Oh my gawd, I have been waiting for a challenge like this all of (the last 4 minutes of) my LIFE!!!!
TODAY I LEARN HOW TO MEME!!!
Where does one go to learn this sort of thing, btw?
You are correct. NOT necessarily because Russia isn't problematic, though.
What could he have said that would have eliminated any doubt that GHWB is in that casket?
Of course, I'm open to the idea that he died sooner than was announced - yes. You can keep a body on ice for a very long time and save it for when you might really need it. Because maybe you KNOW you're going to need it. That makes sense to me.
The idea that GHWB is in GITMO or something, however, doesn't strike me as terribly realistic. He was so. Very. Old. And not a "spry" old, out taking walks and hanging out with his book club and shit.
He was decrepit.
I really can't get down with the pre-determinism stuff.
It truly does negate free will and thus the most amazing gift God gave us.
Russia's just mad because their oil exports are about to be nuked. (No pun intended.)
You, Sir, should get a job in public relations office of the White House. That way you'll be able do something with your very good ideas re: messaging. :)
Aw fuck. That almost sounds like I'd have to be accountable for my decisions and the outcomes!
Not fair.
(kidding. I believe accountability is awesome sometimes and not awesome other times. Better than being a puppet.)
So, that's the thing about giving and sharing a gift, isn't it? Ideally, it's not because the recipient deserves it or the giver believes themselves to be superior or whatever by giving (or withholding) the gift. It's because of something else that I can't think of the word for at the moment.
Anyway, that's what makes gifts (both receiving and giving) a somewhat awful experience. So much deserving or not deserving based on rules that aren't very clear. So many strings keeping ego tethered in place.
And for my next act, I will present a 12 part treatise on why Christmas is awful.
Jesus loves you. It shows.
Oops - I guess my breakthroughs were wrong. And they've seemed so beneficial…
Rub the peanut butter on the feltcher and call
your homotus a cabbage.
Did I do this right? Doesn't feel right…
You know what would be helpful re: the Great Awakening?
Not being a crybaby. It's okay to have feelings, Anon. It's fucking ridiculous to ask an unknown to hold you to some imaginary teat and suckle you until you feel better and all of your problems have been taken care of for you.
That's the complete opposite of a warrior mindset.
