Open Bar: Curbside Pickup Only

[Dimocritus]

Been a hermit for like 6 years. Convince myself that people can't possibly be as stupid as I've been assuming, so I finally start planning to leave the house. Election happens. Back into my cave.

Problem spotted. 

That's what I get for feeling optimistic for just one second

Optimism is a disease.

Unfortunately, so is dread

That's just the back of your mind updating the front of your mind.

I'm always running the latest version, and it updates daily. Never any cool new features, just dread, horror, and ads.

I'm not surprised, but I am horrified.

I have been mentally preparing myself for this for months.

I feel bad for Ukraine, though.

Poland standing on high alert that they will be invaded for the last three months are now treating it as an inevitability, war in Europe is what trump wants: not because he is in bed with Putin, but because a weak EU is good for the US in his mind

I have never understood the idea that it is somehow good for your trade partners to be weak.

[chaotic neutral observer]

I have a confession to make.

I may play chaotic neutral on the internet, but that's just an act, or, at best, an ideal.
My natural disposition is lawful evil.

I just watched the Hegseth confirmation hearings and now I want bad things to happen to my country.

Don't worry, they will.

[Chelagoras The Boulder]

i would say that bad things happening to this country is as reliable as the seasons, but with climate change doing what it do....

My mom's conservatorship hearing was this week. They appointed a Guardian ad litum, and I managed to navigate the attendant family drama smelling like roses. Calling it a win.

Well, now Elon Musk is giving Nazi salutes in public, and I feel like I should be out there throwing a brick at something.
