  • First off, all of those are actually normal names. I’ve met two Wayne families in the last year, unrelated. Most super hero secret identity names were picked to be very common.

    Second, you’re not likely to lose any job opportunities unless the name you pick is genuinely uncomfortable for people to say. If you change your name to “Joe Fuctphace” you’re not going to be taken seriously.

    Third, from personal experience, having a fake sounding name actually gets me more opportunities across the board. I changed my name in marriage to take my spouse’s last name and make the name I’ve been using for ages official. I’m frequently told that it’s such a cool name, places are more likely to get my order right when I call them in, and I’m more memorable in the interview process. My favorite interaction with strangers is when someone is like, “I love you name,” and I get to respond, “Thanks! I picked it myself!” Normally it leads to a fun chat and occasionally a new friend.






  • I really want to start a sort of civil movement charity type thing that voluntarily helps minority groups learn to operate and aquire firearms. Especially in the queer community, firearms are considered an icky or scary topic, but in this day and age it’s not something you can afford to be scared of. Breaking down the macho talk of gun culture and sticking to clear, safe facts will go a long way, same for a buddy system to help people people who might not be comfortable entering the gun culture oozing gun store to purchase a gun. I know a lot of women who want to buy a gun but don’t want to be a woman in a gun store.





  • This is something that killed walking dead for me. There was a whole thing where they’re in the prison and the zombies outside manage to mass up enough that they break the fence. If they took shifts, 4 hrs a day with a spear and head stabbed the zombies they would never have gotten to a critical mass.

    Infact, I did the math years ago for my ideal zombie escape zone. It would only take 8 people and a month to effectively eliminate the entire regional population if we move in 4 hour shifts. So baring the entire nearest metropolitan city showing up at once with a psychic level awareness of our presence and a deep need for revenge, all you really need is consistency and a schedule.



  • I quite liked Necromerger. It has a very fun monster aesthetic, the little guy talks like invader zim, and I honestly wasn’t put off by the minorization. Had about 100 hours and no reason to delete it after 8 months, so I bought the premium version, 9 bucks, 1 time purchase, just gives you more energy or something.

    I ultimately ended up out doing myself, got to a point where I got my satisfaction and still had energy left so I ended up playing longer than I wanted. Can’t say I’ve ever complained about getting more game per game, but it was hard to put down when whatever I was waiting for showed up.


  • Fun fact, baby carrots aren’t babies at all. They take any carrot that doesn’t fit their classic 🥕 shape and put it through a machine that cuts them to length and lathes them into the tiny rounded dowels we know and love. The inventor of the machine was inspired by his wife wishing she didn’t have to cut and peal carrots for recipes.

    They’re not babies, they’re the dismembered bits of any healthy plant that dares not conform to the advertised, mass appeal standards of consumer products, mechanically processed and sold to us with a marketable name.


  • I honestly don’t know anymore. I though I had a really diverse music taste and I especially love abnormal noises in music, but then I used musicbrainz to categorize all my music and found out the basically everything I listen to has the Avantgarde genre. I don’t know if that’s supposed to mean I’m on the far edge of adventure and listening to only the most experiential of music or if I’m so narrow in my niche that I only listen to music considered too weird to categorize.


  • If you use aquarium silicone adhesive, they won’t be damaged, the adhesive is weather proof, and the silicone gives a flex and wiggle that prevents sheering. We had a dime stuck to our porch for 8 years and when it finally came up, it was because the concrete had eroded underneath it.

    My dad taught that one to me in high school. He stuck $1.50 in random change to the ground in front of the soda machine at the apartments he was groundskeeper for. On slow days he’d sit and watch the local kids try desperately to get a free soda with money they can’t pick up.
