I mean, the United States' current constitution basically exists because of Shay's Rebellion. We're shaped as a nation by protest, revolts, and riots

Okay, so I was in this relationship for 3 years, two of which we never had one fight. Then the last six months things started to fall apart for reasons thay we're mostly my fault. We "broke up" the day after thanksgiving and she was instantly with another guy we had been friends with.

Que all the normal stuff, I make huge life changes, and big gestures. We talk about our relationship and for the past month have basically been better friends than we had been since July. I can go into details about how much time we spend together but I'm sure people just want to hear about the ghost.

Sometime ago she was apparently visited by my grandfather whom she had never met. I never used to believe in these things but she is very very accurate when she reads people.

Now this week we spent the night together in the same bed for most of the week. It was the first time we did this since the break. Now one morning she says she is asking the spirit of my grandfather about our future. According to her/him we will end up together and its "written in stone" but it wont happen for a year.

Now meanwhile she is still hanging out with this other dude, sleeping at his house sometimes, though she claims they have only had sex once and it was right after we broke up and that her and the dude are totally wrong for each other in everyway and she wont agree to be his girlfriend or whatever.

What the gently caress? I have no drat clue.

When I was a teenager I fronted the money for a palm reading for the girl I'd been making out with the night before. Palm reader told her to stop making out with me. I paid ten bucks (which is a lot of money when you don't have a job) so a stranger could tell a girl to stop kissing me.

It loving sucked. They give you a "cookbook" when you're on a liquid diet and it's just a list of things you can put in a blender. Hamburger? Throw in some milk and blend! Fried Chicken? Throw in some milk and blend! Potato Chips? Actually, that's gross, just suffer.

I subsisted on blended soups and shakes for two months, and then at the end when the wires were finally supposed to come off the oral surgeon was like "well, we're gonna knock you out and dig around in there anyway, might as well yank your wisdom teeth and prolong your agony."

Sadists.

Bright rules. Just

My mom made steak the night I came back from having my wisdom teeth pulled. I was NOT knocked out for that by the way. I could feel the pain but couldn't respond. It was not pleasant.

I got my wisdom teeth out almost 2 months ago.

My insurance didn't cover general anesthesia, so I just got the local.

In order to cut down on the terrible sounds (the cracking of teeth and the drill usage, (I hate dental drills)) I played the only album I had on my phone, Dark Side of the moon.

Sure enough right as the procedure begins Time starts up, and go figure synced up with the procedure pretty well.

It was trippy AF.

Got my stone ready.

Although the emo and goth girls I dated aren't exactly an improvement on wiccans.

I still have a soft spot for a woman with an edge and a brutally cynical outlook on life even if I mostly date sweethearts.

What are you talking about, the US government is always rational and only uses appropriate force during protests

I'm phone posting, otherwise each word of the sentence would be a different link to some other atrocity

Reading excerpts from Nixonland and seeing how public opinion of the massacre was that those students had it coming was depressing as gently caress (especially one father who said he would feel happy if those soldiers killed one of his sons if he was in those protests)

If MLK were alive today he would definitely be lambasted as a "race baiter" from the right like Sharpton and Jackson are today. Its amazing how filed off and nostalgia fueled his legacy is, I mean hell most of the reaction to the March on Washington was pretty ambivalent

Calculus is a lot easier than precalculus, precalculus covers a range of topics and techniques some of which can be confusing but calculus I just requires understanding a few concepts (the idea of a limit, the idea of a rate of change) and memorizing some easy stuff

I finally beat it on Friday. I would say, much like Witcher, you can ignore a good portion of the "?"s. They don't lead to any sidequests and are generally just "open container, kill captain/commander". If you see a glowing gold "?", definitely go for those however.

Any actual quests will be the "!" markers. The "?" are good for a little extra exp if you need help leveling up but they don't have any storyline tied to them and generally give you garbage loot.

Also hang on to your papyrus scrolls until you get to a higher level. I waited and got some weapons with hilariously overpowered add-ons to them.

deedee megadoodoo: Sep 28, 2000; Two roads diverged in a wood, and I, I took the one to Flavortown, and that has made all the difference.

The hardest part of calculus is the algebra.

The calculus part is mostly just remembering how to do derivatives and poo poo. Then the problem turns into algebra, which is where most people gently caress up. Of course you�re hosed before you even begin if you can�t figure out how to do the calculus part, but for all of your classes that�s just gonna be remembering how to do the transform.

Yeah, calculus is just pattern recognition and memorization. Precalc is like, super geometry, which was my least favorite math.
