Got pulled over on the way home.

Cop took a look at me, said "You look like shit.  Go home & get some sleep."

TGRR,
Escaped ticket by looking like the walking dead.

Somehow this lacks the normal, euphoric "HA HAAAAA I DODGED A TICKET!" feeling.  :x

Plant is on fire and sinking into the swamp.  We don't even have a swamp.  Fired another drunk-ass employee.  Boss has locked himself in his office and won't come out.  I have memorized three Russian phrases loaded with obscenity, and I scream them into my phone when anyone calls me.

This is truly the best of all possible worlds.

Can we get the story when it's all over, or is this one of those things where forum posts could end up in a court of law?

It's the first one, only it never ends.

Material science is sexy as shit, but it's bad for you.

It's amazing what getting female visitors can do to a teenage kid's self-confidence. Even when they end up in bed together, or maybe especially, because they told me how happy they were I didn't try to join them like all the sleazy guys do. Just drinking and smoking cigarettes and walking around ànd talking about various stuff. These are the sorts of moments I live for. Says drunk Lenin

:) You're a good kid. i like you.

This is my favourite black nerd. I met him and he mah FB friend. I saw him before he got famous and his own telly show.

Cain

Reading a new book on Gladio.

Interesting, but not sure how much I can agree with all of it.  The author has definitely connected a wealth of material...but I prefer a bit more detail in my detail.  This gives a more general overview of events, which would require someone of a sceptical frame of mind (ie; myself) to do further research.  When compared with, say, The Political Uses of Terrorism in Italy, which involves using court proceedings and detailed, multiple witness accounts, forensic evidence, memos and a wealth of citations besides...it looks a bit lazy.

It's not, I understand the subject is an especially hard one due to the breadth of the operation, the secrecy, the passage of time and indeed the multiple languages one needs to parse all the relevant information.  But that's my preference - more detailed information, always.

Aside from that, the author does an excellent job of situating Gladio within a larger context of global events which include the American entry into Vietnam, "the Enterprise" and the virulent right wing extremism of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under Kennedy.  He's also promising more information on Bulgarian drug-trafficking and post-Cold War Gladio structures...which I will be interested to see, assuming they stand up to scrutiny.

In looking for resources to explain to my husband how to respond appropriately to a spouse with serious depression, I found this:

Read the comments if you want to stab something.

Jesus.

OH NOES, 30 MINUTE ARGUMENT! RUN AWAY FROM YOUR ILL SIGNIFICANT OTHER.

Brought to you by the same jerkoffs who leave their severely, possibly terminally disease ridden SO's to rot alone.

BOO HOO HOO, I DONT LIKE SICK PEOPLE, WHY MEEEE?

people like that should be launched directly into the sun.

Hmmm, I'm of mixed feelings on the whole "stand by your man" principle.

If staying together will lead to a healthier situation, stay. If leaving will lead to a healthier situation, go.

Easier to say than to do.

Yep. For both people, not just the one who is ill.

And how fast you should decide, in my opinion, depends a lot on how long you've been in the relationship. Wife goes wacky on you after 21 years? Give it a few to see if you can work through it. Wife starts treating you like shit after a year? BAIL.

I'm not so much concerned with the length of the relationship as the effort the depressed party is putting into getting better. If they're refusing treatment and being a giant obstructionist pain in the ass, yeah, going may be the best bet. If they're trying and you just can't deal with the fact that they're temporarily at a reduced capacity to be human, that's kinda dickish. The idea that it's 50/50 all the time is dangerous for everyone, there are going to be times when one person is putting more in than the other because sick/tired/OMGWORK/whatever and it's more important for the relationship overall to average out to equal than for it to be constant (IMO).

That too, I'm just saying, if someone's been a loving partner for 20 years you might reasonably give them a couple of years to work their shit out if they freak out on you alla sudden, whereas if you've only been with them for a couple of years it's pretty much sheer idiocy to put up with being treated like an asshole for longer than you've even known them.
