I’m excited to see what happens at 999,999.

That’s my personal email – which was public at one point because I was the contact for a festival – and I stopped caring to weed out spam like fifteen years ago. I’ve had this account for more than 20 years.

I briefly considered getting a goat a few years ago when that was being suggested as an eco alternative to lawn mowing, mostly because I have enough lawn that it seemed cheaper to feed a goat or two. But then I learnt that goats will eat everything, not just your grass, you have to maintain a small herd to get even coverage, and they shit everywhere.

If I could train one to ride my mower, though, I might reconsider.

67,055. Amateurs.

e: proof:

If it makes you feel better, I’ve never once in five decades had private talks with my girlfriends where any of them said a guy wasn’t manly for having feelings or not being a lumberjack-type. Quite the opposite, in fact. Women in my circles fawned over guys who had empathy and didn’t give a fuck what anyone thought about it. Even our teenage heartthrobs were called girly-men by guys.

I’m glad you don’t give a fuck. Stay healthy. :)

Had a guy argue with me for longer than I should have engaged that the problem was toxic feminism and that women’s standards are causing this. That women are raising their sons wrong.

Like, my guy, who is imposing this standard of machismo on men but other men? Who’s calling guys pussies for ordering ‘girly’ drinks at the pub? I’ve never seen a woman do that. Who’s bullying guys in locker rooms for not being manly enough? Women aren’t even in there.

Your problem isn’t feminism, it’s toxic masculinity, enforced by other men. But go ahead and blame women for your problems. We’re used to it by now.

This is a site with no competent designers.

If my client asked me to design and implement something like this, I’d quit. No, fix your Firefox bug, amateurs.

Is that a bowl of pea soup?

I assumed it was ironic. Don’t ya think?

This made into a pizza.

There, now don’t you feel better about this image? Happy to help.

No, this is classic fascist double-speak. It’s meant to make you feel like you’re taking crazy pills, unless your brain has already been rewired by fascist propaganda.

Imagine if we’d started pushing for this in earnest 15 years ago.

Like they say, the second best time to plant a tree is today.

Nobody said it was simple, but yes. Let’s do that.

Doing the easy thing is what’s got us to where we are.

Or added an already dead frog to the ice cream. There’s no signs of a struggle, if that makes you feel any better. Still pretty twisted, though.

It’s a prank or one of those faked outrage memes.

When this was posted on reddit with a title saying it had been purchased this way, some people who worked at ice cream factories chimed in saying that was bullshit – they could tell by the way the ice cream was swirled under the frog. They said it looked like the ice cream was normal when purchased, and someone had added the frog after the fact.

Apparently they could tell because the container would have been sealed in the factory before the ice cream had set, whilst it was still quite soft. If the frog had entered at that time, it would have mushed down into the ice cream more, rather than being just on the surface. You certainly wouldn’t be able to see the feet like that.

Tl;dr: It was originally posted as outrage bait, IIRC.

(e: found the reddit post)

Please please anyone, how do I erase a post from my memory? I’m desperate here.

This doesn’t look demonic or scary at all. It looks like sexy fringe to me. Those stairs are working hard. It may be fake, but that’s what the audience likes. If you’re not going to cheer, at least throw a few dollars down there. You could get a riser.

I might be too old for this meme. Why would you need a complex physics equation to order a footlong when you can just use grep -r?

I beg you, sir. I am far too humble to receive praise. I deserve a single line at best.

Get out, praiser. You’re ruining my life!

Pulling their own hair in the shower with clothes on? That’s absurd. It checks out.
