Man, I can only imagine how some floppy drives were defiled back in the day.

(Just trying to help here, buddy. And I have a serious gambling problem, so grain of salt and all)

1. In fact, you’d be a fool not to go.

Just drove past a big rig on the freeway, with the driver completely engrossed in his texting. Not sure if those babies have self-driving tech (which is, of course, foolproof) but pretty sure smart phones will be the death of us all.

You’re a professor of medicine at UCSF, so I’m going to defer to your opinion, but my brother definitely had an IV there in the later stages of chemotherapy. And as I recall, that was because all the better spots had been repeatedly tapped and were thus unavailable, couldn’t that be true of Trump?

Is it stupidity or is it having the worst calibrated “read the room” thermometer in human history? Or both?

I remember when I was over there, Netanyahu slipped & fell during a naval photo op & had to be caught by a sailor. Super embarrassing, caught in great photos which ran on the front page of every newspaper in the country: except Israel Hayom. Anyway here's the photo!

Every time I reach a point where I’d like to give her a bit of credit, she pulls some shit like this. I guess the tell should have been staying with the guy who put his campaign on hold so he could proudly preside over the execution of a developmentally disabled man. These fucking people, man.

I tell you how to vote but you don’t care
I say “tell me my polls” but you don’t dare
I say Portland is a hell you cannot bear
And they say “it’s bad to sleep in your damn chair,” but I don’t care

I’ve got my feet on the ground
And I just went to sleep on screen

Also, why would I want a nursing assistant by my side? Am I in constant need of medical care in this hypothetical scenario? Am I supposed to be so excited to have an actual girl talking to me that I ignore that she’s only talking to me to figure out the dose I need administered?

But they never say “so good”? Are you supposed to have mentally answered “so good” and then mentally replaced the S in your hypothetical mental answered with an N?

I’m not saying this isn’t the solution. I’m just saying it is giving me a migraine thinking about it.

I took a second Adderall just to try and process this and it’s powerless.

Roth, I am just so impressed you’re able to write about this without yeeting your laptop into a volcano. Just thinking about it infuriates me so much I can’t event finish this sen

Umm, did he just inadvertently admit to issuing illegal orders?

Thanks to everyone who replied. It’s funny, I always feel awkward about posting personal stuff on social media (in part because, on that other site, you’d immediately get gang-tackled by trolls) but the sense of community and friendship here is real and means a lot to me. You all mean a lot to me. ❤️

It is. They gave it to me at Thanksgiving and I wasn’t expecting it and completely broke down.

I am so sorry, I can’t even imagine the pain of losing your son. Sending you a big virtual hug.

So true. Thanks for sharing. It’s somehow comforting to know there’s nothing weird about the way I’m experiencing it.
