  • People keep talking about crime, but I tend to hold off on even putting up decorations until a week or less before the holiday because where I live the weather will destroy or launch your decorations, and the storms often come at night with no warning.

    So my immediate thought was, he wants to preserve those decorations. It’s something I would do if I didn’t just accept I’d be replacing a third to a half of my decorations every year because I can’t be assed to take them down for storms.

    I don’t know about this mid-October one, but for the Satanic Temple there is Lupercalia on February 15th, which is “hail yourself” day, so pretty much Treat-yo-self day. The two days prior are for feasting.

    My wife and I take those three days and each of us takes one day to treat ourselves while the other watches the kids and handles things. And the third day of the three ends up being feasting (where we order out from each person’s favorite restaurant and have a feast of everything).

    For parents, I highly recommend it.













  • Yes and no.

    I have never had a lust for power. I have never had a desire to do things that people in power abuse their position to do (like nightmare islands, sex with interns, crushing minorities). I don’t even have an intense desire for money beyond basic comfort (I would love to have money for a boat right now, but I’m content saving up for it). So corruption for any of that? No.

    However, I am not sure I have the capability of doing good in a proper way. I can’t tell if I’d be a Sisko or if I would just fail to achieve any of my aims out of not wanting to do things the wrong way (if you go authoritarian to try to make things better, is that still corrupt or evil?). The world is a fucked up, difficult to navigate place, morally, when you are making decisions for a lot of people.

    So yeah, I could avoid corruption for my own sake, but I don’t think I would be able to be a benevolent dictator.
