I believe in love, all the way through. And while I live will help every man, woman, and the betweenities to win, obtain, intensify, deepen, purify, strengthen and keep it, and I will help all others to do the same. There! That’s me! I mean it!

As someone who has been... Pondering... My gender for a while, I vote we bring back the term betweenities. Unless it has some horrible history I'm not familiar with.

Our moon has a moonmoon, it's just tidally locked to the dark side of the moon. That's where the moon landing really happened. They say it was a moon landing, but that's impossible because the moon is, in fact, a flat disc with one face facing us. You'd slide right off it. But the moonmoon is a sphere, a hollow sphere. So the moon landing was really a moonmoon landing, and that's where the US built the space base that they gave to China after Nixon visited. That's where all the frozen Chinese food in the supermarket comes from. From inside the hollow moonmoon, that's what they use it for. That's also why the Chinese food in the supermarket is frozen. Because space is cold.

On top of that, if it's a remote job and they're not all congregated in one room, harder to have a Jan. 6 type moment. Better for national security.

Jesus Christ, I'd honestly forgotten about the uncap the house movement, but it reminds me of all the shit we're missing out on. We'd be a different country. Imagine knowing your congressperson personally? Seeing them at the grocery store. Being able to to speak to them. Hell, imagine from their point of view, being able to run for election and only having to worry about 30k voters/constituents, and tailoring campaigns to the areas you represent. Id they did it, I'd run, even in my conservative ass area, because at that point you can appeal to voters based on the things that actually plague their communities, instead of bullshit scare tactics and nationwide/statewide issues. I'm surrounded by MAGA morons, but in campaigns that small, you could win this area with a campaign based on legal weed, road construction and a push to make sure the factories around here can stay in business.

I've watched that one. Tale of the Goose Gobler was seriously compelling

I'm gay, in a county where most of the play is deeply closeted guys who can't host and want a blowjob in the woods. You kneel on a pinecone a few times, you find yourself investing in kneepads. Lol

Pre code movies are amazing. My mom watches a ton of them on YouTube, and I'll watch a lot of the time, too. They're genuinely hilarious to watch a lot of the time, because they showcase just how much hasn't changed. You feel like, because of media, we practically invented a lot of stuff in the last generation or two, only to watch Mae west talk about mirrors on her ceiling or Marlene Dietrich dress in dress.

Your spirit was willing but your flesh was spongy and bruised, I take it

Oh! As in, should you be an outside observer, and grabbing the whole planet, you'd be able to feel houses on its surface if it were the size of a golf ball?

Presumably you'd feel like crushing under your fingers like the hairs on a kiwi lol

uncap the house... make congressperson a remote job, keep them in their districts.

I can't say that's my ideal solution (as it doesn't involve completely rewriting our constitution), but that's honestly the best solution we have to most of our problems. Completely uncap, remote congress, 1 per 30k. At that point, we'd be pretty close to a real democracy. There's no reason why it couldn't be a remote job. Stay in your fucking district where we can yell at you when you fuck up. In fact, there should be a law about how many days per year they can be out of their district. Live with, work with, know the people you represent. And with that many congressional reps, it'd be hard as hell to bribe enough of them.

I'm sure there's some actual science thing they're referencing here, but I don't understand it. Who can't feel houses?
