  1. crazy twists and turns which lead to... a delay. seemingly. wouldn't be surprised if they start positioning someone else to take Kavanaugh's place now Exactly, yeah...I try to keep up on international affairs but I'm no expert, but my impressions are that Iran don't take well to the threats and would be much more likely to escalate things, either directly or indirectly, quickly. They're likely feeling pretty attacked lately with multiple pressures being put on them economically from the outside, from their own people, etc., and they just strike me as possibly just going 'fuck it' and start dropping bombs. It may all just be the impression I'm getting and they're just talking some trash like Trump/NK/most countries are wont to do at various times. and yet it's the saudis who did 9-11. there's hardliners in iran and they have a lot of power. what's interesting is the lifting of sanctions brought the internet.. instagram etc.. and instagram is huge in iran now and things were changing.. people, young people, got a taste of the west and now that's being rolled back because cheeto mcdickface pulled out of the iran deal. the west was gonna do it's thing w/the "Kill them w/kindness" and use the western freedom as a weapon to eat away at the power of the hardliners.. now that's been undone. as for proxy wars.. the USA is doing that as well... Iran is certainly neck deep in some interventions via jihadists in syria but that whole things is a fucking shit show of epic proportions. and then there's yemen. largest humanitarian crisis because of USA letting saudi bomb children w/weapons they bought from USA contractors.. hat will trump admin do? who knows.. bolton has been wanting to invade since he could use a toilet on his own and has said things like "by 2019 we'll be celebrating in tehran!". fuck that wingnut hawk. he should choke on his own mustache and die. btw just watched an interesting 2 part frontline series on iran.. worth a gander. https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/film/our-man-in-tehran/ I watched part one but haven't watched part 2 yet, a bit of where i'm getting my (small amounts of) info. good doc so far, as usual with Frontline. more up-to-date perspective and jabs back nd forth has been a little under the radar so far over the past weeks... not gonna happen. they're gonna ram that shitbag through. might delay if someone other than that flake fuck ask for an investigation. but i doubt it. those republicans on the committee don't care. lindsey graham told the assault survivor who confronted him to "go to the cops" and turned his back and walked off. grassley is as tone deaf as anyone. needs to wither up and die in the dirt.

  6. that sucks and is annoying as fuck and needlessly stressful. yesterday had my dog at the vet for ultrasound (has liver issue and gallbladder) and had to take him back today to do a test. so, 730 this morning about half mile from my house i'm behind a car and can't see far ahead down the road. big truck next to me. suddenly BIG rock.. bounces under my car loudly.. 20 seconds later i get the warning lights "STOP CAR - OIL PRESSURE" so i manage to limp into the shop which is fortunately on my way.. all the time hoping my engine doesn't seize.. made it.. so i grab up the dog and whatever junk in the car i need and get a Lyft to the vet.. drop off dog. get lyft back home.. get call from the shop w/quote of $590 for new oil pan and clean up of underside of car which is covered in oil. they might be able to finish it today. hope so because i work all weekend. yay. so hopefully it's done before i need to go pick up my dog which is the far south side of town. i live in north portland so i have to drive through/around the city on friday afternoon in middle of traffic later to pick up Mr fantastic the wonder dog. if it's not done today then i lyft to get the dog.. lyft home.. bike to work tomorrow and sunday. on wednesday next week i'm having a medical procedure, cardiac ablation, where they go in through the femoral arteries with tiny cameras and tools and zap the little nodes inside the heart w/high freq radio waves or ultra cold freezing balloon thing.. so both my parents will be in town all week (they're divorced but act like adults) and my boss will watch my dog while i'm in hospital that day. all things considered it could be a lot more complicated or worse. but the last 12 or so months has been the universe saying "ah.. let's fuck w/this guy a while" or whatever asshole is controlling the simulation is mucking around w/stuff because bored and wants to see what happens.
  7. i stayed home on acid listening to frank zappa albums once. didn't post about it because the WWW didn't exist. got no upvotes.
  8. the across the street neighbor is getting his house painted the exact same color as the neighbor 2 houses down from me. this isn't a problem so much as it's fucking bewildering why this pastel light green color should be on 2 houses so close to one another and what the across the street neighbor is even thinking about doing that?
  9. This was the most depressing thing for me. To realize beyond a shadow of a doubt that a large portion of the population is fucktarded beyond redemption. To have to interact with even one is extremely unfortunate. polarized extremes... it'd be nice if we could just go half way to socialism and maybe most people would be happy and we'd all admit to ourselves, even those people who were unhappy, that this is the best america can do.. then the robots will take over and kill us for sport.
  10. https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/a23480509/donald-trump-press-conference-accusers-paid-off-george-washington/ he's so wackado
  11. total FWP peeve no matter how many times i tell my boss that on a mac.. if you need to get a window (like mail or safari) out of your way you can just "command h" to hide the app.. he still just doesn't get it and after every time he uses the work computer i sit down to 10 windows dragged all over the place to be half off the screen etc. it makes me a little nuts.
  12. Lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. Yeah. Consolidation of wealth and control of the rules that regulate the economy. Unlimited campaign contributions through soft money or “dark” money. Also those damn video games and kids not pulling up their pants. /s Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. there's a myriad of things that got us here. manipulation and messaging and poorly educated people unaware of such. media consolidation. also, emotional button pushing and religion. single issue voters. trolling/pwning the libtards etc.. naitonalism, white supremacy, military industrial complex, racist patriarchy.. you name it.. it's all in the soup.
  15. still hoping he dies from some kind of anal fissure while on the toilet. what a fucktard.. "they're laughing with me... i'm pretty cool.. they like me.." they're laughing at you you fucking huckster used car salesman piece of trash
  16. i enjoy Flatland. some bits more than others but there's some good jams there and nice vibe. makes good listening at work and Strays is a fucking tune! when the synth choir comes in it's a throwback feel to the 90s late night dance floor moments for me.
  17. you may be right! dougie jones... fuck. i've delayed re-watching season 3 a couple times. i think it would be too bewildering just now. need a detox from reality them segue into lynch reality.
  18. seems like he already has the answers to those 6 questions in the email he sent. kavanaugh's whole fucking high school class is gonna get subpoena'd he either bows out or the GOP forges ahead. this shit is too much. i should make a sample library instead of paying attention
  19. this shit is gonna get crazy. that entry of his in the yearbook is a full page ad he put together. wtf. lunacy.
  20. if not for the meme's/funnies i'd have to quit the internet.
