Well naturally. That is the whole point. Conservatives don’t want to help people, they want them dead as cheaply and expeditiously as possible. Opioids are the perfect tool. It makes our underclasses a self-solving problem.

What agreement? Trump breaks every deal, repeatedly.

I did a support call in the 90’s where “clicking the left mouse button” was stumping her. After trying a few variations of instructions, I decided to take a step back and better assess the situation.

Me - Ma’am, are you left or right handed?

Her: right

Me: Lift your right hand, and look at the mouse. It should be a palm sized white plastic device with two buttons, one on the left and one on the right where your fingers rest. There should also be a small cable that extends from the far side and plugs into your computer. The underside of it has a little grey ball in the middle. Do you see it?

Her: You mean the doohickey on the floor?

Me: Pardon me?!? Well, it should be on your desk, not the floor. Why would it be down there?

Her: You mean the foot pedal?

Me: *light bulb clicks on. Are you really familiar with sewing machines?

Her: yes, but this doesn’t work anything like that.

Me: ok. We have found the problem! This is great. First step is to take the foot pedal off the floor and place it on the desk, under your right hand when you are sitting comfortably.

From there everything went smooth as silk.

I’ll just leave this here.

Was joke.

Do kids not talk to each other anymore? If true, I have a working theory why birthrates are dropping precipitously.

I had a friend of a friend who is a bona fide Dom. She was particularly wealthy considering the reputation of the sex trade. Her practice catered to Financial District and C-Suite types who could afford her services. She told me these powerful people invariably develop a kink where they want to be dominated and humiliated as a “grass is always greener on the other side” reaction to their usual position of power and dominance. What blew my mind is that she said sexual release during sessions was a minority. Most got that at home from trophy spouses. They craved the psychology of bondage, domination and humiliation. Clientele included women too.

Humans are weird and wonderful.

The Satanic Panic never went away. I still deal with it on occasion.

That’s incredible! I have the same code on my luggage.

Solar Flares - big tongues of radiation licking our planetary ball.

Solar Flairs: Looking fabulous and sparkly while the above happens to club music you can sing and dance to.

I like your version better.

Anyone old enough to remember driving down a highway and every stop for gas included a 5 minute intensive windshield wash scrubbing to get all the bugs off? Sometimes you used to have to clean your grill and radiator. I remember.

I just came back from a friends cottage and we had exactly one bug on the windshield. Otherwise the car was clean.

Friends, we are going to have a very rough time. We fucked up bad.
