What's on your mind today?

I think that Bruno really started her to reassess the whole situation. I blame him for enflaming the whole thing. She was weak, and he came on strong.

To be completely fair, I was the one to light a smoke at that gas station, not Bruno, which is not a problem unless there is something flammable looking for a handy ignition source. His contribution to the overall drama was in that regard.

You're an asshole. I'll take the consequences from the management.

This is not a moderator reaction, but you do should substantiate the claim if you stand by it - otherwise, it's just a  less-than-constructive ad-hominem.

I just feel like dying when my liberty to speak is threatened.

[Asmodean]

To be perfectly clear, I am not mandating or trying to limit your speech. You do have the right to an opinion and to any non-violent expression thereof.

What I am requesting, is a little more adherence to the informal social contract, where we don't pass judgement on private individuals behind their back, especially when they cannot be there to make or defend their case.

I've got to bring one of our cats to the vet. He lost a lot of weight and looks miserable.

[Tom62]

The poor cat has liver cancer. In a few minutes my wife will join me at the vet to say our final goodbyes.

[Asmodean]

Condolences. Losing a pet sucks

[hermes2015]

So sorry for your loss. Many people don't understand that we love our pets as much as our human children.

[Asmodean]

...as much as our human children.

The Asmo's ratties were better than children. Much quieter and more nice to The Asmo's expensive stuff. Children... They tend to smear things onto The Asmo's fancy electronics, cars and what have you. Ratties, on the other hand, perfect creatures.

[Dark Lightning]

That's sad, Tom. Sorry for your loss.

[billy rubin]

im sorry

[Tom62]

Thanks! Losing a pet is indeed not fun. Ricky was a kind of loner. He was always on his own and didn't connect with the other two cats. Nevertheless, I feel sorry about him. At least he is no longer suffering.

[Icarus]

Losing someone you care about is one of the human burdens. Ones pet is an integral part of the family. The loss matters.

The days news revealed an astounding and monumentally stupid claim. The US women's soccer team loss to Sweden was because the  US team is too "woke".

That makes me angry beyond words. Why is my country populated by so many dumb bastards with shit for brains?

I was involved with women's sports teams for many years. I know from experience, more than most, about the guts and endurance of pain,the capabilities, and the supreme effort from women in sports. 


Ignorant bastards want to blame a legitimate loss on Woke??? Grrrrr!!!!

 

[Asmodean]

Too woke for Sweden?! Maybe they lost because the Swedes are just better at it?
