She had two mini strokes a couple months ago. She recovered to previous state. I'd say no. She's paralyzed on one side and in a nursing home. Insurance stopped paying a long time ago. Putting a lot of stress on my stepdad. He's a great guy but me and my brother were discussing our fear he won't be able to take it

I love you Lil

I can lurk. I'm usually depressed

You're fine, bud

For the record I lost most of my followers for saying he should be thrown in a volcano. Third strike after saying I'd rather kill myself than have sex with Ted Cruz and something else equally dumb

This was around the time he said comedy is back on twitter

I'm almost always on my phone in global. So that may explain why I'm glib a lot. I've left some pretty long comments from this thing so I feel that's not worth nothing

Sounds bad

I don't know if I understand your idea. But I think it's fine here. Especially compared to other websites.

I did dip for a while but that was a me problem.

I was thinking about online interactions and I think they're by nature just prone to unique problems

I was also thinking about how for most of history thoughtful interaction was limited to media that took hours-years. The debate me bros like Ben Shapiro think debate is the finest form of logic when it's just an argument. Philosophers would spend years writing long reactions to some argument they disagreed with that they read years after it was written after taking years to write. I don't have an example but you probably catch my drift. And science? Woo buddy

I'm not sure my roommate isn't watching a lot of racist YouTube so that's fun

Just wanted to bitch briefly. There's like no reason for anyone to care so keeping it short

One time I wrote an essay about how much I like Bruce Springsteen. It's basically a disease

Some dude was on NPR yesterday talking about how the expiration of the $600 supplement was forcing people to dip into savings. He made one mention of the lack of savings among Americans. Just like what the fuck are you doing dude? Are you doing damage control for Congress? People are going into debt and will be getting evicted and straight up just being unable to make ends meet and the reality of this situation isn't the narrative you want to tell?

I’m like 20 minutes south of Paulding. I stopped using Facebook in like May in part because of the laissez faire attitude among various idiots I was in rehab with like the one kid from the article. Like half my immediate family lives in the other county that's been in the news, the one that had 200+ faculty test positive and is the largest school system in the state. I'm not even surprised or angry anymore cause this shit is so predictable

I've been in pretty bad shape since May or earlier. Definitely earlier but I was kinda okay for a couple weeks or so. Doing a little better in the past couple weeks in a few ways but not overall

Personal problems aside, my youngest brother is a violent schizophrenic. Not always but sometimes. Because my dad's his custodian and treats him like shit. My brother spent like two months in the hospital after hitting my Dad and his girlfriend and when he got out tried to find a residential facility for him but none of them would take Medicaid so he found some Jamaican lady who'd do it for the price of his disability check I guess. And she kicked him out twice

My other brother set up a gofundme for $30,000 which is also depressing because that crazy large figure is less than 2 years of care

lil sorry for not replying to the dm

I don't give a single fuck if he turns our apartment into an interstate hub for the production and marketing of crystal meth as long as he's mostly silent about it. I can't even trust him to do that

It's hard to explain to people who don't spend 10 hours a day on Twitter what this type of story does to people who don't understand computers. I'm not doubting the story but I've seen people who host podcasts have very persistent trolls accusing them of being bots. And entire trending topics be dismissed as bot manipulation because they started getting popular during business hours in Moscow. Because Putin can't comprehend night shift posting logistics I guess

Ultimately what I'm suggesting is a basic competency and critical thinking test before you can use the internet

The most important news source in the country publishing nitpicky bullshit about a bombshell story and ghost stories really puts into perspective why the country's leader is a functional illiterate who's taking an immunosupressant during a viral pandemic

I think there are multiple explanations for why this isn't getting attention but I'm not real happy about any of them. Running from the police after committing a crime doesn't create a sympathetic story for the whites, many of which think that's a capital offense

Hell, some dude who cosplays as a journalist was on twitter smearing Ahmoud Arbery for some old minor crimes and not calmly discussing the situation with the two guys who were following around for no reason

I've read Them. Him and his producer yelling at each other shouldnt be as funny as it is when you can't hear it. Have you heard this?

I think I broke a rib a few weeks ago being a drunk stumblefuck. It still hurts and I'm pretty tired of it

I prefer Nihilist Arby's

He's so fucking ignorant. Jesus Christ

It's got an aluminum unibody

The OK boomer meme is disrespectful. To the people who were saying 40-50 years ago that everything is fucked and also the cultural artifacts they created expressing that

The number of screaming children I can hear on my porch seems to have gone up exponentially. I can't tell if it's because I'm home all the time now or if it's new. Regardless, this isn't the greatest place and I feel sorry for the people who don't have school as a form of daycare. This doesn't excuse abuse I might be hearing but as a single childless guy I can't imagine the stress that having like a day to deal with suddenly not having your kids in school must cause.

I don't know. He seems deeply weird. If you have an hour or two to waste I recommend these:

I don't think either of them like Cats. I was infotained. Apparently TS Eliot was a fascist and Webber sold Cats based on an late era disco song that I can't remember the name of

Linoleum. This is my second print. My first was a portrait. The portrait is probably more impressive just because people like to look at people's faces.

I still really have no idea what I'm doing. I watched some printmaking YouTube. I probably bought a brayer that's too big. My work surface isn't stable or probably flat enough. A bunch of the portrait copies have spots where linoleum got stuck to the brayer and left marks. I might have ruined my brayer's surface with that mistake.

Certain people appreciate hand made art FOR the imperfections though. I think that border looks like shit but it should show it's not mass produced, Hobby Lobby kitsch

I think it's relaxing to carve the print but I'm not sure it's for everyone. I only poked myself once with one of the tools and I'm fairly adept with a knife. Like, if you just went in blindly digging at the print surface you could really gouge yourself with a not all that sharp tool. Real bad time there

I guess I have to comment to bump this
