  1. Same here. I prefer to have a female doctor for the same reason. I find that the temperament and ability to do their job with more compassion is better than that of their male counterparts on average. We obviously have some male doctors on this board who are people I would trust, but overall women have been the best doctors I have had in my own experiences.
  2. I am going to need to confirm with the Flat Earth King, Kyrie Irving, on just how flat it is.
  3. Worthless trash human being comes back to, and you’re not going to believe this, confirm that he is doubling down on being an ignorant doddering fool who supports our new racists and wannabe nazis in charge. He will one day make the world a better place when he no longer is confined to his mortal coil.
  4. There might be some folks in a few Pacific locales that want a word with you.
  5. I sent a voice message on Tuesday to the mother of my ex-girlfriend thanking her for what she did five years ago on the last night I drank. I told her that if she is able to do so to tell her daughter thank you for kicking me to the curb as that likely saved my life. Hopefully one day I can tell her myself on the phone or in-person. Her mother is an amazingly strong woman and Christian (yes there are a few good ones out there) who thought I could do better and has never stopped helping or encouraging me. Every single day I attempt to make the best of it that I can. Now obviously some days are just going to be completely out of sync. We all deal with that regularly. The difference that I tell myself is that I do not need to ever again run to a bottle and check out on life. The desire to drink died the day I quit. One of the things for me is I took that laser-like focus I have with being on the spectrum and used it to form good habits instead of something that was destroying me bit by bit. The only part of this that sucks is that 1st year saying goodbye to my aunt a year and a day after I stopped drinking. I had to see her incapacitated on a FaceTime call and say goodbye to her while I was in Vermont celebrating one year sober. I will forever think of how alcohol robbed me of her and her children of their mom and the grandchildren who she was in the beginning stages of showering with love. She was a nurse for three decades and knew better, but her and her longtime alcoholic boyfriend just kept drinking. She stopped a month before she died, but it was too late. If any of you reading this feel like alcohol is taking over your life please reach out to someone on this thread or someone in-person you trust. The alcohol never loses. You do not have to let it win though. You can make a stand and say no more. Perhaps it will not be as painless as it was for me to walk away, but do it if you cannot function without drinking. Your friends and loved ones will thank you for doing that.
  6. My favorite movie I have ever watched outside of the movie Patton is Jojo Rabbit. I saw it the night it came out and got to listen to Taika Waititi talk to us after the movie ended. He took questions and explained the movie and why he did it, which was cool. That was October 2019 when he was sounding the alarm about feeling a sense of frustration that he was making a movie to remind people about the nazis. If you have ever seen him talk you know he is a pretty lighthearted guy that is universally loved by the folks who work with him. He was pissed having to trample on Nazi ideology again almost eight decades after they got beaten senseless in WWII. Here we are confronting homegrown idiots now. I am sure they will all peacefully denounce their beliefs once they hear some reason and common sense from those of us who aren’t wannabe nazis.
  7. It saddens me greatly to see what this orange clown and his band of death cult followers have done. Hardly unique to see this kind of person in power throughout history, but you would never have expected it to happen in America, but here we are. Our soon to be allies in name only are hopefully putting together contingency plans to deal with us for at least four years, if not longer.
  8. You are a trash human being who should be completely embarrassed to say what you just did.
  9. ISWYDT We are absolutely Fubar’d. I have never been more angry and embarrassed to be an American than I was today. The right words for today escape me. None would be nice though. 77 million people wanted today and got it. Elon Musk would have gotten beaten to death 80 years ago by every single American for what he did today and their orange cult leader would have been a laughingstock, but not today.
  10. Not a New Yorker and I am going to ask you to not tell me to shut up. I do not say that to anyone. Really do not like to be labeled anything other than being an American, especially since I do not live in New York anymore. The state tribalism thing is just more odd to me the older I get.
  11. Because they are COWARDS who love being part of this death cult.
  12. When the person in charge is white trash he tends to associate with other white trash. Dana White fits the bill on that perfectly. He personifies what this country has become.
  13. Don’t talk about my senator like this! Also I have no idea what the names are of either senator here.
  14. Snoop is not surprising. He will do a show if you throw enough cash his way. Heck he’s a Lakers fan, but if he does a show in Boston he’ll put a Celtics jersey on. Money means more than principles because if any of these performers had any they would have declined to show up for this farce.
