I have knowledge. People who disagree with me have beliefs. /s

nah but for real its all the same, innit? it’s just a matter of how well supported you think your thoughts/beliefs/knowledges are. if i was drawing that kind of a distinction in my head, wouldn’t that mean that i’m thinking things are true that i simultaneously know are false? if i was gonna have ‘knowledge’ and ‘beliefs’ rattling in my head as separate things, that seems like me it’d smack of willful self-delusion.

one time, i saw somebody try to sneak by a big truck making a necessarily wide right turn, and get the whole left side of the car sheered off like a pad of butter.

because they prefer to dream of themselves as billionaires in potentia. it’s hard to admit you’ve been duped, especially when society gives you so many targets to punch down on.

or, as futurama put it, link

gotta be either the tiny computer i’m typing this on, or the large, sturdy, wooden stick in the corner. if i had to pick to keep just one though, it’d be the phone. a sturdy stick has a million and one uses, but it’s also fairly easily replaceable.

picking a favourite is hard, but In The Tall Grass (2019) is definitely up there, and i never see anyone talk about it. also, Malignant (2021). definitely try to go in blind for that one if you can.

i’m always surprised that most people rank the nun as the worst in the conjuring franchise. i think it’s probably my favorite. conjuring 2 is phenomenal too. and they’re definitely horror.

i switched to linux exclusively i think in 2011. currently using mx linux on my desktop.

usually, it’s sufficient to visit a pokémon center every so often, but its worth holding onto an elixir or two for if you’ve got a 'mon with low-pp moves

frogger (1981) arcade machine at the local barcade, i think. sadly the place went out of business a little while back.

new. sometimes i switch to others for a laugh, but new is my default.

not sure i get why? they’ve already got these carts, and presumably have a gba to play them with. it’s not like nintendo gets a cut either way, since you’re only gonna find used copies.

idk dude, how does anything get to be an olympic sport? it gets popular enough and the olympic committee thinks it’ll draw a crowd and decides to include it. it’s not like there aren’t several other dance sports in the games already.

would you believe i came here to make the exact same comment?

“weird” is an effective way to shut down right-wing nutjobs because they care too much about conformity, and are likely to change their behaviour if they believe they are going against the will of the herd. it undermines their whole ‘silent majority’ schtick.

all this to say, i’m autistic, i’m weird, and i don’t think that this new strategic use of the word in politics should mean you shouldn’t use it in other ways too.

BATTLE ROYALE

body cams only make any sense when you’re not in a fixed location and already always on camera, or when there’s commonly abuses of power off camera. both are true of cops. neither are true of the cashiers at Hot Topic or whatever.

anyone working 8 hours on their feet, even with a lunch break, is gonna be sore. presumably, you’re pulling 12 hour or longer shifts. i am not a nurse, nor do i have one handy to ask for you, but it would be unrealistic to expect to not be sore after that.

it’s “childish” to enjoy fun things like the zoo, according to some incomprehensibly boring and immature people.

i’m sorry, but what is that first one, and what’s the alternative?

“all antisemitic conspiracy theories are deliberately introduced cognitohazards from the illuminati to control the populace” is the best conspiracy theory regarding jewish folk i’ve ever seen.
