I learned rhetoric on the streets.

"Hi, Yes, I have a doctorate in talking."

I replied to that video that my favorite fallacy was the fallacy fallacy, the assumption that just because someone was using a logical fallacy means they are wrong, which of course, is wrong.

The Chinese on that app have some real poetic shit. Someone asked how if they don't say "I love you" a lot then how do you express love to your partner?

"In this life there are three things I cherish most: the sun, the moon, and you. The sun for the dawn, the moon for dusk, and you for every moment in-between."

I have never had rizz on this level, goddamn.

For a few years I lived in a "room" that was a sort of entrance/porch that we used a curtain to block off. It was because we didn't have enough rooms in the house. Not as punishment or a form of control.

I had a friend who's 4 bedroom house had 13 children in it. His parents were Italian Catholics. So I don't think anyone had their own room. He slept on a sofa for years and had almost no property but his clothes and guitar and emancipated himself legally at the age of 16. He's a chef in Hawaii now.

I think trying to downplay the harm of long-term heavy cocaine abuse is not good. Bing a hardcore alcoholic destroys you just as much as being a hardcore coke-head. Like cirrhosis of the liver there are many issues that arise from long term abuse. Destroying your nose if you snort (like most do). Moving on to other forms of intake like crack or injecting it has it's own problems. And let's touch on cocaine psychosis for a minute. The majority (as many as 85%+) of long term heavy users will experience a psychotic episode. For a while I worked at a drug rehab place and saw my fair share of lifelong cokeheads coming clean. Pretty much every last one of them had some form of neuro-divergence known to be associated with long term use. Lot's of schizoid disorders. It's depressing to see them try and get their lives together but also struggling with this new element they've developed that was either brought on or at the very least accelerated by their addiction.

ALL THAT SAID we absolutely must decriminalize (at the very least) and treat addicts and users with compassion. Occasional drug use can be fun and part of experiencing what life has to offer. Addiction and abuse is a healthcare issue and people suffering from that need help, not arrest and incarceration.

The wood it's on is native to Lebanon as well. I do admit there is a really dark, and I mean bottom of the abyss dark humor in this. Fucked up beyond anything, though.

He knew how enraging this is. That's why he did it. The cruelty is always the point.

I'm not even joking between this election and being on XHS she has moved so far left. Every time her baser liberal tendencies start to surface I just gently nudge back on course. I've never previously tried to change her ideology, just accepted who she was but at the same time if she starts doing that liberal thing like, "I guess those Muslims in Deerborn shouldn't have voted 3rd party," nope, I'm not going to abide that. We have to address it patiently and she is changing her mind on it fast.

Earlier she was on the phone with one of her friends and was extolling the virtues of socialism with Chinese characteristics. "We've been told they are free but how free are we with our rent and our insurance companies bleeding us dry?!? ..... Yes, I would totally move there!" I never thought I'd hear her say something like that about a "commie" country.

Last election broke my liberal wife. She is radicalizing. Soon she will be calling these fools "libs" with venom.
