Talking about the benedryl as the antihistamine.

Antihistamine and modafinil is an interesting combo, you had drugs tugging on you in both sleepy and waking directions, wonder if that was canceling out and why it wasn’t so obvious?

If it’s gabapentin, do I have news for you lmaooo

Fascinating. I wonder if you’ll have increased anxiety? I was on a daily antihistamine for anxiety for a while.

The easy word to say is liberal, and perhaps that means I’ve said it too much, and I’ll even apologize for that. I’ll have to think on what to say instead. But I’m not giving up the “infighting” in general until I’m sure my loved ones are safe from my own party.

I think my number one priority right now as a civilian, not an elected official, is to make sure whatever government comes out of this whole thing isn’t the worst Dem government we’ve had in my lifetime, and both Cuomo and Newsom *really* have me worried about that.

Haven’t we discovered since then that including your thumb in your finger grip trivializes this now by removing forearm fatigue from the equation?
I demand a rematch. We can do this without copping out due to an “illegal move”

regardless, I'm a descendant of Cubs fans, hope springs eternal, but actually building for success certainly speeds it up a bit. so I will simply continue to poke at liberals while I focus on resisting the admin, and just show up to the primaries and elections yet again next cycle.

it's a credit to the progressive wing of the party that we never coined an equivalent term to "RINO" despite how apt the acronym would be for some people, because we generally don't want to *actually* sabotage the party. in fact, I seem to remember something like that being aimed *at* us instead...

the fact that "a liberal" should not be a primary-winning credential for a Democrat candidate, the same way that "a conservative" generally isn't enough to secure the Republican nomination on the other side.

Regardless, I'm watching in abject terror as a candidate or two that not only just fail to inspire, but start to endorse actively harmful policies, start to go up in the party opinion polls. agh, I need to get back on answering YouGov surveys too, fuck.

I don't disagree on any of this, and it's what makes my local newspaper's 2018 takeover by Gannett a real sore spot for me, I've been watching with interest the local publication that has popped up in the wake of that, hoping it's even half decent.

am I still looking for a protest to show up to this weekend in support of Newsom's fight in California, absolutely. will I say a kind word about the man once this is over? Not a chance in hell.

I'm going to be honest, if we end up with Gov. Newsom leading in the primary after all this, turning the federal election into "I hate immigrants" vs "I hate trans people", I am going to regret every single word I left unsaid now, while it could still be prevented. "infighting" may save lives.
comment in response to
post
now, while we're not in power, is the correct time to push the party to actually become something that can *win* the next election. Lest we run another "electable" candidate that can't actually win an election.

also worth noting that the Southern states are only about 60-70% white. there's a certain brand of American racism that flourishes in 90+% white states like Wyoming that's much fiercer than can exist in a state where you live with minorities in your everyday life.

I’m much younger, I believe it was an early PowerPC Mac running System 7. But that’s my best guess only, from vague memories of a time before I even knew how to read. (Still played a lot of Risk on it though lol)

“Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp,” cried she
With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore,
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

I'm reminded of the proposition in A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court that cats are actually the ideal royal family. Just as useful, as knowledgeable, just as vain and absurd, equally up to squabbling with other royals, and above all much less expensive and dangerous

it turns out we never should have been worried about whether the AI could forcibly take over the world, and much more worried about the people who just give it that power regardless of if it's ready

So really I suppose these are common things for average people to believe about monarchy lol. I’m always fascinated by the depiction of aristocracy in folktales. Are they being flattered? Are they disdained? Did they do anything to deserve either one?
comment in response to
post
But then again scholars say there wasn’t a hereditary government in that area at the time, aristocracy sure, which the Buddha was certainly part of, but none of the rest of this story has good sourcing either. Same with “let them eat cake”, it’s recorded from before Marie even came to France
comment in response to
post
There’s an old story about the Buddha, when he was born there was a prophecy that he’d either be a great general and king or a great holy man, and what would decide it is whether he ever found out about suffering in the world. Well, he’s a prince, so they figured they had it covered lol

What if she actually meant to offer them cake, and thought she just had plenty of it for everyone

Uhhh “sdl incrementer”… “xinput counting machine” “when I hit A, add one” okay okay what if you use *Steam* inputs to emulate a keyboard using a gamepad, and then use one of the ones that uses a keyboard
(Oh shoot did I shitpost into an actual solution, sorry lmao)
comment in response to
post
No no, not gamepad, you mean keyboard right? Uh, if you have enough buttons on your mouse, that could be a keyboard too! Um. What about a Bluetooth number pad, surely one of those, right? Gamepad…don’t those connect via sound cards? No I’m sorry, I’m a Serious Business Machine, math is for keys only

Having grown up in rural AR, they *also* don't want anything to do with liberals. I never even heard a kind word about Clinton. This isn't a "leftist" problem, this is a problem for *all* of us. I'm not willing to drop compassion just because the people who need it the most don't want it.

Forbes is the only website I have blocked in my ad blocker, so if I accidentally follow a link there it just shows a blank screen instead. This immediately reduced my average frustration level on the internet. I may have to add WaPost next.
