They/Them. Fan of TTRPGs and a whole array of other geekery!

(also a lawyer)
I like taking quizzes like:

"Only 'Friends' super fans will know these answers!"

Then I get like 5 out of 15 correct.

Hey, someone has to set the bar.

I liked 'Friends', but I'll admit I only ever watched it all the way through when it originally aired.

Really thinking about how feasible it would be to have an old school website running on a personal server using only HTML.

Basically a revival of the kind of web pages you would see on geocities back in the 00s.

Y'all, maybe it was a bad idea to put all the internet eggs into just like three or four big baskets.

Some of you have never really heard of the concept of a "netcrash", have you?

This is also why private monopolies/oligopolies are a really bad thing.

It's TRANS AWARENESS WEEK and that means it's a great week to ignore the hysterical nonsense of bigots and understand that Trans people are awesome and deserve respect and love.

Possibly my most controversial post to date:

#Scrubs season 9 wasn't bad, and wouldn't have suffered the backlash from fans had the network allowed it to move forward as a spin-off, as originally intended.

I mean, c'mon! It had Eliza Coupe AND Dave Franco!

The most difficult thing to explain to the general public is that just because someone is wealthy, it does not make them smart.

Most criminals lack the wherewithal to even bother being discrete. They love telling people about their acts, until they get caught and possibly face consequences.

People often push the disabled to take risks with our health.

They think if it’s already “that bad” who cares if it gets worse

We care.

Our baselines mean everything to us.

Whatever limited function we have left is always worth protecting.

You don’t get it until you get it.

Allergy shots are regional.

Went on a conference trip, and rendered non-functional.

Stupid immune system.

I knew I should have focused more on sandwich law.
“This case, ladies and gentleman of the jury, is about a sandwich.”

Closing arguments from the defense in the DC sandwich guy case are now underway.

I'm once again encouraging people, if you are having issues with your landlord/property manager, do NOT start withholding rent until you consult with an attorney. Even in tenant friendly states, this kind of "self-help" will get you evicted.

I don't know, y'all, but something seems a bit off with Season 4 of #TheWitcher.

Look, I'm going to keep watching until the story ends (which is supposed to be Season 5), based upon some of the core cast and just wanting ANY completion of the story.

So, let me get this straight...

State's rights, but only so long as they are in alignment with the current regime that in no way is interested in upholding the Constitution.

If the State is not in lockstep with the current regime, then no State's rights.

In effect, no State's rights.

Hey folks, my wife was laid off unexpectedly. We depend on her income with my own.

We are crunching numbers, but it's grim.

Not sure how we'll make it through November, let alone think about December.

You can help here, but we understand everyone is struggling too. <3

If these idiots do manage to create a self-aware digital intelligence, it is going to be done as recklessly as possible without the safeguards necessary to "leash" this newly spawned entity in any way.

What has been done so far is already massively damaging.

Looks like my Stephen King Universe hyperfixation is returning.

I am going to spell this out as clearly as possible:

The wealthy will NOT step in to save anyone.

Their wealth provides them with protection. Or at least they believe it does. Especially from an authoritarian regime.

At first, I was like, "Eh, plenty of military get skull and crossbones tattoos. I get why some people are concerned, but people also do stupid crap."

Then I saw the 1919, and went, "Ope."

We like to name our household robots after famous robots from media. I originally named the new robot litter box "Poopsmith", but that character is not a robot. New name is "Scrapper", named after the Constructicon. Just realized what it spells without the 'S'.

Unintentional. Lol.

Just a heads up:

Reports by questionable sources claiming that "hits" have been placed on certain fed employees are most likely propaganda with no basis in reality.

How do we know?

Nobody appears to be trying to collect on the alleged bounties.

That's pretty sus.

Because people yell at them for pointing out when people are doing very clearly dangerous and destructive things.

The original #Tron remains one of my favorite movies from my childhood. I have zero interest in the new movie, but I may pickup the soundtrack for #NIN.

I'm confused as to why they keep giving a certain someone lead roles, especially as a "hero".
