I walked past a dry cleaners at 3am, and the sign read "Sorry, we're closed." You don't have to be sorry. It's 3am, and you're a dry cleaners. It would be ridiculous for me to expect you to be open.

I'm not sure if you're serious, but Hinckley was locked in a psychiatric hospital for 37 years prior to his release. Not exactly scot-free. And his delusions about Jodie Foster have been in long-standing remission. He's actually been psychiatrically stable for many years. He simply shot the wrong guy. If he had shot anyone but the president, he would've been released decades ago. I'm not a Hinckley apologist or anything, but I do like to correct misinformation about mental illness when I see it. Carry on with the critique of Donald, though, because that guy actually is irremediably mentally ill.

I think acid *may* have contributed to them seeing whales breeching all around them.

Good. Surfing sucks. Don't try it. That goes for everybody.

I am nervous about sharks too, but what are you gonna do, just not surf? I don't think so.

Since when did the Holy Shit thread become Faces of Death? Fuck yall.

As a psychologist who works with people with serious mental illness, serious drug and alcohol addiction, and criminal justice involvement -- believe me, things can get better. The first step is finding a professional that you click with, for therapy, support, and meds as needed. Those work. The second step is doing something -- ANYTHING -- that gets you moving and active outside the house (walks, exercise, fishing, shopping, picking up trash, volunteering, driving, whatever. Third step is curbing the drinking. Get AA or another support system in place to help with that. Fourth step is reaching out to friends and family, even if you think they will be annoyed or judgmental. You won't be asking them to carry all of your burdens, but instead to help support you in smaller and separate ways. Ask for specific things you need -- uber eats card, a daily or weekly text, watching a movie on Amazon party mode, playing games on the phone, an advocate to help you exercise, recipes, whatever. Put things in your calendar that you look forward to, and see if you can do them with others. You can't deal in generalities. You have to get specific right now. Meals you want, movies you want, people you want, etc. Those aren't in any strict order. You just need to do each of them, because you actually ARE important and the world and Surly is better with you in it. You are kicking ass RIGHT NOW because you are surviving shit that others aren't dealing with. It's gonna be fucking awesome when you come out on the other side, stronger and ready for anything else this world wants to throw at you.

Domestic violence, assault, drugs, guns -- all fine. But two moms? No deal. Stay classy, Sooners.

Etc is my favorite. Goddamn gays are ruining etc for the whole country.

They did say June would be a big recruiting month for us. I just figured they were talking about 2023...

Alonzo Mourning is already pleading with the refs for you to take back this statement.
