I always ask my wife if she wants to hate me when I put something big in my pockets. Last weekend was comic con. I carried a whole-ass nalgene bottle in one of my pockets.

I need to get me a sword. Good thing ren faire is next weekend.

Idk, it was 105° yesterday and I sure as hell didn't feel like committing any crimes that didn't involve cold showers and AC.

That's the great thing about lazy coworkers: they make the rest of us look really good by comparison.

These are the kind of things they don't teach you in American history classes.

I'd go to this wedding in a heartbeat.

Merry Christmas in July, everyone

Ziti the Kenyan sand boa tax. Thank you all for stopping by, and I hope you enjoyed or suffered appropriately.

#28 Co-worker once asked why I was sitting at my desk with my face a couple inches from the screen. Told her I broke my glasses the previous night and they were being repaired at the shop down the street. She asked how I got to work (40mi drive into downtown Phoenix.) Told her, "I drove. The big blurs were cars, the little blurs were probably motorcycles, and anything else was pretty much on its own..." She backed out slowly... Well, the blur got smaller and I couldn't hear her anymore.

Hey, you gotta do what you gotta do. It's a good thing none of the big blurs came at you with flashing red and blue blurs

Racism is the belief in racial superiority I'm not sure I see that there

2 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 2

Second name in the left column is an overt stereotype name that would've been considered crass decades ago. Racism manifests in more than just overt "white power" bullshit, there's subtler ways too - not that this is even remotely subtle.

Not to mention the "weaponization" of autism. Both of these speak to the creator's beliefs quite a bit.

#14 I use an app called How We Feel to name and explore my emotions as needed, and it records the weather at the time I log a feeling. I looked at graphs of the last three months and all my high energy negative records occurred at high temps (above 80F), and all of my positive records or plain lowkey sad records occurred at temps below 80F. I’m curious to see how it goes throughout the summer and into autumn/winter.

#28 the number of patients that I've seen that have told me they don't want to wear glasses because then they feel like they get dependent on them is bonkers. Worse when it's a kid and a parent says they don't want them to wear them because it's going to make their vision worse and then they'll have to wear them long term- people are... confusing.

#36 there was an extremely brief slice of time where swords were so good, and guns were so inaccurate and slow to reload, they were basically on a level playing field. These conditions are favorable to weebing

As I recall, Oda Nobunaga used guns for an advantage then prohibited them after he won. In the 1800s farmers had to request permission to use firearms to kill wild boar in Hokkaido that devoured their crops (Lost Wolves of Japan by Bret Walker).

Fun period of time when you got the early cuirassiers, schwarze reiters, and demi-lancers who just went into battle with 3 to 5 loaded guns shoot all of them once, and then leveled their lances and charged.

The Highland charge as well! One of the reasons some commanders thought the plug bayonet was a better weapon than the musket itself.

2 years ago | Likes 10 Dislikes 0

Swords didn't really compete with guns, though. Bows and crossbows did. Swords were used militarily into the early 1900's.

Plus the four hundredish years of coexistence between samurai and firearms covers a wide range of attitudes. The sengoku jidai is a very different situation to the most isolationist extremes of the edo period.

Swords were never even the best non-firearm weapon. That title belongs to spears/polearms. If you can reliably put a hole in the other guy before he can even try to put a hole in you then you have a huge upper hand.

2 years ago | Likes 10 Dislikes 1

I think it depends on the type of combat. Lined up in ranks? Sure. One on one type skirmishes, I think the spear/pole arm isn't nimble enough to beat a sword

2 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Nope spear and polearms will beat a sword even one on one. A sword is like a pistol they are easier to carry and keep on you daily. It’s not what you would want if you had a choice.

#13 Each of the four corners has one flagpole flying five flags. Or, each corner has five minarets, each with one flagpole flying one flag .

2 years ago | Likes 23 Dislikes 1

Read it again. It unambiguously states that the castle has 5 flags, not each corner having 5 flags.

The simplest solution is 3 of the minarets have 1 flag, and the 4th minaret flies 2 flags.

2 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Ah, but "its five flags" could mean "the five flags that represent the castle," not, "the only five flags on the premises."

Or the corners meet at the center to make up the roof so there's a flag in each corner of the square plus the pointy center.

#30 nah we should all be doing the BFM(bare fucking minimum) . Technically meet the standard of duties as described in their Ken literature, they are doing that to you. I inherently work at a fast pace and I know it’s only fucked me more than anything. I’ve conditioned myself over the years to slow down to a speed that matches my hourly pay, which I weigh against average costs of survival, not cost of living(which is an insane fucking term we just started allowing), but cost of SURVIVAL. 1/

If what I make in a month isn’t remotely proportionate to cost of not dying, they will get what they pay for.

I should specify this refers to service industry jobs, retail, anything where they can milk your desperation until your udders go dry and you go to the abbatoir and the guy you trained takes your spot and your stress.

You know the Christmas tradition of putting an elf on a shelf and moving it around your house? If not, it is in fact a thing. But "elf" is how you pronounce "11" in German. Might also be how you spell it, but I don't know off the top of my head.
