Goddamn …. That is a thing of horrific beauty. I saved it immediately.

(I’m a technical writer so it should be fun to go through this ancient tome)

In the case of many GenX folks: “our turn” will never arrive. The Boomers refused to fucking retire and make room for us, and younger generations conflate us with Boomers because “old is old”.

Meanwhile we are working our asses off helping our elderly parents navigate an increasingly hostile health system (yay, capitalism) while giving our adult children a place to live or money to survive an increasingly impossibly expensive society. Can’t afford to save for retirement either.

“Hooray”

(fyi - I also think that term limits are the way to go here - finish your terms, then gtfo. None of this waiting around for 20 years for “my turn” and certainly none of that “just wheel the old corpse in and tell her how to vote” bullshit either)

lol the ODD explains it all.

Bye bye now

This is probably because you are stating your subjective opinion in a rude & condescending way, instead of providing any peer-reviewed data to back up your claims.

tl;dr/succinct version - you are full of shit

I take the BEST naps right after my Vyvanse kicks in. Usually only for 20-30 minutes, but it’s very restful.

Then I pop up and have normal energy levels.

This is very much my concern as well.

This was exactly my first thought.

And if so, that’s a double “fuck you” to Joe and everyone on his staff trying to keep this shit under wraps.

He should have just resigned the goddamn Presidency when he was first diagnosed JFC

They will still figure out a way to blame Biden/Democrats/DEI/woke agenda tho … and people will swallow it.

I beg to differ

Oh shit….I need to go get that!

(Speaking of books …. time to go see if that fancy hardback edition of Cibola**Burn is ever going to get released.

edit: it’s not coming out any time soon 😤

They absolutely were.

Well, yes…and it’s been quite obvious for some time now.

I can’t have been the only person who noticed the weird sudden pattern of American Neo-Nazis with hot Russian wives a decade ago.

That’s exactly right; your continuous effort (and mine) happens to be different.

It’s just internal and invisible to others, but it’s still happening constantly.

I do my absolutely best work a couple of hours before the big project is due.

I might have had a few weeks to do it, but nooooo. I don’t even really get started until the night before.

I do think it’s the added “element of danger” that kicks my brain into overdrive.

The rest of the time, I’m in a quasi-befogged state. Perhaps during that boring time, I’m saving up energy to handle the “danger” before going back into my little trance.

I’ve been weirdly extremely successful once I figured out how to work with this tendency, instead of fighting it.

Stubborn and creative!

I like it :)

This is exactly why I have a complex system of alarms set up on my phone 🤦‍♀️

CBD:THC 1:1 with the THC part being either hybrid or Indica (I prefer hybrid, YMMV)

I avoid sativa like the plague. It spikes my anxiety like nothing else

That’s a great point - my brain is always flippity-flopping but you’d never know it by looking at my RBF

These people are fucking monsters

Thinking back on how long and hard FWISD fought against desegregation, and the stupid “malicious compliance” games they would play to follow it when forced by the Federal Government - this is exactly what it all boils down to.

These assholes are angry that they’ve been forced to share “their” public spaces with black folks, and they have tried everything under the Sun for the last 50+ years to undo it.
