when i have to do the captchas that ask you to pick all squares that have, say, a bus in them, but the bus is broken up over different squares, my brain goes through a horrible detour of a mix between Wittgenstein's duckrabbit and Quine's gavagai: is a square that has the edge of a bus's mirror "a square with a bus"? surely it's a) a question of interpretation as to when a piece of a bus becomes enough of a bus to call it a bus and b) a question of idiolect, mediated through common usage, as to whether that detached bus part is a bus. this all takes about half a second. then i fuck up the captcha for unrelated reasons.

Joking about mormonism with other exmos is like oh yay cool we’re out we’re thriving man that was kinda funny when it wasn’t soulcrushing haha

Then joking about Mormonism with nevermos is like walking a fine line between being drawn into a lengthy conversation about your religious trauma or getting defensive over your own past self and your friends and family who are still in the church because they’ve hurt you but you love them and no one gets to make fun of them without having felt that love or that grief, yknow?

Nevermos obv are free to criticize the rampant racism, misogyny, queerphobia, and general shityness of the church and its actions, but keep in mind that not every exmo is going to be okay with you coming in like “oh I hear they all wear magic underwear and still do polygamy lol that’s so crazy lol” like you all do so often

because I’m sure everyone is dying to know: here are some rolling stats from season one of hohr. (I didn’t include Dave because he doesn’t always say his rolls)

Summary:

Ghoul was very lucky with 12 nat 20s for only 5 nat 1s

Eric was perfectly average with 8 and 8

Henley did things in extremes with the most 1s and 20s but more 1s than 20s. 24 and 14 respectively

Gluebrick rolled awefully, bless him. The fewest nat 20s at 5 but still 18 nat 1s.

μέν thalassa is a much better word sonically, especially for the ocean, than thalatta - the murmuring of the sigmas like soft surf on the sand

δέ in the specific context of xenophon's ten thousand reaching the sea, thalatta does have a slight edge: the taus clicking against each other with a clatter like spear on shield, rising from ten thousand throats to crash on the shore
