Autistic and I don’t care, but I do listen and I try to do it well.

He’s an obese 78 year old who eats McDonald’s every day and has been getting visibly less coherent and energetic. You don’t need a doctor to tell you the next four years are unlikely to be completely free of significant health issues

Remember all those stories rich white people used to tell about the dangers of “gang initiation rites”? I guess that was a confession too

I don’t know if this is universal, but all the people I know who consider themselves antifa in Connecticut also actually consider themselves far-left (anarchists or some variety of communists, mostly), myself included. I’d love it if liberals would take part, but I don’t know any self-described Democrats or moderates who do.

I’m too petty to be a reporter, every time I’d write: “musk, who retroactively won the right to be considered a founder of Tesla in court, …”

When you say you make your own marzipan, do you start from almonds? That seems like so much work- is it significantly cheaper or better than store bought marzipan or do you just prefer to be self sufficient?

Can I ask what color your kid’s freckles are? I ask, because the redheads in my family have orange freckles, and the non-redheads have brown freckles. It looks like that correlates with the type of melanin, which would also affect whether they tan.

~~Though admittedly~~ after all

 

He writes insane things in all caps that are divisive, instead of hopeful. His products are overpriced, flimsy, and deceptive, instead of cost effective, long lasting, and simple (this isn’t an ad, this is probably not a comparison they’d invite, but I’m happy to reword this if it feels like too strong a recommendation). He takes the worst parts of religion and distorts them to suit his purposes, instead of using just the best parts of various religions and other writers to try and find a universal message.

 

Hi, I’m in a classic college crunch, even though I’m fucking 32 and getting my master’s. I have a paper due yesterday and no extension, but I’m hoping they don’t check the mailbox until Monday.

Onto the problem: I’m exhausted and fried from too much stress and weed, and too little food and sleep (zero hunger though, plus I’m puking from stress, so… I’m eating soup when I can and starting with good breakfasts). I have to write, but I can’t think because I’m so tired. I can’t sleep because I’m so stressed. I can’t calm down, because I haven’t written the paper. Weed ostensibly helps with the first two but very much not with the third one.

I wrote two sentences (the first two in the introduction) in 35 minutes, so trying to push through is… inefficient. What do I do?

Edit: I have already discussed and agreed with my fiancé, we’re not buying any more weed at least until I’m done with my studies, so no worries there.
