I'd totally watch Iranian Space Aliens invade New Jersey, the movie.

Even my super chud 6th grade English teacher was always mentioning that 'Shakesphere used they with singular antecedents' and he was apparently the father of modern English in her eyes, so the conversation ended, there was no debate.

100% this, my depression has always been at its nadir in summer, the cold and dark of winter? Paradise, especially since I get migraines triggered by light. However, when the sun reflects off snow just right or someone burns a Christmas cookie candle I'm hosed.

May a million upon the healthcare industry.

The silly class traitor boomboom called 911 instead of crimestoppers, so their 30 pieces of silver were forfeit from the start.

Aliexpress, like getting pet toys or other products at Dollar Tree/Walmart/Amazon need to consider what if this falls apart etc. I live rural, so we're limited on shops and what's there I can't exactly afford. Bought that fish kick toy at Dollar tree, its going on year 3.

Tbf he does look like a rat, or the cover of Ratm's Evil Empire

I usually fake laugh, sound totally masc, good enough for 99.99% of social interactions, so I figured nbd, natural laugh hits suddenly...Well shit, work to be done.

Going to find these cute little language bugs for a while yet

I didn't really realize the importance of practicing non-verbal vocalizations until lunch the other day at work I was looking at AE cat toys inspired by seeing some flopping fish that was swat activated and I saw a stoned cartoon penguin looking toy making goofy sounds getting batted around by a cat (at first hesitantly then with enjoyment) on an ad and I just lost it. Everyone stared at me weird, hard to say if its because I'm serious and rarely laugh, or because I knew that laugh was more of a giggle. I did find a fish that looked decent and did get some sort of birb, not the stoned penguin, I wouldn't have survived that, and it was a bit out of budget. I'm not sure if my cats will go for it, but they do love their fish kick-toy.

I was also so hosed and tired at work I unthinkingly ran an agripop line on an old customer who tells stories of being a fed. Oops. Should have seen his face. I'd ask what's wrong with me, but that's what happens when you're so deep-fried from heavy workweeks on shit wages all you need is salt and dipping sauce, filter is long gone.

You can take a man out of the Ivy League but you can't take the Ivy League out of the man.

Way things are going its absolutely understandable to go full but always remember libs and outright fasc don't really understand the full weight of the conditions they manufacture out of greed and hate. Trying to fight material conditions with idealism (magical thinking) is why they revert to theft and genocide, they can't dare fight the might of people with playing dirty any other way.

US is basically Rome 2.0, like Rome it will fall and is in its drawn out terminal decline, it may not seem like it right now as it did then. While ideologically quite confused that folk hero has the spirit, and is quite representative of the majority of people, the US' lumpen awakening from their slumber will be a slow and bloody go but is guaranteed with the game neolibs play and the conditions of this here earth.

The biggest key is to survive best we can and tell people there is another way than the barbarity of capital, doomerism or cosplaying as peasant-cavemen. We need to be there to capture imagination and guide as able. Even the bourgeoisie didn't win their revo from nobility overnight, it took centuries of a game of tug of war between monarchs vs merchants, banking, and general spurned landed aristocracy.

Probably figure its a hostile multi-eyed predator or at least something itching for a fight that always sees them. Birds, cats and most primates hate prolonged direct eye contact.

The ideal is for children to surpass their parents as much as possible, all the groveling and thoughtless zealot-sycophants when they frame their religion of choice as a divine family weirds me out.

Scolipede, as a child I loved ninetales.

My family was pretty good this year, generally if there's some shit going down its gossip/smacktalk about other family members (ex so and so is ungrateful and making the wrong economic choices) that leads to an argument. There was gossip, but it never made that bad turn.

Both, also repair/tradesperson.

I ran out of eyes for the tree since the wheels took most of them, at least its a lot of weeks until Xmas.

That sounds like it might be a fun playthrough

Sometimes you can catch these on a proper radio setup, if that's of interest to anyone.
