Closest thing I can think of in my life was the Mexican chick downstairs bringing her cute young friend over one Saturday night. I was utterly hammered on vodka, so I was clueless until I looked over and saw Maria deep in her friend’s pussy. And away we go!
Been in all sorts of freaky sexual situations, but that one could have been filmed as a porno.
Epstein was allowed to kill himself. Someone whispered in his ear that he should do the right thing, hint, hint, or face monstrous consequences.
For symptoms:
Mom made me a shot of whiskey, honey and lemon juice as a child. (We did not drink in my household. Ever.) Works a charm.
My wife makes me hover over a steaming bowl of salt water, towel over head. Does seem to work well. Can’t hurt to expand your lungs with the heat and get some salt air in there, right? A trip to the beach, especially in the water, cures a great many ills.
The cure:
What breaks my fever is curling up in bed under a ton of blankets and knocking myself out. When I get to dreaming heavily I’ll wake up soaked in sweat. Not mildly moist, I mean to say soaking wet, really gross, have to get up and towel off. That’s how I know I’m on the other side and getting better.
So why didn’t Conservapedia take off? If it’s unbiased truth, no liberal agenda, it should have blown Wikipedia out of the water a decade ago. Funny that.
That site is bugfuck nuts, and not just because I disagree with most conservative positions. Bug. Fuck. Nuts.
I do not sense a wrongness in your post so I will not disappear you. :)
You got the original explanation, but grok was taken up by computer nerds way back in the day. It’s not merely understanding a thing, in the book or the slang. To grok means to completely wrap your head around the subject, not merely surface level understanding, really feel it down deep.
As to Musk’s obsession? He wants to be seen as the cool kid, the smart hacker, the guy who groks what’s really going on.
Honestly it’s a great name for a search engine or AI. And now he’s actively ruining it like everything else he touches.
BTW, Stranger in a Strange Land is an excellent book. I laugh when people call Heinlein a fascist for writing Starship Troopers. “So, how about that hippie book?” Heinlein’s books examine various government and economic systems, “What if it worked this way?”
Have you never voted before? That’s a perfectly typical form. Of course the candidates have no text description, there is nothing non-partisan one could put there. Of course the propositions have text descriptions, they always do.
Said much the same yesterday. The poster child for narcissistic personality disorder getting on his knees? LOL. No fucking way.
The harm in OP’s example is immediate.
Bad logic, yes, but it stands in this case because the harm is immediate, not in some future decade. Given such widespread use, headphones must be OK or doctors would have been sounding the alarm decades ago after seeing young people with blown out ears.
we willingly handed over the keys to the city
I’ve been screaming that the power and water and cost issues are failures of our local governments. No, it’s not capitalism, socialists can be bought and paid for as well. No, the feds need do nothing, city and state governments should handle their unique issues. Yes, we need to vote out or city and county councilmen who allow this horseshit.
OK, I could easily argue for the state taxing the snot out of these data centers. Seems a no-brainer.
One reason I like living around rednecks. After the last hurricane, which didn’t really touch our hood, dudes were patrolling the streets in pickups, hunting downed limbs.
There was a sandy patch on the way into our camp where cars would get stuck. One day I pulled up on 3 with 2 vehicles and a bunch of neighbors working on getting them out. Parked up the street and walked down, “OK. Who we getting out first?” I’ve been towed out myself on 4-5 occasions.
Coolest thing is that all those dirt roads are private. Somebody put their own money into upgrading and fixing the whole mess. There are at least 2 guys that cruise around on their little tractors and grade the streets now and again.
Thought on this before. I don’t think any of us could take the change without going insane and likely catatonic.
It’s not just about learning coordination all over again, getting used to new physical quirks. Different hormones, reflexes, nerve wiring, gut bacteria, senses, just too much to handle. Hell, I’d go into shock if your dropped me in my own body from 20-years back.
American here. Can’t even bring up end-of-life stuff with my Filipino wife as that’s “bad luck”. Knew another white guy my age talking about his divorce and 3 small children.
“Maybe you ought to get life insurance?”
“And leave that bitch anything?!”
“You can name your kids as the sole beneficiaries.”
“Fuck that bitch! The Lord will see me through this!”
Um.
People don’t want to talk about uncomfortable topics. We didn’t evolve to grow this old and know so much about our ancestors. My take anyway.
Much of what my anecdote was about, the veneer has slipped. And yes, much of it is legitimate. Much seemed to come from, “I’m not the racist my parents were!” But it was weird and borderline scary seeing that veneer peel off on that last trip.
Maybe racists keep in on the down low around me, but I live in the South and never hear anything racist. And as a middle-aged white guy, and somewhat of a redneck, I’d expect them to think I’m safe to rant to.
When I moved here 20-years ago, I experienced racism from black people like never before, weirded me out. Can’t remember that last time I felt that. We’ve all changed.
Counter anecdote though! Traveling Mississippi last year with my Filipino wife was distinctly uncomfortable for the first time. Can’t put my finger on it, can’t describe a single incident, but I felt we were shunned for the first time. Those people were formerly outgoing and hospitable. Not now.
Wife loves them as their her nation’s national flower. You suck the nectar out as well?
Aight! I want to heart from people thinking this is normal, or not, and if you can actually see pictures in your inner space. I feel a doctoral dissertation could be written here.
