Well you got your more. And I've got two more in my brain to organize and write up.

So ... we've got three cars since the '50s.

Somehow that's not what I think the person I was responding to meant by it.

And just like the Edsel there were die hard fanatics who claimed it was a "great car" with "the most advanced technology".

Did any other company fall so thoroughly on their face with a useless, ugly, low quality, dangerous product to the point of being an international laughing stock?

I would immediately start working on a survival plan:

• collect information on food source
• collect information on water sources
• collect information on threats
• plan food harvesting
• plan hunting
• plan some mechanism for transporting water
• plan how to spend my days keeping all of the above in good repair and current

Then I would say "too much work", fashion a hat out of palm fronds (or equivalent), lean against a tree, and just rest, doing all that stuff I planned as I absolutely needed to and not a moment earlier.

Finally got a chance to read all the way through. One thing stood out:

There's even a kind of twisted honour in committing yourself to drinking Wayne Gretzky's shitty rye in preference to delicious American bourbon, a way to affirm your love of country with each astringent, metallic swallow.

Fuck Gretzky. He's personal friends with the Trumps. Fuck him through both ears with a rusty chainsaw.

I'm open to alternatives.

And with that, all the original eight are reposted, this time to a blog of my own so it can't get brigaded into elimination. (Also I have local copies now. I learned that lesson.)

Starting hopefully this weekend I will be adding more kick-ass women from history to the group and to my blog. I look forward to finding out more about amazing women in upcoming months and years.

I just want you all to know how much I appreciate you and your support.

Among Zheng Yisao, Lozen, and Bartolina I have real problems figuring out which one I like most.

I think Lozen just BARELY edges out the other two, but it's a difficult choice.

I'm open to image hosting that doesn't suck. Every free one I've found basically suffers the general problem of being utterly terrible.

Like most software, come to think of it. 🤔

The first part of that headline is strictly optional AFAIC.

My accommodation needs when travelling are:

1. Quiet.
2. Comfortable bed.

The rest doesn't matter much. I'm using it as a sleeping hole, not a home.

This here. The kind of guy who's good looking and well-monied accosting lone women at night is very likely exactly the kind of guy who's most dangerous.

I mean if he's such a catch, why is he trolling for women who are alone at night instead of being in a relationship already?

What do I think? I think the middle message is yet another incel mouthing off because they have a personality that drives women off.

And ... you are a gem, @[email protected] (and @[email protected], thank you as well!)!

I now have the text and all but one of the pictures from the original run, ready for light reformatting and copy editing. I think I'll repost these one per day until all 8 original pieces are done. Then I'll try to do one per month at least thereafter.

There's a lot of kick-ass women in history. Especially in the Mongols.

I have no idea why I suddenly mentioned Mongols. Trust me. It's just random...

I pissed off the owner of ttrpg.network by not being a nice, meek, quiet woman when attacked.

I'll have to check it tomorrow morning. Cloudfail is living up to its name and "checking" me for ... well, we're at about 20 minutes now and it's still pretending to check that i'm not a bot or whatever.

Very probably not. I just instance-blocked the fucker and his cronies.
