I enjoyed this series as a teen, many years ago. Wasn’t until a few years ago that I found out the author and his wife were scumbags of the highest order.

I’m not the person you asked, but I’ve been on my CPAP for a year now. Yes, it does what they say, but I hate it with a passion. She can sleep, but now I wake up 4 times a night feeling like the damn thing is suffocating me.

different personal experience here. CPAP works, I don’t snore, my wife is happier. A year in, I HATE it. no matter what mask I try, how I sleep, I fucking hate it. Now I’m miserable and waking up all night because I feel like the damn thing is smothering me. And she wonders why I’d rather sleep down stairs.

well, sort of. Trying to offset Republican gerrymandering with Democratic gerrymandering. whether the scales balance will be a good question in 6-12 months. Gotta love the two party system…

The only thing ‘special’ here is the timing. Usually both sides wait until after the census to put their thumbs on the scale. Now the more sane parts of the Republican party know that they’re in trouble if they don’t break the system further while they have a chance. If more people vote in freer, fairer elections, they’ll lose. Meanwhile The Democratic Do-nothings know if they don’t rally some sort of defense, they might not have a chance to come midterms.

so. effing. tired.

But two of those are fictional characters… Which two is an exercise left to the reader.

MAY have?

Definitely effing did.

I feel compelled to say “Yeah TOAST!”

clicked through for this comment. Thank you.

This. That’d be a fantastic sandwich if you melted that cheese, toasted the bun, and sauteed or grilled the onion.

::glares:: Well done. 😆

The robots stole our jobs! next they’re coming for your cars!

Can we leave it that way?

This really my wife’s story, but: Person: “That really bottles my mind!” My Wife: “You mean ‘boggles’ my mind?” Person: “No, its Bottle.” Ooookay.

I don’t know your backgrounds or motivations, but that simple a response feels flippant.

I too believe that you should obviously resist and try to counter someone who wants to stamp down the “other” just because they are the other. But simple talk probably shouldn’t warrant execution, unless you want those same rules to apply against you as well. Fight them with words and actions, yes. Discredit the speaker and their ideas, embarrass them, ostracize them. Drive them and their bass-ackwards views out of polite society. I know this is difficult in the current environment. They appear to have no shame. But I think the bar for for violence has to be higher.

I wont shed any tears for this guy. I wont use his name. I want him to be forgotten. But I don’t think his killing should be celebrated either.

They want pity and/or retribution for him for him, then there’s a list he needs to get on. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melissa_Hortman

I agree with you in principle. It sucks a well-worded dissenting opinion is getting downvoted. I’m not an advocate for political killings. But I want to pose a counter question… When does it become acceptable to cross this line? When can an otherwise reasonable person give up on a broken system, and go from political resistance to violent resistance? Because for a lot of people, their rights, their lives, and their futures are under attack. Both politically AND with the full force of the government.

Hummed to the tune of “Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes”. Everytime I leave the house…

Keys, Glasses, Wallet, Phone, Wallet, Phone…

They do this occasionally, where they’ll replay them over the course of a week or something. I recently read that there are also ways to play them in offline mode through mods.

“I don’t hate you specifically… My hate is universal.”

This. “Lets try it again, just to be sure.” ::watches them put it to sleep with the soft power button::
