Fixed that for you.

The fuck does that mean?

The worst of both worlds, believe you me.

For those wondering... the Chinese tech billionaire who purchased the rights to produce the adaptation that was eventually seen on Netflix was murdered by the lawyer he initially hired to negotiate the deal.

You're a Xennial, probably.

I really don’t think he has a strong opinion on abortion, if only for the simple reason it doesn’t matter to him. Sure he’ll sign it if it’s front of him, but only if there’s something else in it for him. He’s happy to crow about voting in justices that overturned Roe v Wade because it not only represented a favor to his rabid GOP base, it represented a favor to the conservatives on the SCOTUS. It’s part of his transactional relationship with everybody and everything. It’s different with immigration. Trump is a known racist. Eradicating non white people is an explicit goal even if it’s not expressed in those exact words, and making the distinction between this and his stance on abortion highlights the true danger he poses once he’s given the ability to use someone else’s agenda as a bargaining chip for his corrupt business ventures.

I'm kind of interested in seeing it simply because of all the tragedy involved in its adaptation.

I don't think anyone genuinely thought a known rapist would seriously endorse a national ban, but, at the same time, he's politically weak enough that he would still sign such a ban into law if it meant achieving other personal agenda items.

Only 40% here, and that's enough for me.

You do excellent work.

I have a friend flying her grandkids to Texas to see the apocalypse. I guess wit Southwest it’s not so expensive but still… Texas.

The old ghostrek could never time a “yes” that perfectly.

I mean, we do live next to the mother of all strike-slip transform faults so it's always assumed we're more used to earthquakes than anyone else on the North American Plate. But, your experience isn't all that different than ours. The primary reason NYC tends to be resistant to earthquakes isn't so much building codes as it is the fact you, by necessity, have to connect your buildings' foundations to bedrock. If the same earthquake were to happen somewhere in the remote midwest, it would likely have significantly more damage.

I don’t like shaving, but it’s been better now that I use a safety razor instead of an electric one. I’ll shave once a week because that’s how long I can go before stubble becomes an actual beard, and I shave it all off.

I don't want to impinge on the fantasy here, but if there's discharge in child birth, the poor lady is probably dying. Ghosty has been through enough in life.

Gotcha.

Hold up. What if..... the serial killer cannibalized the rapist? I mean, now they're technically the same person and you can still have your sick and twisted fantasies.

Why would you teabag a rapist? He’s just going to bite your balls off and then you’ll be ball-less with a rapist chained up in your front yard. I mean it’s a small victory, but still.

Cool

I thought it happened to you.

Do you have the box and foam for that tv still? You're almost doing as much work to box it yourself so that it doesn't get damaged as you would by renting a U-Haul for a day or so and strapping it to the side with a blanket and some Home Depot ratchet straps. (FWIW, I have extensive experience moving musical instruments.)

No, it's not unfortunate. Striking a clearly marked and previously announced humanitarian aid convoy, even by accident, is a war crime. It falls under reckless intent at the very least. However, it appears things are worse than that: analysts are suggesting they were precision strikes on the convoy.

We haven't used a mover in years, and the last time we did they only moved furniture. The best advice I can give is to have the movers move things like furniture and appliances, and move everything else like dishes, electronics, valuables, breakable items and clothing yourself. If need be, I suggest renting a small (16') box truck for your smaller items because its a hell of a lot easier and faster moving boxes on a dolly with a lift gate.

I don't like having a beard, so I don't value it at all.
