Really if you were trying to politically subdivide LA when I was there you could do worse than doing it by catchment areas of malls. (I was Glendale Galleria. Americana was… not a staple mall.)
people like anita sarkesan, 4chan and other members of the gamer gate movement refuse, to even consider the reality. there is biblical evidence for video games. these people don’t want to believe that basic facts, adam and eve played the xbox which has been proven scientifically and is the word of god, plain and simple. denying video games = denying christ.
3rd century ecclesiastical schism over whether the Xbox came with Uno
God, I just realized that Anita Sarkeesian has totally fallen out of relevance
As someone who actually had River City Ransom growing up, the Scott Pilgrim game with the Anamanagichi soundtrack might actually be my favorite version of the universe, and I’ve read the comic
(which is actually honestly kinda weird how much it specifically brings up Knives as a valid sexual agent for the purpose of cutting her out, like when she gets drunk and makes out with Kim and it specifically tells you that it’s not telling you about that? That’s weird.)
I didn’t know the thing with that Batman: The Animated Series grayhat cop was in the comics he’s always smoking a cigarette, so I unironically took him as inspiration as a toothpick guy
Like I have an oral fixation that in retrospect is probably autistic stimming, 7 of my 8 front lower teeth are implants cause I loosened the originals out clenching, I… (remembers I’m on [tumblr]) like to bite?

Using my experience of an anxiety disorder to realize my mom always trying to have the last word and invoking really iffy authorities was really just her sympathetically scrambling to establish her validity
Lightly drizzling, which I suspect comes from the wildfire-sourced particulates in the air.
I used to remember daytime thunderstorms all the time in 80s suburban Philly elementary school but not after, I had been chalking that to unevenly retained and romantic childhood memory but now I wonder if I wasn’t seeing the Clean Air Act reduce air pollution in the industrial northeast.
Alright, shifted a lot of wood that was exposed atop Strawberry Ridge but too thick to rot anytime soon over where they can be the core of next year’s leaves, then got to talking with my Cascadian tree guy behind neighbor and he turned me on to using coconut coir for where I want to plant the blueberries to retain water.
Started transplanting those annuals but I’ll need more potting soil; gotta do that before the leaves dry further and fall out and I can’t tell where they are.
Tomorrow might get to that but if the air’s too bad I’ll just go see Spider-Verse.
OK, wildfire smoke definitely hitting Portland now. I think ‘cause I’m running off so much anaerobic energy that interference with my oxygen uptake might not be as bad for me, but I should expect the nocturnal decline to hit harder as what aerobic I have now (in truth I probably never dipped below 65% the whole time, even in the first case, just that was enough to open up a deficit margin) isn’t even there to take up so much slack

The situation was very explicitly one in which an elite descended from a more violent era’s warrior class caused problems in a stable merchant city because they carried weapons around
Portland, or at least active-engaged-don’t-just-incidentally-sleep-and-shower-here Portland, is probably less poly than it was when Portlandia was airing, as it started to draw more normie college grads on a “seems like a nice place to live!” basis, rather than just weirdos on an “oh god finally a refuge from both normie and coastal striver culture” basis. Like maybe 2010s normies that were actually somewhat 1990s weirdo-ward of 90s normies, but kinda superficially.
The poly thing at least seems to be turning around as the city heads on a more Seattle trajectory, though.
