    the paul pelosi attack was pretty bad. fractured his skull with a hammer. was intending to hold him hostage and wait for the congresswoman

    True.  I'm just wondering how far it will continue to escalate.  Probably forever, these Rs have shown time and time again that they have no souls, I don't know why I'm expecting them to change.

    2020 US Election

    The police say that after losing his race by a landslide in November — he received 26 percent of the vote — and refusing to concede, Mr. Peña organized shootings at the homes of prominent Democrats, including two who certified the election results.

    Yet powerful party leaders in New Mexico not only gave the first-time candidate, Solomon Peña, 39, full-throated endorsements, they also opened their checkbooks to fund his race for a state legislative seat in central Albuquerque long held by Democrats. Some knew about his prison record but said they felt that he had turned his life around. Local and state authorities now say they are investigating whether drug money helped fund his campaign.

    It's only a matter of time before one of these nutballs actually seriously hurts or kills a Democratic politician (or a family member of one).  Will that be enough for the whackjob Rs, or those who at least have a little conscience left, to stop this "win at any cost" bullshit?

    How does the World view America these days?

    According to Faux News:

    Quote

    The scuffle happened between Reps-elect Mike Rogers, R-Ala., and Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., after the 14th House speaker vote failed.

    Gaetz was discussing with Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., the possibility of backing him in the next vote and appeared to mouth the word "committee."

    Gaetz is currently on the House Armed Services Committee, which is chaired by Rogers.

    McCarthy appeared to agree and returned to his seat. Rogers, having witnessed the interaction, then walked up to Gaetz’s row and made a move toward him.

    Rep. Richard Hudson, R-N.C., intervened and physically restrained Rogers, pulling him back by his shoulders in full view of C-SPAN’s cameras.

    Rogers could then be seen appearing to yell: "I won’t forget this!"

    Apparently, we're in 8th grade again.

    The bunch of reps that are blocking McCarthy, like Matt Gaetz and Scott Perry, make me believe they demand some kind of immunity because of some legal issues they might be dealing with. There’s no talk about this in the media, as far as im aware of, but i dont believe for a second that whats out in public is a good representation of what is actually taking place behind closed doors. In the media its about power. But to me it starts to make way more sense if a bunch of these idiots are actually trying anything to get out of a bunch of investigations. 

    I heard an interview this morning on WNYC with some house Republican (forget who), and he basically said that the people holding this up are angling for committee assignments (and this is not the time to do that sort of thing) and/or just interested in generating chaos.  Lol.

    Honestly, this is what they fucking get when their whole ideology (conservatism) is based on selfishness.  They can't even work together for anything without saying, "what's in it for me?".

    LEGO Appreciation Thread

    in General Banter

    Just finished the Titanic. Highly recommended. Some parts were a bit repetitive and tedious, but they do a good job of spacing out those parts, which are unavoidable in a set like this.

    It's hard to appreciate the scale without seeing it in person. Lego says it's 1.35 m long and 14 kg (4' 5" and 31 lb.).

    Divorce

    in General Banter

    Posted

    It's expensive for Cleveland for sure, but that's because it's a 3 month lease, fully furnished with covered parking in a doorman building within walking distance of the clinic.  Longer leases are cheaper.

    Best of luck with your search!

    Just an update.  I've started to spearhead everything (which is what I didn't want to have to do).  I'm trying to get the stuff with the lawyer done, i'm meeting with realtors on the house - trying to push this thing along.  So not only does she get her divorce she wants but I'm doing all the work.  It is what it is.  I'd rather get all of this figured out sooner than later.  If she wants to be lax on this and delay things that's on her.  I want to start moving on in my life.  I'm starting to develop my plans.  I will live in my house until the house is sold and closed on, then I will move in with my pops just long enough to find an apartment in the same area of town.  My dad lives by the lake, (Lake Erie) here in Cleveland.  It's super beautiful and one of my favorite things to do is take hikes down along the water (listening to tunes of course) and go to the park.  So I think i'll look for a 2 bedroom apartment in this area, it'll be close to family, close the the city, and can use one of the bedrooms for office.  

    I was thinking about staying with my dad for a few months before but dropping some shit off there I realized that would be impossible at this age.  I'm a 35 year old man and he yelled at me for some dumb shit already like I was 12 years old.  After having my own house and domain for so many years I can't be under his roof for any longer than needed.  But i'm still really lucky to have his place for the transition - not everybody has that luxury in this situation.

    It is tempting to set up a profile on dating apps and start looking around.  I know this unwise though.  Way too much shit going on to even consider starting something new.  I'll have a lot of time to mess around with that stuff when i'm finally settled after all of this chaos.  I won't lie though I love having a partner in life, i think life is far better when shared, i've always been that way - so i'll just have to buckle down and get through the next couple months the best I can.

    I think you won't regret taking the initiative and speeding things along.  I think you'll look back on that and be proud of yourself that you were able to do that.

    I didn't know you were from NE Ohio.  I'm originally from the Youngstown area but have been traveling to Cleveland a lot the past month or so because my dad is at the Cleveland Clinic recovering from a lung transplant.  Not sure where you're looking for apartments, but we got my mom a temporary apartment near the clinic for $2500 a month (1 bedroom, fully furnished, washer/dryer, parking & utilities included).  The building is really nice, although the neighborhood is probably not close to what you're looking for.

    I wish I was better at math, it would make me much more valuable at my job.  Don't get me wrong, I bring a lot to the table (niche measurement scientist), but I have a gigantic dataset from a recent study and I'm having to rely on unreliable data scientists to process everything when I just want to get in there and do the dirty work myself, but lack the skills.

    I bought myself Tukey's Exploratory Data Analysis book for Xmas and am going to try to learn as much as I can.

    The fact is though to me it will not be a "done deal" until the papers are signed and the divorce is final.  It's not humanly possible for me to squash all hope on this.  Like I said above I can't change how my heart feels.  The only thing I can do is try to be as realistic as possible, and try to protect myself as much as possible.

    Seems like the minute she told you she wants a divorce was the point where it was a "done deal", signing the papers is just a formality.  It's the intent and the feelings that make the divorce, not some signatures on a paper.

    Like others have said, even if she does decide to come back and give it a try on her own, there's tons of baggage and a huge rift there.  Best to already consider it a done deal and, like others have said, consider the rest as sort of a business transaction (as hard as that may be).
