Reminds me of a math rhythm my older brother taught me when we were teens

You subtract the clothes
You add the bed
You divide the legs
And then you multiply

A good alternative would be …

“Like a blind man at an orgy … I was going to have to feel my way through” - Frank Drebin

Oh nice … I screwed up … sorry about that … in addition to missing out on Kbin, I was so discouraged by them dying out that it took me a while to get back to them as they became Mbin

Will correct my original comment … thanks

It might be more like users are consolidating.

For the past few years, one of the only ways for most people to join different parts of the fediverse was to create multiple accounts for multiple instances. I had to do that over the past couple of years in order to join whatever instance using whatever platform that I happened to be on. On top of that, at the start, I wasn’t sure what the platform I was on was like or whether or not I wanted to stay with it, so I created a burner account. So when I started heavily using the fediverse two or three years ago, I had a ton of accounts, most of which were just short lived accounts because I didn’t know I wanted to stay with any one instance or platform.

Mbin … Kbin … was a famous example … it started out as a promising alternative to a reddit like system and I started a couple of accounts there, only for the whole thing to die off and become Kbin … Mbin … [EDIT: I got Kbin and Mbin mixed up - thanks @Blaze@piefed.zip ]

So for the longest time, I’ve always been cautious and just started temporary or burner accounts everywhere because I wasn’t sure it would last. Now everything is maturing and I’m feeling more and more confident every day and now I spend almost all my time on the fediverse. Which means I’m using fewer accounts and the accounts I’m using are becoming permanent

… he whispered to himself, standing on the New England coast, his long hair blowing in the wind, shirtless in his strong muscular frame as he watched the ocean recede and drive her watery passions out to the European shore.

The massive outflow of fluidic carnal energy temporarily disturbed the ocean swells and sent a tsunami of sweet scented passion that hit the Portuguese coast later that morning.

I always refer to them as …

The Salivation Army

Another example of how governments are more willing to place at risk or even danger the lives of their citizens and their soldiers … rather than affect the bottom line of a company or corporation.

Later that year, Sally did another school report on dinosaurs … on the thesaurus

Reminds me of how proud I am to remember one of my uncles.

Some of my dad’s family went to St Anne’s Residential School in Fort Albany in northern Ontario in the 1950s … it’s famous as a very brutal institution that did terrible things. Dad had one older brother who was famous for being thrown out of the school and told to not return. He was very rebellious and constantly fought with everyone the entire time he was there. He was regularly beaten and punished when he was smaller and younger but he never stopped fighting back. He was a naturally strong and built young boy. When he turned 12, he was built like a full grown man and was known to punch out and beat any of the priests and brothers. They couldn’t handle him at one point, sent him home and just told him not to return.

My cousins in that family are some of the toughest, strongest most brutal people I know. I’m glad I’m related to them because anyone who ever crossed them on the street didn’t do so good.

This reminds me of one of my favourite memories this time of year - walking the streets of Lisbon, Portugal with my wife. We didn’t have much money (we never did) but it was always fun to travel to new places in the world and to explore it as much as we could. It was December, cold, wet, miserable which is why we were there … it’s the cheapest time of year to travel because no one wants to go somewhere where the weather is not so great. But on those cold walks at night, they have street vendors selling roasted chestnuts … we couldn’t believe it. We had only read about stuff like that and it was the most cozy feeling to huddle in the drafty cold while eating a warm handful of freshly roasted chestnuts next to the hot fire of the cart.

They applied that same logic to Indian Residential Schools in Canada … but they weren’t trying to grow men … they just wanted to get rid of the Indian inside the Indian.

My work here is done :)

My favourite description of the human brain is that since it is mostly made of fat … it is the consistancy of soggy raw bacon

I love this timeline … let’s build a neurochip to interface with the human brain … so that we can make more money

What could go wrong?

I remember reading once that world wide, all the ants on the planet weigh collectively more than all the elephants put together on the planet.

I’ve got a mechanical device that will shake the ants out … I’ll just crank it up to 10,000 rpm so I can get my ants fast and be on my way … let me just adjust the carburetor so I pull start the engine to get started … HOLD STILL!!!
