Pet peeves: The return (Part 5)

Personally I find that one far less likely than the idea that life is just so spectacularly unlikely to emerge that there may well be none in our galaxy, at least.

(My heart wants me to believe in the firstborn hypothesis, but my skeptical brain thinks there might be nobody coming after us either, at least in our galaxy.)

The ones I like are less about ‘Only humans are this way’ and more that certain human traits (pack-bond-with-anything, adrenaline junky inclinations and a general helpfullness) couple well with a more human ‘Eff it, we ball’ mindset.

Search-And-Rescue-Humans type stuff.

I believe in Ancient Aliens. Nothing makes sense without them.

Nor does the 9-5, the 1% and Crab Bucket, and yet here we are


Why do ancient aliens hate white people so much

They don’t, watch the show. Stonehenge is a portal gateway.

I’ve seen some weird things at the solstice excuse to get drunk up there, but I’m not sure if it’s because it’s an ancient gate way or drug fumes.

These things needn’t be mutually exclusive

They built entire cities and pyramids for the meso-American people and they gave us a broken portal that looks like a child’s building block set

Truly they hate us

happy 5th march in persona 3 to those who celebrate

Oh of course it did


Tieflings are much better than this!

Assuming this is the question of flipping the awkward racism of “mayans could have never built pyramids!” and asking why there are no ancient alien pyramids in France, I hate to inform you that there are people who insist medieval gothic architecture like the notre dame was impossible to make by human hands. Etc etc, implications


Also, timeframe, roman concrete etc.

Some of my favourites include people who are convinced that the dinosaurs were not real, but dragons were.

On a different note watching Sweet Baby inc get what it deserves along with all the other bastards who have been festering the games industry with their bile. Good riddance.

Work is bad
no more work
only sleep and food

I’ve seen someone claim that about the Cologne cathedral. A building that only got finished in 1880, where you can google photos documenting construction and that - because it’s sandstone - will never not have someone work on it to keep it standing.
There’s a stonemason workshop right next to it. You can visit that and watch them redo parts of the building.

Now responsible for training a colleague. She is probably not going to make it but she’s managed to grasp how to use a bell to get 5 year olds to pay attention so I’ll put it as a positive peeve. Only took a term.

(Hit bell wait a few seconds say something neutral like ‘oh it seems we didn’t all hear let’s try again’ hit bell again). It all sounds obvious when said but honestly most new people are so overwhelmed by the classroom environment at peak they just go into panic mode. So it be fair to her I am being flippant , she’ll probably be fine in the long run.

I keep hearing this name but have no idea what it’s about

Gamergate holdovers being very mad, seeing a conspiracy to woke your games.

HAARP conspiracies except it’s woke beams

How can it be a conspiracy when they openly state that is their mission?? And then get upset when they are brought into the light?

Mind you I consume plenty of rainbow friendly media without any issues. Bg3 probably most notably, but also shows like Dragon Prince.

I don’t mind it being in a show or a game. I never have. Nobody ever complained about that.

What I do take issue with is changing original story, characters or plotlines to fit your political agenda or worldview, or sanitize it for people because you believe you can decide what media should people consume and what shouldn’t they.

I don’t think there is a conscious conspiracy to make video games awful, but there have been conscious efforts by these lobby and consultant organizations to drive forth their own agendas. Quality, experience and original storylines be damned.

And, of course, enacting a targeted harassment campaign.

The people who are presently malding over Sweet Baby are the same incels who sob and cry over how Western games are making women protags “ugly”.
