No “kinda” about it. Although it’s certainly odd coming from the person in question. Scary how uncritically right-wingers “think”.

This is precisely what has bothered me about america for as long as I can remember. It’s worse in some areas than others, but it’s generally pervasive. What drives me absolutely insane about arguing with right-wingers is that they take everything you say literally, and then pounce on it so as to have a “gotcha!”…

That actually sounds very similar to my experience, although mine was a bit more “violent” than a “click”. The only thing I can think of causing something like that in independent observers would be a powerful magnetic field - like maybe an EMP (except there’s no nuclear explosion to trigger it). There were no large…

The witches were just as confused as the rest of us.

It should only be on Barf Bag because some right-wing assholes are trying to claim the shooter is an antifascist, despite the fact that he’s a fucking Pinkerton. The shooting had nothing to do with (or “between”, as you say) “rival protesting groups”. It says so right in your fucking article, as confirmed by the…

AI learns, by definition. Now what it learns depends a great deal on the algorithms and the input data, which would be the creators and the users, respectfully.

The Aggrievement Industrial Complex is certainly one of the weirder aspects of fascism. Perpetual cries of victimhood from a minority holding fast to the reins of power by any means necessary, which includes grown men ranting like angry children that someone had the temerity to tell them they were bad for doing…

That’s brilliant.

That’s so weird. I was playing with this old Ouija board I found in the attic of this creepy old Victorian home that my white ethnic friend from a long line of sensitives lives in, as one does, and it spelled out “emerald marine chocolate mint tart”. Clearly, a dire warning.

I don’t know, I’m so disappointed in all the Ouija board references, Victorian homes, “sensitives” mentions, and touching dead relative stories that I’m afraid I’ll just get buried. I’ll leave a weird experience for you, though, right here:

I’ve noticed it as well, and it’s making me think better of posting anything, despite having some truly spooky shit happen in my childhood (and some other random inexplicable shit happening in my adult life).

Like I said, I’m right there with the sentiment, including disembowelment. It’s just not “seppuku”. 

I totally agree with your sentiment, but the pedantic part of me wants to point out that “seppuku” is a way to maintain honor, and those fucks have none.

Oh, I’m digging that 4th option...

I actually had to quit with weed because panic attacks were becoming a common thing with me.

I recommend mirtazapine (brand name Remeron). It’s the only thing that helps me sleep normally. Vivid but not fucked-up dreams. No hangover or side-effects.

When I was in grad school, there was a psychopharmacologist group that was doing studies on providing alternative reinforcement to addicts to keep them from using, and it was relatively successful. It’s hard to get people to accept that, though. “You want to pay addicts to stay off drugs? Fuck no!” They’d rather see…

A good reminder of how conservatives only hold onto power through cheating, bullying, bending and breaking rules or changing them to suit their needs, then breaking those rules when it suits them, in addition to a whole slew of unethical and often illegal actions. The shithead in the oval office basically admitted the…

Omigosh, that’s an adorable pic... *cute attack*

Greatest lie? I don’t know about you guys, but...
