That call is so deranged just on its face - why call someone you think is an “operative”, at a paper you don’t like, just to sound crazy and hang up? Darrell must have been on the tail end of a bender and feeling the squeeze. The way some of them have been lashing out (dear god Roger Stone on twitter) they must know…

Occam’s Razor suggests Marla can’t be all that great of a person either. Even if she was young, dumb (seems like a given) and swept away by some rich guy at first, he was married with three kids, and is blatantly and obviously not a nice person - but she chose to try to hitch up to him anyways. Out of all the rich…

That’s good advice, especially if you’re inexperienced with hallucinogens. But sometimes I’ve dosed already in a pretty depressed state, and it really helped me gain perspective and rise out of it to see beauty in the world. Conversely, when I’ve felt happy and carefree, sometimes tripping reminds me of everything…

But in the coming American Taliban, we can wear whatever colors we want! As long as we uphold modesty of dress, and keep our magic underwear on at all times, chastity belts secured tight. Even- or especially! -when bathing alone.

Eh, I’m not claiming it was correct information (I was 12 and not really checking) just that it was the standard info we were fed. This was in the ‘90s, and I remember seeing all standardly dressed tourists there as well. Perhaps the requirement to cover limbs for St Peters got muddled quite a bit too, since everyone…

Given that their costumes alone are humorous enough for one lifetime. (And yes, I know that’s what you meant, just felt a perverse desire to spell out the funny for those uninformed).

Well, it’s probably obvious which side of the virgin/whore dichotomy I come down on... I visited the Vatican when I was 12, and had been warned in advance of the dress code - women’s heads covered, dark colors, high necks, only long skirts (although they had allowed women to wear pants recently!). I wore a head scarf…

Aw, isn’t it so funny that we feel bad for not treating our stuffed animals well enough! I still have my favorite teddy that I got as a toddler 30 years ago, and still feel like apologizing to her if she gets squished up somewhere or something.

I love this thread too. Never had dolls or anything, but loved all my stuffie buddies.

Nice awareness of life stages! Mentorbearship.

A worthy goal - Godspeed! And may I stop digging myself deeper in this hole of bad visuals!

Ha! Agreed, even as a vegetarian of 20 years (although I’d sub in a Hitachi, powerful enough to arouse even Mother Pence). Wishing you a much more enjoyable weekend, whether it be human or electronically-powered ;)

I’d rather fuck an actual cow.  

Ha! Goddamn you for that mental image. Limp beef tongue protruding above an enormous quivering orange gut, taking a few slobbering licks before declaring that you just had the best orgasm of your life, he’s always been an exceptional lover, everyone says so. And that’s the best possible scenario.

Ugh, I know. That was yesterday, and I was really hoping there’d be more indictments/warrants/raids coming today (there were rumors!)

I think he’ll go down eventually, but may well drag all of us under with him. Once he’s accomplished all the sabotage his puppet-masters can hope to squeeze from the foolish tool, he’ll be cut loose so they can take the reigns and institutionalize plutocratic kakistocracy (on the bright side - I did learn a new word…

Yea, interesting times, if nothing else, to see how the puzzle comes together. I have zero faith that any justice will be served- especially by this Congress that would sooner drown our principles in their own sewage than admit any mistakes or deviate from orthodoxy and partisan allegiance. Even in the best case…

Cheers to unhealthy coping mechanisms! I’m actually looking forward to indulging in some LSD, minus the handgun, for a more immersive escape.

Oh my god, I caught that earlier. How can anyone even keep a straight face hearing that?

Going to try not to be completely preoccupied checking news alerts all day tmw, but it sure seems like some of its coming to a head, and big moves are usually made on fridays - especially after a week like this! Claude Taylor reported that E. Virginia has been ramping up a “judicial armada” to serve warrants tmw, and…
