He lived a good life, projecting all the good qualities we could wish a man to possess. Confidence, compassion, wisdom, courage and justice. 86 is a long life, all things considered.

Also, he had Alzheimer’s and Lewy body dementia. It’s a loss to us, and it certainly will be to those who knew him. But for him, it was probably a mercy. No one good should have to suffer through such illness.

Our old lady just turned 20 as well. Hope your kitties have many more healthy years ahead of them.

As if it wasn’t de facto legal already. There’s a reason they’ve been bringing them to russia for decades. This is just theater.

Yammock sauce, obviously. I hear someone has eighty cases of it.

Be seeing you.

I read Meditations and other Stoic texts pretty regularly. They have guided many of my beliefs.

All of this will pass. You won’t necessarily be able to control any of the variables outside of your own life, but living a virtuous life isn’t about becoming the leader of a country or amassing gigantic wealth. It’s about doing the right thing, for yourself and others, when it’s time to make decisions. I take solace in that. I may not always make the perfectly right decision, but as long as I’m generally guided by what’s right, especially when it’s a difficult path to take, I will have lived a good life.

I rotate through a bunch of them. Currently Bosch. Before that was Star Trek: DS9.

Attention Bajoran workers, if you do not build a statue of me within 5 minutes, I will be forced to release neurocine gas into the habitat ring.

And where does this cycle of hatred end?

Let’s see. Maybe we could start with the russians not invading other countries and brutalizing their people? Or is your point that it’s us on the receiving end who are supposed to magically not hate the invaders?

Trick you into what? Having a conversation?

I think you know perfectly well what women fear from men. That’s not to say it was necessarily the intention of this person to have anything nefarious happen.

Meanwhile women post videos asking “why can’t I find a date? Why won’t anyone say hi”.

Strawman. OP didn’t, and she’s the person we’re currently discussing.

Do you know the kind of generational trauma caused by rape, torture, dispossession and murder? Because that’s what I’ve inherited, and yes, as a result I don’t want anything to do with any russians.

Was it the kremlin who raped, tortured and murdered in Bucha, Irpin, Mariupol and other places in their current war? Or was it “normal” russians?

How do you define neurotypical then?

As a “neurotypical”, if I understand that term correctly, I can enjoy a conversation and silence alike without awkwardness. I’d rather have silence than to sit with someone who insists on filling every pause with meaningless chatter.

Good. Fuck the russians. My grandparents always said “ryssä on ryssä vaikka voissa paistais.” Which means “a russian is a russian even if you fry them in butter.” They never forgot what the soviets did to our country.

I believe you.

Yes, I have. The others in my party who saw it happen just laughed about it.

I’m guessing you were one of the people saying “all lives matter” when BLM appeared?

Hope Bambi makes it.
