@ryanhoulihan What kills me is that, end of day, I am so tired, and I have so very little free time to do what I want, that friendships have become *obligations* and I resent doing the right thing - aka meeting people half way and doing things they like, because I am a decent person and that's the right thing to do.

It also makes me just want to avoid having to do that at all, making that kind of choice. So it's just better not to have many good friends?

That sounds fucked.

I hate this all.

I am confused why anyone thinks that any business, or any government supported by business, is even a little bit concerned by stopping at 1.5c or 2c or any c at all?

What in your experience thinks they will start taking any of it seriously, at any point? The point is to stop you from cutting their throats in the night a little while longer by then changing the target again.

There is no plan to slow down.

There is no government that will force it.

@philipncohen Christian Nationalist is right there in his bio, friend.

@old_hippie @haubles I stopped treating them as a credible source of news somewhere around the invasion of Iraq, because of that and the fact there is no union busting they won't cheerlead.

@fu I don't know.

I think, sort of, the point of Christianity is that no matter how wretched you are, you still get your chance at salvation if you want it.

It is on brand for a priest.

Very bad optics though yikes.

@rchusid They DNC will be blaming Berniebros for its failures until the bones of Berniebros are dust.

Possibly later.

@TheBierFrau It's a sign of our beautiful times that advertising ruined, and made near completely useless:

1. Answering telephone calls.
2. Voicemail
3. Text messages
4. E-Mail

@fu I think my life would be vastly improved by falling in love with a sport, I just haven't found the one for me.

@fu Cricket, unfortunately, looks to me to be about as boring as baseball and soccer and whatever.

I don't understand how people derive entertainment from this, but I am happy they are able to.

@feditips I imagine local timelines are actually fun on the smaller servers, instead of an exercise in watching incompetent people promote pointless businesses.

It's hilarious to watch the American spam turn into Asian spam turn into Euro spam as the day progresses.

@MissingThePt A picture that appeals to all Limeys.

Eid Mubarak to my Muslim friends.

@thomasfuchs If only the government had the means to easily and effectively change that.

@thomasfuchs Counterpoint: Shame on every public service for relying on big business to transmit vital information.

Double shame on people like you and me for not make government responsible.

@Mrfunkedude It's arrow-oriented, not a pyramid scheme.
