pretty sure we’ve seen this act before- it’s the one titled “heh, I know- lets provide xxxxx agency with no funding, then we say ‘see- told ya gummint is shitty [i know what I did here shaddup] - we need to sell that to a private corporation”! Fuck Trump with a basket full of rotting fish heads....

thanks for this- it was important for me to recognize my own line-in-the-sand moment. Like you, it wasn’t the hugest deal [I had cold turkeyed off opium and opiates a couple years earlier - so really?] Unlike you I had a pretty advanced case of garbage head and one day realized EVERY important decision of my life had…

kinda hope I eat these words but not too sure the committee wants to allow somebody like Okla in against Bama when you gotta keep scrolling down and down to find their defensive ranking...

what Makist said and the models back that up : https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/beautiful-minds/the-role-of-luck-in-life-success-is-far-greater-than-we-realized/ I got ranted hard on a site that likes to brag how ‘progressive’ they are when I posted that study- maybe i shut it off when I wrote that yes, those…

Thanks for one of the more coherent responses I’ve read. And in re to the attention AOC gets: Until Sanders got his press there was pretty much NO room for any American politician to get the least bit brazen around Nordic style socialism- I have been waiting almost 50 voting years to see this, and yeah- I am a wee bit…

I hail from [and also occasionally empathize with] the blue collar mouth breathers [ was not surprised at the ‘roll coal’- that was ALL racist anti Obama BS] But I never could have foreseen this... No doubt they will post the pics and achieve glory amongst their tribe.

still have my 93 KLX 650. Not sure why I hold on to it- i’m waaay too old to horse it around. If all that iron falls on me, my bones WILL break . I guess its like a relative you never really loved but because he drives a ‘49 Cat out his 4 mile driveway when the snow’s piled high, you have respect for that…

welp - go ahead. Destroy my dreams of running my 04 Cavalier thru the arroyos of S Colorado..... [but there’s still an old VW bug sittin’ out back in the boneyard ]

mmmm- an un-dead Drew you say?   wait.  was that a noise out there?  

wait- I thought it was the Gummint that was supposed to expose all us preppers’ whereabouts....

excellent- I would only add that making scratch biscuits is worth the few attempts it takes to get ‘em right [and I too came of age on canned ones] ...True story: my GF was going to a tony tea with a bunch of her sanga folk and wanted to take food- I suggested homemade biscuits and she was pretty much aghast. But she…

yeah- not so much fun to get sober a few years later and have to face up to the neglect side of the equation....[and damn- they DO remember shit!] 

Was in my mid 40s when my marriage ended. Some of the collateral results were a stint in rehab and ongoing 12 step meetings. Along the way it was apparent that much of my life had been spent on the fill-in-the-blank basis. As in once I get this : [fill in the blank: money, partner, time, house, bike etc etc] I will…

wait- did I just hear one of those scientists mumble something about “too damn many people on this planet....” ?

IOW you now drive an old VW....like the van i had when going up to Jackson Hole for Xmas meant buying one of those old school coleman catalytic heaters which my wife would fire off so a flame about 4 feet tall would materialize in my rear view mirror... all the while trying to drive ensconced in down sleeping…

sigh....I lived thru the era of Big Fin....guess I’ll just try to hang on til the other side of this. [Guessing here- no one in any of these Mcdesign rooms ever heard the “Emperor has no clothes “ cause I really feel like I’m staring at ugly private parts- best to quickly look away]

It is a systemic horror that we continue to be fine with society paying the hidden costs - the pollution, the global warming - while we seem to be ok with the consolidation of the profits into fewer and fewer hands....

The amount of overt alt right wingers in law enforcement would likely stagger us all if it were to be investigated and publicized. [Even my centrist/left cop friends get all incensed at #blacklivesmatter].... Its why the Dems success at state level elections become so important....and why the Trumpistan judiciary…

ok ok ok - I’m 67 ok....MNF was THE NFL fan’s dream TV because we saw so few games on the 3 networks available to us- so it would not have taken much to be a hit. But there it was- the ex Cowboy [with a twang no less] the straightest of straight men Gifford and Cosell- sort of the William F Buckley/George Plimpton…

This just in- White House may be occupied by tasteless weird cult ....
