This is an episode that exemplifies my writing style. I don’t write the stories, the characters do. Sure I might have an idea of what I want to make, but once I sit down and start writing the characters just start talking. As far as I can remember I sat down to write an episode about Donald’s stupid kayfabe rivalry with DeSantis. Then the Hair starts talking about his past and the Hat cuts him off because he doesn’t give a shit. Perfect character moment brought about by the character and not the writer.

I identify as someone who grew up in the depression.
Well, I identify as someone who grew up in the declivity!
I identify as someone who grew up in poverty. Son of a single mother, two hungry mouths to feed, deadbeat dad. Kraft blue box Mac and cheese was $0.25 per box. Off brand was even less. We bought off-brand and gussied it up. My mom worked a full time job as an accountant at a failing YMCA, a second job at JCPenny, and a third job as accountant for a YMCA Camp.
That has dominated my spending habits. I hate debt. I want quality things , I’m not willing to pay for cheap shit, and I am willing to pay for quality. I am not willing to go into debt for unserious things.
Muh brother from another muther.
Except mine had four hungry mouths to feed. But I also have zero debt.
Good morning all.
Zero debt here as well. What you are describing Nick is called ‘wisdom’.
Huh. Raised by single mom and abuela until mom remarried when I was 9. Also debt free, it helps that my kids were smart enough to earn academic scholarships.
That bit about railing Hope Hicks was projection, wasn’t it?
“Perfect character moment brought about by the character and not the writer”
I hear this from you writer people a lot and I gotta call BS, You are your characters, all of them, if they sat sommat it’s because you thought they should say sommat. There is no magic, Jiminy Cricket does not exist.
There is proof the Hat and Hair exist in Glibs Gulch, ask OMWC.
People’s minds have a lot going on under the level of conscious awareness. Things bubble up that can sometimes come as surprises. So, yes, you the writer ‘are’ all your characters, but no, that doesn’t mean they can’t surprise you.

Every morning when I wake up I’m surprised!
Tell me you’ve never written without telling me you’ve never written.
I meant to post this the next time UCS makes some flippant remark about slaughtering foreigners. Perhaps it will quench his blood lust.

The above is also relevant to the war in Gaza.
I’ll add that I don’t mean this as a personal attack. It’s just that I’ve gotten tired of hearing soft, spoiled, weak Americans fantasize out loud about Republican Space Rangers effortlessly annihilating dastardly “moose limbs” with their sonic electronic ball breakers.

Derp, you made a statement that Hamas will ultimately defeat Israel, and I’m just curious how you define defeat for Israel and how you think that will be achieved. Realistically at any point in the foreseeable future.
I have the same question(s).
Hamas wins if Israel stops attacking them, and at some point, they will. Permanently.
The IRA didn’t need to conquer the UK to win.

I write these things in the hope that the US does not lose another war, and also because I don’t want Israel to lose one either. In fact, I hope neither country ever has to fight another war.

The Arabic text at the end of this Hamas airborne assault propaganda video says (paraphrasing):
Go in through the enemy’s front door and you will win.

Gaza/Palestine is not Northern Ireland, which was your direct comparison, if I remember correctly.
Had Israel kept the settlers there for a few centuries, you might be able to make a case for it, but with the pullout several decades ago now, that thread is no longer viable. NI has had British “settlers” there for long enough to be quite rightly considered natives and have, at the same time, strong connections to the motherland. It is that long term connection that differs from Gaza, were the settlers never made such a solid connection. And that connection is what makes the NI issue so thorny.
I cannot say who will defeat whom, as this is such a singular situation. The best analogy would probably be India/Bangladesh, but after just as long a period as Gaza and related issues has settled down. Most likely, the Palestinians will always be a thorn in the side, as they have no way of actually defeating Israel, and I doubt Israel will commit actual genocide, with would be the only way to solve this problem.
The Israelis won’t genocide Palestinians because they’d be genocided 5 minutes later.
So the war in Gaza is not genocide, terrible as it is. More like the siege of Vicksburg.
However awful anyone thinks the Israelis are, they are allowing food and medicine to enter Gaza.
It’s part of their plan to build the world’s most moral concentration camp:
Former Israel PM says planned ‘humanitarian city’ in Gaza would be a ‘concentration camp’
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYXumzbZQ8M
PragerU: IDF is the world’s most moral military
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tN1MkAGuVyY
Calling Gaza a concentration camp is, to put it lightly, silly. Gaza has two other borders, both of which have been closed by those countries, not Israel. If anything, Gaza is a autonomous zone, and will most likely remain so. And unless the Palestinians get serious about their actual future, and not the mythical future, it will stay that way.
Several times, most recently the Oslo accords, Israel has tried to jettison the area, but the PA refuses to go that way, as then they have to live up to that actual future. In NI, GB hasn’t left, has no plans to leave, and never will. Israel is the same.
uh huh, totally not a land grab

Israel pulled out of, and removed all settlements in, Gaza in 2005: https://www.britannica.com/event/Israels-disengagement-from-Gaza
By the way, what happened in ’67? Oh, yeah, the Six Days War. That was the third of the Arab-Israeli wars, and one in which, again, Israel took land from the counties who attempted the destruction of it as a state. They did install settlements in 1970, but, again, dismantled them in ’05.
Whoever put together that bit of stupidity you are flashing is simply a propagandist. Interesting that you fell for it.
Should I believe you or my lying eyes?

You can believe whatever you would like, but an AP video does not show a home being torn down in a war zone becoming a new settlement, nor does a propaganda video, no matter what it says.
Seriously, Derpy, critical thinking, how does it work?
You’re both rather propagandized if you ask me. Zwak is ridiculously pro-Israeli and thinking that Hamas is going to ultimately win anything against Israel is ridiculous to me.Even if we are just defining it as the loss of no more land, that’s not Hamas’s goal now is it?
IDF: she was killed in a boating accident; yeah, that’s the ticket!

Rachel Aliene Corrie (April 10, 1979 – March 16, 2003) was an American nonviolence activist and diarist.[1][2] She was a member of the pro-Palestinian International Solidarity Movement (ISM)[3] and was active throughout the Israeli-occupied Palestinian territories. In 2003, she was in Rafah, a city in the Gaza Strip, where the Israeli military was demolishing Palestinian houses at the height of the Second Intifada. While protesting the demolitions as they were being carried out, she was killed by an Israeli armored bulldozer that crushed her.

The Israelis won’t genocide Palestinians because they’d be genocided 5 minutes later.
By whom? Iran is a wreck militarily, and they were the biggest threat.
The Israelis wouldn’t be genocided by anyone but they would lose all support, maybe not in the short term but in the long term, which would cause them to slowly fail. They’ve shown a surprising amount of effectiveness but without the US propping them up they’re not in a great position.

So we’ll get what’s essentially Mexican Coke here? It’s not budget cuts but I’ll take it.

Good morning, Sean, Teh Hype, Stinky, and Ted’S.!
Morning
Good morning, U! How are you today?
I stayed up too late, which has its expected negative consequences. At least I’m remote today.
I’ve been staying up too late in general, even when I find myself yawning my way through the evening. Gotta work on that.
🥱

Whelp, that sucks. ⚡️
This is why we need common-sense weapons control.
” a group of people was ”
I know that this is technically correct but it still sounds wrong.
It sounds wrong because it is.
Not according to grammar Nazis
Neither of my Grammars were Nazis.
One of mine was a commie, and the meanest person I have ever known.
“It was all so sudden”
Ya dont say.
You can tell when lightning is about to strike you or. very near you. The trouble is you can tell about half of a second before it happens.
I shot an arrow into the air. It fell to earth and lightning struck.
The other day I was in a thunderstorm in Tears of the Kingdom. I was careful to equip nothing metallic. Climbed a small but suspicious-looking tree and got struck by lightning anyway.
Oops.

Recent occurrence.
Ah, I don’t think I’d be too thrilled but it’s not like they were cutting through to avoid backed up traffic or something. Throw out some grass seed and let it go.
Who’s dead now?
I guess she’s no longer anybody’s fool.
And “Where the Boys Are” isn’t really a rom-com.
Connie and I go back a long, long time. About 65 years or so, I still have some CF CDs. She was an arousing attraction to a barely Onescore.
I will miss her.
I think it says something about the bias of “public” broadcasters that the top story that ORF (Austria) is running with is the death of a stage theater director.
I mean, as I type this the guy isn’t listed on Wikipedia’s obituary page (granted it’s not the English-speaking world) but the GovSec class really has a bias about what they think everyone is supposed to care about.
Kinda like the US media going on about the Met Gala.
You don’t get excited by watching people who have never done a days work, or had an original thought, be smug in expensive, but ugly clothes?
Mornin’, reprobates!
Good morning, ‘patzie! How are you and yours today?
For a half hour there I thought I’d killed the comments section.
Mornin’, GT. We dodged a bullet Tuesday – serious flooding 5 miles north of here and 20 miles south. Just a bit of rain here, also it looks like the local DPW cleaned up the debris in the brook that runs through the woods behind my property. Out for a walk yesterday, brook was bone dry.
I am still here…sorta. Critters have to be fed, coffee must be made.
suh’ fam
whats goody
It feels like Houston here. WTF?
Culture? Vibe? Weather?
Weather. Heat index over 85 at dawn is not my jam.
Like you’re in the middle of a fetid urban swamp with a blazing temperature and ridiculous humidity?
It’s not blazing yet, but definitely swampy.
I think this pattern is finally gonna break tomorrow. I can’t wait to open a window.
Forecast for a high of 94 with 50% humidity. Welcome to the jungle.
“We’ve got fun and games”?
We have Fun Land and Reclaim Arcade.
Where are you NA? You should swing by here. It is only 87, heat index 93, humidity 93%
The wind speed is exactly zero so….Louisiana in July.
I am about to go cut the grass.
