We actually paid someone to come do this for our house, because I don’t have the ability to get way up high on the second floor, for any of the spraying steps. I wanna say it was $350. We have a white house, with bushes in the front, so the filth really gathers quickly and shows up well (as you are aware).

Everything positive must be backed up with “we’ll fight you over this if we have to.”

Protip: Spray with something to kill the mildew and let it rest a bit before washing off.

“Okay! I did!”

New band name, I call it.

Nice spike at 50.

I’m seeing some things for May 1, International Workers’ Day. I know the last couple have been on Saturdays, and based on a two-week cycle, the next one would be May 3rd - but I don’t see anything near me scheduled yet. Not unusual, I don’t think these get publicized until the week of. Keep your eyes out for May 3rd, and be ready to go on that day.

The problem with history is we just up and belief what the [rulers] say is true.

I think that’s what you meant? If so - no “we” don’t. Actual historians are well aware of the possibility (probability?) of ancient propaganda, take that into account when coming to conclusions, and don’t claim that something is true beyond what the evidence demonstrates.

“This is an excellent rectangle.”

A question that I’ve not seen addressed: The Sea Peoples showed up, raided, invaded, really successfully. Why didn’t they stay? Why did they go back to wherever they came from? Isn’t that what the Vikings were doing in Britain (also Normandy?) for a while before they decided to stay there?

To be fair, all cats are feral.

If you really want to push buttons, team up with a woman in your class, each of you wearing the exact same clothes, where those clothes are “traditionally female.” You show up first, get the funny look and the “Oh, you’re going to do this now?” - then your co-conspirator walks in and stands next to you.

YOU DON’T KNOW ME!

Narrator: She didn’t.

Or make sure she does, if that’s her thing.

I get it, I do - but having been on reddit 16 years before bouncing over here, it’s still so much better here. I keep a finger over the block button at all times.

Do what you need to do for yourself (which I suspect should be more than fucking off from here), and come back to say hi once in a while. Be safe.

Occasionally, he does mine with others.

Usually.

You’re assuming that I’m not a Yank? Let me tell you, I can Yank with the best of them, and I do!

January second for the Yanks.
