Mad World

That's why you have to have 2 minimum..to soften the blow.

I mentioned to his parents we should get brother and sister weenie dog puppies for Christmas. A not so subtle hint I drop daily around here.

One day it will work.

Heh...well my old girl picked this pup.... and just a few months before she went.
First and only time she did the front paw tippy tap thing.
Abused rescue shep/malamute.

And you should definitely drop those hints a little harder

It's difficult to fathom what kind of person would abuse a dog. Or anything for that matter.


I'm 7 or so episodes into The Witcher. Stunning at times. Thanks for the recommend.

The type of person who's wife and kids were heading into a domestic abuse shelter, and couldn't take their dog with them. Sad situation all around

Glad you're enjoying it... some great scenes and moments in there

I see. An all too common reality for many. The abuse cycle and alcoholism.

While the Temperance Movement had its flaws, it had a valid reason as well.


Did we have to go there, to get here or could it have happened without Prohibition being forced on Americans to its inevitable failure and enormous collateral damage?


That is a fine shrine to you pup. I like to think it was dogs that taught people what it was like to love fiercely and how to take joy from harsh life.

Depends on the why, I would suppose.



I mean, one of the arguments for weed prohibition was that it tempted white women to listen to jazz and hang out with African americans so...




Dealing with the underlying issues, both personal and society, that drive people to those extremes...

Might make some headway with destructive addictions that way, but people will have their own ways of blowing off steam.

Thank you... sorry don't even know what to add heh. She was a beautiful soul.

It was ignorance I think. Not malice. Excessive alcohol was all they knew.

They say it's generational. It skipped both my parents but I know I look down that potential daily.


Where does one cross over from enjoying to abusing?

I think that is where the line was when women in the 1800s decide they had, had enough and fought back to regain so semblance of control over their lives with drunk husbands to contend with.

I don't tolerate drunkenness generally speaking and have a line with anyone I allow in my presence.

People who lose control with drink, are always a liability and should be avoided.

Imagine people drinking that much whiskey all that time while working in less than safe conditions and coming home to a shit-stinking hovel, with 3-8 screaming children.

Hard pass.

It's like a slow grind to get people to accept common sense.

The girl above had to be declared an animal so that she could be removed from the woman that abused her, because they had no other way to do it.

It's not that people didn't know it was wrong, they were less the avenue in how to deal with it.


We slowly, slowly change things so that there are ways to meet these types of situations properly as both a country and a species.

That's how I see it.

When you're not having fun anymore



Haha known quite a few mean drunks, of both sex. One of those non-discriminatory things I've noticed...bar work and security in the past...yeah, you see em all.

What else...was there at the time? 12 hrs at work 6-7 days a week, the joys of industrialisation. Life expectancy of sweet fa and likely a few dead children (and quite possibly your spouse) in the process of making enough to keep that hovel.

Weird fucking world, sure we'll grow up eventually

Heh...reminds of an old friend. Hardcore Christian, father was a pastor, he was a youth group leader etc.

Went to India with his church group.

Upon his return, he was an utter atheist.

"No God would allow that"

A lot of it is ignorance sadly. Isolation from, and then demonisation of, let's many have a certain "self morale" stance on it...

Until they see children dying of starvation.
If the abuse of innocents causes not a blink...can their even be redemption?

Hey all.

Tonight I decided to jump in and say hi.

I relapsed with coffee and currently is drinking some coffee and on this thread.

I wonder any of you looking forward to winter season if you are in a location that have it? I know I am, just please no blizzard or deeply cold temperature, though. haha.

Heya X.

Could use one of those myself haha.

Warming up like a son of a bitch here, I see many beach days ahead.

There are at least 3 movies I've watched from India that rocked my faith to the foundation at the time.

My thoughts exactly. One of those...if I could go back in time and don't see that, I would.




Where you try to force your brain to forget and it just won't. It just sits there, in your vision..forever. Like the first moment you watched it.

I'm pretty sure I have some form of photographic memory. Which is why I am so careful of what I view and react poorly to having imagery forced on me I didn't choose.

Ah- makes sense with our last conversation then. Bloody copped a ban for that lol.

Think it's just proof we all have the capability.

Can certainly...not...be enjoyable.

Xlegic

Welcome back.

Beach days!

I think last time I went to a beach was like decade ago. Long time.

(hands a cup of e-coffee over to you.) ;p

There was the grind, and little else.


I knew one mean drunk in high school through friend and some others I knew, made poor choices while drinking. One had a very bad car crash which he survived and hurt none thankfully.


It generally pretty obvious who can't control themselves early on.

Not to say that the slow slide into alcohol addiction, isn't a reality.

I saw a great thread here a couple weeks back that addressed this issue..and I think it still isn't really clear where the line is.


I think it is when you lose control of yourself with alcohol on a regular basis and not just a few times, ever. Learning a lesson with alcohol is enough for most. A night vomiting or particularly brutal hangover, can see you swear off a particular type of alcohol, forever.


One of my high school best friends acted a fool on alcohol. I would watch her mildly amused and confused.

She was pregnant before the end of senior year.

She didn't drink much after that as I recall..but we went different direction shortly thereafter. He just turned..26.

If you're ever over this way, have to show you the good spots.
Be warned, Aussies beaches will spoil (almost) every other beach afterwards


*sculls it down like it held the antidote*

A bit off topic, full moon tonight.

I feel like wanting to take some of us to there then take some tours around craters and see whats there on the other side (the dark side of moon). And look at this Earth planet.

But one thing I want is doing the kangaroo hopping on surface of the moon. I imagine it'd be fun.

Oh we used to get quite messy, but it was (generally) in good fun. Friday/Sat when younger, or the hospitality workers weekend -monday/Tuesday lol.

But we also tended to look after each other - vomit and hungover was par for the course heh.

Course...I can't smell honey vodka without dry retching...that was one messy fucking birthday party.

Did catch up with one of my mates from then randomly a few years ago. DUI and drinking every night now. Shite is fucked, and honestly think a close friends suicide tipped him over that edge

we have just entered the the 3 days before full which from the x days the 3 days before and the 3 days after are our active phase of maximum advantage
or
the danger zone according to archer

I picked some art pictures from the Internet, then assigned these to some of yall ;)

That is some fine looking sand.

Oregon also has great sand. None of that tiny pebble thing.

Good morning.

The first pic link on my recent post was supposed to show a bene gesserit dressed in almost royal style but with a bit of armoured uniform which looked cool.

Alright, I'll stop.

I have a tendency to put together something that sometime I thought could be fun and cool, mainly happened due to my boredom with myself sometime.

Maybe sometime the put together stuff may be connected to past that seemingly recycles from time to time whenever I bring it up whether I'm aware or not.

I'm stopping thinking / feeling about past and future, then gonna try live in the now moment.

Have a good afternoon, all.
