Prog Hated Frog

I went all out on Pepe.

I regret nothing.

First Rumble upload, this. (Confessedly it's only here because the same video was blocked elsewhere due to my brief use of the skit at the start and a bit later. How petty. Hope the video stays on here; the skit is required for the humoristic continuity purposes.)

37:01-39:02 Steven Wilson – Northern Cyclonic

Full timeline to come, can’t now…

(it’s his fault)

Turns out this "moment" gave rise to a whole pol-barometer thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sister_Souljah_moment

As something of a US-pol junkie, I’m ashamed to have only found out about it recently.

Anyway, she’s so awful and irrational…

I only glanced at the “loneliness by gender” research, but it’s shown in the video, so here you go:

First one that comes up per Google: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9224515/#:~:text=Compared%20to%20men%2C%20women%20were,32.40%3B%20p%20%3D%200.018).

The second: https://www.iamexpat.nl/lifestyle/lifestyle-news/are-men-lonelier-women#:~:text=Differences%20in%20loneliness%20in%20men,comfortable%20admitting%20they%20feel%20lonely.

The rest I didn’t even bother to glance at.

In the video I say men are somewhat more lonely but even these quickie investigations got me to see that this might not be true, at least once lifetime averages are taken into account. I’m writing this here because it appears to strengthen my points even more. I should’ve done an audio on it, but this video is already way tardy and I’m low on time and, of course, exhausted.

Exhausted, even though I've been off since the 19th. But it's back to work tonight. (Dec 1)

I didn't upload even one third of all the stuff I figured I'd upload during this vacation.

The song thing at the end was impromptu, took up yet more time, but I started and couldn’t stop, couldn’t resist. State-of-flow type deal, you know how it is. Oh wait, you probably don’t.
