America gets a cold, the world gets the flu.
And that is just the economic impact.

They should have voted then, or if they did vote, vote a different way. America is going to get the government they deserve.

What the fuck is with all the cans? Not that I have a problem but the lack of beans is disorienting.

Woooosh! I, Loomi, wave my magic wand for you and there are no more men over 6 feet.

They forced settlers out of Gaza like 15 years ago as a peace measure. Fat good it did them

My last colonoscopy so like 2 years old.
Which begs the question, why haven’t you had your colonoscopy? You are too old to not have had one and jello in an acceptable color is on the okay foods list.
Also barf

Like did we believe in dinosaurs in the 1980s? Yes. Yes we did. Was our dinosaur theory up to today’s current science, no. But we knew dinosaurs existed.

Your issue is not that you are a virgin, it’s that you are a loser. Just get a fucking passport and go to Las Vegas or Reno and punch your ticket. You live right above these cities and there is a lot to do there for non sex fun. But noooooooo you can’t figure out how to buy an airplane ticket and reserve a hotel room. There is something called online travel websites. Try those and stop whining on the internet. Jesus….
- Comment on What I thought some abbreviations/emoticons meant vs what they actually meant 6 months ago:
So much hate
(Until I figured out this acronym a couple years back, the internet was a much angrier place for me. )
- Comment on Is there any significance to people using emojis that match their skin tone? 6 months ago:
Same same
emoji became a thing because the Japanese wanted pictures aka kanji style representation of the ascii expressions. In any regards OG skin tone was average Japanese
- Comment on Is there any significance to people using emojis that match their skin tone? 6 months ago:
Also the first gen iPhone emoji were a Japanese add on pack, iirc a keyboard addition. I had to install this add on on my iphone3g while I lived in Japan. Those emoji had average Japanese skin which white people just assumed was white. Only after those optional emoji got popular did apple make it standard, android copied, then people got worried about range of skin tone seeing as the Unicode was a global standard.
- Comment on Is there any significance to people using emojis that match their skin tone? 6 months ago:
Historically the original emojis were ascii so the symbol had the color of text on the electronic device where typed

¯_(ツ)_/¯

And so on

- Comment on How can the Oregon government make drugs illegal again with no public comment periods or voter input at all? 8 months ago:
The jailing has the street level appearance of fewer homeless on the street since they move to the jail for a bit. So while it’s going to cost the tax payer, the tax payer is going think “hey cool the homeless encampment is gone! Progress!”
Drug addiction and homelessness are really insidious problems.

I don’t disagree with you. Antibiotic overuse is a real problem. I’ve had surgeries without needing antibiotics afterwards. I try very hard not to rely on antibiotics but have allergies and shitty sinuses. I had an on and off sinus infection I couldn’t clear for something like 9 months. Used every trick in the book and I’d think I’d finally cleared it all, but no.
Happy that you seem more healthy overall than me. Good fortune for you.
- Comment on [deleted] 8 months ago:
As infrequently as possible. Maybe a year ago last time for a sinus infection I couldn’t clear on my own.
- Comment on [deleted] 8 months ago:
Probably until my first paper cut and infection after all the antibiotic starts to expire, it’s likely game over some time soon after.
