Felt cute thought I’d post something smutty

Me in a cornfield next to some corn smut

Oh yeah at room temperature

Adam Ragusea @aragusea.bsky.social · 3d

Like a firework!

Adam Ragusea @aragusea.bsky.social · 4d

huh

Adam Ragusea @aragusea.bsky.social · 5d

This what the internet once was and could be again if we are penitent.

“Cringe” is a you problem.

I hear you on the reputation singles but I feel like the rest of the album had aged quite well?

Adam Ragusea @aragusea.bsky.social · 8d

Oh don’t rot your brain with that trash

Adam Ragusea @aragusea.bsky.social · 8d

Makes total sense. Thanks for all the sweet combine asmr vids btw.

Is there any other legume that could be worth growing at that scale where you are? Not pumping you for career advice, just curious.

Been thinking about the “this video could have been an article” discourse, and it made me think that videos are kinda similar to books: good things, but bad to send to someone else unsolicited. Best to wait until someone asks for recommendations.

Oh yeah I know how co-ops work! Was just curious about the price. Even if the price stays low, will soy still be worth it for you, just for the nitrogen fixing?

Adam Ragusea @aragusea.bsky.social · 8d

Selling those gonna go ok?

Adam Ragusea @aragusea.bsky.social · 8d

No, this is how he has always talked. Like a mob boss. This is how he has evaded prosecution all these years. He uses subtly all the time so that he can deny having ordered the very thing he ordered. Listen to his J6 speech, for example. Classic Henry II shit.

Adam Ragusea @aragusea.bsky.social · 8d

Yeah duh

Adam Ragusea @aragusea.bsky.social · 8d

Interesting example you bring up. Cops do that all the time. “Hey, that’s a dead blinker you’ve got there, you know I could bring you in for that?” Even if it’s legally true, its purpose is not to enforce turn signal law; its purpose is for the cop to remind you that he can hurt you if he wants to.

You may also consider that there didn’t seem to be any room mics. The chuckle would have been picked up by the podium mic, which means it could well have been his staff chuckling, not the brass.

Obviously, it was unlikely that any officer in the room was going to walk out in protest, and obviously if they did there would be consequences under any president. But no other president would have needed or wanted to make the threat of consequences explicit.

Don’t have a boss, and that’s also not the point. Trump’s pattern is to issue threats in the form of “jokes” so that he and others can deny they made them until he actually follows through on the threat.

Adam Ragusea @aragusea.bsky.social · 8d

You will note the pattern of saying something as a “joke” and then actually doing it.

Adam Ragusea @aragusea.bsky.social · 10d

I ought not have presumed you were aware, sorry

And running is fun, but probably not the best form of cardio for most people, imho.

Adam Ragusea @aragusea.bsky.social · 10d

You might also consider how a comment like that feeds into the current psycho MAHA conspiracy hysteria about statins. As you say, lots of people just biosynthesize a lot of cholesterol regardless of what they eat or how they move. Statins are miracle drugs.

Adam Ragusea @aragusea.bsky.social · 10d

Nope, do not co-sign this one.

Hypothesis: 9 out of 10 complaints about exercise are the result of people doing something other than lifting weights.

Where the hell is my 'runner's high'?

theneuroscienceofeve...

A quite-frankly justified rant about the absence of much-touted rewards of regular exercise. Sure, the whole 'being healthier' thing is all well and good, but where are the endorphins at?

Where the hell is my 'runner's high'?

Many people talk of the rush of pleasure, the euphoric hit, that you experience when you do enough running. But I'll believe it when I see (feel) it.
