Cosmic island sized. Then again, it's also connected to the solar system and although it doesn't really extend out you could say it's peninsula sized too, but I think I might be leaning towards planet earth being bay sized.

still surprised @ frownland not being a ginger

brown hair is so mainstream dude

edit - think i must've seen a black n white picture of you and my brain just filled in your hair & beard as ginger

i also just assumed you were from the mid west even though your location says cali cause i dunno... the pictures i saw with you in them looked bleak and mid-westish to me

it seems like the older i get the more my reality is filled in by stereotype-driven assumptions

by the time i'm an old man i'm probably going to regard all chinamen with an inherent suspicion of ninja-like martial arts skills

and walk up to random jews asking for legal/financial advice

He's certainly ginger-adjacent. Anybody with ancestry in the British Isles/Ireland is at least part ginger, and will be susceptible to ginger children.

I myself am brown-haired, but have the skin and freckles of a ginger. I wouldn't be all that surprised if there was also just the slightest tint of red to Frownie's facial hair in the right light, like mine.

I've only got the one ginger in the fam too, with most of the rest of them being pretty dark-haired, but the specter of gingervitis is still there if you look hard enough.

I think intelligence can breed prejudices as much as ignorance. It's pretty easy to develop when you combine a bit of arrogance brought on by being smarter than most of the people around you, some bitterness about being surrounded by so many idiots, and the ability to recognize patterns of behavior in groups of people, without being intellectually vapid enough to be swayed by popular notions of open-mindedness and tolerance that, while well-intentioned and legitimately important for keeping the masses from lynching and stake burning, are still often based more on emotional appeals than cold logic.

I see racism and sexism and whatnot as like myths: not necessarily based on complete bull****, but maybe just a kernel of truth. Black people being lazy is obviously nonsense, but it's easy to see where the idea came from, when they were used as unpaid labor for so long. If I was a slave, I'd take as many opportunities as possible to be a slackass too.
