Posts I've Made

  1. In Topic: Purge of Ashes BACK FROM THE ASHES

    Today, 11:16 AM

    I remember reading the long journey back under the sergeant and thinking that there was promise in this - then the book left.

    Life always finds its way and I'm glad you prioritized your children, while never giving up hope. Congrats on the next steps being so close!

  2. In Topic: Soccer/Football/Futbol/Whatever in general

    Because this works cup is a farce and the way the US has treated the fans, teams and officials is disgusting. I'm ignoring the whole thing if I can.

    This is pretty much where I landed. I had to work a World Cup watch party (not the games) as per my boss's orders and spent the games out of the stadium so that I wouldn't be watching.

    It's kind of painful for me to know that something that I've loved, even as it always was kinda corrupt, has turned into the Qatar event and this. People are dying and being repressed.

    Good luck to those who do watch and enjoy. I'll catch you on the other side.

    the problem i see in your theory is that more or less the same assholes, different flavour, will be elected in 8 years.

    The national candidates on the Democratic side are shaping up to be drastically different from the current administration. I'm unsure at this moment which approach will be taken by the eventual nominee - one closer to Biden's Justice Department under Garland (trying to move on and not spend a lot of time relitigating) or what AOC and Van Hollen etc have been saying (to crush this corrupt set).

    There's a struggle to win certain Senate, House, Governor, state Senate, judgeships etc that is on going and does not necessarily lead to "same people get elected". Trump v1 lost the popular vote. Trump v2 barely squeaked it out. This isn't a dominant party and his endorsement has not been a great indicator of political success - especially as he goes against incumbents who vocally support him (Cornyn/Paxton being the most recent high profile one).

    This is said in an attempt to level set, not to be gloomy:

    The end of the Trump administration will be celebrated, but the work to repair things like the Congressional power of the budget, the Supreme Court, grant funding, education, rooting out bigots in power, restoring LGBTQIA+ rights, getting out of wars, voting, the government workforce itself etc will take a full generation (25 years).

    That work will happen and there's people organizing on the community levels, county levels, and somewhat on the state and national levels.

    That work does require celebration and to be occasionally fun.

    What a beautiful girl. I'm sorry to read that Tsundoku, it's never easy. The kindest thing for them is inevitably the hardest for us.


    Thanks, you are 100% correct. I nearly broke, definitely had apple-sized lumps in the throat and stumbled over my words a few times.

    The mobile vet was amazing though, would recommend her to anyone.

    It's a wonderful way to ease the passing. To the very end, you all took care of her and gave her the best life. That's love and I'm sorry for the loss you're feeling.

    I love how well you write in discussions. It's like a far more articulate version of me saying things I want to say.

    I needed an excuse to change my profile status so I used it to respond to your incredulity that I am still alive.

    Um, the NEW SANDMAN trades have the Absolute -recolouring-...but the older trades don't. You can see a comparison here at the link below and personally I think it's staggeringly different for tonal value of the panels. http://www.comicsalliance.com/2010/09/23/absolute-sandman-recoloring/

    Oh, and cheers for calling me out on the pics on the election thread, I have a bad habit of not registering if a thread's in Discussion or not but I will cut down on the no content posts there.

    heh, sorry, didn't mean to make it look like you were resentful of my presence or anything. I just felt most comfortable approaching you about it. As QT mentioned there are others who feel the same as him. I'll still be around, but I'm just saying I wouldn't be offended. :p

    By the way, if you guys want to have a Terez-free WoT thread, I wouldn't object to that. To be honest, I probably won't be discussing WoT online much longer anyway. It's not good for me. ;) I'm told some people feel like they have to defend a dissertation to discuss WoT with me. Not true, really, but I get it.
