I mean... I'll check with my banks to see if they're cool with waiting, but I'm thinking no. Four months and I've gotten... 2 or 3 second interviews.

I'm not in the habit of saving them. But there are three menstruating women in the house, so what I lack in aging I can make up for in quantity. I just need his address.

Kidding. I'm certain it would be illegal as fuck.

I think it's still interesting. Especially if the marketing has changed drastically.

Don't go back.

They do want them to breed to make more little kids, though.

Should I just send a bag of used tampons?

Find a way to make the world you leave better than the one you entered. That's it. It can be something small or it can be something big. If you've already made it a little better, try to make it a lot better.

Therapy and medication can help a lot, too, but if you're determined to go it alone, that's my advice.

Just let me know when the economy is hiring Sr. devs and team leads. I'm happy for the economy, and I'm happy for everyone benefitting from it. But shit is looking dark for some.

This couldn't be more true. Don't fucking lift that two man lift at work that you can totally do it by yourself because you're young and strong and maybe you've done it a dozen times before. Just don't fucking do it. I'm fucking begging you to learn from my mistake. One time was all it took for me to have a lifetime of problems since my 30's. I know the exact moment I ruined my back. 30 years later I can remember how that pop felt. It didn't even hurt bad enough at the time to need time off work. I thought I was still just fine. Ten years later, nope.

And now that I'm fifty, everything hurts. It hurts to lay down in bed. It hurts when I get up in the morning. I lifted a 1gal. bottle and was bedridden for a week. My own kids had to watch me spend ten minutes crawling up a flight of stairs to my bed; they were crying and scared that the guy who was their Superman couldn't even stand up. I promise you, it can happen and you're rolling the dice every time you do it.

Not gonna lie. If I found an open Chi-Chis, I'd probably eat there. More out of nostalgia than anything but that used to be one of my favorite places.

You know, obviously I disagree with you. But I respect you for not deleting your comments and for continuing to engage earnestly with people who were upset by it. I understand your disappointment with not ever getting a president who really moves the ball forward.

Until a progressive candidate can get elected in the swing states or there is a massive shift in the Overton window, I don't think you're going to get what you want. I'd like the world to be a better place, too. Shit, depending on the next 4 years, it's likely I won't live to see a liberal Supreme Court again, let alone tear down the corporate capture of our government.

Kamala has proven she can inspire people and that she can win. And I said before Biden even stepped down, if he goes, it has to be her or we risk losing black voters whom we can't win without. Now she's bringing them in droves. And the more registered Democrats, the greater our chances of really moving the country left in a meaningful way. She's the right choice, whether she's the best choice or not.

Anyway, be well.

Slow and steady is key.

Yeah. I tried "If you vote for Trump, you're a racist." That didn't go well.

What worked better was 4 granddaughters and a gay grandson. Sometimes you just have to play the long game.

Maybe his nepotistic kids with their stupid fucking faces could join him there.

That is about as unfun a fact as I can think of.

Your server also had to be patched for that to work I think.

I don't blame myself for Trump, and I don't blame the Palestinian people for Hamas. We don't always get to pick who is in power or control their actions once they get there.

Let's be compassionate.

Respect? That's sheer terror. If you've rebooted and the problem remains, you have an actual problem they need to troubleshoot.

"Have you rebooted twice? Have you rebooted fifteen times?"

I think he's a natural pairing with Donald Trump, the philanderer. They can bring one girl back home without it getting "weird."

Oh. Look. It's the exact message we all knew was coming. "Good thing we got rid of Biden, but now we have another terrible candidate."

Coup is a word with a lot of power, particularly given Jan. 6th. They have to make it meaningless. It's the same reason they try to hang fascism on Democrats because they have to weaken the power of that word and make it seem like Nazi is just another mundane political attack that everyone uses and means nothing. Then when they bring actual fascists up on the stage with them and they get called Nazis, they can just say it's the pot calling the kettle black.
