I will never ever understand people who get a call from Isaac Chotiner asking if theyd like to sit down with him and say yes instead of immediately throwing the phone into a nuclear reactor and adopting the disguise and false identity they had kept prepared for an emergency such as this

I am deceased.
But I also think I probably build fires and start my car OK, so what do I know? 😁
(Turn the key in the ignition, use matches and old newspaper, try not to get them mixed up.)
That's what it was like reading this interview.
The people who get wrecked probably don’t realize they’re horrible.
interviewee: I can't follow the details of every conflict that America's allies get involved in
Chotiner: Sir, you're the chair of the foreign relations committee
There is absolutely no way I'm getting within Bison Distance of them.

I may or may not be an informational outlier, but my confidence with snakes is well above average (I know how to handle them, even if they're large - cobras and anacondas are not particularly feisty, they're just big)

- Water Buffalo
- Moose
- Jabiru Storks (that beak? 18" long and will be driven straight through your fucking torso after they claw your face off)
More often, they're horrible.
Thing is, everybody thinks they're interesting & nobody thinks they're horrible.
And the thumb trick.
Yeah. There is no recovery from a Chotiner interview.
Yes, the second time.
20 minutes I have spent quietly shaving curls of wood.
Then I moved to the woods and quit because it just seemed like cheating.
My kids still use matches but I'd trust them to build a fire more than any of my friends.
