I wouldn't be terribly opposed to a lord of altruism or comradery,

You fundamentally misunderstand the Tau. They're not altruistic, they're just the least-worst civilization. They're closer to a space Roman Empire than they are to communism. They'll conquer you, put you in a pseudo-slave caste, and collect taxes. They can only claim to be a lesser evil because every other civilization's default response is genocide.

What kind of chaos god would they make?

Probably something to do with absolute control. The Greater Good is an authoritarian philosophy in which individual citizens don't really have any rights. They have certain cultural freedoms of course, but no right to self-determination. For warp-sensitive races that believe in this philosophy, it would show up as a desire to dissolve the ego into the whole. This could create a god which seeks to create a galaxy wide hive-mind of sorts. A sort of warp based Tyranid empire composed of multiple races which would subject entire planets to experimentation for the greater good.

The grimdark part of the Tau empire is that despite being very morally good, they'd still be completely wiped out if any of the other factions considered them a threat.

Also, while this is less confirmed, it's also implied that the Tau's belief in The Greater Good could eventually wind up creating a new warp god leading to the destruction of their civilization. The tau are the equivalent of a squadron of fresh recruits surrounded by entire armies of people who hate them. That's why they still fit in the grimdark universe. They're the plucky, good civilization with no real shot of surviving.

A wasp stung me once 10 years ago so I now murder all wasps' nests I see on sight.

Shouldn't have fucked with the insect equivalent of an eldritch god with the power to wipe out your entire colony with a spray can.

The last thing this universe needs is more anime.

I was like 13 and I wanted to be more adult. Couldn't finish the first cup, after a week I was able to choke it down, by 2 weeks I thought it was okay, by a month I wouldn't have it any other way.

Do you disagree?

The show is really good actually and the animation is cool as well. It's basically one long love letter to early internet animation so if you know you know.

But the creators do have a right-wing cultural slant that shows up in their work. I don't support that of course.

Yeah it's weird. No matter what I do, no matter how long I wait, there's always still some piss left in there.

The only thing that works for me is to sit down, stand up again, and then the you can get the last droplets out. I think male anatomy is just like that tbh.

Windows Vista on my old family desktop.

First Linux distro, if it counts, was the Raspberry Pi OS

Dating Rant:Match with someone on Hinge. We both have autism and hit it off pretty good. Bond over how shitty people expect us to be people we're not and how much we hate navigating NT society. Specifically mention we wish more people would just communicate directly. Continue talking for a few weeks, meet up with her friend group but never go on a 1:1 date. I ask her out 2-3 times but she's always busy or says another time. She stops talking to me eventually. They told a mutual acquaintance we couldn't be friends because "they wouldn't pick up on any of my hints that I wasn't interested."

I'm not even that upset about being rejected. It just sucks that the one person I thought would understand my need for unambiguous language and communication still expected me to be neurotypical.
