  • Maybe talk to them about how the PDA keeps reminding you of how you found out about the whole thing and ask them to dial it back.

    As distanced as you might feel from them right now, that’s still your friend and your sister, assuming they aren’t awful people they’re probably only doing it because they’re in the honeymoon phase and being reminded that not everyone’s comfortable with public intimacy will put just the right amount of ice water over their heads and snap them out of the love goggles.

    Probably also talk to your friend about how you feel like he’s never around to see you anymore. Again, love goggles, this kid is probably neglecting a lot of other relationships and needs a wake-up call on that, do not start a fight about it though, be calm and explanatory and express concern for him getting lost in the sauce.

    Lastly, adopt a policy of knocking on doors before entering even if they aren’t locked. It is gonna save your life in college.






  • Yeah but the polls didn’t significantly falter, they’re still statistically tied with only a margin of error shift since the debate.

    This isn’t an organic moment of partisan reconsideration. It’s being pushed by the same folks who were already loudly and obnoxiously telling us about how they don’t like Joe and threatening to vote protest or skip voting because, shock of shocks, nobody primaried the sitting president and risk sowing division right before an election where the other candidate is Hitler’s inbred pet mango.


  • Horse Race reporting, it’s literally all the mainstream has to say people are concerned about because his performance actually holds up when you check the stats.

    But if you dare say that people are literally being manipulated into thinking he’s worse than he is you’re “not understanding the median voter’s struggles”

    We need to force the sale of news corporations to the journalists so this profit maxxing bothsidesifying shit can go the way of the dodo.

    I mean I want to name my first son Abe, but that’s because it was my grandfather’s americanized name (Ibrahim)

    I think some geriatric sounding names are still respectable sounding enough to stand as good names for kids today. Dot and Conny I think would be good ones for girls and those are nicknames for Dorothy and Constance.




  • So funny thing, apparently this here is actually a very small part of horse unit work, and the reason cities might still have a horse patrol is because they’re convenient to send out on heavy bar nights.

    Why?

    Because the drunks are all overgrown toddlers and drop the belligerent act because “shhhhhh don’t spook the horsey!!!”

    That being said the vid of the one loser in London basically getting corralled like a misbehaving calf by a single patrol lady is still pretty damn funny.
