>kafka
catch those Official's name tags? Anarchists, Education etc etc, such a trippy show.
>This is the only place I know where I can blow off steam
same here anon, miss the fam a lot this time of year, for some reason anon is fighting off some blues.
Three years ago SpouseAnon died a week or so before Christmas. There was nobody to tell, anon never "socialed" so courage was worked up and it was told here. It helped tremendously to tell muh frens. here.
Remembered the show but those details escaped muh young mind, it feels like the current reality in a lot of ways imo. Early Clockwork Orange feeling. It was unsettling then but more now that it makes more sense.
ty anon
5 years: MomAnon died
3 years: DadAnon and shortly thereafter SpouseAnon died literally outta nowhere, Superbowl travel cancelled, that was supposed to be a milestone anniversary.
so tracking that 5 years of excruciating, anon doesn't speak to but a couple of people IRL and not often. Anon is somewhat used to being alone, only kid and all that but this is a whole other level.
Thank God for frens here, lifesavers they are. This meme is so accurate it's scary.
Ignorance truly is bliss. Anon needs a solid concussion or twelve..
more weed
more speed (85-90)
blow some red lights (not really that)
jaywalk, might stick plugs in the parking meters and in generally live dangerous
and eat more ice cream
chek't
ty kind anon, appreciate you
>What happened in 1977 that allowed this?
77 was a weird year. Left out Starwars, that too.
>He had 6% of his lung capacity
I am so sorry for your loss anon, it's always rough but Christmas Eve, that's horrible. Anon's Dad had major diminished lung capacity too so go with the jet fuel induced "somementia" and the helplessness of family, the utter callousness of the health "professionals"
Dad had to go to Memory Care when MomAnon died, both were in home hospice and the hospitals- 4 days before DadAnon died I saw him for his birthday and the nurse's aid or whatever she was almost RAN him down a hallway to the visitor area, it was awful.
May they rest in peace anon, all suffering is done except that gaping hole they left behind.
That's terrible fren, so sorry for your too many losses.
I left out the dog. Poor old doggo didn't make it long after DadAnon, his doggo and it was great to have her after mine went to Doggo Heaven. Reclaiming the rainbow, it was already taken, for Doggos.
>also lost both my parents
dad in 2018
mom in 2022
I'm so sorry anon and sorry your about your sibling situation, anon has none so there was no issues there. It's so hard, it's not unexpected until it's real. Then it's a complete shock to the system. I have questions I'll never get answered, dumb little things, the family jokes, it's not a great change.
>saw the big picture in 2007 which is when frens started falling away
2009, anon was slow to accept the actual reality. And then anon learned so much more that further widened the gulf of anon-normie frens. There was a big get together for Christmas this year with work frens. Anon couldn't force self out the door, no desire to see any of them tbh.
Thank God for the work here, it helps more than expected, anon gets lost in digs that may/may not be relevent but ya never know. The volume of things unknown, what a crap education they pumped out…
DadAnon used to say "it beats the alternative"
so there's at least that.
Anon refuses to hurt or get sick. That could mean Doctor and anon is "oppositional" or so they said during the mask standoff of '20. Not sure anon is welcome back tbt. A hot jacuzzi tub is anon's medicine and it's good. Weed doens't hurt any…
Words were said. Mistakes were made..
That's rough, very hard. MomAnon was home until the final 2 days.
Hope your Dad is happy as possible considering and healthy for 2023. Be kind to yourself anon, stress is no good for you.
That was a tough year and one you'll always be glad you were there for them when they really needed you. Assuming your parents like mine would never ask for help, not that generation. They were 10' tall and bullet proof in my eyes. And their own.
>uKRAINE NAZIs, CIA Op CARTEL, renamed AERODYNAMIC
archived it: https://archive.ph/PyUsJ
“CIA operations with these Ukrainians began in 1948 under the cryptonym CARTEL, soon changed to AERODYNAMIC. … Lebed relocated to New York and acquired permanent resident status, then U.S. citizenship. It kept him safe from assassination, allowed him to speak to Ukrainian émigré groups, and permitted him to return to the United States after operational trips to Europe. Once in the United States, Lebed was the CIA’s chief contact for AERODYNAMIC. CIA handlers pointed to his ‘cunning character,’ his ‘relations with the Gestapo and … Gestapo training,’ [and] the fact that he was ‘a very ruthless operator.’”
The CIA wanted a NAZI so bad they pressured Immigration to not look at his history and didn't think the 1936 political assassination was a valid arguement, he dindu, he told them so, so good enough… CIA is TRASH.

Intelligence Organizations and War Crimes
American intelligence and counterintelligence organizations each had its own
raison d’être, its own institutional interests, and its own priorities. Unfortunately,
intelligence officials generally did not record their general policies and attitudes
toward war crimes and war criminals, so that we hunted for evidence in their
handling of individual cases. Despite variations, these specific cases do show
a pattern: the issue of capturing and punishing war criminals became less
important over time. During the last months of the war and shortly after it,
capturing enemies, collecting evidence about them, and punishing them
seemed quite consistent. Undoubtedly, the onset of the Cold War gave American
intelligence organizations new functions, new priorities, and new foes. Settling
scores with Germans or German collaborators seemed less pressing; in some
cases, it even appeared counterproductive.
In the months after the war in Europe ended Allied forces struggled to
comprehend the welter of Nazi organizations. Allied intelligence agencies initially
scrutinized their German intelligence counterparts for signs of participation
in underground organizations, resistance, or sabotage. Assessing threats to the
Allied occupation of Germany, they thought first of Nazi fanatics and German
intelligence officials. Nazi officials in the concentration camps had obviously
committed terrible crimes, but the evidence about the Gestapo was not as striking.
The Allies started by trying to find out who had been responsible for what.

The article is very good, lots of information about the crooks in Govt here and there. Sounds like there's going to be a big big Nazi parade tomorrow, birthday for Nazi day, Banderas. Freaking Dulles, that one needs dug up, beat the F up and buried again.
A personal favorite that one.
> I love my memories! Forgive and forget if they can.
We'll see was muh MomAnon's code for NO and don't ask again. Coulda pretended to spoil anon..
I got the photo albums out a couple or so days ago. Still can't open them but might real soon.
>“Words were said. Mistakes were made”
If anon had a nickle for every time… we'd have a lot of nickles fren..
>inappropriate sense of humor
Perfect! That's the best kind
>nightshift ER workers and paramedics.
Hope to never need that, glad there are people who like that work. Anon does poorly in a medical environment… genetic predispostion of medical cowardice..
That's so spot on and very mature. Anon took some time to get there, regrettably. Time is precious, more than I realized. Now it's just all those precious memories.
>Are they soft? My neck is a mess
There's a firm, it's WAY firm
the soft one is too squishy
The medium is just right.
>My final thought was, they did the best they could and I’m still alive. It was worth it.
I finally got there because it's true. They did the best they could. Coulda spared the rod a lil more but overall I lived to tell so couldn't have been that bad. I look back and realize I had a lot more freedom than I acted like I had. As long as anon was home for lunch it was all good. And in late afternoon be able to hear them yelling for anon to trot muh happy arse home..
AND NO! Do NOT help a builder by pretending to be a bricklayer.
Debil made me do it anons, it wasn't me… that mortar and bricks were just laying there..
That dude came back and he was FAST of foot…
Pope Benedict XVI dead at 95
Demember 31, 2022
Pope Benedict XVI, a fierce defender of church dogma who became the first pontiff in six centuries to abdicate the papacy, died Saturday morning. He was 95 years old.
“With sorrow I inform you that the Pope Emeritus, Benedict XVI, passed away today at 9:34 AM in the Mater Ecclesiae Monastery in the Vatican,” the Holy See Press Office announced.
His death came after Pope Francis asked his flock for “prayers” for his predecessor at the Vatican Wednesday.
“I want to ask you all for a special prayer for Pope Emeritus Benedict who sustains the Church in his silence. He is very sick,” Francis, 86 said during his weekly general audience.
“We ask the Lord to console and sustain him in this witness of love for the Church to the very end.”
The German-born spiritual leader — born Joseph Ratzinger on 16 April 1927 in Bavaria — succeeded the sainted Pope John Paul II in 2005.
Known for his staunchly conservative views and the nearly 25 years he spent as the powerful head of the Vatican’s doctrinal office, Benedict became the first German pope in 1,000 years — but only served for eight years before deciding to step down in 2013.
“I think that if he had been able to decide his own future, he would have been quite happy to spend his life as a college professor, teaching and writing books,” the New York Archbishop Timothy Cardinal Dolan told The Post in December 2018.
“But he was called to greater service… And he accepted all of this as one who follows not his own will, but God’s will.”
As a quiet, unassuming intellectual who mostly stayed out of the limelight, Benedict didn’t often comment on political issues, but will be remembered for his extensive writings and teachings about the love of God and the love of one’s neighbor.
Benedict produced more than 60 books between 1963, when he was a priest, and 2013, when he resigned.
However, his short tenure was marred by the clergy sex abuse crisis, which reached a peak in the public sphere during this time, and the “Vati-leaks” scandal.
Paolo Gabriele, Benedict’s butler, leaked secret documents to an Italian journalist in 2012 that revealed corruption and feuding within the Vatican.
The stolen documents uncovered power struggles inside the Vatican over its efforts to show greater financial transparency and comply with international norms to fight money laundering.
After Gabriele was arrested, he admitted that he’d given the papers to reporter Gianluigi Nuzzi because he believed the pope wasn’t being informed of the “evil and corruption” in the Vatican.
He insisted that he believed exposing it would get the church back on track.

Nah, my folks tossed all my stuff behind anon's back.. when distracted with other stuff.
The Pachinko machine tossing still grinds anon's gears. Anon got to be quite the Pachinko Machine technician..
Balls were dropped, never to be seen again..
And here comes the merch..
>My parents had 10 children, it was wild and crazy.
Sounds like a great family, wondeful DadAnon. Siblings… so jelly… anon had little interactions with kids and didn't have any. Fear.
Anon got to go to a pool once and a lake once. The pool: DadAnon lets me dunk under, anon was big mad.
"The lake": neighbor kid's 13th birthday on June 13th… first funeral anon ever went to. His poor Mom.
ParentsAnon bragged how they taught 30 people to water ski behind our boat and anon wouldn't go to the lake.
Anon thought about it again because of the Idaho thing, one of the girls last names was very similar to the lake, spelling off by 1 letter.
Sleep well anon, same time, same place
So much ebil in that place
Ten would take a tremendous amount of courage, your folks did a great job. The neighbors had 6 and stacked those kids in that crackerbox house like cordwood kek
They got free drive in movie tickets, the whole reel so anon DID get to go to the $1 a car load movies. Free and such..no dollar was spent.
>Frank Zappa
