it's a shame that housing supply is a cause that only seems to appeal to policy wonks when it's like. at a society-killing level of bad in most of the Anglosphere. anyone with any level of passion just doesn't seem to be interested, or is actively on the NIMBY side

i think this is much less true now than 10 years ago and also depends a lot on where you are-- eg I live in a DC suburb and afaict more than half of the local candidates in recent primaries were at least trying to pitch themselves as being pro-supply (even if they secretly weren't -- there's so little actual local journalism that I trust, sometimes the only way to find out is basically by watching city council meetings yourself and seeing what people actually say). For some reason the YIMBY narrative seems to be mostly #winning even though the actual candidates aren't sweeping yet (but winning a substantial fraction of the seats!)

you disagreed w me in an intellectually honest way. we're friends now.

I Defeated the Demon Lord but it Turns Out the Demon Army was Largely Unaffected and I Fell Victim to a Flawed Belief in Great Man Theory

I Executed The Demon Lord With One Flawless Strike And After A Brief Power Struggle The New Demon Government Is Substantially More Committed To The War Because Of Some Reason I Don't Know

I Successfully Overthrew The Demon Lord And Instituted Demon Democracy But They Voted For A Commie So The CIA Not Some Fantasy Equivalent The Actual CIA Who Have Known About Magic And Alternate Realms The Whole Damn Time But Won't Just Unisekai Me Launched A Counter Coup And That's When Things Really Went To Shit

#INSANEEEEE INSANE#you get 2 minutes......#thinks about sandra “I played [stratt] as the softest girl in the world” hüller#he challenges her. can you be fully human? from his house of glass of self isolation and victimisation and pity#as if her heart doesn't ache with it. as if she doesn't love humanity she's ready to die for it. as if it doesn't break her heart#as if he doesn't force her to shatter it entirely by refusing to rise to responsibility himself#STRATTTTTTTTT

At the dragon boat races they were giving out free ice cream and these two kids came up to me and showed me their ice cream and said it is very cold! And then one of them put their ice cream on my arm so I could see for myself. He was utilizing an advanced technique called. Backing up your claims with evidence. Which many of you could learn about

so ive been meaning to do this poll for a while because my hypothesis is that seattle is the most Tumblr city, likely in the entire world. tumblr has a huge american majority userbase obviously, but just for comparison going forward, only 0.22% of the american population lives in seattle. as of this reblog, this poll is showing 4% of respondents are seattleites. given, this isnt scientific at all, because my blog just has a lot of seattle connections and seattle followers, but it's still an impressive bias

we desperately need sex 2

i just know someone's going to mention kink. girl that's still sex 1. we had to invent BDSM cause we didn't have sex 2. tis but a pale reflection. but it's coming

kink reaches mayyybe like sex 1.3 if it hits just right

when sex 2 comes out what sorts of quality of life updates will be included to help draw in people who never really got into sex 1

more pleasurable. more intellectually stimulating. higher skill ceiling. more dynamic metagame. optionally more mental-emotional alignment between parties. less cleanup. more intuitive. more variety in sensation and activity to match diverse sensory tendencies. smoother integration with parties' coupled emotional processing. and so on

Watching how its made after having worked at a factory is such a different experience. Im looking at all those rollers and mechanisms and whatever and just keep thinking. Wow. I just know this thing breaks every day and is a pain in the ass to clean

did a bit of driving through the state of georgia today and wound up driving through a small town that i later discovered was called newborn, which is an odd name but doesn’t technically have anything wrong with it, except for the fact that i nearly gave myself whiplash doing a double-take at a building sign advertising NEWBORN TAXIDERMY

I imagine rocky puts grace's amnesia problems down as a "probably normal for humans, they forget stuff all the time" thing for a while and it doesn't set in until maybe a year into the erid trip that, no, losing straight up All of your memories for several months is just about as concerning and unusual for a human as it would be for an eridian. and his immediate reaction is twofold: 1. "you. you were that brain-unhealthy for the entire time we were working together and you just. barely ever mentioned it? Why. Question." 2. [sudden recollection of every time he got short of temper and said something bitchy like "lazy human not know how own ship function" or "how grace forget location of basic controls question"] [curls up on the floor in embarrassment] "should have said something so I not spend two months making fun of brain injuryyy"

#I KNOWWWWW i remember reading the line where he insulted him for not knowing how his ship worked and being like DUDE give him a break???#it's out of pocket regardless i mean he's the science specialist not an engineer or a pilot#but just. rocky#rocky....#rocky
