Because he is so damned competent. A true leader that cares about his crew, and who respects life and people. He’s a student of history, an amateur archeologist, and he has his own damn saddle.

Copland.

Read this article and tell me you think these cops are all 100% clean

This movie made me want to be an epidemiologist it was so good

And in 2004 he was killed all over again from being portrayed by fuckin collin ferral

Fukin’ awesome. Science! I can’t help but wonder what his pulse felt/sounded like 😶‍ Would it be just a continuous “woosh” or would it even have a “beat?” His EKG must’ve looked WILD. And knowing it can work for that long… well, who’s to say it doesn’t become the preferred option in the future!

No! Stop it! Bad Ickplant!

lol you’re a fucking loser. eat shit troll.

yeah sure, I love wasting time arguing with bad faith actors! You’re clearly in the special group of the best thinkers, it’s so fun to spend time talking with people like you!

Yeah this is totally warranted given the recent news. I mean, one side trying to expand medicare, the other gutting it. One side trying to close Guantanamo bay, the other opening concentration camps on it. One side trying to get money out of politics, the other side destroying democracy for want of more money.

Totally helpful, totally warranted, OP. Well done. Way to go. You’re so cool and centrist.

Take a multi-day trip beforehand. You should at least experience an abbreviated version of living together before you actually do.

Sigor Ros. Saw them live and, despite their melancholy music, put on a helluva show. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed them live!

That and The Flaming Lips. Their live shows are always spectacular, seen them twice

I know they will be there for me when I need it

Here’s the thing, relationships take work. Not just marriages or romantic ones, they all take work. Effort needs to be made by both parties, or else the relationship will die. I had a friend that affectionately called it “friend work,” where they would spend a bit of time each day putting in the effort needed to maintain a healthy friendship, because if she didn’t, then the relationship would suffer for it.

Not wanting to engage in the world right now is very common, and downright reasonable considering the general state of things. If a relationship you have with someone is mentally stressing you, or sapping your energy, consider whether or not that relationship is valuable to you, and act accordingly. If the relationship is important to you, and you want it to continue or grow, then you have to put effort into it. If the relationship is one-sided, and feels draining, and you want it to end, then put forth zero effort into it, and it will naturally go away.

Adding to OPs note:

In Makt Myrkranna, Dracula comes to England not alone, but rather with a deaf-dumb woman who is apparently his slave and together with another beautiful aristocratic female vampire, Josephine, who flaunts her sexuality.[20] Josephine is described as having her “neck and upper chest revealed” while wearing a “necklace of glittering diamonds”, whom Harker finds “something indecent” about, despite his evident attraction to her.

protesting is where you meet these communities and working groups.

Same. I was there for the Women’s march, there for BLM, after George Floyd, and most recently for the 50501 (which was surprisingly well attended despite it’s quick set-up). Let me know if there’s another one, and I’ll be there too. All it takes for evil to succeed is for good men to do nothing.

the graphics seem worse somehow

This really is the only right answer.

When I was young, myself and a group of friends were being accosted by a disheveled man on our walk home from the bar. We didn’t really understand what he was saying, but we were able to discern one phrase, as he told us to “Put the pussy on a chain wax”

We had no idea what it meant, and thought it was hilarious, so we’d oft repeat it at random.

Thinking about it now, I suddenly realize what he meant. He was referring to the woman in our group, telling us to pimp her out, by putting her up against a chain-link fence that were so plentiful in rough neighborhoods where we grew up.

So now I’m telling you, so that if you ever encounter this gentleman, you’ll know what he’s talking about 😶‍👍

especially because they view getting up early as some sort of badge of honor, while everyone who dares to follow their own natural circadian rhythm is some lazy good-for-nothing. You’re not special for sleeping during a a different time of the day, get over yourself.

How have you managed to keep any potted plants with three cats??
