Conditional tolerance

There's a Big Discourse Blog I follow on and off, but any time a big wave of wank rolls in, I end up unfollowing her b/c the style she uses works very well when it's impersonal/incidental, but is hopelessly condescending to the point of putting me off my lunch entirely for long periods at a time.

And I'm not entirely sure what about it makes it So Unreadable at that point b/c it's the same points being made with the same general amount of insight. I guess it's the aspect of "talking past" a person who is talking at you, even if they're just being rude.

(Her response to the latest round was particularly sloppy, too, so I guess I'll take a breath and let all of that clear from my feed before following her again.)

(There really isn't anything as uniquely unpleasant as seeing a point you agree with defended badly.)

Pouring rice from sacks into pots

I need to empty my bean bag chair so I can pull the lining out and replace it.

My first attempt at this ended up with me cleaning polystyrene balls off my carpet for thirty minutes, b/c my plan to just overlap the mouths of the bags didn't... quite work out as intended :'D
