They’ve all been secretly addicted to coca. Only explanation.

To be fair, it does seem a bit logical to me that if you’ve got 10 terrorists engaging hundreds of people who are armed, you could potentially decrease the total death toll compared to 10 terrorists engaging hundreds of unarmed people. *shrug*

Yep, I was just surprised that a few of them actually did. Guess they were really jonesing for a treat.

About 40 of the 50 states do not have any common-law unions. So, in the eyes of the law in most states, you’re either married, or you’re basically roommates. So, need to be married to make medical decisions, get the tax benefits, etc.

Well, to be fair, all the most powerful acronyms are three letters, right?

That sketch, tho.....

Am I the only one that thought ‘too far’ after seeing ‘degloved’ and ‘penis’ in close proximity? I’m still cringing. I think the association has damaged part of my soul.

Rock on! Maybe I’ll have to find and read the rest of the Uplift Saga.

Hey, nothing wrong with sci-fi!

Good call, I think. I so rarely do pictures. Guess I’ll get someone to take one that pops more, at some point.

Oh, yes. :( Just removed the dog picture, actually. The dog was sort of inherited from my ex’s mother, and they couldn’t take him, so left him with me. Well, my ex started making a bunch of complaints about it being her dog, and wanting to visit, and I didn’t want to give her an in to keep coming by my place, so long…

Hah, thanks for the response. Sorry you got Kinja’d :P

Yeah, I was drinking a case of Barq’s (caffeinated root beer) every day many years ago. Going off it suddenly was pretty hellish. The headaches, particularly.

Lots of good points. And I have done lots of changing and improving over the years. I had never so much as dated or even kissed a girl before I was 24, but that relationship built up my experience and confidence, so when that blew up in my face and finally officially ended in March/April this year, I had no problem…

Hah, well, I guess it must work for some people.

Bummer. Yeah, I dated someone not long ago who was about an hour away in Toms River, and that was a bit rough. I can deal with it if someone is worth it, but I’d probably need one or both of us to move eventually to make it work. So, I’ve been mostly looking in a tighter area lately. I’ve considered moving to…

Yeah, I’m pretty much ruling out Tinder. Maybe it’s just my area or something, but I’ve been fooling with it since maybe June or earlier, and had maybe 3-4 matches that actually led to conversations, compared to many many dozens of either scammers, or people who just never respond, or respond once with ‘Hi’ and then…

Thanks! Good suggestions, and I think you’re right. I’ll start making changes. I suppose I do have a bit of bitterness/cynicism, but I suppose it’s best to bury that for first impressions, and it’s not really a defining part of me.

Lol, OK, fair enough. Maybe I’ll look into that further, do some research. Danke.

Danke
