So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.

The thing that's always frustrated me about anarchists (from what you've written, I'm assuming that's you) is that you imagine groups of people will just *do* things, collectively, for the betterment of all. And that will work. Humans have way too much of the "what's in it for me?" gene for that to work on any kind of scale. I mean, hell, sit through any HOA meeting ever held...
@RickiTarr @AirlockDoc Probably not *the* dumbest thing, but up there: I had a shithead stepfather who was into civil war re-enactments. This meant we had black powder lying around the place. One day, I was at home alone and bored, so I did what any normal kid would do: I made a bomb out of a toilet paper roll, tape, and black powder. Realized I didnβt have a way to close the top of the bomb and fashion a fuse, so I decided to set the tube of black powder down in the middle of our big green plastic trash can and toss matches in until I landed one in the tube. Hard to do, right?
I hit the tube on the second try.
There was a BA-FOOF! and then a huge column of smoke started pouring out of the can. I quickly slammed the lid on the can, but smoke still seeped out of the cracks the explosion had made in the sides.
Didnβt get caught, and thatβs what matters.
This is what happens with "family values" when you're a fascist, and this is exactly where the USA is heading.

My phone is set to screen any call from a number that isn't in my contact list. It does that before ringing. At the end of the day I usually have 2-3 hang-up calls in the log that I never heard anything about.
I'm a big fan of technology making my life easier.

You won't like me when I'm angry. But I always check my facts first.
I'm The Credible Hulk.

On this I must be slightly closer to baseline. I welcome touch, but only from people I know well and trust. That's a very small list. With people I don't know, I can endure it, for a short time. With people I know but don't trust, it's torture.
Most people don't, if that's what you're asking.
You're picturing something more visceral?

I get what you're saying, but when I went from walking 5 miles a day, for exercise, to using a walker. It was a shock to my system. I was never more relieved than the day my doctor told me I didn't need to use it anymore.
You joke, but they really were.
@ScottSoCal Yes, me too, but I guess intolerance is intolerance regardless of if you're trying to expose sickness and evil. Like I said in a post, I was forced to delete. Words are only as powerful as the reader makes them. If you go through life thinking you're not going to be offended by something, sometime, somewhere, and cry about it. You don't deserve to live in a free world.
For the record, I'm intolerant of Republicans, fascism, Nazis, and religion.
All the things that actively work to make life more difficult or impossible, I'm intolerant of it.
Ok folks.... I've received a warning from the c.im moderator. Someone is reporting me saying i'm intolerant of religion. I appealed the warning, but should I be banned, oh well.... it's happened so many times, I really don't care. If I'm upsetting somebody's pet fantasy, I guess I should be banned. Mastodon must remain safe from dangerous people like me...
If you have to triage your support, you support the most at-risk first. Right now that's trans people.
Iβm pretty much done playing nice with so called progressive groups who are willing to throw trans kids under the bus just so they can go back to their funders and say they βpassed the bill to protect the children.β https://www.vice.com/en/article/qjv3qp/congress-is-pushing-an-online-safety-bill-supported-by-anti-lgbtq-groups
I carry canvas grocery bags in my trunk, and reusable metal straws in my backpack. It's not hard to do.
Did that come out wrong or come out right, I wonder.
