When my wife and I were living in a basement, I made a fake window out of an old TV I had. High CRI led strips, a lace curtain, and some leveling later and we had a nice light source that made it feel less depressing in our room.

We aren’t in a basement anymore, but in winter I put the fake window in the real window around 430ish. It helps with seasonal depression a bit, but I miss actual sunlight every year. Especially now that I have a job that has me inside, away from windows, from before sunrise to after sunset.

As I like to say, “you can always put more clothes on. You can only take so much off before the cops show up.”

kick off a civil war

looks around at “detention” camps

looks around at military being moved around in preparation for things

looks around at states invading other states with their own guard members

looks around at civilians being executed on camera in the streets by government-backed SS-style secret police

My brother/sister/non-binary in the flying spaghetti monster, we are there. Whether it’s one-sided or not is going to be the real question.

Every republican that talks shit about gun control, I roll with it and see how far they’ll agree with me.

“hell yeah, the government shouldn’t be allowed to control our guns!”

“fucking politicians always getting scared of people just for owning and carrying guns. They don’t kill you by accident!”

“anti-gun nut Ronald Reagan got scared of people walking around open carrying, and he fucked California up with gun control while Governor! Brought it to Washington with him, too! cites laws signed by Reagan”

I lose a lot of the with this one. Somehow Ronald Reagan is their idol?

“yeah man, if they can take a trans persons guns, they can take yours too!”

That last one is where I lose almost all of them.

If there is a hell, Ronald Reagan is getting pineapple’d with Hitler, Margaret Thatcher, and Charlie Kirk.

Haha yeah I bet he hasn’t pooped in two or thr… checks conveniently placed paper calendar on the wall

Oh… Oh god…

This decade has been the longest century of my life.

Ah, ad hominem attacks because you can’t counter anyone’s points.

I see my maga boomer comment was spot on.

Well in part, humanity is nazis…

You’ll go about spouting things as if they are facts, and when questioned you simply hand-wave them away as if checks comments “being old” and “being disabled” are in any way supporting your point.

You sound exactly like my MAGA in-laws.

Yes, capitalism bad, but uhhhhh

You’ll get it if you survive to my age.

OK boomer

Please don’t, critters live in them thar meadows

Me, at 7:01 Monday morning:

I think we can all agree it’s a good thing at least we don’t live in the Berensteen Bears universe.

Fuck that place.

The only good fascism is MY fascism!

I’ve only interacted with two dementia/alzheimer’s patients, so I’ll admit I don’t know much about the conditions.

While yes, they could get belligerent and uncooperative, but largely would agree with pretty much whatever you were saying, as long as you weren’t using a mean tone. Basically they were thought sponges that had no problem agreeing with whatever you said, and even repeating it for a short time before losing it.

Trump is clearly a thought sponge for whoever he last spoke to that wasn’t immediately adversarial to him.

You should know! I consider it important information that is necessary for life, as now you get to imagine every songbird tossing in a “cunt” or “good on ya” while twittering away.

There is no law in the US. Just an uncivilized savage land now.

You don’t love a pointlessly gendered meme debate while the world is burning due to class warfare?

Because the doctor is stuck in the mindset that women are baby factories and they should be that above whatever else they want to do in life.

That’s… What finitebanjo said?
