@zeldatra And possibly all because he didn't get a 6 year old meme and is incapable of admitting being wrong

@zeldatra It would probably help if the Anaheim (OC) Angels didn't somehow become an LA team, and a FrankerZant car auction in the boondocks of Mira Loma, IE called itself their LA location, among other things like the city's history of swallowing up other towns (largely by calling dibs on water rights, which of course involved the flooding of a native sacred site) and the general fact that most of SoCal really is just one neverending urban/suburban/exurban sprawl

@zeldatra suuuucks, been there man. Gratz on getting and staying off, though. Hope things settle.

@zeldatra If you get the insomnia but don't want to give in, I've made use of NyQuil or Benadryl to zonk out forcibly

@zeldatra Slightly lesser now that I know that isn't the Chinese Democratic Peoples Republic

@zeldatra In Yakuza the protagonist is accused of murder but didn't do it. On the other hand in the actual game he breaks spines left and right, shoots people, jams a broken bottle into the abdomen, piledrive a person head first into the concrete floor. It's ok because after the fight they are shown to be alive but bruised.

@zeldatra My grandpa knew a guy who served in the Peace Corps in India back in the 60's. The dude even wrote a book on it. Sounded fun, outside of the violent (and public) digestive mishaps.

Having died young, Peter left behind a cast of characters who are approaching middle age that Kat has to interact with increasingly frequently starting in her mid twenties, when suddenly a bunch of sitcom plots start happening to her for seemingly no reason except that we’re watching now.

At home, though, things were not great. Though he tried his best to provide for his new family after Kat’s birth in the late 90s, Peter was mentally ill, and his condition was exasperated by post-traumatic stress, developed as a result of his time in the military in the early 2000s during the US-led War in Turaqistan. After he was discharged for disobeying a direct order - he was ultimately unable to kill a disarmed insurgent who surrendered during a skirmish - he returned home a broken man, and often lashed out physically at his wife. They divorced when Kat was 12, and he passed away when she was 14. He’s buried in the Nova County Cemetery on the outskirts of town. Kat hasn’t been to see him since he died.

@zeldatra They said they would email my grandma; I replied that she never even turns her computer on; mailer-daemon added "Invalid address, message not sent."

@zeldatra Dude, man, sorry to have to break it to you, but you don't make enough for the Republicans to cut your taxes....

@zeldatra They are brutal enough to make me really happy not to have started a tobacco habit, our "desperate bargain" brands are around $8-10

@zeldatra I *think* it may have a little bit to do with the impossible schedules that Dispatch cooks up?

@zeldatra Jesus was a roman-era Hebrew, so he's pretty distanced from modern day Jews. He's also only half Hebrew since only his mother's lineage can be traced, so arguably you could cast anyone eurasian for the role and not be too far off mark.

@zeldatra "Lose" is relative with <1% difference.
Brazil is quite screwed either way, Bolsonaro was quite disastrous, but Lula is downright horrid, ideology aside, any other option would have been better. On the plus side congress is stacked in Bolsonaro's favour, which means neither party can really do anything without the support of the other; theoretically this should mean they can only enact reasonable policy, but emphasis on "theoretically" -
@zeldatra You may say that, but once I finish developing my NFT insulin patent, I'll revolutionize the industry
