  • Here’s my tip, for Lemmy hopefully it will never get so popular as to not work any more.

    Answer the phone for unknown numbers, don’t say a g-d thing, just listen. Let them address you first.

    If they ask for you by name go ahead and respond, if they call back answer with a generic “hi” greeting, don’t let them have your voice or name before you know who they are and what their business is.

    A robot will mark your number as a “dead line” and not call you again.

    A person will either be trying to reach you (and know who you are) or trying to reach a living person, and not waste their time with an unresponsive line.

    Northernlion is all audience interaction now.

    I found him searching super meat boy when he was about 50 videos into the binding of Issac, I couldn’t stand that games themes at the time, but after he posted the hundredth video or so I decided to give it a shot, it was relatively entertaining and very easy to fall asleep to.

    Now he just interacts with his audience, and it’s really not my jive, still subscribed, but haven’t watched a video in probably over a year.


  • The concept of “throwing the baby out with the bathwater”

    There’s no nuance from the left. The left polices itself like the radical right thinks they (the party of law and order) do.

    Had a podcaster get dropped by their long time partner because there were lewd text messages sent.

    I’m tired of the reactionary bullshit, currently Dawkins and Gaiman are being dropped, and I understand not wanting to associate/support Dawkins’ current views, the guy wrote very persuasive works that shouldn’t lose value because he lost his empathy.

    I still read and enjoy enders game despite knowing what a tool Card turned into, how is it so difficult to separate art from the artist?

    Doesn’t hurt to talk to someone about it, maybe you’ve aged out of it, maybe it’s slowly manifesting itself in a different way, there are professionals that can tell the difference.

    Nobody is going to hold a young adult accountable for minor things they did as a child, especially not a psychiatrist. It’s better to get checked when you have the awareness that something night not have been right, because when things are very wrong you won’t have the desire to get checked.
