    I take kratom (plant based supplement) daily. I should probably reduce my intake.

    Thanks all of that hits home. I’ve been lowering my dose by 1/2 g a day and it’s been going well. I’m just scared of it impacting my work when I’m fully off of it. I’m in sales, so I can’t really take a substantial amount of time off away from customers. I’m just gonna go for it. Better...

    International Hamas launches surprise attack on Israel; Israel has declared a state of war.

    Not sure what I said came across as disagreeing with you. I’m 100% onboard for maintaining the preservation of monuments. I was a professor of Comparative History for almost 10 years; monuments like these are of paramount importance. And (some) Romans’ qualms about SPQR are based on their...

    International Hamas launches surprise attack on Israel; Israel has declared a state of war.

    Lived in Rome on and off for 12 years. They have a sizable Jewish population and well-known Jewish quarter adjacent to Trastevere neighborhood. I don’t see this solidarity stance any different than if Munich held a peace vigil for Israel. It’s admirable when a people can disavow their...

    What story you’ve heard has stayed with you and always disturbs you every time you think about it?

    Yup, that’s the one — Funkytown preceded by some GnR. In retrospect, I remember it exactly how you describe it (arms still in tact, but no hands; boxcutter, etc). I saw the ghost rider one too. Amazing what the human body can sustain. I initially thought the most recent flaying one was...

    What story you’ve heard has stayed with you and always disturbs you every time you think about it?

    Those are the worst for me as well. One in particular is still the worst thing I have ever seen in my life. When I saw it, I could feel it in my entire body; a visceral reaction. That had never happened to me before. Cartel guys have a rival guy chained to the floor and have already...

    Social Kid Got Attacked At Recess

    Same here. I went to parochial and my wife went to public. All I hear are horror stories from her, yet she insisted on sending out son to public. She was concerned about the “religious indoctrination”. I said I was concerned about giving our son the best opportunity we can give him in life...

    Economy Autoworkers Strike

    I’m in the thick of it here in Detroit. I sell to the automotive OEMs and Tiers and these protests and strikes impact my bottom line a bit. The companies are reluctant to cut large POs because of all the uncertainty. Having said that, I support the workers’ right to strike and I hope they...

    Crime What did the cops do wrong today Megathread Vol. 6 ? (who knows, lots of cop threads)

    Yeah, that’s my joke. They follow protocol during the least necessary situations and then shoot from the hip when caution and tact are required. For me, it almost always boils down to a lack of common sense and any formal education. I’m not saying necessarily 4-year college degree, but some...

    Television Father Ted - Irish comedy series

    Father Ted was awesome. Who was the Sherbro who had the Father Ted profile with “ah, go on Ted” as his sig? This was years ago.

    Law 64-year-old Pedo gets caught trying to meet up with a 14-year-old, and is forced to call his wife...

    agreed. The producers of this segment were so fixated on chastising and humiliating the perp that they didn’t bother to think about the collateral damage (wife). The objectives can be accomplished without humiliating an innocent individual for the rest of her life. It’s lazy and trashy.
