People from everywhere are mostly delightful. It’s governments you need to worry about.

Not to mention that not making puppies is a premium feature. It’s all a scam by Big Dog to sell more dog

He has a tell; his mouth was moving

No idea. I checked the status of my ballot, which I emailed directly to the county a few days ago and found it was accepted and tabulated. At least WA does things right.

Are you looking for investors at this time?

You’d really think that with the entire rules-based order of free trade and multilateral agreements at stake, countries would have better foreign-asset antibody mechanisms. You’d want to expect that people would be able to spot obvious lies specifically designed to destroy their countries. You would be wrong.

My eight year old followed along for a three hour stage production of Spirited Away in Japanese, with subtitles projected above. So I guess technically supertitles. Point being, kids can handle subs just fine.

I brought a foam replica of the sword from Berserk. I’m not sure anyone recognised it, but everyone liked it

Shareholders ruin everything they get ahold of.

Wearing 12kg of armour, a stifling skull mask I can barely see in, and carrying a foam replica of the berserk sword. Going to follow my kid around and try not to die.

Authoritarian followers, a famously introspective crowd

It’s a little weird to suppose I was serious, don’t you think?

It seems like we’re just getting stuck on the word ‘inherent’. If you prefer, I submit that everything is contaminated by politics, and anything newly created is also quickly contaminated by pervasive political interests and pressures, if not created largely as a consequence of political processes already in motion.

No, it’d be great. Lump all those places into one state and let them see how they like having their individual voting power be diluted by the electoral college. Let all the places with cities who actually make the nation’s money take a turn at the wheel.

It feels like the start of a Hitchcock film

@badfaithact

Hmm

Well aware. There are towns out there that gave me severe bad vibes. I was rolling through Chemult one time while camping. No place has ever given me such an urgent desire to quickly leave.

Outside of the actual political process, is there anything that do you consider inherently political?

I’m ashamed that WA isn’t higher. I don’t know why we put up with the half of the state east of the mountains, they’re just our cross to bear.
