I swear to god this global whack-a-mole trying to smack nazis.

I agree with you. But for the rest of us that can see the shit fest of destruction coming, what’s going to happen after the next 3 years?

Is it all going to be straight 'reconstruction ’ or a chance for something new to replace?

It’s pretty rare for a “deep” friendship to work in spite of external changes (having kids, moving for work, politics) AND internal changes (generational experience, level of maturity, dealing with personal stressors)

Instead of looking for a nostalgic ideal of friendship, I think its more realistic to just make a goal to place yourself in new social activities that can give you fun moments of human connection.

Honestly, at this point in my middle age, it mainly comes down to: Do we have anything in common? Cool. Can we have a comfortable conversation beyond small talk? Great. Are we both willing to make time to hang? Awesome. Anything “deeper” can come later and organically IF the connection lasts. I can count on my hand how many “deep” friendships remain in my life.

Exactomundo.

Ah. I think his brilliant plan is to replace Spain with Argentina.

My God, never saw the day I’d be happy about something to do with Chicago cops.

Meh. I kinda like his version.

Agree. Sickened and transfixed. Like the scum bag said “can’t make this shit up”

Why do I get the feeling this was one of many non public corrupt decisions this man made? Apologies if this is not the case, but our shitty leader in US will have an iceberg of maleficence on his coat tails.
