Have followed your birbs. Thank you.

Yeah, screw that. Be stubborn about this one. The world needs more of you/them/us.

Meat of any kind.

Irréversible.

Octopus (that’s like eating a dolphin!)

also Requiem For A Dream (a rotten, rotten film)

Rude by Magic (embarrassed that this even exists)

Oh, man. I am sorry. If I knew you in person, I would offer a massive bear hug if you wanted it. I can't really think of any words that express my reaction better than that.

You have just given me ammo for the next time this comes up. My gratitude is disproportionate.

Partner is Kiwi. I am Californian. That specific one still leads to confusion for me on occasion. You have actually made the distinction clearer to me, after all these years.

Good alt text.

Rick | ירחמיאל @rickdeux.bsky.social · 3d

I misread that as "chode red" and had to go back

Rick | ירחמיאל @rickdeux.bsky.social · 3d

Thanks.

Rick | ירחמיאל @rickdeux.bsky.social · 4d

I wish you a speedy recovery.

What show, so I know what to skip over if I see it?

Rick | ירחמיאל @rickdeux.bsky.social · 4d

I first read "fleshlights," and, heh.

Rick | ירחמיאל @rickdeux.bsky.social · 4d

Jesus, man. It is tragic that so many of us, and I do not exempt myself, feel so badly about our bodies' natural shapes and "set points" that we will consider and sometimes volunteer for — and pay handsomely for — actual mutilation. Just in order to set us at ease. The pressure never stops, does it.

As I heard it said, even if it's not loaded, it's loaded.

I had stuff thrown at me last time I tried my hand at "4:33." I guess the karaoke crowd doesn't have a lot of John Cage fans.

Brb moving to Portland then

Rick | ירחמיאל @rickdeux.bsky.social · 5d

That's why it would be fun. (I hadn't heard the Rs had given up, though.)

When you're driving from one end of LA County to the other on a weekday evening, that doesn't feel like an exaggeration.

Oh wow, I had totally forgotten about "Short Dick Man."

Not original commenter, but I agree with all the points you have expressed here, and you've done it more succinctly than I have managed.

Always use the indefinite article: "a" vibrator, never "your" vibrator.
