    I’m 100% sure that my black sheep family member was just born an asshole, and talk radio told him for decades that it’s OK to be a racist asshole, so he leveled up to that quickly. His bad decisions as an adult were his alone based on greed and short-sighted “I’ll get away with it!” racist-privileged assumptions.

    Everyone else in the family is mostly relatively fine, and no one would have gone out of their way to traumatize child 4 of 5.




  • I know this was from a week ago, but I just saw something relevant.

    There’s a rarely used Ancient Greek word, κακοθερής, which means “unsuitable for summer.” Most modern people view this as saying there’s a word that means you’re “bad at summer.”

    In Modern Greek, the word summer is καλοκαίρι - a compound word that is basically “beautiful weather” used as one word. I couldn’t agree more. So I’ll just go join my fellow olive oil enjoyers in worshiping the magic of the season.
