I totally get where you’re coming from but wanted to put the counterpoint, as obvious as it was.

She was caring for those who nobody else could for at that time, and to generally good effect day to day.

I’ve worked in group homes and know of the challenges you face in serving those who aren’t all that stable.

Just would never have advocated for that solution for anyone really. All that is said with historical knowledge and such.

Yours was a good post.

She was trying her best with that she had and knew at the time, even if she overreacted in the end, to terrible effect.

And forced a sane but disruptive man through a disabling procedure?

No. She went way the hell too far so she could protect her little kingdom and stay in power. She was not concerned with helping her charges improve their lot in life.

Inspired by Michelle Bachmann.

I disagreed with the summary. Are we allowed to discuss, or just insult? Don’t care, not worth the time.

Nobody proved shit. I disagreed with you and the article. (Okay, you’re someone else.)

I’ll admit I’m having a terrible day while sick at work but this is NOT worth the energy. I’m not defending the slimy woman. But I am blocking you for the needless and extended insults.

And so the district that she had before, which is now a different district, because the borders have moved, and is less likely to elect her.

This is a FUCKING STUPID ARGUMENT. It doesn’t matter whether I’m right or you are. It’s fucking semantics. The district that elected her no longer exists. Another one does now that contains a lot of the same people.

I do block them, but I will still call it out when I see it.

Go the fuck away, fascist.

Yes, but the warning was included in the subject. Also there’s no more obvious twist than that.

Knights of the Old Republic.

I’d heard for many years how amazing they were, so I finally tried them.

Each game has a major plot twist. Both are obvious enough but if you google anything the spoiler in the first game is ruined.

The one in the second I was assured was a better game but apparently only if you download the unofficial patch that finishes the game, and it still can’t save the game from the obvious fucking fact you’ve been carrying around the BBEG since the goddamned beginning while everyone tried to pretend otherwise.

People want remakes of these games primarily for nostalgia, and they do not hold up.

She didn’t flee her district, the district lines were redrawn.

Don’t give anyone ideas.

“Johnny Dangerously” came to mind.

Once.

Doctors tend to not take that oath any longer. Too much of what they do constitutes ‘doing harm’, seriously.

Thank you! This last one was really a leap of faith, someone I barely knew at all who needed a place to stay. We’ve all been lucky!

A few times I’ve been there for friends and helped them through rough times just by being someone to talk to.

But I also helped my best friend and roommate by paying most of the bills while he developed his IT/engineering skills. He’s got a good career now but struggled for a few years.

Then I took someone in a couple months ago and she’s staying in my attic now. That’s going well, my wife and I get along great with her. Hopefully it’ll all turn out well.

She. The Republican bully was the woman.

There were three women who were best friends, took their breaks together, etc. And in the Christmas season they wore matching knit sweaters and would walk down the hall side by side so it would read “Ho! Ho! Ho!”

But one day when I was leaving the break room, they approached… and one was out sick. Before I could stop myself I asked “Where’s the other Ho?”

Might’ve gotten a visit to HR from it if I hadn’t looked so shocked at myself.

And what’s the word in German that means everything you just wrote?

I’ve done a lot of self-forgiveness in recent years, so a lot of the simpler and sillier ones I don’t think of as embarrassing anymore.

Could be the time I flipped a guy off after he cut me off and I missed a light. He saw me in his mirror and started freaking out and swerving, almost hit a curb.

I didn’t mean to ruin his day. Just letting off steam.

Either that or the time I drove on the shoulder to avoid a car stopped in the middle of the road. When I merged back she had started to move and we collided. Totally my fault.

I only realized later that due to her age, location, and stickers on her car from a nearby Catholic University that I’d probably hit a nun.
