  1. I have not seen one yet, but I would imagine this has more to do with not being on the highways that much. The only time I get on them is to take a bus to the North Shore. They do seem interesting. I feel like I’d wreck one attempting to adjust to driving on the right side of the vehicle though.
  2. Same here. I prefer to have a female doctor for the same reason. I find that the temperament and ability to do their job with more compassion is better than that of their male counterparts on average. We obviously have some male doctors on this board who are people I would trust, but overall women have been the best doctors I have had in my own experiences.
  3. I am going to need to confirm with the Flat Earth King, Kyrie Irving, on just how flat it is.
  4. Worthless trash human being comes back to, and you’re not going to believe this, confirm that he is doubling down on being an ignorant doddering fool who supports our new racists and wannabe nazis in charge. He will one day make the world a better place when he no longer is confined to his mortal coil.
  5. There might be some folks in a few Pacific locales that want a word with you.
  6. I sent a voice message on Tuesday to the mother of my ex-girlfriend thanking her for what she did five years ago on the last night I drank. I told her that if she is able to do so to tell her daughter thank you for kicking me to the curb as that likely saved my life. Hopefully one day I can tell her myself on the phone or in-person. Her mother is an amazingly strong woman and Christian (yes there are a few good ones out there) who thought I could do better and has never stopped helping or encouraging me. Every single day I attempt to make the best of it that I can. Now obviously some days are just going to be completely out of sync. We all deal with that regularly. The difference that I tell myself is that I do not need to ever again run to a bottle and check out on life. The desire to drink died the day I quit. One of the things for me is I took that laser-like focus I have with being on the spectrum and used it to form good habits instead of something that was destroying me bit by bit. The only part of this that sucks is that 1st year saying goodbye to my aunt a year and a day after I stopped drinking. I had to see her incapacitated on a FaceTime call and say goodbye to her while I was in Vermont celebrating one year sober. I will forever think of how alcohol robbed me of her and her children of their mom and the grandchildren who she was in the beginning stages of showering with love. She was a nurse for three decades and knew better, but her and her longtime alcoholic boyfriend just kept drinking. She stopped a month before she died, but it was too late. If any of you reading this feel like alcohol is taking over your life please reach out to someone on this thread or someone in-person you trust. The alcohol never loses. You do not have to let it win though. You can make a stand and say no more. Perhaps it will not be as painless as it was for me to walk away, but do it if you cannot function without drinking. Your friends and loved ones will thank you for doing that.
  7. Same to you my friend! 🤘
  8. My favorite movie I have ever watched outside of the movie Patton is Jojo Rabbit. I saw it the night it came out and got to listen to Taika Waititi talk to us after the movie ended. He took questions and explained the movie and why he did it, which was cool. That was October 2019 when he was sounding the alarm about feeling a sense of frustration that he was making a movie to remind people about the nazis. If you have ever seen him talk you know he is a pretty lighthearted guy that is universally loved by the folks who work with him. He was pissed having to trample on Nazi ideology again almost eight decades after they got beaten senseless in WWII. Here we are confronting homegrown idiots now. I am sure they will all peacefully denounce their beliefs once they hear some reason and common sense from those of us who aren’t wannabe nazis.
  9. It saddens me greatly to see what this orange clown and his band of death cult followers have done. Hardly unique to see this kind of person in power throughout history, but you would never have expected it to happen in America, but here we are. Our soon to be allies in name only are hopefully putting together contingency plans to deal with us for at least four years, if not longer.
  10. You are a trash human being who should be completely embarrassed to say what you just did.
  11. ISWYDT We are absolutely Fubar’d. I have never been more angry and embarrassed to be an American than I was today. The right words for today escape me. None would be nice though. 77 million people wanted today and got it. Elon Musk would have gotten beaten to death 80 years ago by every single American for what he did today and their orange cult leader would have been a laughingstock, but not today.
  12. Not a New Yorker and I am going to ask you to not tell me to shut up. I do not say that to anyone. Really do not like to be labeled anything other than being an American, especially since I do not live in New York anymore. The state tribalism thing is just more odd to me the older I get.
  13. Because they are COWARDS who love being part of this death cult.
  14. When the person in charge is white trash he tends to associate with other white trash. Dana White fits the bill on that perfectly. He personifies what this country has become.
  15. Don’t talk about my senator like this! Also I have no idea what the names are of either senator here.
  16. Snoop is not surprising. He will do a show if you throw enough cash his way. Heck he’s a Lakers fan, but if he does a show in Boston he’ll put a Celtics jersey on. Money means more than principles because if any of these performers had any they would have declined to show up for this farce.
  17. It’s heart-warming to see a perennial underdog from a small market like LA land Sasaki. Guys if LA keeps this up they might just field a good team this year. I know, I know that’s crazy talk, but the Little Engine That Could looks like it’s really turning the corner with this signing.
  18. If I could trade doing away with North Korea, but in return I would have to do away with Texas I would take that deal in a heartbeat. Your imbeciles in charge are hellbent on destroying anything that remotely functions well there. It’s both incredible and sad to witness from afar. I hope my niece and nephew just get homeschooled.
  19. Oh nice. Hope the Rotunda collapses on him.
  20. Did their districts lose any homes? You’ll get an easy answer to that one.
  21. The line for that one extends to, oh, Sri Lanka or so.
  22. California needs to just stop propping up most of the old confederacy and withhold federal taxes. Let’s those pull’em up by the bootstraps clowns show just how self-reliant they can be without Californians paying for the social services they have access to.
  23. I am going to say he’s absolutely lying. I say this as someone who played World of Warcraft hardcore in my mid-20’s when the game came out. They had a feature on there for PvP (player vs. player) and it had a battleground setup for those not aware of how that game worked. To get to the highest level of PvP you quite literally had to play 15 plus hours a day for a good 3-4 months. I was younger and had more free time so of course I wasted several months of life pursuing this ranking and in-game title. Musk has not played Diablo beyond even a cursory figuring out the controls stage. This lie is right up there with Kim Jong Il’s golf score of 17 holes in one in 18 holes. Any gamer would quickly tell you Musk is a fraud on this one, but to those not familiar with any Blizzard games you wouldn’t know. Luka Doncic would laugh at this as well. This is what a narcissist does. He makes up an incredibly unrealistic lie and sticks with it for the attention. What a worthless human being that deserves to be shot directly into the sun.
  24. These are thoughts similar to my own. I will be far enough away by the time that might come to pass. Millions will not though, which is just incredible to contemplate. My hope is we have enough people in there that will push back against this idiot and any potential Flynn types. If not get ready for a new military adventure at the doorstep of the large landmass in Southeast Asia. What a fun time that will be.
  25. I am aware of the impact globalist policies have on these situations. These are not normal times though and we are acting like a drunk superpower hellbent on driving all of our allies off the cliff with us. At some point self-preservation is going to come to the forefront for all of them. We cannot be allowed to go completely unchecked while we are being led by incompetent racist morons who have a view of the world that is incongruent with those of our allies. Decoupling hurts, but if the alternative is a complete crash you have to make tough choices. The kinds of choices world leaders often fail to make when they put money above their fellow countrymen and women.
