“Can’t meet you guys at the bar for drinks we are about to bomb Yemen. Don’t wait up, my boy JD and I are going to get blackout drunk and try to drift a motorcade vehicle around the lincoln memorial.” Or something to that effect.

Project scheduling programs. Primavera, Microsoft Project, Asta Powerproject. All of them are uniquely awful in their own way, and yet I still have to pay for them in order to work in my field.

My phones autocorrect has been garbage recently. I feel like a few years ago, it was much better at predicting what I meant to type, and I could easily edit on mobile using the suggested corrections. But now it is worse. Even with words or names I use all the time.

“Bending the knee” means kneeling before (usually) royalty. It’s a physical representation that the person standing deserves respect and therefore the person has lowered themselves to the ground on one knee.

Isn’t this what his employees have been saying about him for years? From what I understand, he comes up with ideas using his super genius big boy brain. He then puts insane deadlines and requirements on his employees (the engineers actually doing the work). Then, he’ll want to alter the design and expect immediate compliance and ridicule them for not being as intelligent as he wants them to be.

He is running Doge like one of his businesses. But it is an entirely different thing, and shockingly moving quickly and breaking things destabilizes a govorning structure. Who knew? /s

We are so fucked.

It’s interesting to see the hate for this pope from both sides. I’ve seen many comments from the atheist perspective, rightfully calling out his protection of child molestors and rapists. And at the same time, read comments from “religious” people excited for his death because he dared to be liberal on a few points.

Damned if you don’t, damned if you do. I guess. /s

Almost like a singular figurehead interpreting ancient texts for application in the modern world doesn’t work.

Executive orders don’t work for things like reigning in corporate greed. They work for everything else. But helping a large portion of the nations backbone? Can’t do it. Won’t even try.

Batya Ungar-Sargon insisted. “This is a man with Aspergers exuberantly throwing his heart to the crowd. We don’t need to invent outrage.”

This is a man who has been in the public eye for decades. He has given speeches to crowds before. At no point has he spontaneously seig heiled as a means of expressing emotions before. He knew exactly what he was doing. He felt secure surrounded by this crowd and took the opportunity to make a statement… and they fucking cheered.

It makes me want to throw up. I am exhausted by these articles. It reminds me of the narcissits prayer. -That didn’t happen. -And if it did, it wasn’t that bad. -And if it was, that’s not a big deal. -And if it is, that’s not my fault. -And if it was, I didn’t mean it. -And if I did, you deserved it. They give him an inch and he takes a mile.

This is the most incredibly selfish thing I could possibly imagine. An old man moping about his inability to cling to power for another minute. As the next generations look on, begging for someone to act.

He paints Trump as a villain (rightfully so) but is so pathetic that he is unable to rise to any heroism. At least go out swinging.

Don’t know what I expected. But it is a slap in the fucking face to hear this.

I wish that would affect them. Even just to pause and reflect. They won’t. It hasn’t been about the teachings of Christ for a long time.

Where the hell did they find this guy? Did he get the position purely based on the fact that he looks like the villain in a WW2 movie?

I know he has been in Trump’s orbit for a while, but seriously. Was there no one else remotely qualified?

I thought HACKS won? Although Jeremy Allen White did win for lead in a comedy. Thats 3 years in a row. I like the show and his portrayal, but thats absurd. There are so many great comedies with fantastic actors that have been snubbed and he gets the honor 3 times?

Not fucking happy about it. Worst possible outcome.

Wait, this is a possibility? That’s awesome

It never ceases to amaze me that the party of ‘family values’ and ‘traditional families’ doesn’t have a single member that fits that category. They are all sex obsessed sleezebags that cheat on each other and sexually assualt people.

I suggest donating your time or skills to helping others in some way. It doesn’t have to be a great endeavor, especially because I am sure nursing and taking care of people is emotionally draining.

I started assistant coaching a local kids’ sports team that had very little funding. Turns out that it was incredibly rewarding to work with kids and watch them grow. I also found friends in other coaches who had similar interests to me. We could always commiserate over complaining about waking up early for practice or certain kids that were difficult, and friendships grew from there.

Maybe kids aren’t your cup of tea. But I have always gotten a seratonin boost from helping other people. That might be an easy place start. Aside from that, maybe a hobby that requires you to interact with others. The first thing that pops into my head is glass blowing, because there is a shop in my town. You can take a class with other people, if you hate it then it wasn’t too expensive of a trial because they have all the equipment. If you like it then you can participate more with the shop. Something along those lines?

Spikes have never been my style, so forgive the potentially obvious question. Don’t these snag on everything and annoy the hell out of you? Sometimes, the hairtie I keep on my wrist catches on something, and it is the worst (mild inconvenience). Maybe the spikes make you more intentional with your movements, or more patient?

Not that the actions of the Taliban ever “make sense,” but doesn’t having less trained midwives lead to a decrease in population caused by pregnancy complications? This is just additional cruelty to women with absolutely no benefit.

Desperately wanted to watch Young Frankenstein in the week before Halloween. It’s just the right kind of relaxing spooky comedy. Tried to find it legally. Honestly tried for longer than I am willing to admit. For a few years, the subscriptions were just so convenient, and I didn’t have to worry about getting a virus or knowing which link to click. Well, no Young Frankenstein was the final straw. Bring on the high seas!
