Probably, yeah, because as the casuals drop out, only hardcores will remain, and they are frankly willing / compelled to pay more. So they will.

The number 18 is not allowed up that cat’s asshole.

One way to fuck roads is to not fix them very much, so I guess we are on the right path?

This reminds me of that weird MAGA couple who stood in their driveway brandishing their guns as a protest went by. I know little about guns but someone pointed out that he was holding it in the wrong direction such that hot shells would be ejected directly into his chest if he were to fire. I guess in addition to other things, Seagal is guilty of that one here too since he’s holding the gun both ways.

When you’re a perfect match for the “mustachioed cop” look, no need to mask. He could be anyone.

I agree with this statement but looking back I have to admit that I’m not sure the chronics I knew were actually suffering the effects of their heavy weed use or if the heavy weed use was just comorbid with their other problems.

And like alcohol, people do respond to it differently. It’s not an amazing option for just anybody, even though it may be a wonder drug for some.

I keep wondering if “just weed and occasional hallucinogens” will actually be an available path for the next generation. I think it’s reasonable advice but I don’t know what’s out there and available to them. It seems like a broader spectrum of shit than ever and things get mixed together. Can you still just buy an 8th of weed in a sandwich bag anymore? Can you get a paper tab of acid without worrying what else is in it?

Yes alcohol, sugar and automobiles are the big killers that we seem to just accept in an “oh well” kind of way. We came a long way on smoking so I’m optimistic about alcohol. “Record lows” doesn’t impress me as a phrase because I know how high the historic highs actually were 🤣

There are three ways to finish faster:

1. start earlier
2. do less
3. get help

I know this seems obvious but I’ve had to go back to it a million times at work when some project is behind schedule. All options tend to boil down to one of these. Notice it doesn’t say “go faster” it says “finish faster.” Reducing the scope of what you’re trying to do will bring the finish line closer without accelerating you at all.

#1 is usually not an option but I keep it in the list to remind people how we got where we are. This is often needed to motivate them to accept #2 or #3. CEO wants it all and wants it faster? He shouldn’t have taken a month to make up his mind. Now he’s going to get less or spend more, period.

It’s very much present tense. Time to stop warning people and start arming them.

While they were grappling on the front lawn, Wolfe said he was able to wrap his leg around Jones’ leg, grabbed either end of the bat and pressed it against his neck, causing him to pass out.

While they were on the ground, Wolfe said Jones asked him if he could say something. He said Jones’ comments didn’t make a ton of sense, but he told Wolfe he was drunk and that he was looking for a certain address that Wolfe learned later was a business.

What in the fuck… what a bizarre ending to this melee. Glad the victim is in one piece.

never be rid of his evil

I’m sure feeling that right now, wishing I could unsee this face.

Yeah… I hate to say it but cyclists take to the sidewalks in my neighborhood even though we have bike lanes everywhere. Obviously they are trying to be safer from cars which I can’t fault them for, but they do become a danger to pedestrians. Basically pedestrians are in a lose lose situation. Unless we want to start counting the bugs they step on.

Fuckedtorio

This is the “just letting you know that someone is waiting” signal. I only do it when they’re taking fucking forever.

I have looked back on some really stupid thing I did and wondered why no one in my family called me out. Not that I blame them. It’s just weird to me that I smoked cigarettes all those years and they never gave me shit for it. My brother even gave me a fancy lighter for my birthday once. Again: not their fault I was an idiot but telling someone they are being a dolt can be an act of love.

You can only do so much while the pre-frontal cortex is still developing.

May I please begin by saying I LOVE MADONNA and respect the shit out of her. I’m glad she got what she wanted out of it all - but it really was always the music and dancing I was more interested in.

The provocative stuff was always trying a little bit hard, to my mind. Even this quote: I want to be provocative! I want to be political! Cringe.

The Sex coffee table book was a snooze for me. It had a number of staged tableaus that drew from S&M and other things that, at the time, were “edgy.” But they were hollow and fake. I did not in fact believe I was just looking at a photodocumentary of what she does with a strap-on come Friday night, and I didn’t see any thing that was new to me in there, let alone shocking or provocative.

So personal question but do you dream with images?
