Now who can argue with that? I think we're all indebted to Gabby Trump for clearly stating what needed to be said. I'm particulary glad that these lovely children were here today to hear that speech. Not only was it authentic frontier gibberish, it expressed a courage little seen in this day and age.

The officials suggested the incident "might cause some awkward encounters at the office in the coming days and weeks".

To say the least. Nothing builds teams like leaving a man behind to die.

They might as well confiscate his Swingline while they're at it.

Not who you were responding to, but it's the insufferable self-righteousness on display here that convinces others to apply the "bad vegan" label. Insofar as an animal or child is able to thrive on a given diet, feed yours whatever you want. I couldn't possibly give a fuck. I don't need to hide behind carnivorous cats as an excuse. I'm going to continue eating as I want and offering no excuses for it. Good day.

They are rustlers, cut throats, murderers, bounty hunters, desperados, mugs, pugs, thugs, nitwits, halfwits, dimwits, vipers, snipers, con men, Indian agents, Mexican bandits, muggers, buggerers, bushwhackers, hornswogglers, horse thieves, bull dykes, train robbers, bank robbers, ass-kickers, shit-kickers and Methodists.

Momentum sustained over here. Would love MFA but there no point in talking about it without the right Congress.

They can just play clips of him admitting out loud he will be a vengeful autocrat.

I guess I shouldn't have said every time. The last two or three times (still used to try to power through just to not go to the ER). They used to give me Vicodin or Dilaudid, but they've gotten super stingy with opioids. Which I understand but for freaking kidney stones???

I get opioids are a big problem for some people but back in the days of over-prescription I'd have spares for years that could help when my back went out or something. I was a very responsible user, frequently not taking them as soon as I could bear the pain without them. They need to get back to a middle ground or find less addicting medicine that works as well.

Donald Trump Doesn’t Care About Black People

We're good. About to turn 51. I think I'll be just about ripe for leadership by then. Gives me time to develop some golf skills.

If you can jump through hoops with doctors and insurance, look into Ajovy. It's the only preventative that helps with my headaches, and it helps really well. But it's an expensive auto-injector and I had to run through several meds that don't work before insurance would approve, and I still need a discount card to help with the copay, but I've had about a 95% reduction in headaches, and the ones I've had were mostly mild and easy to control with Tylenol or at most a triptan.

I haven't had shingles, and my appendix lasted until I could get it out, but I am with you on the kidney stones.

I've had 5 or 6 kidney stones and "the big one" has been harmlessly hiding in my kidneys for a few years. Every time, I think I'm going to power through the pain because the ER only gives you like one or two doses of Toradol and sends you on your way with FlowMax and useless NSAIDs which I can just get off the shelf. I've never powered through the pain. Every time I wind up paying like $250 for 4-6 hours of relief.

To this, I'll add I've had migraines that made me want to drill holes in my skull. They've been bad enough that if I'd had a gun, I'd have used it. I'm not saying they hurt more or less than kidney stones, but I can't tolerate headache pain like that. It's the difference between "my back is in agony" and "existing is agony."

Politics aside, how can you use this image with a misquote? Have you even seen TPB?

I'm announcing my candidacy for the 2064 election.

Getting a handjob in a bookstore as/after closing. I had no idea but they must've seen and left us alone to finish. On our way out I saw the security feed on a monitor trained on where we'd been and someone headed back to that corner of the store. I was 14 or 15 at the time so privacy for fooling around was hard to find, and I was such a horny little fucker.

Lies = content? Wtf?

Zuckerberg

Oh.

Kinda puts my $25 into perspective.

When I die, I want to be remembered happily by a party. I'm not chillin with Jesus or anyone else and I will demand my family not tone down my atheism, but I want to be remembered for the good times I was able to experience with friends and family. I want the fact that I ever existed to be celebrated. They can be sad and support one another other times, but I want them to put the fun in funeral. Remember me with a barbecue and an open bar. Get some strippers dancing to Highway to Hell. Make it Star Wars themed. I hope there's at least one drunken hookup. I want people's last memory of me to be a happy one.

We've got such a short time to exist and so much of it is consumed by sadness and the struggle to get by. I don't want to cause any more grief, or at least I want to balance it when my time is done.

I do enjoy irony. I'm not always sure whether someone is in on the joke or not, but I enjoy it either way.

I think Lemmy is better about this. Certainly better than Reddit or 4chan. I think because of the small community. There are people itching for a fight or to troll, but by and large I've had way more positive interactions here than negative. I think when a community gets sufficiently large, it gets exhausting dealing with so many bitter, damaged people that civility is forgotten or civil members remove themselves as self-care.

I definitely agree with your last point. Everyone is uplifted by positivity.

In the margins are people who will peel away and at least stay home. The people who haven't seen him speak but think they like him based on the curated perspective from Fox News, etc. there are people who will listen to him unfiltered for the first time in a few years and it will be the last straw.
