No lie, as a kid that notion was one of the things that made me question the catholicism being forced down my throat. “What, my cats won’t be in heaven with me? This is some bullshit!”

It’s about him, so of course he is.

Oh, this is totally about Warren making billionaires cry. Somebody is trying to muck things up enough that she loses some support (unlikely to succeed, but the richies are desperate).

The median is not a good measure of central tendency in this case. The mean is more meaningful, but the mode(s) would be more representative, imho.

Getting booed at UFC was even more surprising to me.

Wait, seriously? Goddamn that’s fucking pathetic.

Man... what I wouldn’t pay to see a Balrog storm through the current white house right now.

Bingo. 

Having been intimately involved with a narcissist, I think there’s an argument to be made about their humanity, for sure. Like psychopaths/sociopaths, they where a mask that hides their true nature, and that nature is quite inhuman by most people’s standards.

lol, I occasionally have dreams where I’m in a fight, and my body doesn’t completely shut down my muscles when I sleep (sleep disorder), so I’ve actually woken myself up punching or kicking the wall.

SAME. Lately I’ve been thinking I could easily live in the middle of nowhere and never see another human in person and be perfectly happy, as long as I had internet and a cat. I get easily drained by other people, and that characteristic is one of the things that draws the emotional/psychic vampires to a person. I’m…

I’m gonna listen to some Wirch House now.

“Effectuate” annoys me because “effect” is not only a shorter word, it’s also semantically correct.

Not sure. I just remember the ones he somehow got from some Hungarian school, where his teachers think it was bullshit because he was an idiot.
