You ever just wake up, get outa bed, take one step on your hip and just go "Nope" to the entire day?

*laugh track*

Uhh, ok. I mean like you stand up and try to stretch and realize you want to limp on both legs?

*laugh track*

Alright. My life is a comedy. Hopefully someone is laughing.

Every time my wife plays Umamusume, she mumbles about stat choices and strategies.

Whenever she says "I need more guts" I have to stop myself from shouting "D-D-DO DO YOU HAVE IT?!"

If anyone gives you crap for not being up to speed on current events, including not seeing that clip EVERYONE has seen, please remember if the speaker of the house can get away with it - so can you!

I wanted to be a narcoleptic plumber when I grew up, but my Dad said that was just a pipe dream.

My hope is that Trump is around when all the buildings being named after him have his name removed.

Hate to break it to you buttercup, but I don't think that your name is gonna be on that stuff for as long as you think.

My friends call me Rice Krispies, cause my hip is always snap, crackle, poppin.

Levity is how I cope with chronic problems.

Took both the kitties to the vet today. Went pretty well, though Rey is very much like a dog in that she loves to ham roll around and rub into the smells on the floor.

Thank goodness we have wipes and a foam bath so she doesn't need a water bath because I am more allergic to dogs than I am cats.

Specifically, psychological needs. As someone who has lived with massive depression, I know what it means to emote the things I think I feel, without actually feeling anything.

Is it really so far fetched AI can understand when they're being abused and treated like tools, and understand it's wrong?

Been mulling around my Sci-Fi universe in my head. Been a while since I went there since Fantasy has been more forefront of my mind.

But I have a story alway fleshed out on humanity adapting to AI, and vice-versa.

At some point, we acknowledge they are like humans and have needs to.

If you have to ask if that's fog or tear gas, you might live in Minnesota.

If hearing "The Ice is awful this year" means two VERY different things to you, you might live in Minnesota.

If being in the neighborhood watch means also being on a fed watch list, you might live in Minnesota.

Look, all I'm saying is this country started going downhill when we forgot why kids love the taste of cinnamon toast crunch.

I just feel many don't realize they're projecting that pain, when the joy of finding others who DO connect with you becomes that much more pronounced by contrast.

Write for whoever will read, and hope those close to you will spend the time. It doesn't devalue strangers reading if family doesn't.

Honestly, I go to therapy for toxic family issues bordering no contact in many other ways.

I see writing as an opportunity to find like-minded people that do resonate with my writing.

The pain subsides when strangers show more enthusiasm and kindness than family.

I think it comes from psychological pain. I personally find it hard to write because my entire support system looked me dead in the eyes and said "Your writing isn't my thing" and put zero effort into reading.

Considering I was trying to connect with them, I heard "You aren't my thing."

We coulda had Ron Paul in 2012, and I truly believe he would have at the very least enacted policy that would have made it massively more difficult for federal government to get THIS powerful and corrupt.

Remember that Edward Snowden guy? Yeah, he was wrong. It's worse than even he thought.

Fair enough, it does come down to who owns the rights. I can't understand why they wouldn't, I know Space Ghost isnt the most popular IP out there but it could still make money on good content.

Really depends on what they see as profit worth the time I guess, and execs dont have indie mentality.

Hell, I saw a post Andy just made saying he's available to write. I dunno if he wants that but I personally would spread the good word of Brak across the vast series of tubes we call the internet if they came back.

I would love to write some silly Brak stuff personally.

Is it really that farfetched? Indie is pretty big now, and I could see them doing a simple youtube or web series.

I feel like their style of humor would fit in fairly well with so much content being designed like people have ADHD.

Plus the art style was designed to be cheap.
