  • I’m so grateful that my mother wasn’t a piece of shit. I mean, she has her faults. She voted for the shitbird three times, thus ending our relationship (I won’t speak to her because of it), but she really tried. She wasn’t abusive. She sucked and piled on baggage from her own bs, but it wasn’t really her fault; she just had shortcomings.

    Meanwhile, I watch bodycam videos on youtube and feel horrible for some children. Thanks, Mom!


  • From the time of the Natufians, beginning around 13100 BC , up to the Early Bronze Age IIb around 3200 BC, there are only a handful of violent deaths indicated by skeletal remains:

    Guess the Bronze Age Collapse never happened. The Sea Peoples never swept through coastal cities raiding and plundering in the Mediterranean. Egypt and Assyria never dominated their neighbors. All those books I read were wrong. Even in Egyptian tombs, the extensive records of wars are all wrong.

    Listen up. New information. All reports of societies duking it out in ancient history didn’t happen. It’s time to realign our understanding of human nature. War is a modern concept. In fact, I’m gonna go even further and declare that until the USA and our genocidal partner attacked Iran this year, there had never been a war EVER. Tell your friends.



  • Changing where you live can really reverse what you’re describing, but I know that’s not always realistic. I live in the Bay Area and I’m middle-aged. The dating pool is full of people who my values and who like doing stuff I’m into, like going to live music and rocking out. Less than with younger people, but that’s about stamina more than interests.

    If I lived in the midwest, where my family all live, there’d be nothing. Conservative bland bullshit. Dunno where you live, but something to consider.
