Is that…a Michael Jackson / David Bowie mashup?
I’m digging the 5 o’clock shadow.
Our forefathers went to war to free themselves from tyranny. This country was born through bloodshed. Time is a river, and we have been through these rapids time and time again; deference to authoritarian figures will result in authoritarianism.
Wake up. Stop capitulating. We only have a republic if we can keep it.
You don’t have to convince me, you have to convince Joe voter in Penn’s woods who voted W then Obama and then Trump and then Biden. Joe from Pennsylvania measures his vote by his gut and not so much the issues. He picks a president, not a team.
And right now all Joe’s hearing is how Biden is more senile than anyone ever thought.
The hospital that I worked for had a mini med plan that we paid into as that’s all our rural hospital could afford. It was a terrifying time to be alive.
I know a lot of people who like to dip French fries in Ranch dressing, which is like sour cream with extra steps.
My job.
Jungle Bird if they have Campari. I recently went to Miami and had the best one I’ve ever had. It’s the perfect balance of sweet and bitter, I highly recommend.
If no Campari then I’ll usually do an old fashioned or manhattan.
Saying things out in the open that have long been shadow policy. Remember it was Russia and China that helped push SK troops out of NK when the war was hot 70 years ago. The hermit kingdom continues to exist because of aid from those countries.
For a long time the world was mostly aligned that more nuclear armed countries added risk, slowing proliferation, but there’s a reason the great powers key allies somehow seemed to still implement successful nuclear programs.
It puts the whole climate change “controversy” in perspective for me. It’s not controversial, these people just have a death wish. It’s best if we just move along without them, where possible, and don’t let them get in our way.
I was dating this girl, was going well. We fooled around, had a lovely time. She just seemed cooler than me in many ways, had cool hobbies, hung out with cool people, I was kinda feeling like I scored.
Then one day 3 weeks later I did. For some reason she didn’t want to on her bed, so instead we attempted the act on the living room couch, she had roommates. Her shirt came off exposing her back and it just didn’t look right, I can’t explain it, was like her ribs were sunken in like a corset and her backbone was curved in this scoliosis kinda way. I was confused and my member went a bit limp. I think she could tell, but we went ahead anyway. Then the couch cushions just kept sinking and getting in the way. Me with a half limp dick and these awkward positions, neither of us really feeling it and yet we still continued on. The whole thing just felt pathetic.
We hung out a few times after, but it always felt like the ending of 1984, where the couple have all of that vibrant life sucked out of them. The relationship was over shortly thereafter.
A decade later, I haven’t seen her since. We’re still friends on Facebook.
Like a pillow princess, but somehow worse.
Just like they had doubt about Hillary. Show me one woman presidential nominee that polls over 50% in the US.
Call me skeptical or jaded or what have you, but I think if you ban political donations that are transparent in the public square, you’re only going to get more bribes and greased palms.
Kind of like how a prohibition on alcohol or drugs or gambling results in more organized crime. I fear it’s a part of the human condition.
Instead, I’d much rather see a public blockchain, where donations could be tracked and reported, and have laws against the donations that are placed in secret.
