For legal immigration? Nah, you're fucked. For coming here "on a vacation" or just smuggling yourself across the wide-ass open border, if you have a Canadian friend in the upper class echelon of society then they definitely own a summer home on a lake somewhere you can hide in.

I am currently watching Hannibal and it's fascinating because it is trash and high art effortlessly intertwined into a single whole.

I'm pretty sure McDonalds funds the GoP, Israel, and participates in union busting efforts, and does protect franchise owners who are racist if they think it protects their profit margins. McDonalds sucks, they just don't suck more than any other Fast Food chain. Rowling does extra-suck.

I think a trash book or trash media is okay sometimes, especially if it is delicious trash. But I am highly suspect of anyone who, in media diet or food diet *only* consumes trash and uses that trash as a frame of reference for everything.

This is something that feels awkward to explain in short skeets, but McDonalds is the perfect comparison. Some people love it and its all they eat. Some people think its absolute trash for moral and health reasons and refuse to touch it. Most people are somewhere in the middle.

I could also cite multiple negative impacts of McDonalds and how its food is unhealthy and various ways it mistreats its workers. But it's still incredibly popular and there are understandable reasons why. (it's tasty and convenient) Good critique requires understanding the intended audience.

My take on the Harry Potter series is that it is like the McDonalds of literature. I'm not even a person that hates McDonalds, and with the exception of a few parts I don't even hate Harry Potter, just the author. But a Big Mac, while tasty, isn't fine dining. Harry Potter isn't high art.

J: Not everyone feels thoughts in correspondence with physical sensation like my system does, but if you do and each of you has a different feel to your thoughts you can usually make contact by trying to remember and focus on that feeling. Just try to do it deliberately and not accidentally.

J: The simplest and most straightforward way to deal with "bridging the gap" is the same way people develop the skill of lucid dreaming and dream retention. They keep dream journals, you'd need to keep a fronting journal that may include messages from one alter to another that should be remembered.

J: Sounds like an issue in mental state compatibility. The easiest way to explain it is that it is a lot like why we forget our dreams. That data is recorded in another mental state to which we have less of a frame of reference to in a waking state. Sometimes alters fronting is like this.

Most people who cook food for a living are psychologically damaged drug addicts, and usually are that way *because* they cook food for a living, but almost none of you are really ready for that conversation.

The most popular kinks were BDSM with a focus on pain endurance, which honestly tracks.

Is it weird that I could specifically answer this question for several of my straight male co-workers? NGL most of them were just into basic-ass piv sex. The kinky ones usually wouldn't hide it during sex conversations. This was in kitchens at bars and grills, so maybe it's just that culture.

Useless on the user-end, but is it keeping them from getting sued tho? It was only ever supposed to cover them legally in countries with more restrictive social media regulations than the good ole US of A.

Would you believe real public calls to action against the government that involve illegal acts of force is a crime that the government selectively enforces with a bias against the left-wing? It's true!

I watched the previews and it looked like shit so I'm dipping to get drunk for Local Nationalism/Patriotism Holiday. It might be whitewashing atrocities but somehow it's still less toxic than this.

Amy, as possibly your most loyal Reply Girl, I feel obligated to express concern for your emotional well-being. Ain't none of this matters. It's beyond parody, especially since parodies are supposed to be funny. You *are* funny, and charismatic, and relatable. You're above this, if you want to be.

Correction: The Iranian Revolution qualifies as a major revolution by my standards and was not instigated by a starvation riot.

Also the Gish Gallop means you can't do that effectively because every lie takes at least 5X the amount of time it takes to say it to disprove it. Some take much more time. People have tried to explain this to Pelosi and senior dems for THIRTY YEARS and they still think they know better.

Every major revolution *except* the American Revolution was instigated by a starvation riot. While hunger remains a problem to this day, the basic rule of running a functional government, beyond all ideologies, is never allow the circumstances for a starvation riot to form.

I think a thing that's poorly understood about American history is that a lot of the progress made through the New Deal was driven by the political elite's fear of the Russian Revolution happening here and not by them having a sudden turn of heart after being visited by multiple ghosts or something.

I'd argue the people pushing for a younger working age are ignorant that some parents and guardians force young teens into employment so they can take part or all of their income but they aren't. If anything this is probably on the behalf of every unfit parent who wants to exploit their child early.

The reason my drug dealer got into selling drugs in the first place was to have the money to pay to his adopted mother so she wouldn't throw his ass out of the house at fourteen. He got out of there by the time he was seventeen because she'd want an even larger cut of anything he made by eighteen.

So this guy was adopted by a woman as a baby, same as all of the other kids she raised. She considered herself a good Catholic woman doing her duty to god. She also insisted all of her adopted children get a job at the minimum legal age and pay rent at market rate.

Gather 'round biskies, the gummy shark has a story. Back when weed was illegal I used to buy weed off of a guy who was into pitbulls, video games, and hard liquor. A pretty typical drug dealer. We were friends for a while and bonded. But it's his past before that to which this quote is relevant.
