I started work this week so I'm not really following everything but today was

CBO came out and was bad as expected
Trump told someone where we have subs continuing his pattern of making GBS threads all over NatSec
I'm pretty sure he told that crazy Filipino president gj on his war on drugs
He's really tired

Did I miss anything?

Yes and he runs it less poo poo-awfully than his predecessors and when people talk about how the left needs to stop purity testing this is exactly what they mean. He is moving the Catholic Church in a positive direction. That's a good thing and should be celebrated. God is not actually real so the Pope does not actually have magic powers. He's doing what a mortal man can do with an ancient and sprawling institution.


I agree, let the pope eat all the pasta he wants :argh:

Yeah. I like what he's doing. Almost everything I see is him saying poo poo like "Stop raping kids," and "Maybe don't hate the gays, God loves them too." poo poo like that and it's awesome. A huge organization like that won't change over night but everything I've seen is very positive and steps in the right direction.

Of course if the pattern holds he will be replaced by some crazy person who starts a literal crusade ala Van Helsing.

I've pretty much heard it as "Humans didn't evolve from monkeys but we've evolved from neanderthals and also animals can evolve like crazy."

Logic is pretty much that God can do anything so why the gently caress couldn't he make evolution a thing.

Zuckerberg is probably running for something and is the perfect anti-Trump, a techbro is the next leader of the free world.
Trump got owned by Macron all day, handshake and uh, oh Macron laughed at him.
Trump shoved some other president to be in the front
Trump told NATO to pay what they agreed to and oh my God I agree with something he said gently caress.
Trump is going to start a trade war with the EU? I'm guessing he really doesn't like Merkel?
Mench is now a confirmed troll? Holy poo poo

This is a ridiculous hypothetical, because my 1L grades would've needed to be a lot better, but I have no trouble saying I'd clerk for Scalia, Thomas, or Roberts, and I'm as poo poo-libby as they come. Alito, though. Man, I know you take the clerkship if offered, but I really loathe that son of a bitch.

If nothing else you'd get the chance to debate with someone who was capable of forming the best possible argument for whatever devil act he was about. It wouldn't shock me if liberal clerks changed their minds on a few things. I bet some conservative under RBG has changed a few views too.

Yeah, its just a nice little routine that I got "raised" on in my early drinking days of like get ready and pregame after dinner, go out around 10, bar hop a little if you want or check out a band or something, maybe go hook up, and meet back up around 3 or 4 for some food. It was weird learning that there were so many places where like 10 was late.

But as I said, I'm now old and just remember my glory days.

Where was this? I did pretty much the same thing in Hawaii. It was weird though, like some places closed at 2 a.m. others are 4 a.m. it felt like clubs were open longer than most bars.

My favourite part of thinking into the future is that at some point a group of historians is going to be assigned to reading through the Something Awful Forums during the pre and post Trump era.

Actually I bet a sociologist could do a fascinating book or paper on SA or the Goonfleet forums. How the people on the forums aged and became more tolerant over time and stopped the unfunny ironic racism, sexism and homophobic-slandering as they aged and how new sites like reddit and voat appeared to fill the void. We've already seen reddit follow SA to a degree. It'll be interesting to see where it is in five years, and where voat is in five years.

NYC and the greater metro area.

Yeah, usually you can find a kind of "bar/club/after hours" pecking order in some places. I spent a month in England and after a week or so I learned that there was a whole rhythm similar to what I knew. "Respectable" bars til 10, "dive" bars till 12 or 1, skeezy clubs till 2, kebabs from food carts after.

But in a most places I've been that weren't really densely populated or more rural its a lot more a case of needing to find the one crappy bar that's open or just finding a house party.

Yeah. We have the same sorta rhythm here. A Friday here is happy hour for food and beer at 5, nap or pregame at 8, club at 10, bars at midnight or 1. Late night eats at 3.
