Fox was at his best. It had all the great elements of both horror and comedy.

Maybe if they'd reported on the gross violations of monopoly laws when they started 40 years ago, we wouldn't have lost it.

It's small talk taken to an absurd level.
Lately, I've taken to using a combination of oversharing and hyperbole to stifle some of the questions.
With my chaotic home life with a bipolar alcoholic with CPTSD, a few anecdotes of my home life have stopped a few from asking.
Oddly, not all though.

Even being empathetic, I cannot fathom how there are so many damaged humans who crave havoc and chaos. Even in my own tiny life I have several people who cannot abide things going well.
It's near impossible to avoid interaction, moreso as life stability gets harder and harder to achieve for us all.

Never forget to factor in the greed and cruelty of the rich and powerful.
Right now, if a therapy or medicine is cheap and available widely - it doesn't work well.
Ozempic can remove major health issues, and is scarce and expensive as a preventative.
The better something works, the less access to us

I hate those kinds of questions.
I can either give the pat answers they expect, leading to me hating myself a little more each time,
or I can give a curt, or smarmy reply.
The winning move is to not be there when they finish asking.

They're all a bunch of liars. Facts only come into it when they match their bias.
It all came up to the surface when their plans mentioned how it's harder to strategize attacks on the left due to their sticking to facts with no anecdotes or lies that can be criticized.

A healthy lifestyle is a good idea.
Still, you could take B vitamins all day long, and in the end your genes or simple bad luck will trip you up.
Good genes make the biggest difference. Totally unfair, but nobody says life is fair.

That's in a large part due to creating a boundary beyond which no information is allowed
Some people have natural empathy,and those people either ditch the right or are suppressed into submission.
Learned empathy is stopped by preventing experiencing other viewpoints, making their own seem more real

Feelings over facts is their credo.
This is why we can never drive the truth into their worldview. We give them statistics and study results, reasonably stripped of anecdotes and personal feelings and biases. How can it be real if you don't feel it?!?
Frustrating.

When a system strives towards isolationism and feelings over facts - this happens.
They work hard on creating a bubble, where you support what's inside and fear the rest. No new information allowed as it bursts the bubble.

Canadian Thanksgiving weekend.
The only things I'm thankful for is that my wife hasn't ended up room temperature next to me overnight (yet), and trolls can't easily keep up attacks on here.
Amen and pass the fucking potatoes.

In any decent timeline, they'd all be low tier meth makers in a Florida swamp. That, or a nightmare in the Nevada desert.

4 presidents have won the prize. Diaper Don isn't fit to scrub the toilets for any of them.

We're on Earth X somehow now.
Anything terrible is now very possible.

This is why we need to pay teachers better, increase funding across the scholastic world K-12, and set up a curriculum throughout that encourages curiosity, questioning and fundamentals of logic and reasoning. More that and less memorization and learning by rote.

Once you get fat, comfortable and complacent, a lot of the human instincts for survival vanish.
I think it's a combination of things like no instinct, a belief they'll survive and become wealthier and more powerful, and some have become tangled in the crimes so they can't turn on him now.

The only reason he hasn't croaked is they've got actual doctors who know stuff.
Walter Reed is world class. Unfortunately.

That's what separates the right from the left.
The left does things not because of Jesus brownie points or other self interest.
We do things because they are good and right. We do things regardless of profit or loss.

Someone was saying they're monitoring his dementia.
They wouldn't feel the need to mention that.
Maybe he needs another stint in his clogged arteries?
They're announcing he is going to the hospital just in case he ends up having to stay due to a complication.

I think mostly, but there are several reasons they won't open.
Their boss sees this as an opportunity to grow the fascism.

Just make sure they're all gone. Really gone. Follow that rule to survive.
