I can't imagine jail time for this, but then I also can't imagine what it's like to go through life losing your child and knowing it's your fault.

To me, that would be literal hell to live with every day. No amount of jail time would come close to matching that torment.

Funny how she has already denounced Trump years ago. She has never liked him, endorsed him, or approved of him. There is video of her shit talking him to her parents and managers.

Shitty as it may sound, and as broken as the US political system is, our votes do count. Just not as much as they should.

We need to vote Democrat until we have a viable option further left or that the right starts moving left to pull in voters forcing the Dems to go even further left. The more of us turn out and vote the more the Republican party is going to need to concede if they want to keep getting elected. I'm in a blue state so while my vote may not be the deciding factor I will still cast it for a left candidate so those on the right that do count the votes know that I want progressive policies and that they don't represent me.

I'd really like to see third parties focus on the local governments and build enough of a base that they can start competing at the state and national level. But sadly we aren't there yet. We need to build that local movement first before voting third party in the presidential election makes sense.

I genuinely didn't think someone else was positioned to take on the campaigning. I'm glad I was wrong.

Nice! I have a weird mental block to using stickers. "If I use it, then I won't have it when I want to put it somewhere else."

I like the paddle bottle openers. They are easy and quick to use and don't take up much space at all by the bar.

I went to work one day at Disneyland. And a truck took 4 parking spots, right at the front. The lot was packed, people were parking at the end of the rows not even in spots. I drive a very small car. My hood fit under their bumper so I parked in front of them in just one of the spots they took.

I came back to a nasty note on how they paid for 2 spots (but took 4) and how much of an asshole I was for parking in the only spot I could.

I collect bottle openers from breweries I've been to. It's less about the thing and more about the going places. The collection is nice, but it could disappear in an instant and I wouldn't really care since I still got to go to all those places and try their beer.

Damn straight. I always wanted to do that, man. And I think if I were a dictator I could hook that up, too; 'cause chicks dig dudes with countries.

For "She was just 17" Paul McCartney was only 21 when that song came out and was dating a 17 year old then. Might have written it when he was 20 and the age of consent in Britain in that time was 16. That's only 3 or 4 years age difference. I don't get weird vibes from that. The Beatles were young when they started.

Neil Sedaka's "Happy Birthday Sweet Sixteen" is one that gives me the strangest vibes.

Eh, I need to find time to fit whatever request came in to my schedule.

It's got a hell of a datacenter.
