- Comment on If you were born late in the month of December .... you can relate to THIS 1 day ago:
Some families are compassionate to such birthdays and celebrate for them with a big real party every June.

I would rather learn how to build an analog clock. In the olden days clock makers were highly respected & incredibly intelligent, it’s quite an intellectual & mechanical art & science & craft to build an analog clock.
- Comment on Don't fix the problem just change the parameters 1 day ago:
Yes I remember sometimes they would remotely adjust our clocks and you could see the hands moving quickly until they stopped in their intended position. Pretty genius for the old days.
- Comment on Don't fix the problem just change the parameters 1 day ago:
It took me until age 15 to become comfortable reading analog clocks and confident knowimg which way is left and right (hey cut me some slack, left/right gets confusing sometimes because of mirrors & facing people).

Don’t even get me started on the leaded gasoline we were all putting into our cars, toxic fumes which contributed to creating madness in so many people’s minds, so many serial killers running amok those decades.
- Comment on Did it really used to be common for guys to go to a bar every night like in Cheers or The Simpsons? 2 days ago:
I will state some facts. Alcohol is literally poison. Alcohol has calories but no nutrients. Alcohol is not necessary for human consumption. Alcohol is harmful to humans. No benefits aside from being a mind-altering substance that helps people relax or whatever.
My drug of choice is intense physical exercise. All the side effects of physical exercise are good & positive: mentally, physically, & spiritually. Energetic & alert & clear-thinking during the day, and sleep well at night. The effects & benefits of intense physical exercise are real & long-lasting. Not temporary or superficial.

My dad was an alcoholic. And I’m well-acquainted with depression. None of this is funny. And I think people who put poison into their bodies are idiots.

People who drink do indeed report that in the height of inebriation, everything in their lives feels quite good & well. Then they report the hell of the hangover the next day, and the craving for more alcohol so they can feel good again. A perpetual cycle of drunkenness that eventually affects career & family & finances & domicile stability.
Alcohol is, however, an inextricable part of the human experience
I’ve never had alcohol in my life. Poisoning oneself does not need to be normalized.

I can’t believe Jon wasted his time with that hussy.

Yes, Nermal was the evilest, everyone despised Nermal.

I had one of his McDonald’s clear glass colorful lead-paint collectors mugs in the 1980s.
- Comment on Did it really used to be common for guys to go to a bar every night like in Cheers or The Simpsons? 2 days ago:
I was just speaking from what I’ve observed in others’ behavior. I literally have never had alcohol in my life, nor do I ever “go out,” especially not to bars. None of that appeals to me.

People think alcohol fixes problems, really it only makes problems worse & causes more problems.
- Comment on Did it really used to be common for guys to go to a bar every night like in Cheers or The Simpsons? 2 days ago:
It’s technically considered depression & alcoholism to drink alone in one’s house.
Most people use alcohol to unwind & socialize so they do it in social environments.
- Comment on What are some good uses the new ballroom can have after the Trump regime is over? 2 days ago:
A tourist attraction, an unhallowed mausoleum to store Trump’s rotting corpse where people can walk by & spit on it or throw tomatoes at it or pour gasoline & matches on it or whatever.
- Comment on How do people get rid of or sell stolen jewelry? I ask cause the news says the the Louve thieves can never sell it because it so known? 3 days ago:
The Louvre heist was done in broad daylight and nobody stopped them. If it hasn’t occurred to anyone that this was orchestrated by people of the highest authority who are far above the law, I don’t know what else to tell you. The value of those jewels can now be recirculated back into the economy instead of sitting uselessly in a glass case for eternity.
- Comment on Soup 3 days ago:
If I add chunks of vegetables & potatoes & shredded roast to my tea, is it soup now?
- Comment on What are some good uses the new ballroom can have after the Trump regime is over? 3 days ago:
A free retirement villa for all the citizens he took healthcare & SNAP away from.

Does that really work?

You’re doing it wrong.
- Comment on There was no need to ever improve upon THIS 3 days ago:
My 2018 vehicle has intuitive tactile knobs & buttons. Easy to operate without eyes ever leaving the road. I am grateful.

Ah yes, the views.
- Comment on Banana 3 days ago:
Self- righteous religious celebrities are awkwardly sexually repressed and their feigned wholesomeness & naivete are nauseating.
- Comment on Who makes up the "serving size" on microwave food? 3 days ago:
Maybe she has an eating disorder and is uncomfortable with other people watching her eat, so she made herself a dainty portion because she knew you were observing her. Her “whole ordeal” was the angst she felt wishing she could enjoy more than two crackers & a slice of cheese.
- Comment on If I were a waiter, I would describe the days soup as "Very hot, and very wet" 3 days ago:
I was a grumpy waitress for a year. I was bluntly honest when particularly grumpy.
Customer: What do you recommend?
Grumpy waitress: I dunno, I don’t eat any of this shit. Do you think I’d look this good if I ate shit like this? But everyone who eats here loves everything we serve. It’s all good for those who like this type of food.

OP had a hot wet shower.
