If I’d rebooted this blog 3-4 years ago, I would not even have had a “War” category (if it’d had categories then). Now it’s one I post in frequently.
And that’s because war is coming. It’s already here, really. We just don’t acknowledge it yet. Now’s the time to forestall it worsening or if those dogs must be fully unleashed, to make it the least bad possible war.
But mostly, we’re doing nothing. And that pains me.

M4 ‘eye’ receptors are believed to be exclusive to the eye. Their activation causes constriction of the pupil and accommodation for near vision. Transduction is via G-proteins and a decrease in the second messenger cAMP through inhibition of adenylyl cyclase.

The definitive Retail Hell playlist.
I like eight of those songs, though none of them I’d want to hear 20 times a day while working retail.
Listening to Covidians whinge just isn’t fun anymore. They remind me of those yappy little mutts that people drag around everywhere. You can’t for reasons of social decorum just punt those canine carbuncles into the sun, but instead are forced to endure their yipping despite nothing of value lost if the yapper in question were to be flattened by a tractor-trailer.
Though I don’t wish this fate on the Covidians, they are equally annoying when I encounter them. Yip-yap, shut ya trap.

I’m not bothered by that much, really, but it’s disturbing to see Russian troops passing the charred and dismembered bodies of their dead comrades, heading into another pointless, doomed meat wave assault where all or nearly all of them will be killed for absolutely nothing.
To Russia, those people aren’t worth even as much as a $500 drone. Something is deeply wrong in the Russian soul. Deeply, deeply wrong.

She looks great. Nice outfit. It’s amazing how just not being fat makes anyone 900x hotter no matter their age.
With apologies to Scarface, we should be laying down Hellfires non-stop till their Russian and DPRK asses drop. Of course, Europe itself should be doing more about this. But they won’t. We need to, but also won’t.
Damn, WWIII comin’ and we’re just…letting it.
Yes, because cold and winter suckkkkkkkkkkksssssssssssssssss.
Dang, weird to think (ceteris paribus) I would’ve been tall in 1900. I’m 172.7cm, 5’8″. I’m not insecure about my height in any way, but some women sure are. Well, their loss.
Anyway, strange to think I woulda been considered tall back then. The only time I’ve towered above a crowd is in China back in 2005. (And that felt odd, as I hate standing out in general.)
This is a Fox News ratfuck designed to suppress turnout among Latino Dems. There’ll be tons of this the closer we get to the election.
It’s an interesting inversion of cultural understanding that in the original Christian ideology women were seen as inherently corrupted/evil (Eve in the Garden) and now that’s flipped under feminism/liberalism to the idea that men are inherently evil and women are the angelic beings.
No comments other than it has occurred and that is pretty remarkable.
My girlfriend has gotten bigger and I don’t know how to bring it up.
Don’t tiptoe around it. There’s absolutely no reason we should kowtow to the Fat Acceptance movement clowns who say it’s wrong to lose attraction to a partner because they start ballooning to the size of Arcturus.
Attraction (contra Gen Z and modern feminism) is natural and so is losing it when someone becomes something through their own will (or lack of it) that you did not sign up for. That women should never be criticized for anything related to their appearance when in a relationship is also insane. Men are afforded no such grace.
So, talk to her about it. If she reacts badly, end it. That’s really all you can do.
