Can't sleep without alcohol
Zanick

I'm seeing a therapist who helped me realize that I take initiative in enough ways to improve my life that any reason why I might hinder myself by choosing this particular vice is a poor rationalization. It's been four days since I used it to get to sleep, instead I opt for heavy use of chamomile, though I've had moderate alcohol consumption on a daily basis still because I date an Irish family.

Don't take that much caffeine with that much pseudo, that's a bad idea. If you're used to it, it's an even worse idea. Drop the pseudo and replace with an equal amount of theanine.

Politicizing is inherently loathsome, but if we intend to get to the root of the matter we have to ask why it keeps happening and what we can do to prevent it. Obama knows this, the GOP knows it, the NRA knows it, your liberal Facebook pals know it and and so do you.

Sometimes I think about how easy it would be to end everything without a second thought. I feel obligated to keep on, my mother just lost her mother and I couldn't leave her alone like that, but I find her inaccessible and prone to lonely sorrow. My father is wrapped up in his bids on real estate. My girlfriend is stressed about work and sex has diminished to the odd occasion where she's too drunk and I feel like I've taken advantage. My sister has moved away like all my friends and I'm stuck in a toxic work environment to which I've dedicated all my energy, but now I'm watching my colleagues quite and the ones remaining turn on my as we seek promotion through leadership. If I could systematically remove all ties, absolve all those close of memories that I had ever existed, I might be able to quietly remove myself and let the world forget that I had been born, and it saddens me that this fantasy was born out of my own hubris.

Do you ever eat spam?
Zanick
motherfucker
[my p.a. supernal goa]
No. I'm a vegetarian. Even if I weren't, I wouldn't eat spam. There are some things I will not do: harm a woman, denounce a friend, eat spam, etc. I have to maintain this basic code to respect myself.

Favorite bands?
Zanick
motherfucker
[my p.a. supernal goa]
Radiohead. I know, it's so unfortunately characteristic of me to keep returning to the same band but for years I've tried fruitlessly to find someone prolific and dedicated to exploring the things I can't say aloud. It's been a struggle and I've restricted my listening to comfort music so that I can enjoy them shamefully or drunk.

I'm astonished by the vast differences in different models of thinking and how we communicate our perspectives. People can say the same old shit in so many different ways, and that tells me more about how they see the world - enough to know there are as many perspectives as there are people. It alleviates my concern that some are generics of others.

It depends on where you do it and who sees. While it's not a crime by itself to fly the ISIS flag, if you do it near a school, a military base, outside the VA, outside the White House, the Pentagon, the World Trade Center site, etc. you'll probably be arrested and charged especially if you had a gun on you with intent to commit acts of terrorism, and if that doesn't happen charges might still be pressed by traumatized individuals. Dude, just fly it on your lawn or some shit.

Make someone a Mod

I'll do it. No responsibilities, though, just give me the user title and the ability to administer discipline to users across the board.

Last week I dreamed I was a forethumb forty blocks long with a merman's tail and piranha teeth living in the dirty shallows alongside an oil rig subsisting on meager runoff of a lazy crew. It was a good life even though I didn't get a lot because the men didn't concern themselves with my well-being and in turn I fed on their careless pollution, thinking it to e a mutually beneficial arrangement, but their country - I don't know where they were from, just that they were in the ocean and I enjoyed it - the land they came from tightened their environmental regulations and in turn the company who sent them reduced staffing and delegated responsibility in a burdensome fashion to the remaining few. I saw less runoff and I fed less, I understood their plight but I had to consider my needs and I wasn't going to put up with it. I flopped my body up onto the platform and devoured the crew, licking my teeth clean of their blood and grinding their skulls to dust between my molars.

I'm not sure why you want to kill hipsters in particular. They're a fully benign social phenomenon. You're either immature and uncertain of where you fit in your high school's social landscape, or you have a chip on your shoulder. I had a friend who despised hipsters, but if you asked him what group or clique he considered himself belonging to you couldn't get a straight answer. I also knew someone who had a problem with them, and if you asked him what it was he'd tell you about his father who introduced him to Elliot Smith growing up before imitating his suicide.

If we're to determine what exists in reality, we require a category for things which do not. Non-existence is a necessary, if imaginal, realm for non-realities.

What do you frown upon?
Zanick
motherfucker
[my p.a. supernal goa]
Poor hygiene. Flatulence and any discussion or joking about it. Unfortunate individuals who seek to inflict themselves on others without seeking solutions first. People who demonstrate a lack of understanding but speak with authority. Republicans.
As much as I hate to admit it, addicts. I believe addiction is an issue which belongs to healthcare exclusively, but I deal with addicts on a daily basis in my position and often I find they're supremely irritating. I can recognize that it's because they have a problem that extends far beyond my convenience, but when I'm at my job it's easy to overlook this as I put my own stress first.

MK-ULTRA was only a smaller subset of activities that encompass a secretive, cult-like intelligence community with no accountability to the public. Radical movements of the 1960's may have exposed some of their work, but the vast majority went unseen by citizens and even if they say they discontinued this, it doesn't just go away. It can't be reversed: think of the blond who swam halfway and turned back to the island - it only made sense to complete their work in some areas, if it were possible to do so quickly. The best option, of course, would be to resume with a new layer of obscurity to shield us from their impact.

I don't think I could do it, but if you find you're able to stomach the act, you could take the money and make meaningful contributions to the fight against gun violence - tens of thousands of children would be saved in just a few years if you sacrifice only one.
