Perhaps the issue lies in how the count is done. It says swears in posts so maybe its not counting replys and I feel like a lot of your vocabulary is put to good use there.

My partner was an eagle scout. He has put his training in knots to good use.

It feels a lot like militant vegans to me. Are there lots of good reasons for a person to choose to be vegan? Yes. But when you come at me for not, that it feels real weird. Because they never just calmly explain the benefits (vegan or AI) they just attack me for my current choices and belitte me.

My roommates are totally cool with me just grabbing a plate and hidding in my room. These people are more family than my blood family.

Thats all my burnedout self wants and is thankful for.

Same and even more with Twitter

Put it in a burrito and make @scalzi.com proud.

Don't you know all that matters is more money? That is the most important thing right? /Sarcasm

This has "millennials are killing [insert industry here]" vibes to it.

I timed it back in 2020, if you do the intro monologue from TNG "these are voyages..." and you do it at the pace Picard speaks, its long enough to do a good clean of your hands.

They can take my purple mattress from my cold dead hands. It's the third member of my marriage. Lol

Holy wow! I don't know anybody who plays that. All my nieces and nephews are in their twenties. I had no idea it was that bad. I feel like a really out of touch adult right now.

Why is no one buying stuff on Black Friday* deals anymore?

(*Deals start on Nov 7th and run all month?)

Because we aren't stupid and can see you raised the base price to make the deal look better.

100% accurate in my case for sure.

I say this many days when working on my computer

My uncle was trans and he transitioned to being a man in the early '70s.

♥️ only as a show of support. I wish we lived in a world where we could just write (of what ever our joy was) and not hang our lives on a rigged game of capitalism.

As always with things like this I am cautiously optimistic.

It was lovely to meet you. Can't wait to start reading the book.
