Or Kill Me / Re: A warning.
Last post by altered - February 09, 2025, 04:16:48 AMIn situations like this, apathy is acquiescence.
I'm not going to go on some huge thing about how you're an evil person. We both know you've done good things, it's why I even bothered pushing back on this in the first place. It's a waste of our collective time to start yet another pointless unresolvable beef just to try and get my fucking licks in on someone who I respect.
Just, I'm here in bed physically feeling the fever go down after I, no joke, took a toothpick and actually ripped open a huge swath of my gums to drain the infection. I don't know how long I have until it's too late and it's all over forever. I never really, properly had a chance? I have been condemned by disability, illness, bad luck and people who don't get how precarity works and horrible timing, quite possibly the worst time for someone Like Me to be alive. And I am one of the lucky ones. And that's just, like... you don't care anymore.
I'm not attempting to change your mind and make you care here, either. Like I said, it's a waste of time, and even if there weren't other problems we both need to focus on, you have made it clear many a time your stubbornness is legendary, and you see it (and I generally, usually agree) as an asset. Just explaining my perspective: even if it's not what you MEAN, what, to me, it seems that you're saying, is that I and everyone else in my position or worse just isn't worth it. And that fucking sucks and I really have to hope you are all alone on this one. I know you aren't, but ... I have to hope. Because otherwise there will be a lot of dead bodies that deserved better that far too many people decided weren't worth the trouble. Histories, modes of living, stories, communal understandings, full epistemologies, will be lost forever, the total death and erasure of small worlds, and people deciding: yeah, that's whatever. Which maybe means that I will be one of the last people who believe in truly fighting for better things. A grim thought.
And that's all I have to say.

Aneristic Illusions / Re: The Republicult™ On Parade
Last post by Abbot Mythos - February 09, 2025, 03:11:23 AMReading this article got me thinking:
NIH chops support for some medical research costs
Is there any R&D money in the NIH budget for future spinal column replacement surgery? I mean, given the critical shortage of functional spines among the Disloyal Opposition Party's kleptocracy, that alone should be reason enough to declare a national medical emergency. (I am, of course, referring to their party's numerous, spineless, opportunistic, elected officials.)
Now, I know lumbar disk replacement is already a thing, but what about the future availability of completely artificial spinal columns for surgical implantation? I write this because I don't believe enough suitable spinal columns for transplants can be obtained from human donor cadavers to ever fulfill the actual need. Therefore, there should be R&D money put into cloning spinal columns, and 3D printing spinal columns as well.
I guess I'm just going to have to send another round of emails to my two (2) Disloyal Opposition Party elected officials in congress, to bring this specific issue to their attention. And, I think I'm going to rather enjoy writing these particular emails.

Aneristic Illusions / Re: Hard Lessons to be Learned...
Last post by Bruno - February 08, 2025, 08:59:04 PMQuote from: Pergamos on January 16, 2025, 05:28:56 PMI honestly hope they deny aid to California, because Newsom has suggested that doing so would lead to California denying the fed payment of taxes. I'd definitely like to see California keep that money and use it to fight fires.
How would that work?
Does the state government of California pay taxes to the federal government?
There's no way they could make the citizens of the state pay their federal income tax to the state and then... I'm not even sure what the next stage of that plan would be. Arresting federal agents attempting to collect taxes?

Aneristic Illusions / Re: No, It's Not an Article On...
Last post by Abbot Mythos - February 08, 2025, 12:52:17 PMI learned a new word this morning.
'It's horrible': Hooters plots British 'breastaurant' expansion via Newcastle
Having never heard the word before, out of curiosity, I googled "breastaurant" to see if it was a documented and recognized part of the 'Merican vocabulary. Now, I did not find any dictionary entries, but I did find one on Wikipedia. My biggest surprise, however, was seeing a map appear as part of my search results that clearly marked five (5) "breastaurants" within a few minutes drive of my house.
I really did need a good laugh this morning.

Aneristic Illusions / Re: The Resistance 2.0!
Last post by Abbot Mythos - February 08, 2025, 03:23:03 AMThis is something I sincerely hope the Resistance 2.0 quickly organizes around, and rises up against:
Trump to create religious office in White House, target 'anti-Christian bias'
I, and I believe most of you here, want freedom from their hypocritical religion, not a Christofascist theocracy running this country's government. (Obviously, I wouldn't be here on this forum if I did.)
This intrusion on my life makes my blood boil. Needless to say, my elected representatives will be receiving some of my more blunt emails concerning this particular outrage.
