She exchanged woman’s for man’s attire, and, no longer the most modest of maidens, began the life of a warlike rover. Enrolling in her service many maidens who were of the same mind, she happened to come to a spot where a band of rovers were lamenting the death of their captain, who had been lost in war; they made her their rover captain.

what do the initials spell? (I was *this close* to being DMV)

what are the the different abbreviations/contractions/etc? (Michael Hunt, William Stroker, Richard Small, etc)

So when we say "Mormons are white supremacists," we don't mean that your statistically average Mormon is more likely to ascribe to white supremacy than the average non-Mormon. We mean that white supremacy is baked in to the foundations of the religion. That Mormonism is a white supremacist organization. That those who practice it, at best, are not bothered by that fact enough to leave

Now, I grew up Mormon. Untill I was 25 I was what was called a Peter Priesthood, which is a Mormon who's so Mormon the other Mormons make fun of him for it. So I have a lot of sympathy for individuals manipulated by the Mormon church's cult tactics into sticking to that belief system. I get it, I get how powerful all that stuff is from first hand experience.

Push no further, my child, for here is your food 🩷

You might know him from a thread where he was getting wowed by free appetisers in a Mexican restaurant.

Firstly: He is doing a bit pretending to be a wandering samurai. It's a joke and his posts are all made up. This is very obvious if you actually look at his account and website:

He does purport to be Japanese but based on some of the other content he posts there's reason to believe he's British.

Which brings me to my second point: his Samurai content is interspersed with posts like this:

And this:

Yeah this is also the guy from the truck thread going around. That's what prompted this post and in retrospect I should have said so explicitly.

He claims he just uses AI to translate his posts from Japanese. He also says the art on his website isn't AI generated. I think he is full of shit on both counts.

I only gave a couple of examples but even on a brief look through his twitter it was apparent that he posts a LOT about UK politics to the point where he's quite patently British. He is a Restore supporter which is a party that split away from mainstream far right party Reform due to feeling they weren't right wing enough.

It might not surprise you to hear he does not seem to know shit about Japan? Both the salsa story and the truck story failed the smell test for people who are familiar with Japan. There's also a story about going to a potluck where he seemingly couldn't come up with a single Japanese dish for the character to cook??

Why should I recycle used clothing and household textiles?

Clothing and household textiles currently make up 6.3 % of the waste stream or the equivalent of 81 pounds per person thrown away annually in the US. Nearly 95% of used clothing and textiles can be reused and recycled. You can help reduce the amount of clothing and textile products going into landfills by reusing or recycling these materials.

please note how even on a charity recycling website, even though it gets it right that textile waste is equivalent to 81 pounds per person, even though it doesn’t make the usual error of saying that consumers are throwing that much away themselves, it still skips directly to assuming that you, yourself, as an individual, can do a damn thing about those 81 pounds you yourself actually have no access to whatsoever.

also for reference as to how much 81 pounds of textile weight is, a pair of decently made, heavyweight jeans can be about one pound. eighty one pounds of clothes waste per year is three pairs of jeans thrown in the trash every two weeks.
