Remember that time you said you were gonna travel? You were gonna go to Japan, you said. Too late now. You’re too tired, you don’t have any money. All you have is the Sloth Demon.

That’s the wombo combo of depression and poverty.

No, Mr. Hog. I expect you to die.

We have become as gods! No longer are we bound by the petty moralities of others! We chart and follow our own courses!

Damn Dostoevsky! I ain’t reading all that! Can you summarize it further? Maybe over a nightcore background track?

They did though? Not directly naming them, but the final paragraph lays out how traditional journals of record are being destroyed by direction “from the top”.

I still don’t trust Newsom. It was good that the article called out his position during the podcast interviews with his conservative guests.

Smorty, you’re already magical for the rest of us!

See, that’s the thing: I know it was against any arbitrary charges that were known to come, but as you say - MAGA won’t hold themselves to reason, so rational preemption won’t work. And the actual crimes Hunter was convicted of during that time were absolved. All after Biden Sr avowed he would not pardon him.

I don’t have children, so I cannot fault his devotion to his kid, but I still feel that justice was not (and maybe could never be) had, and that the position and responsibility of president and presidential pardon were severely cheapened as a result.

“Being a good father,” Biden said.

Do good fathers exonerate their children for corruption?

I recognize that Hunter was a target of right-wing lawfare, but I maintain that a blanket parden of all ‘nonviolent crimes’ for over a decade is the wrong tool for the job.

I guess not 1:1, but it depends on what effect you’re looking to substitute. Caffeine pills will do what you want, but remove the flavor of coffee.

Mixing drinks and changing lives!

How long do you think it would take to disabuse those victims of the propaganda? How many would never be cured? And could they be made more resistant to further ultranationalist propaganda?

Weeds? Those are tea-and-coffee substitutes!

Which is your favorite “boy” hobby?

I love the exchange, but the backdrop of capitalism demanding results is grim.

I just want everyone to enjoy exploring and sharing without worrying about grants…

That would only hurt the Democratic Party if it split at approximately the same ratio as the Republican Party. If half of Republicans split while only a tenth of Democrats split, the results favor Democrats majorly.

That said, we don’t have anywhere near enough data.

CURSES! Foiled again! My intricate and devious traps were sprung by delicious yogurt! I will just have so stew and plan our next battle over some more yogurt.

I’m ace, so YMMV, but anything going in my mouth is looking to catch teeth.

I always love seeing old keyboards with the pen groove along the top.

My cat is getting used to a harness that is just the strings. Is there a difference between that and yours which is more jacket-like?
