I really miss our used book store. It was tiny but packed, and it had that smell.

Listen, Im over here wearing my floaties, watching sales people doing a triple gainer off the high-dive. I’m not trying to pretend to be especially good with the social skills. All I’m saying is water is wet. Some people have an affinity to those sorts of skills, some don’t. Some people work at it. Some can’t. Everyone has to at least bathe though. That’s a metaphor, but also not.

Why do you need to be forced by society to develop social skills?

Social skills is another way of saying the abilities required to function in a society. You might as well ask why do you need to learn to swim to get in the pool.

Why isn’t putting your best forward enough?

Often it is, but to stretch the metaphor used above, they are going to be stuck in the shallow end.

My dad was a Coastie. He signed up during the Vietnam war. He liked to say ‘we SAVE lives’.

Thank you for this.

hey! I resemble those remarks!

I think he actually believes this will move manufacturing to the US. He is a moron afterall.

Changing manufacturing sites requires a submission. You have to prove safety and efficacy.

Lay off a bunch of folks at the FDA, then announce tariffs? WTF? If you want pharma’s to onshore manufacturing, you need to provide them quicker review. So much stupidity.

Just in time for the child.labor.

The sun wasn’t alive in Sunshine. People just be crazy.

The World at the End of Time does have a plasma based intelligence though

Amazon Prime is the only one that’s been hard for me to kick…

Absolutely not, I’m a random speculating wildly over here. I thought that was the dude with the sunglasses with his back to the car. Rewatching he has different pants.

That group of guys walking away after the car pulls away were plain clothed officers. At least thats what it looks like to me.

The coopting of Norse culture is sad and fucked up, but I’d bet dollars to donuts home dude in the pagan hoodie is an all out white supremacist.

Hell yeah. I might have gone with Everglade but I’m just glad L7 is represented.

I was thinking rainbow face paint with interesting paterns

Masks work too though.

I am bleeding, making me the victor

It’s not likely they would. The US did some fucked up stuff, but (in this case) didn’t try to hide it…

What happened 10 years ago in the east? Was it Russia invading due to oil reserve discoveries?

I know Ukrainians. I know eastern Ukrainians who protested against Yanukovych and were shot at so he could keep his gold loves of bread. I also know Russian/Ukrainians whose families emigrated to Ukraine after the USSR ethnically cleansed Crimea of the Tartars. Ukraine is a place with a complex past and lots of internal issues. But those issues are INTERNAL. They should have the right to work them out themselves. Russia invaded for oil and natural gas resources, plus the black sea ports. The rest is propaganda.
