hilariously she's being chased off the street and since she's been slashing the gently caress out of cops they aren't particularly keen to help her out much
Indeed.

The head of the police saying there was no "magic police tree" after she asked them to redeploy street officers to do counterterrorism work was pretty choice.

~nothing matters~ is a mantra not to say that things have never mattered, or that things will never matter again. it is instead a way of looking at the world and accepting that the good and dignity you put into it might be taken by it with no apparent effect. it is to accept that your individual snowflake being added to the mountainside has an almost impossibly small chance of being the one that causes the avalanche, that you might not even be alive to see the change, while still understanding that not only is your contribution important and worth doing, but essential

change comes to the world in aggregate, in tidal shifts, that you have no control over. all you can do is help others in the small ways you can, and be as good a person as you can be, and discard that nagging voice in your head that says you are eternal and you will always be rewarded per some running karmic tab. because when change does come, it's those millions of little things you did, the smiles, the risks, the laughter, the rejection of stupid social mores, the adherence to your own truths, the love that you exude, all those things that will define how the world changes and in what shapes and forms the world will take

Except smoothbrained liberals aren't even using a chisel. They are pouring bottled water on the stone in the midst of a hot summer day in the hopes it erodes eventually.

For the two people who gave me e-hugs about it: My grandma was in better shape than I was expecting, and was reportedly eating even though I heard she stopped, but I still suspect that was the last time I got to be with her unless I can get back down there on the weekend. She doesn't seem uncomfortable, just not very responsive most of the time.

Which is about the best you can ask out of an old age death.

the problem is assuming that they're rational and acting in good faith

gop politicians don't care, because they're rich and their friends are rich, and poors don't really matter to them because they don't know any. gop voters don't care because they're racist and stupid as gently caress, and as long as a sexually repressed man in a red tie tells them what they want to hear they'll push the R-button like a pigeon in a skinner box and scream into the aether about DUMBOCRAP EMAILS

the gop politicians are also largely as insane as their base these days

The Goulston Street graffito was a sentence written on a wall beside a clue in the 1888 Whitechapel murders investigation. It has been transcribed as variations on the sentence "The Juwes are the men that will not be blamed for nothing". The meaning of the graffito, and its possible connection to the crimes attributed to Jack the Ripper, have been debated for over a century.

give them time to see beyond the party systems and all political ideologies, very difficult with cups full to the brim of presumable knowledge

the truth is, the cup is empty and we dont know what the gently caress we're doing or know really but the observable truth by the empty cup allows us to acquire different purposes with it

make your time wisely with your own empty cup, the machinations are older than the universe itself.

Sure we all know that the procedures for stone breaking were written by the Stone Intactists to curb the uncontrolled desires of the hungry mob. Such negativity really doesn't do justice to our fine machinery and traditions, however.

Do the naysayers forget when the people became so furious at the lack of results and usable pieces of stone that the rules buckled, strained, almost collapsed until a small chisel was used to crack a edge piece? Why I think we marveled at that piece of progress for years.

No, we can't just use chisels from now on. That would be violating Intactism.

its cause the tea partiers actually voted. and the republican plan to grease the electoral gears in their favor created an environment where the even-more-insane candidates could run successfully. and that they get all their information from AM talk radio and gut feelings.
