@olivertraldi @danwilliamsphil cool. didn’t realise that was still going

hope robin got a better mic

[Cam Peters @campeters4]

@tautologer @zetalyrae it’s also more distracting only hearing one side of a conversation

[Cam Peters @campeters4]

@tautologer @zetalyrae there is a volume aspect

but i think it’s mainly b/c it’s anti-social

eg someone using the 40 min train ride to catch up with their friend and imposing it on everyone else

same as on a restaurant

[Cam Peters @campeters4]

@QuetzalPhoenix autological?

altho in a different way to “small” and “polysyllabic”

more about the shape and feel

other example:
- voluptuous
- titillating

[Cam Peters @campeters4]

@GarrettPetersen tbh there’s always been a trope of “teacher hot” or “co-worker hot”

[Cam Peters @campeters4]

@goblinodds lmao

[Cam Peters @campeters4]

@lkesteloot @jenalden yeah we’ll take the trade off

but a dark part of me sympathised with that viral justin murphy tweet when he talked about resenting playing catch with his son

[Cam Peters @campeters4]

@nosilverv there’s a gendered read in kegan levels too tbh

[Cam Peters @campeters4]

@GarrettPetersen

[Cam Peters @campeters4]

@hejwych @JohnDoyle lmao

[Cam Peters @campeters4]

@goblinodds tbh you can still catch up with guys with no projects and end up chatting about geopolitics or whatever

[Cam Peters @campeters4]

*on the phone for 2+ hours w friend*

gf: “how is he?”

“eh, alright i think”

“well, how’s his wife; how’s his job going”?

“not sure. fine i think”

“well what did you talk about?”

“oh. geopolitics, foucaultian power, 18th century ottoman empire, polynesian genetics”

@CRELeasingLawTX @tennisbish red stripe used to be orange but orange dye was more expensive back the day so they changed it to red lol

[Cam Peters @campeters4]

mum is staying with us.

we watched a gameshow which does iq type questions that a % of the population gets right which get progressively harder

mum always does quite well

but when anything mildly politically comes up i swear she’s completely retarded, sorry to be rude

[Cam Peters @campeters4]

@lkesteloot @kitten_beloved @eigenrobot it just sort of happened

and tbh it’s not strictly true now i think about it. but it almost never comes up and i completely forget that they’re poly

for instance, the wife has never mentioned it

i don’t tend to ask about it out of perceived potential awkwardness

[Cam Peters @campeters4]

@arturodleal i didn’t do velvet underground’s banana album until like 27 and then just listened to it heaps and annoyed everyone

[Cam Peters @campeters4]

@kitten_beloved @eigenrobot i still keep in contact with a small number of poly friends but it’s sort of a don’t ask don’t tell dynamic

[Scyles @scyles002]

>get stabbed by african
>Yookay police do nothing
>Make twitter account to vent
>Get arrested for hate speech and have your bank accounts frozen

The UK is some sort of Looney Tunes version of 1984

[Cam Peters @campeters4]

@prerat i think there was heaps of dumb money lying on the table on sports betting

but 10+ years after the moneyball revolution the markets are smarter

probably still some money to be made tho tbh. maybe it’s mainly an interest thing
