I'm gonna need you to be VERY specific about the ways in which you imagine a 22 year old in a sailboat could 'harm Israel'.
...and then we can talk about your 'psychic powers', you absolute bellend.

The hooves are no good for zip, zap, zip, either. Real let-down.

It took a few years, but Bam Bam Barger is becoming the player I'd hoped that he would, and my gal, you love to see it.
Also, yes, it's nice not to pucker so hard I give myself a wedgie when the bullpen's tapped.

no ma'am.
folks get themselves into trouble when they start thinkin' they've made it to where they are on their virtues alone.
Lots of other folks are just as talented and capable as you are, they just haven't had your luck/connections.
If you've done all right, you pay that shit forward.

I don't fault anybody for fortune if it keeps them solvent.
The trick is to be honest about it, I think - sure, I'm capable and hardworking, but that's absolutely not the whole story.
I've had support, I've been in the right place, and I've had a few very well-timed lucky breaks.

You got er - you can measure just about anything, but what metrics do you want to track, and which ones are you going to emphasize?

Exactly - a reactionary incident response/'justice' system is highly visible, and, to many, therefore material and effective - but it necessarily requires Bad Things to respond to, to show that it's 'working'.
We hold on to the systems that actually promote suffering because they're more measurable.

Iām rather of the opinion that somebody who decides that theyāre inherently righteous and that that overrides and justifies whatever depraved means they see fit to employ is bad fucking news.
What you /do/ is who you are, not how you sell yourself.

If ever you needed proof that you donāt get morality or even basic human decency by default with a membership in the imaginary friends club, boy howdy, Republicans be tripping over themselves to make it abundantly clear that theyāll smile while they cut your throat and wish you a blessed day.

"Adult children seem increasingly likely to publicly, even righteously, cut off contact with a parent" is trying so hard to be inflammatory, but it's fucking ludicrous.
It's giving "Don't embarrass me in front of my friends - you'd better shut the fuck up about my bad behaviour."

how badly do you, as someone in your thirties, need to be in therapy, if you are arguing that itās altogether too much to expect parents to raise their children with love and support, and not subject them to āemotional, physical or sexual abuseā.
girl, blink twice if you need help!

oh, no, this author was born in the 90ās - this strawman is coming from inside the house!
imagine writing ā[parents must even] hold themselves accountable for our mental health and happiness well into our adult yearsā and thinking itās a banger.
childhood trauma - famously NEVER comes back around.

Iām almost more coming at it from a place of - great, if nothing matters because weāre all going to die, you knobheads are gonna stop fussing over trans people, right?
Divest yourself of excess wealth, go lay in a field, dance naked around a bonfire. Nothing matters, weāre all gonna die.
