reason for rejection. It's a natural thing to do. But that's really the only thing wrong here.

    Going in for a peck is fine. Planting one before they react wouldn't be. But taking rejection gracefully is nearly impossible. Let's try to be better.
