The phrase is Democrats fall in love, Republicans fall in line.

But I don’t think it’s really all that accurate. It’s more like Republicans fall in line, Democrats come to terms with.

And we will.

Also, Biden was not bad at the job. Few had the knowledge of the levers of power to keep shit running with Republican/Sinema/Manchin obstruction.

But he is four years older, and I hope moving to a different candidate works out. Democrats should love a chance to vote for a totally new candidate who keeps most of the same mildly progressive agenda.

But I will say if she doesn’t stick with the plan to reform the Supreme Court I will be extremely disappointed.

To add to this, he had looked up several targets, including Biden. So it was likely as you say, a psychotic break followed by lashing out, rather than a partisan choice.

“Johnny Dangerously” came to mind once.

Once.

A few times I’ve been there for friends and helped them through rough times just by being someone to talk to.

But I also helped my best friend and roommate by paying most of the bills while he developed his IT/engineering skills. He’s got a good career now but struggled for a few years.

Then I took someone in a couple months ago and she’s staying in my attic now. That’s going well, my wife and I get along great with her. Hopefully it’ll all turn out well.

There were three women who were best friends, took their breaks together, etc. And in the Christmas season they wore matching knit sweaters and would walk down the hall side by side so it would read “Ho! Ho! Ho!”

But one day when I was leaving the break room, they approached… and one was out sick. Before I could stop myself I asked “Where’s the other Ho?”

Might’ve gotten a visit to HR from it if I hadn’t looked so shocked at myself.

Thank you, that was a long standing problem for me, and it got a lot easier to just put myself out there and see what would happen. Not just romantically but socially in general.

It served me well.

While tripping on a large dose of LSD, I decided to practice with my new and incredibly sharp wood chisels on a block of pine.

Amazingly I didn’t cut myself at all.

My friend found a stop motion animated clay Don Quixote, where the clay work was rough and you could see thumbprints. It was the perfect vibe for tripping and carving, the gouges I was making in the wood looked like the clay, and bit by bit I made that block into a volcano.

In order to do that I kept twisting my right arm (I’m left handed) clockwise, and when I came down from the hallucinogens, the nerves in my arm went dead. Hand just slid off the keyboard.

It was fine twenty minutes later. And that’s my story, the best acid trip I ever had. Worked through my obsessions a bit and let go of them.

In the following weeks I asked three women out and got shot down each time instead of thinking about doing so for a month and being a creep.

I took the opposite tack.

You ain’t shit, Pythagoras! You just wrote it down, you didn’t figure it out, you absolute fucking fraud. We’re taking your immortality back!

They were natural stone formations carved and excavated, long long ago. Then parts collapsed so they’re called tombs.

Just a coincidence that several of them contain kings. Can’t really explain that part.

Maybe when you call something like a tomb, treasure starts to spawn there randomly.

I was amazed at how few people thought she was a plant.

It’s not that hard to get someone in a mod position. Then they just have to be a whackjob on air. Mission accomplished.

Vaguely similar to the Occupy Wall Street protests. Interview several people across the country then cherry pick the ways they disagree with each other to call it a disunified movement. All you really need is one discordant voice.

Burnout, stress, depression, overwhelmed, any number of things could be going on.

Talk to your professors and an advisor, see what resources they have for you.

But also understand this says NOTHING bad about you, and in fact recognizing you are struggling and need help is a good sign.

That would start a religion.

They loved their numerology back then.

I worked awake overnight shifts in group homes before I got into my current line of work.

Plenty of time to study as the work is a little cleaning, a little paperwork, and some dealing with clients.

Most people just watched TV all night.

My nephew does that and loves it. He gets to scan old materials to preserve them.

Okay.

Make that argument in court.

I know there are lots of people who disagree with me. I’m okay with that. But I’m also in no position to make a difference here.

What he did wasn’t publishing. He dumped sensitive data. In my opinion.

It’s just silly to think he doesn’t have to deal with the trial. If he is innocent, let the fucking system decide that.

I can think that Chelsea Manning, Edward Snowden, and Julian Assange did brave things and still think they should stand trial.

In Assange’s case I think he went way way too far, but was still brave.

I’m mostly annoyed by all this yammering that there is one true opinion here and that everyone else is deluded, as if this wasn’t a huge event with ongoing consequences.

Nuance is important if you’re gonna understand anyone’s viewpoints.

I was just being silly as this is about spoofs and not parodies.

Almost by definition that’s a parody.

But that’s also an extremely fine line.
