I am over you

[seal]

..if you post youtube links and "free market" think tank articles dressed up as "research" in your mission to discourage universal health care. And yet I post fact check links that show that the material is skewed or taken out of context at best, or outright lying at worst. The level of fear and stupidity is reaching maximum density in political communities in the US.

..if you're a woman who claim that you get along with men better and don't ever analyze your own motives for why that is. These type of girls are mostly, with the rare exception, predictable and, I'm sorry to say, fairly clueless.

...if you're a bureaucrat and sport a lazy brain. Bureaucracy can be a beautiful thing, but when it's lazy it becomes the fictional product of Franz Kafka, and my name becomes Josef K.

...if you're the type of individual who say that you need to "think about yourself and not so much about other people". This usually means that you in reality rarely think about other things than your own arse, and your own arse probably take up a lot of your brain capacity.

...if you're a nerd and claim that girls don't read comics or roleplay or whathaveyou, because girls don't go to conventions as much as guys and dispose themselves to sweaty sexist dipshits.

...if you are a fan of the PUA culture or take part of it.

One week in Sweden, one week of errands and fixing, sporadic internet, many cats (pictures will come later), surreal academic endeavors (last word on this topic isn't said yet), surreal meetings with people from the past, two assholes, one who's just married to one and the rest were all nice encounters. I've started re-watching Babylon 5 on my little portable dvd player late at night when work and social play is done, and it's nice, very nostalgic and still enjoyable in spite of silly moments.

Computer labs with hairy cats at northernveil's and pierson's this afternoon and hanging with hairless cats later, parties and people for a bit, but also a lot of calm a lot of loss and some disappointment. A more explicit and perhaps filtered post may come on a LJ near you in the future.

Nice to have you so close.

My big one: I have nothing against gays, I just don't think you should be allowed to be married or that our kids should be taught about you in schools...

I LOVE me some B5!!!

Wow. You sound a tad bit stressed. Hope things improve soon.

The health care debate seems to have been hijacked by screaming, Republican-backed astroturfers, but the real culprit for the spread of misinformation is the US Media, who have failed miserably. I look at it this way: about 50% of Americans want a strong public option. About 25% will never accept it until they see how much of an improvement it will be. The other 25% have questions, such as how we will pay for it, that can easily be answered by better Media coverage. Obama and the Dems are about to make a huge mistake and compromise when compromise is completely unnecessary.

I used to be one of those. But that was a long while ago, and I didn't really know a lot of really nice females, people like you and Rachel and some other good friends of mine. I had a lot of bad experiences with female "friends", up until a couple of years after I got out of high school. To be fair, in hindsight, my male friends really weren't better; with a couple of exceptions, they were nice to me because I was the "rare" female nerd. (Yes, I read your other comment about that, and it annoys me, too. I really enjoyed an essay someone wrote called, "I'm not a geek for you!")

Warmth & hugs

Hairless cats: I haven't figured out yet whether I think they are amazing, or creepy. Does petting them feel like petting a warm suede jacket?

[jinxle.livejournal.com]

Oh, I just love you! *smooch*

speak truth, my friend!!

As an aside, my wife is a woman who gets along better with men, but she is very self-aware, and I assume you are calling out a certain kind of "blindness" in some women rather than suggesting that it's wrong for women to get along better with men as a general rule.

i'm so glad people like you exist.

There are very few things more delightful than opening up LJ and finding a new Seal post. ☺☺☺

You rock, sister.

I sit here in utter confusion, looking at the American media in jaw-dropped disbelief. You can stand and scream "black is white! up is down! left is right!" as loudly as you want, but it doesn't make it so. How can anyone fail to see the emperor has no clothes here? The rest of the world looks at America amazed (not for the first time).
