Because of the text I see the pics of young you and think of the kid from the movie Problem Child.

Could be Republican asymptomatic / pre-symptomatic carriers.

The clear party division is a hell of a coincidence.... but the masks are supposed to be more effective on those who have it to keep from spreading rather than being more effective for the ones who don't have it to be protected. So wear a mask even if your OWN mask doesn't benefit YOU specifically much, because we're all in this together, and if we all do this it will spread a hell of a lot less. Oh yeah also "Well I feel fine so I'm not sick, so why do I need to wear it?" You could be infected but not showing symptoms YET, or you could be an asymptomatic carrier, basically you may have it and not know it and can spread to other people with you none the wiser.

Good point. But even then, taking out the contractions would be improper citing so the meme in question still not a good strategy for that.

I mean, technically you're not supposed to use contractions in essays anyway, because it's considered "not academic." In my high school and college English classes you'd get docked points for contractions like "I'm."

I gotta wonder what he thinks the people were gonna do with zip ties while storming the capitol.

I don't know if you're 100% serious about calling them panic attacks or if you're using hyperbole. If serious, do you have health insurance? Therapy and medication can do wonders for panic attacks, I know first hand. If hyperbole, the more you immerse yourself in these situations, the easier it gets and the less nervous you'll be.

I'm not even sure what it is you're trying to encourage me to do here... get a woman to ask me out?

?

Also buddy I'm kinda miffed you think what I said stems out of hope for me not having to shoot my shot rather than a place of real empathy for jackie.

Nope. I have never once in my 37 years of life on this planet been asked out by a woman. I'm not super hot or some prize in status or wealth either, so no super motivation for a woman to make the first move on me even she is interested. Plus that whole "waited too long to make a move" thing has happened to me multiple times. I never count on the woman to make the first move, regardless of how hard it is for me to do it, and this doesn't change things.

I am really proud of you for going for it, it's definitely a hard thing to do when you don't have much experience doing it (assuming you don't) and rejection does hurt but all I can say is all you can do is get back on that horse and not let it discourage you from trying again in the future. However I'm not sure how common it is for women to ask out men these days, but on the other hand some of us men (like me) are so scared to death of being rejected that we might not make a move on a woman we really like.

Congratulations on asking him out. Sucks about the response, but hopefully you can put him behind you now.

Apparently you were scarier.

Maybe the radiation will turn you into some kind of Dick Man super hero!

I always fall asleep watching TV. Sometimes whatever show's on does invade my dreams though.

Or his drug. (Is speed amphetamines? I'm just gonna guess it is)

Actually I found that very informative. And lol if you still think I was trying to "correct" you about the pay pig thing. See, here's how a lot of my replies like that are meant to be taken: "Oh, that's what you thought of? I thought of this other thing. Isn't it funny how we thought of two different things about the same post?" I don't know how sharing my thoughts about the same subject is correcting you, but ok.

"Either way?" Like, if you kill me, your suffering will come to an end?

Since you already listed me as the one to do the killing, deal.

Tampax is the name of the company that makes Tampons. Maybe Tampax was founded in Tampa or the founder is from Tampa.

Was adult Yoda a gremlin?

My first instinct was Slimer.

Since he's a PhD student, I dub him Smarty-Pants.

Guys. It's about the 'P' on the coffee mug.
