Nope, never. My retirement plan is a ditch with a nice view of the Rockies in Colorado and a bottle of gin on a cold winter night. Everything I’ve saved into (SS, TSP, retirement accounts) will inevitably disappear before I can access them/hit the age requirements. I don’t trust the system at all (I didn’t trust it before the election outcome either). I’m fucked. We’re all fucked. Might as well live it up now while I still can.
Surprise surprise. Remember when this bullshit first kicked off and they were like “Oh yeah, we’ll totally let them back in once the fighting stops”? Yeah, that was never the plan.

Everyone else in your life that isn’t immoral (if you’re the only one who is) dies eventually, so every time you make a friend or start a family, you do so knowing that you will have to watch them all die someday.
Yup, exactly. It just seems like there’s no time to relax when you have kids, you always have to be “on”.
I used to take a bus home from work, and a woman that lived in my apartment took the same bus, so we always ended up walking into the building together. I’ll never forget that EVERY time when she opened her apartment door, you could hear two little kids yell “MOMMY!” the second that door was opened. Maybe some people love that, but to me it always filled me with a sense of dread and exhaustion. Here was this woman who just spent a full day at work and now she has to come home and essentially start her second job of being with her kids, who of course want all her attention. I felt horrible for her, and it wasn’t like she was skipping home all happy to see them, either.
It’s awesome. Sure, I have moments in life that suck regardless, but in those moments I always think to myself “Wow, this would be even worse if I had kids.”
Interesting! Thanks for the link!
That sounds amazing but alas, bananas and plantains make my stomach hurt, so I avoid anything related.

Hell yes, TFP Starscream is so over the top. At first I was like WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO HIM but the more you watch the series, the more hilarious he becomes. TFP was so great on so many levels.
Alex Milne is my favorite artist in the IDW comics. My partner got a commission from him of Fortress Maximus for my birthday one year and it’s like my most prized possession ever, his work is so intricate and amazing.
I’m a huge Transformers nerd, grew up with the G1 cartoons and comics, have read all the IDW series comics, own several action figures, etc etc (but hate the Bayverse movies), so this is hard to pick just 2, because I like so many of the characters for different reasons, but:
Autobots - Ratchet. The older I get, the more I identify with him.
Decepticons - Ravage. He was my favorite when I was a kid because he was a Transformer AND a cat, which was just the coolest thing ever to me. I still have a G1 Ravage figure that turns into a cassette tape.
Why Digimon and not Pokémon?
I make one massive salad with romaine, cucumber, and red pepper and keep it in a Tupperware, then dole it out one bowl at a time every day for a week and add a hard boiled egg, black olives, dressing, and chickpeas.
So I looked into the USSS, and here from their FAQ: "Under Title 18, Section 3056, of the United States Code, agents and officers of the United States Secret Service can:
Carry firearms
Execute warrants issued under the laws of the United States
Make arrests without warrants for any offense against the United States committed in their presence, or for any felony recognizable under the laws of the United States if they have reasonable grounds to believe that the person to be arrested has committed such felony
Offer and pay rewards for services and information leading to the apprehension of persons involved in the violation of the law that the Secret Service is authorized to enforce
Investigate fraud in connection with identification documents, fraudulent commerce, fictitious instruments and foreign securities and
Perform other functions and duties authorized by law"
This leads me to wonder just how many times a SS Agent witnessed Trump committing a felony in their presence but didn’t arrest him.

Yeah, they never gave a shit about that, it was all religious services on Sundays only. If I remember correctly there was Catholic, Protestant, Muslim, Jewish, and Buddhist services, and I think maybe Wiccan.
