Noah is such a dumpster fire it’s comical. The man has no self control. Even if he did manage to attain some semblance of real power, or wealth, or anything at all, he just doesn’t have the self control to hold onto any of it for more than a minute.

Real power is disciplined, focused where it’s needed, and not squandered gratuitously. It’s not…[Read more]

Fun fact: Most people have heard of being “hoodwinked”, but few have ever seen a real pair of hoodwinks. This particular set is probably from the early 1900s.

These are a pair of #hoodwinks, from somewhere in the early 1900s. They would typically be used to blindfold initiates during induction rituals of groups like the #Freemasons or #OddFellows. The ceremony would often involve a series of reenactments of biblical scenes conveying some relevant moral lesson. You don't want to ruin the mood in between acts, so it's important that the curtain be lowered while the stage gets reset for the next scene. That's where the term "hoodwinked" comes from. #oddities #freemason #oddfellow

A name like scarrqueen is probably relevant in some way, do you think maybe she’s something like a vengeful OOA survivor? I’m not sure if I’ve got room in my life for any more Kool-aid flavors.

Scarrqueen liked two of my instagram posts, a creepy music box, and a child cpr dummy. I think they followed me briefly, but I might be remembering that wrong since it follows no one currently.

It does have that lusty aroma about it.

@wanda102 I was super impressed that you had t-shirts ready to go.

@tiffany223 We didn’t know they meant *us*. We thought they were talking about change for *other* people, so we were totally unprepared.

Yeah, I don’t like any of those options. Do you have anything in a Burnt Sienna?

I don’t think “exposing the truth” is the “correct” side, it’s just my side. It’s what I identify with.

I think there’s a distiction between “BOS” the faction, and the players who aligned themselves with BOS. When I say “BOS was a fraud”, obviously I’m talking about the group, not the people who had it tattooed on their wrist. I don’t mean…[Read more]

@kasch Now yer talkin’. You don’t need to sign a loyalty pledge to make your own choices. You’re not obligated to choose a color.

Apologies for a wall of text stream of consciousness, but…

Personally, I found every single character introduced prior to this to be morally repugnant, and utterly unappealing. It was frustrating to watch…[Read more]

The only mistake that you can make in this world is believing that you understand what it is going to happen next.

That’s pretty prescient, @joycecarlberg. Do you think it might apply to you as well?

@111error You say the sweetest things. Let’s be friends.

@joycecarlberg Oh yeah, was it a little something like this?

“Dear Diary, the Internet was so mean to me today! I acted like a perfectly snooty, entitled brat, and nobody liked it! Why can’t I make any friends? It feels like everyone is talking about me behind my back. I’m so worried that my boss is going to find out that I’m a fraud, and…[Read more]

Oh, how absolutely lovely, your little gang of misfits now has a burner cell phone. Where have I heard that before? I just can not seem to remember. What is next dear? A clandestine meeting? Oh yes, I guess that is how you got the phone in the first place isn’t it love? How delightfully original! I can completely see why you would be so a…

@kipsie Sounds like Stockholm Syndrome… I’d roll my eyes, but the willfully blind wouldn’t see it anyway.

The international scientific symbol for resistance is the Greek letter Omega, representing the Ohm. That’s an awful big coincidence to be a complete coincidence.

Professionals would never rely on just a single plant. It’s too high risk, too easy to get burned. You send in multiple plants, so when the “easy” one gets burned, everyone relaxes thinking they found the mole.

@kipsie What you said. If they’re legit, we’ll soon see. If they’re just another bunch of BOS amateurs, that will also be soon apparent.

@nothenrygale I’m not the droid you’re waiting for, that’s for sure.

Oh god, we’re getting laid off. It’s time to start stuffing your pockets with non-dairy creamer, and toner cartridges.
