I drink so that I don't need to recognize the mundanity and purposeless of my life and my mortality. I feel this is a common ground that all civilizations can use to come together in harmony one day.

I want to know what part of the brain has to be damaged--and to what degree it must be damaged--to understand how anyone could look at Donald Trump's performance yesterday and think this.

Tias posted:Bang on. Lovecraft was a weirdo, but he actually changed his opinions upon learning facts that challenged his anachronism - Freep just digs a bigger nazi cave. Well, I wouldn't go that far. He was starting to change his opinions around the time he got terminally sick and died, but he wasn't there yet. Perhaps if he'd been able to actually live another 10 years he'd have actually fully renounced it all.

Yeah the big thing is he was the sort of dude who legitimately believed there was a scientific basis behind the whole race thing and would be persuaded by changing viewpoints on that front. Would that freepers were that way.

Stockholm syndrome. As for brash New Yorkers, their thing is really "not beating about the bush" rather than "rambling on incoherently forever." Unless, of course, you are talking about the sort of New Yorker that lives in their supermarket trolley/trash bag collection.

The problem is that this assumes that Trump's normal way of speaking is ordinary, when in fact he always talks like he's making GBS threads his pants.

To be fair, it isn't really making that assumption. If he used slightly softer language and everybody wasn't already aware of his politics I don't think saying "uh, that's just how Trump talks" is a controversial statement. Whether the way he talks is coherent or reasonable is a different question.

Mr.Unique-Name posted:Man, it would be sweet if there was a "drug awareness class" that was a basically "how to do drugs primer" like that guy seems to think or hope (I seriously can't tell if that's being sarcastic and/or negative or sincere). We called them DARE classes where the local cops taught us even being in the same room with narcotics would get you locked up or leave you dead! Kinda like those lovely Brady gun control flash games where just seeing a gun gives you two options. Touch it or leave it alone. Both end in someone getting shot somehow.

It's not on the face of things in that Trump just compulsively lies about everything possible, but it was interesting in that he kind of crumpled when people pressed on him instead of pressing back or angrily deflecting. He's starting to do this "well that's what I was told" thing like a middle school student would pull after they get called on making poo poo up and it's not quite as effective as just blasting back at the person asking it. He doesn't seem mentally prepared to have to answer to so many people

The cop who taught it was hands-down the least charismatic speaker I have ever heard in my life. Seriously, dude spoke in this plodding, cadence-free drone that was all but designed to put people into a coma.

The only things I remember from DARE are "Don't lick stickers of Mickey Mouse/Superman/other popular cartoons kids these days love because they're laced with LSD" and "People put stronger drugs in weed so you may think weed is harmless but it might actually have cocaine or heroin in it." I'm too scared to look at Freep today, they're probably jumping for joy over loving Pruitt being confirmed.

I asked my DARE speaker if she had a silencer for her pistol, because this was around the time Goldeneye came out on the N64 and I had my priorities straight. That's my DARE story, thanks for reading.

My main memory of DARE was that I wore a Budweiser lizards t-shirt to my DARE graduation in 5th grade in like 1998 and nobody mentioned it and I didn't even think about it until my parents teased me about it later. School before the 2000s was different

I remember having a DARE cop who went into detail about how mind-bendingly rear end-kickingly amazingly fantastic it is to listen to music while hosed up on weed and then as a coda he was like "uh but that's not a good enough reason to do it"

I'm still too mentally exhausted to dive back into freep, but here's some freepers IRL. Local conservative activists prepare for violent confrontation with Islam Their site is getting slaughtered right now, but there's an archive link available: http://archive.is/iY3AS "Local" here is the Winston-Salem-ish area in North Carolina. quote:The 20 or so people who attended the meeting at Captain Tom’s Seafood needed little convincing from presenter Tom Jones, who soldiered through frequent interruptions about supposed Muslim treachery paired with testimonials about preparedness for violent confrontation and even expressions of readiness to kill Muslims. quote:Del Valle said his views on Islam have been shaped by his longstanding opposition to the Castro regime in Cuba. quote:Reading from notes on a yellow legal pad in the dining hall at Captain Tom’s, Tom Jones outlined a set of charges that wove mundane day-to-day happenstance with unsubstantiated claims about Muslim subversion of the American court system. quote:Watkins went on to suggest that US Rep. Keith Ellison, the only Muslim member of US Congress who is a candidate to lead the Democratic National Committee, is part of the Muslim Brotherhood’s so-called “stealth jihad” movement.
