Most Normalest Boygirl Ever

Hey, I’m Gowen Insane but you can also call me Owen because that is my name.

My birthday was June 29th, if that’s something you care about.

I use he/him pronouns until I use she/her, with very little inbetween. Actually wait hold on.

Here is a pie chart for my average gender at any given moment.

I’m asexual, polyamorous, and am attracted to people of all genders. I refuse to engage in any discourse over the labels of the last aspect I mentioned. Grow a spine and read some actual queer history instead of going off of what some nut on an obscure corner of the internet says. Go and look up the origins of identities and shit. Actually, if you have issue with any of those identities or labels, or if you have an issue with them being part of the LGBTQ+ spectrum, feel free to have a civil discussion with me about it.

I’m currently dating @evil-wizard-cat and @all-the-birds-died-in-1986, who are both wonderful people who’s blogs you should check out.

I post about a lot of things. If you want an organized blog I’m so sorry but you will need to look elsewhere. I run this blog for my own personal fun and I try to tag triggers that people ask me to, but don’t expect to be able to search for specific fandom stuff I reblog.

Speaking of fandoms, I don’t really like them. Not my thing. But I do often post about Metal Gear, Delicious in Dungeon, and a handful of indie games that you should absolutely play.

I run @howfuckableisyourfave and am a mod on another blog but I’m inactive there so I won’t link it.

I take media way too seriously for my own good and can spontaneously post long rants about the messages or morals or writing in anything. I especially like to talk about games and game mechanics, as I find the medium incredibly interesting.

If I ever have any links to other sites I’m on then I will edit the post and add them here:

I’m only on Tumblr rn lol

So does general depression. Why do you think he's so morose

anarchblr

if he hated it he'd kill his commander-in-chief

jakethesequel

Unfortunately the commander-in-chief, five-star General Paranoia, is always alert for any threat to his person

orbital strike is always unlikely but never impossible

He's got that exact quote as a wall poster with a kitten on it

I realize it’s just because they’re trying to introduce the audience to the concept of Pokemon and everything but nothing will ever be funnier to me than prof oak being like “these are creatures called Pokemon, they live in all sorts of environments!” like imagine if you met a biology professor and they were like ‘I’ve been studying these intriguing creatures called “animals’

fair-itself

I maintain that Pokemon starts to make a lot more sense when you stop thinking of the Professors as biologists and start thinking of them as children’s science communicators, which, in a world where children as young as 10 are expected to make their way in a world populated by superpowered fauna almost entirely alone, stands as an important and laudable career. “There are 150 animals” becomes the in-universe equivalent of “There are three states of matter.” There’s too much information in this field to dump on a grade-schooler all at once, so Professor Oak is here to mete out animal facts as they become relevant in an easy-to-understand way.

That being said, I would love to see what kind of shit the real Pokemon biologists are on. I’m just imagining some disheveled, overcaffienated researcher writing a grant proposal for their study on why certain wingull seem to evolve into pelipper faster when they hatched in the winter or something. There’s bird shit on their glasses. They haven’t left the lighthouse in months. This is their life’s work. Ash Ketchum doesn’t need to know about real Pokémon biology.

here at the sandwich shop, we’ve started to notice some people who are new to sandwiches aren’t used to meat and cheese between two slices of bread. they find this practice strange and confusing. that’s why we’ve decided to cut the bread out all together. from now on, we’ll just serve slices of meat and cheese on a plate.

we know that many of our loyal sandwich shop customers have been coming here for years to buy our delicious sandwiches. but some people don’t “get” sandwiches, and we need to try and appeal to them with an easier-to-understand meal format. we will no longer be serving sandwiches. all of our food will just be cold cuts on a paper plate. we love our customers and appreciate your understanding <3

this website's moderation sucks ass and it has a terrible bot problem and there are an enormous amount of bugs but thankfully we have a staff team hard at work not addressing any of these but instead making shitty ui changes that nobody wants

Does anyone remember what happened to Radio Shack?

They started out selling niche electronics supplies. Capacitors and transformers and shit. This was never the most popular thing, but they had an audience, one that they had a real lock on. No one else was doing that, so all the electronics geeks had to go to them, back in the days before online ordering. They branched out into other electronics too, but kept doing the electronic components.

Eventually they realize that they are making more money selling cell phones and remote control cars than they were with those electronic components. After all, everyone needs a cellphone and some electronic toys, but how many people need a multimeter and some resistors?

So they pivoted, and started only selling that stuff. All cellphones, all remote control cars, stop wasting store space on this niche shit.

And then Walmart and Target and Circuit City and Best Buy ate their lunch. Those companies were already running big stores that sold cellphones and remote control cars, and they had more leverage to get lower prices and selling more stuff meant they had more reasons to go in there, and they couldn't compete. Without the niche electronics stuff that had been their core brand, there was no reason to go to their stores. Everything they sold, you could get elsewhere, and almost always for cheaper, and probably you could buy 5 other things you needed while you were there, stuff Radio Shack didn't sell.

And Radio Shack is gone now. They had a small but loyal customer base that they were never going to lose, but they decided to switch to a bigger but more fickle customer base, one that would go somewhere else for convenience or a bargain. Rather than stick with what they were great at (and only they could do), they switched to something they were only okay at... putting them in a bigger pond with a lot of bigger fish who promptly out-competed them.

If Radio Shack had stayed with their core audience, who knows what would have happened? Maybe they wouldn't have made a billion dollars, but maybe they would still be around, still serving that community, still getting by. They may have had a small audience, but they had basically no competition for that audience. But yeah, we only know for sure what would happen if they decided to attempt to go more mainstream: They fail and die. We know for sure because that's what they did.

I don't know why I keep thinking about the story of what happened to Radio Shack. It just keeps feeling relevant for some reason.
