"All the world's a stage," and therefore fair game for snarky comments.
Musician, craftsperson, who rejects the idea that some people's lives are more valuable than others (religion, gender, heritage, appearance, etc.)
Also, I doubt the government's ability to address unjust treatment of such differences without Electoral Reform.
I understand just enough about tech that I don't let the way it actually works get in the way of my jokes.

WHAT'S THE DEAL with people FINALLY realizing Jerry Seinfeld is TERRIBLE?

@GayDeceiver @Alice

I thought the final Seinfeld episode was a fitting end to years of lying, cheating, and stealing by each of the characters. They were right to get called out for it.

(Although perhaps it was intended to portray them as 'victims'...)

    Disclaimer for anyone who follows my photography account on Pixelfed:

    I KNOW about the Golden Ratio with regard to photography, I just donโ€™t CARE about the Golden Ratio with regard to photography.

    It's probably an autistic thing, but I find squares and grids to be much more comforting so Iโ€™m going to do whatever makes me happy, even if it means breaking the dumb rule of thirds.

    There's this thing called Williams syndrome where people who have it tend to be very happy and outgoing and friendly, but it comes at a detriment because they can be TOO friendly and trusting and potentially end up in dangerous situations as a result.

    I share a lot of the emotional and psychological traits, but I know I donโ€™t have it because there are associated physical traits and I donโ€™t have any of those.

    Either way, there is definitely something going on with me where I am completely oblivious to any sort of threat or danger and, whenever my husband is concerned about a situation, he calls me "William" and I snap out of it.

    He's not making fun of me or people with Williams syndrome and it's just kind of a code to alert me to potentially scary situations and Iโ€™m so grateful to have him around because I'd probably be dead or trapped in someone's basement if it weren't for him.

    Williams syndrome for anyone interested: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Williams_syndrome

    Everyone in Alaska has enjoyed a Universal Basic Income for over 40 years for just breathing in Alaska. Has it harmed them? No. Employment increased. Inflation slowed. Poverty went down. Obesity went down. Child abuse went down.

    I'm all for UBI, but a couple grand a year is what I would call a "good start".

    While I'm wishing for pie in the sky, it'd be nice to have a monetary source not tied to the oil industry.
