When you’re such a mess that not even Republic Sanitation is gonna come deal with you.

He always drove better after a few drinks.

I find being honest with myself to be easy anymore. It’s not something I’ve always been good at but I’ve worked on it. Understanding myself is still hard at times. If I’m feeling a certain way about something, sometimes I have to pause for a while to think about why.

Example: the wife and I have an argument about something (which is rare) and I take offense to something she said. She never says anything with the intent of offending me. I know this even though I’m feeling angry. Instead of just reacting in anger, I like to put a pause on the discussion, be alone for a while, and think about why I was offended.

The reasons vary but I pretty much always figure it out, after which I’m ready to resume the discussion with, it nothing else, a little more clarity.

He was an incredibly talented artist. I think his father deserves most of the blame for Michael’s bizarre behavior. Most adults would struggle with the pressures of fame and performing that he spent his whole life under from the time he was like 10 years old. Joe recognized that his kids were talented and then proceeded to squeeze every last red cent he could out of them. No wonder Michael snapped.

If Eisenhower were alive, he would probably be horrified by the military-industrial complex that has grown into a monster far beyond anything he could possibly have conceived when he warned against it in 1959. Every single weapon that we possess beyond what is absolutely necessary for a reasonable defense constitutes theft from the American people.

There is no other honest way to describe spending $1Trillion dollars a year on “defense” than theft because it can only be accomplished by stealing health and welfare, mostly from the poorest Americans.

CT Scan imagery. Apparently medical clinics have finally graduated from faxes to optical media. This was in 2025.

It happens but it’s rare. My wife initially asked me out. It wasn’t that I was afraid to ask her out. My first marriage was really bad. I was still working through that and didn’t feel like I was ready for a relationship.

For the sake of honesty, I told her pretty much exactly that. She almost changed her mind. Too many previous dates that were either “divorced” or “getting divorced” only to eventually discover that their wives were not at all aware of this sudden change in their relationship status.

Instead, for whatever reason she said, “That’s ok. We can just go have some fun. No pressure at all.” That was 8 years ago.

Be the kind of person you would want a relationship with. This applies to friendships as well as romantic relationships.

Also, don’t be afraid to shoot your shot, OP. You ever been to a trap range? The clay pigeons are gonna keep flying even if you’re not shooting at them. The only way you stand any chance of hitting one is to aim in front of it and pull the trigger. If you miss, it’s no biggie. Another one will come flying along shortly.

They knew each other vaguely in high school. She moved away for college and came back to her home town to visit famlly some years later. He probably sings and taught himself to play the guitar.

TBF, the Bible makes quite a few very direct personal attacks on rich people.

Not that I know of. The shift to Bittorrent after Limewire’s demise pretty much killed new Gnutella client development. There are a few desktop clients still under “active maintenance” but most of them haven’t been updated in ages.

Gnutella network is definitely still active, athough not even close to the level it once was. It has plenty of drawbacks but one of the few advantages over torrents is that it doesn’t need trackers. Just enough clients online to connect with one another.

You can even still find Shareaza with a quick search.

I often VPN to my home network while on the go. The overall web experience is so much worse without DNS level ad blocking.

We just watched it for the first time in forever. My wife and I were both like, “Yeah. This movie is weird.”

He should resign as governor because I guarantee he does not have time to do both jobs at the same time.

That said, Trump received 60.22% of the popular vote in Louisiana in 2024 so I’m gonna guess they’re fine with it. Republican voters are usually fine with their politicians doing nothing to improve society. In fact, that’s kind of a selling point.

Not with that attitude.

“Take time for yourself.”

Goddammit. When am I supposed to fit that in? I don’t have time for this shit
