I like this.  Thanks.

As someone approaching middle age that entered the housing market just before it crashed in the mid 2000s, I am so frickin’ furious that I listened to what society expected of me.

Absolutely. Not every argument is valid, just because it opposes another viewpoint. Not all viewpoints have merit or worth. Generally speaking, in the United States, there are quite a few voices that don’t deserve platforms/airtime.

I totally understand!

Swap that TV out with a radio and set it to NPR. While the dulcet tones of Steve Inskeep threaten to send me back under, he’s usually got something interesting enough going on that the fog starts to lift. Failing that, David Greene is pretty much guaranteed to say something that will enrage me, and then I’m fully…

He’s a national treasure. I cannot think of a journalist I respect more.

U. S. population is just under 350 million. Assume 42% of those (based on polls) rabidly support Cadet Bone Spurs, or 147 million.

That seems... unnecessarily intense, man; take a deep breath?

I would also accept building bridges out of them, preferably by using them as makeshift rebar in the piers.

Not to mention the cognitive dissonance required to lament the lack of an Abrahamic heaven on earth, and in the same mouthful rail against policies the Christian savior would TOTALLY FUCKING ENDORSE because those would be taking several steps in that direction... like, WTF? Read your own damned holy book, chucklefuck!…

I just want Kristin to make me pregnant.

Hell, yeah, Formalism! AND the Intentional Fallacy!

Any dude who stands to pee at home (into the toilet, not, like, in the back yard) is clearly NOT the one cleaning the bathroom... or, if he is, does a shite, cursory job of it.

F*** a BB gun; hand that a****** a Desert Eagle.

Not sure the last time you babysat or paid a babysitter...

In order of preference:

Obviously, OBVIOUSLY, the MCU isn’t a chess allegory, and yes, of COURSE there are many more ways for an endgame in chess to play out — I meant to reference Immortal Game, not Immaculate, btw (Anderssen/Kieseritzky, June 21, 1851). Apologies, there.

Thank you for this.
