Classic time theft/tar theft combo.

I don’t know that I’m ready to accept your premise. But I like lying on the floor watching TV, etc. because it feels nice on my back.

We really did fuck them over, but I’m not sure it’s the best comparison in that I don’t think Hawaii had any real military of its own (it was a big deal in the late 1800s when they had commissioned a single new warship.) And not only did it lack allies, but multiple countries were simultaneously and openly vying to be the first to steal it.

Having said that, would Canada’s allies really do more than they did when Russia invaded Ukraine? Seems doubtful. George Orwell was horrifyingly prescient when he predicted the world nuclear weapons would lead to.

Learning to read at all is just opening yourself up to all sorts of new avenues of attack.

What’s the sedentarism connection? I thought maybe I misunderstood the definition, but it means what I thought and I guess I’ve never heard of the idea.

“Why is your work late again!?”

“…exactly. Why, indeed?”

Oh, dear, did you all not receive notice about the new bypass?

You said it so much more elegantly than I had it in my head.

What did physics ever do to you?

You’re nice, so I feel like I have to admit I was just fucking with you a bit. I intentionally worded it in a way that continued to sound just a little too effusive, because it was funny to me.

I do think that coming from a background of severe abuse makes you more of an underdog, in general. It’s certainly not setting you up for success. I’m not praising or condoning their heinous acts, at all. It’s awful, unthinkable stuff, which is why I said:

which most of us could never dream of doing.

The asterisks were to emphasize that most people could never even think of doing this stuff–it’s not even an easy thing to discuss.

Most of them also had terrible, traumatic childhood experiences that helped shape them and enabled them to accomplish their various feats, which most of us could never dream of doing.

“Low-life” and “scumbag” are kind of the shitty versions of underdogs.

I think the answer is no. It would only be possible with very small numbers. Even by the time you’ve reached 100, it’s not going to happen again.

Hot pizza rolls straight from the oven = DIY popcorn ceiling.

Not just any guy, but Marilyn Manson, who used to play Paul on The Wonder Years. I’m not sure what was more shocking, learning about this, or learning of Mark Paul Gosselaar’s fatal motorcycle crash. Taken from us far too soon.

Balatro!

If you read it in an old-timey accent, it does make it funnier, like most things.

Oh.
