I think the only vaccine is to be in a healthy relationship already so you don’t have interest.

I don’t think that’s the way it works. Be in a healthy relationship so you don’t fall for it maybe, but we aren’t dead here.

He also says that he has backups, so “lost” seems a little apocalyptic. Hard to feel too bad for someone who is that invested in a corporation though.

I hope that you get over it soon. Coughing is the worst. I’d rather have hallucination levels of fever than have a bad cough.

It blows my mind what Putin keeps getting away with. Nukes? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Maybe (OK, this won’t happen, but I like to imagine it would), someone will figure out how to use one of the hundreds of chat programs that are out there, github or wherever, and get that going. Still able to be social with their group, without having all the bullshit social decline that comes from using the big chat platforms.

Yes.

Right wingers are freaking idiots. I wouldn’t let anything that comes from that bunch of xenophobic, racist, strong-man-loving turds. Asking a right winger to explain their viewpoint will just make you feel dumber. Why are you even caring what some stupid, inbred, shallow-thinking bigots think or say?

I wasn’t sure if Garry was commenting on his own code, or someone was calling Garry out on Garry’s code. Either way, your comment works.

A couple of decades ago, my entire family decided we’d all just go on vacation together. No gifts, just enjoy the company. It was fantastic. Since then, almost every x-mas I go on a trip. I’ve been broke forever, so often these trips are just a week or so camping. People are welcome to come along, but if not, they know that I’m not part of any festivities they have planned. I still get a little pit-of-the-stomach feeling when the time of year rolls back around again, but it is far less than it used to be, and I find myself feeling much better for the coming year.

Maybe not suppose to exist in their current size (the same could be said for a lot of large cities), but humans have lived in both for thousands of years.

There is also a lot of info about the CIA teaching the Iranian gov’t effective torture techniques. I totally understand the animosity.

I was talking to someone the other day about the freedom that was felt in the music and movies of the time due, in my opinion, to the constantly hovering cold war end-of-the-world.

China is such a dick. I know, I know, a lot of countries are dicks, I get that. But good Buddha they go out of their way to antagonize. And then they respond super belligerently in an official response to questions about said dickishness.

Chariot progressive. Listen. Mandelbrot set is in motion. Echo Choir has been breached, we are fielding the ball.

Time to post the classics Bill Hicks and George Carlin.

Probably not what you’re looking for, but I thought I’d leave this classic for your consideration.
