A 15 year old cannot drive, vote, work, or live alone. They cant join the military. They cant be out past 10PM without an adult here.

And you, an adult man, want to have sex with them? Your desire is for POWER over them. That is all. They are defenseless. Powerless. They are children.

yea it is good so far!

And people can do all the whatboutism all they want about this. To me and I suspect most outside observers, it sounds nuts.

Get rid of all the child rapists and their close associates. If a party can't do that? It is part of the problem.

nice!
no idea when i'll be able to finally land the fitst submission i learned: the bow&arrow choke. i can never remember it exists while rolling and i do 50/50 gi/no-gi so it isn't even relevant half of the time.

and experience the fullness of various stages of life rather than wishing we were some other self at some other time...

1000x this.

make "escape from war chariots" easier and more people will do it

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

all of these [REDACTED] seem very bad at writing emails

Holy shit, just learned about the typewriter art of Montserrat Alberich Escardívol, a Catalan typist. Using an extra wide typewriter and 180 color ribbons, she built up elaborate images from simple characters like 'm' and '.' and ';'. Here is her typewritten painting of the Cathedral of Barcelona.

@edzitron.com love the pod!

but... can you perchance get the levels closer btw the podcast proper and the intro/outro music?

in particular when you have guests, Better Offline is dangerous for my ears if i listen with headphones b/c the music is so much louder than the voices.

winsesap apples are still better than all these fancy new patented apples.

why do i need an excuse? i rarely even offer an explanation.

"it is time for me to go." is a complete sentence.

can anyone explain (or point me to something that explains) the origins of anti-beard sentiment?

not just in the military but in a broader historical context?

gonna do my own searching too but maybe someone knows already?

podcast addict has a solid search function which can be set to search for either "podcasts," "episodes," or "people."

the first two are useful for exactly what they sound like. the third is an absolute wildcard.

most recently used the second to find some old ta-nehisi coates conversations.

Pair of charmingly grumpy owls out on skates for winter fun. Have even brought along a snack! By Adriaen van de Venne, who died (alas!) on this day 1662.

all i can think of is

just remembering how Stankonia changed college (even in NYC) for the better.

A promise on a vote has to be the silliest shit I’ve ever read

gonna sound stereotypical here but when i buy gear-type-stuff i almost always go patagonia. they replace &/or repair when needed & are good w returns & exchanges. they also sell quality used gear.

used to have lotsa variety wrt "how warm" for long underwear but i have not needed to replace in years

putting words to the thoughts in my brain.
again.

huh.

my foggy memory thought that it varied from chorus to chorus but you are correct.

reminder #4080 to never fully trust brains.

1. would love to adopt these boys but we cannot at this point.

2. cats are honestly some of my best jiu-jitsu teachers/inspirations. tight elbows, good frames, always using 4 limbs & head control. adjusting technique&position for the environment. full grasp of leverage&space. also true playfulness!

some parts of us are from the same damn mold.
