@SarahIsAwsm This whole discussion is apples to elephants retarded, but special mention to: you being unclear on the difference between days and months.
Bravo. Sometimes dumb takes effort, and you really leaned into it.
@TheDemocrats The Republicans are incompetent, but the Democrats are intellectually, spiritually, and morally bankrupt.
So yes, I will consistently vote for dipshites who disappoint before I vote for your group of cretins. Try offering a real vision. I'll reassess then.
@4thOfJuly365 I don't care what someone's sexuality is as long as it involves consenting adult humans. For the love of God, I don't want to know about it, not even a little.
@RaltsAuthor I think the water concerns about AI are vastly overinflated. Which is not saying there's no impact, just identifying that overstating the case is actually counter productive.
I bet the UN's solution will be more money for socialism. Because, of course it will be.
When my friend Bob hung himself, I was gutted. Gutted and deep in grief and feeling guilty that somehow I didn't see it coming. Almost a decade later and I still tear up a little thinking about it. That's powerful grief. Life changing.
Talking through the feeling with a very patient friend helped. One that *listened* well.
The thing that helped the most: time. Time dulled it, and knowing that time dulled it has helped. But like glass on a beach, it starts sharp and dangerous, wears down and softens with time, never quite goes away but becomes less dangerous.
In time, you get to remembering the good parts more than the bad end.
I've known Jake for more than 40 years. We've drifted apart, as happens, and at this point agree on little politically. But none of that matters: he's a good man with a good family who has always given more than he's taken.
Jake is facing ALS, and needs help. I know my reach is small, but if you read this and feel compelled to help or QT, it'd be a kindness.
God bless.
