I feel like the current establishment wouldn’t allow an FDR-style candidate to succeed, they’re making too much money from protecting the status quo.

But I’ll still grudgingly support them if Trump is the other option. I’ll vote progressive in my local elections, but as long as we still have a first-to-the-post election process, it’s always the lesser of two evils.

Isn’t it the case that whoever wins this one, they’ll be the oldest president in US history? Gross.

Watching a playthrough of the God of War franchise: “who’s this Kratos guy, he seems like a bad-ass…”

Returns home, founds a new religion: “No, see, Ares IS cool and all, but I’m telling you, someone’s going to come along and beat his ass…”

Fourth degree criminal mischief… it’s a slap on the wrist. If someone had beheaded an effigy of Jesus, they’d be throwing the whole entire book at them. Rules for thee but not for me…

Happy weekend, my fellow Risa degenerates!

When someone tells you who they are, you should listen.

Looks fun to me!

I read that the reason dogs don’t like the vacuum, is that it looks like it’s yanking you around against your will, which upsets the sense of who’s in charge.

The suggestion was that in order to put your dog’s mind at ease, you should drag your vacuum into the living room, loom menacingly over it, and give it a good yelling-at… and that this would somehow make your dog more calm around it.

Personally, I think it would make the dog LESS calm, considering that not only does it have to endure the vacuum, but that there’s also some complex psychological drama between mom and the Electrolux, which Poochie can see but not understand.

I hated him in the first couple of episodes too; but when TNG started, I felt like everything was overly dramatic. Picard bellowing out heavy-handed soliloquies, Worf growling and gnashing his teeth, Riker swaggering around pretending to be Kirk from the old days… things settle down pretty quickly though, and the characters become less two-dimensional.

As for Q specifically, he’s not around a whole lot, but he makes an appearance or two per season maybe. He ends up more curious about humanity than being adversarial against humanity, but he still sometimes just throws a monkey-wrench into everything for his own amusement or to test a theory, once in a while.

Stick with it, it’s a really good show.
