Yup, but the alternative is drinking myself to death or getting hooked on fentanyl/heroin.
I try to work hard enough every day that 2-4 ibuprofen put me to sleep for 6 hours.

It is a balancing act. Uclers vs acceptable level of sleep deprivation.
I worked at the old wiffle horse at Jordan and University. There was a skid row motel behind it. Might have been the Scottish Inn. When they tore down the motel all the roaches moved into the restaurant. They tore it down and built the new one that’s there now.
La Alameda used to be right there as well on University. They had coin op black and white TVs in the booths. Watched the Columbia disaster on one.
Your analysis is spot on.
I worked as a cook at Wiffle Horse when I was a kid and had just left home. They put us up in a hotel once in preparation for an ice storm. I fucked a waitress that was much older than me, crazy party.
We recently moved out of the south. During the moving process I made sure the kid and I ate there enough to get tired of it.
Damn. It had the drowned prison ghost and the casket bobbing up while the two guys were fishing. I need to get a copy of this. Forgot all about it until just now. It was genuinely frightening in an eerie way.
I like mine jello shot style. (2-4 every night, chronic pain management and healthcare sucks in America.)
Obviously I can block them. I wouldn’t call bot spam a community, however.
Yup. She wants to help her people and the most effective way of doing it is by educating the kids.
Giving books to children is a super effective way to spend the money. They can educate themselves out of the hole.
It’s actually really subversive. Smart lady. She plays the game quite well. She can’t take an open liberal stance as she would be marginalized, but educating children is difficult to attack.
I have no doubt that she’s a closeted liberal in the south. It’s often how you have to be to survive.
I was a fundamentalist. (Raised in it.)
I actually read the bible and studied it. No longer a Christian.
Funny how that works.
Thompson Chain Reference KJV represent.
The tamale lady is like the perfect example of what we were taught about the idealized USA and immigration as kids.
They fuck with the tamale lady and they have no idea the hell they’ll unleash.
Hay is generally cut from fallow fields in late summer/early fall. It contains sugars in the stalks as well as the seeds/grain of whatever grasses it is cut from. It is used to feed livestock year round and is the primary feed in winter. It is often supplemented by grain or feed.
Straw is basically an industrial byproduct and is the leftover stalk from grain harvesting. Usually produced from wheat after harvest. Used as bedding.
Die Hard is the best Christmas movie. My son demands we watch it every year.
I’ve had some dark times. Especially when I lost my religion.
Existential crisis is depression’s brother. They often travel together.
Figured out that my purpose is taking care of my people.
My people are my immediate family, friends, people in our small alternative subcommunity, pets. It’s sort of like a tribe and is small enough I can wrap my head around it instead of the world and society at large. It appeals to the pagan inside my inner atheist.
Find someone or something external to yourself to care about that you can meaningfully help and take care of. I’ll give my wife a hug for you.

I’m so stealing this. This is great.
That article was absolutely fascinating. I knew that leafleting was a common propaganda tactic, never thought about it using nudity and sex. Had heard of Tokyo Rose and Jane Fonda.
Most mowers are four stroke like automobile engines, this includes pushmowers. Modern ones even have oil filters. Generally, riding mowers have two cylinder v-twin engines and pushmowers are single cylinder.
Two stroke engines are generally found on smaller things like chainsaws and weed eaters.
You mix special oil into the gas for two strokes. They do produce more smoke, especially when first started.
I see two ureters running from the kidneys to the bladder, one ureter cut, bladder pushed to right side. Urethra runs from bladder on top of vagina. Some dissection knowledge present.
Vulva and pubic mound are present, if not terribly well drawn. There may be some influence of vulva as a mouth.
Ovaries are present as is uterus. Muscular nature of uterus is shown along with fetus.
Clitoris seems to be missing.
There are extra pipes all over, with some going to the wrong locations, and things seem to be linked to the liver. The liver being involved is likely due to whatever medical theories were prevalent at the time, humors maybe.
I would assume that the artist likely took a lot of inspiration from animal entrails.
Ignorance isn’t the same as stupid. Looks like a lot of thought was put into it. I would view this more as an early map than as an attempt at realism.
I gave my son a copy of the Choose Your Own Adventure about the UFOs for Christmas a couple years ago. It’s the one with the impossible ending. The only way to get the good ending is to cheat and flip to it.
I also wrote a hidden message in the picture in the hidden ending. He still hasn’t found it.
Had a drug dealer as neighbor, for about a decade. He wasn’t a low level dealer, dude was moving weight. Must have been distributor level.
While I wouldn’t want him as a friend, he was a good neighbor.
He kept his business to himself. Kept an eye on anything suspicious.
Visitors only would have their stereo up once. After that, you’d hear them turn it down when they got to the corner about a block away.
My insurance is so shitty right now I’m not paying for a sleep study. I know why I sleep shitty. It’s cause I have a big old herina that fucking hurts and kinks my body up due to compensation. Wish I could take Aleve, but it gives me heartburn for days.
Also, can’t take most long acting meds since I don’t have a colon.
