Deep vein thrombosis. I sit on my ass all goddamn day and get pains in my legs. It’s gonna happen.

You are the hero we need AND the hero we deserve.

God, I’m terribly sorry. That is anguishing. As you grieve, try to remember how much she loved you and how awesome her life was being loved by you in return. She was very lucky to be your companion. I’m glad you found each other and had each other. Loss is the worst, but the combination of grief and guilt... I can’t…

I took my kids to their school’s “Haunted Hallways” event while wearing a mask. I was told I could not wear a mask inside and I had to remove it.

How about the fact that he perjured himself? He lied under oath when he was confirmed as a federal judge about not receiving those stolen Democratic documents in his emails, which we now know he did receive.

To the person QQ’ing about truth and dissent: we are not here for circle-jerks. It’s just that productive discussion only happens when we get rid of trolls and assholes.

Wow, I am so proud of everyone for leaving the shitty comments to languish in the grays. Well done, fam. Keep on ignoring and dismissing as needed.

Thanks for this, I hadn’t seen it.

Is it really unhealthy though, or does it just make a fearsomely murderous immune system that much more badass? I go back and forth between ‘cut off the bad piece’ and ‘ew toss it’ but I bet I’ve eaten a goodly amount of nasty hyphae in my short time on this earth. It seems good to avoid it more for the grossout…

Ughhh. He is such enraging garbage. Thank you for recounting the story.

I will attend your party. It can’t come too soon.

If I may ask— what was the worst thing he did? (Ignore this question if the answer would be doxxing.)

Right? I almost like when they come out blazing like that. The stupidity is forehead-slapping, but it saves time and energy.

Awww, I was so mad at people like you back in the day, yet doing my own dumb stuff. Youth is a hell of a thing, glad you came around.

They didn’t offer you a sedative beforehand? That’s kind of terrible practice, because it helps to be calm for the procedure. Even if you have only one job (look straight at the light) it’s good to not be in panic mode because MY EYES WHAT HAVE I DONE.

When I saw him, my LASIK surgeon had just gotten an award for doing his 16,000th procedure and he had it displayed on the wall. He was also in the practice of trying to fix cut-rate LASIK jobs done elsewhere that had ruined people’s... corneas iirc? Thinned them out too much maybe? It was very reassuring. However,…
