This year is going to be a poo poo show and I'm not looking forward to it. I have the comic in my head where 2023 is some mutant white creature swinging a club and 2024 is in the background as a giant monster creature all "Oh is that all you got?"

Oh boy let's roll the "Who wants to gently caress everything up and destabilize it all enough to do this?" dice. There's a lot of contenders!

Crab Dad posted:Bolton needs to lead the charge into Iran. I swear this walrus-in-a-suit spent his entire, comically brief, time in the Trump administration stroking a half-chub about the idea of going to war with Iran.

Mr. Nice! posted:There is. He can’t appeal every interlocutory decision from a criminal trial. Gag orders (because they’re injunctive in nature) and stuff like immunity are the only things he can appeal right now. The rest must way until post-judgment. I think a better phrasing would be "The court won't accept any appeals other than..." because this is Trump. Pretty sure before this is done he's going to file an appeal for the color of fringe on the flags. He *can* do whatever the gently caress he wants and probably will because his narcissism leaves him with a very tenuous attachment to reality, then it's on every one else to deny those actions.

stealie72 posted:I feel this. My wife and I are making what I would have considered an extremely comfortable household income for most of my life, and probably 20% more than we made when we first moved into our current house 8 years ago. As someone who is measurably better off with my most recent job change even counting for inflation and cost of living and all of that, I still don't enjoy the current "economy" because I am one bad diagnosis away from bankruptcy and losing everything for both myself and my family. What is there to feel "good" about when it can all vanish up some healthcare CEO billionaire's coked-out nostril tomorrow? There's nothing out there for me besides what I have right now and family to fall back on.

Jesus christ, loose bolts? I wasn't even aviation mechanics rated, I worked on some stuff inside the plane, and they would have fist-hosed us with sandpaper if we didn't sign eldritch pacts with our souls stating we torqued every single last bolt, screw, and fastening. Of which every single last one of them for the entire airframe was on a huge rear end check list that had to be taken step-by-step, in order, one at a time, with a buddy system, both of us signing off on it. Then every single last tool that was even allowed to be in the building had to be returned to it's designated, serialized place on a wall that had black foam cutouts over a red spray-painted board backing. That wasn't even working on the loving airframe!

Lol "treatment". I pursued VA treatment for tinnitus. Hearing test, consultation, the whole shebang. The treatment was a piece of paper telling me about fans or white noise generators at night to fall asleep.

Soylent Pudding posted:I feel like the judge going "that's nice, time for lunch" is probably far more infuriating to Trump than yelling back at him. Ignoring his blithering bullshit and addressing his lawyer instead of him either has or shortly will send him into a full blown, nuclear-powered-volcano narcissistic rage fit. We probably won't see anything more than the usual dsmentia-brain diarrhea on social media from it when it happens behind closed doors but Trump is gonna flip his loving poo poo at max volume over that.

There will probably be a mass relocation out of Florida at some point. Because people gonna people though, it will be a chaotic humanitarian clusterfuck of individuals trying not to die in the aftermath of a monster hurricane while the state goes bankrupt from it's half-baked insurance scheme now that all the major players are pulling out.

Comedy option, Biden should call up the Texas national guard. Turns out they all need to be deployed to Alaska for a few months on an emergency basis.

Itchy_Grundle posted:Are positive that isn’t ketchup? I’m only half joking Some other pictures of it that I've seen make it look like it's whatever the gently caress cream he smears on his face to achieve the inhuman skin tone he has. Like the bottle leaked on his hand or something. Still pretty OK with the idea of his brain rotting to untreated syphilis but I don't think this is it unfortunately.

I am exactly one of those "My situation is good but I feel the 'economy' is hosed" people and my reasoning for that is because I live my life one wrong car turn or cancer diagnosis or blood vessel away from losing everything I have to bankruptcy and homelessness for my family with absolutely no form of safety net to catch us the picosecond I am no longer a profit-making endeavor for my employer. How the gently caress does me making an above average salary and having some money in the bank translate to a good situation when it can all completely evaporate with no hope for recovery based on nothing I did or choices I made? It's a better situation than I've had in the past, but that is a long goddamn way from good.

Midjack posted:It doesn't matter and they know it. They're in the same situation GM was a few years ago, they can gently caress up all they want and the government will trip over itself to bail them out. Number go up? Number go up! If they have to make a few payments for planeloads of dead people then whatever, it's not people they care about and the numbers show which is more profitable.

pantslesswithwolves posted:Isn’t the anxiety and pain from asphyxiation caused by the buildup from carbon dioxide in the bloodstream, not the lack of oxygen itself? Mooooooostly, yes. Autonomic nerve system sensors, generally speaking, don't respond to the lack of oxygen as you would think. For the majority of the population we respond much more strongly to the increase in blood acidity of the presence of excess carbon dioxide. In theory for the majority of the population this means that, yeah, blast full nitrogen in and let them expel carbon dioxide with normal breathing and they'll never have any kind of reaction. HOWEVER. If you're in a partially compromised condition for a long term your body gets used to that condition and the response to it. Think being in the room with a bad smell, and then eventually just not smelling it or at least not as much. Someone new to the room will go all "OH MY GOD WHAT IS THAT" and you're all "I dunno, not bad, just a little bit of carbon dioxide in the blood stream whatever you get used to it." For this portion of the population the hypoxic drive takes over and has a much stronger reaction. For the people in that condition, they WILL react to the lack of oxygen in the blood using the 'secondary', so to speak, system.

Sure Meemaw and Papaw are gonna fill up Donnie's coffers to fight the woke or whatever, but every dollar he hoovers up is that much less that can go to the rest of the Republican party. They've already had multiple state parties coming up totally broke because Donnie is soaking up every dollar they used to get by being the chief grifter of the party. At least now that money goes to a real person instead of a fascist political party or a narcissistic conman. Even with all those donations I don't think he's financially stable. He's been leveraged to the tits for decades and only survived by laundering Russian money then lucking into the presidency so he can grift one half of the country. A good solid whack like this at the foundation of his financial empire is gonna make a whole bunch of other stuff start going wobbly further up the tower and it's not done yet.

I don't feel any pain when I'm on opioids after surgeries because all I do is sleep, constantly, until they're out of my system. Not a lot of fun and I use them as little as possible even when I was cut open, re-arranged and bolted/screwed back in place.

facialimpediment posted:When I had kidney stones, I got zero euphoria out of the morphine and dilaudid, but it sure did help with the screaming. loving of course he's pissed off that someone else exists. The "I'm more popular" thing is pure, distilled narcissism just 150-decibel-screaming in his psyche that someone else is getting attention and he cannot, on a fundamental level of his being, handle that.
