Once he turned me into a newt! . . . . . I got better.

MerXNT Dad, I’m a MerXNT!

Red, easily.

Yeah, some childhood stuff would suck but you could probably skip a good few grades. As you already (hopefully) know how to socialize by now, a lot of the childhood friend stuff seems pretty optional.

Dating would be really tricky through the early teenage years as I don’t know how I’d feel about girls my own physical age at that point.

Because I’m relatively older and would have insane future knowledge, I could absolutely rock in stocks and have enough money to actually effect change. (Eg, singelhandedly fund a massive Democrat turnout machine in the rustbelt for 2016.)

The hard part would be somehow connecting with my current group of friends whom I love to death and wouldn’t want to lose. They are the only thing that makes the blue pill tempting.

Came home drunk, re read this, was even more beautiful. Followed with many head bumps, kisses and belly rubs of varying tolerance.

Please give your fluff a solid “what’s up” head bump from me. Also, a similar head bump/nod/high five as appropriate to the wife for bringing your fluffer into your life!

Ahhhh, you choked me up a few times there but in a good way,

So sorry to read this. These adorable monsters win our hearts just to break them.

For whatever it’s worth, you’re doing the right thing and because you’re that kind of owner is probably why she wants to cuddle up with you when she’s feeling rotten.

I’ll allow it. Probably would’ve been happier on your chest/lap but FINE.

You monster!

“But I read a book written by one of the few people who were privileged enough to read and write, and things didn’t seem so bad!”

This is my stick. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

My stick is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.

Thank you, I appreciate the explanation. Being fairly physics ignorant I was wondering about that.

Twice a day.

Oooof, thus far we’ve avoided the drooling. Something to look forward to I guess…

Lucky! I was kind of impressed when Betty figured out she could hold her breath but it’s gotten slightly less funny over time.

I imagine so! She is not a fan and even after almost a year will try to hide her lil face from it etc.

Thanks! I make fun of her but she’s an absolute sweetheart, e.g., she hates her inhaler (will hold her breath, try to sneak away) but hasn’t once tried to bite or scratch.

Which is fair. She shall not be mocked!

In your head, what was the relationship between what I wrote and your response?

Man, if we’d stop fighting culture war issues, we’d have won the class war. But on the Left, we always take the bait.

I always think of it like, would we rather the North fought for abolition or should the North tried to rally around universal suffrage, gay marriage, trans rights and abolition, have no states join them and have the confederacy be almost every state and slavery not stop. Like, yup, it’d be nice if everyone was on the right page right away but cultural progress takes time. And Fox news goads the Left into fighting fights that the mainstream isn’t quite ready for yet.

Oh, I hadn’t looked for hockey on discord Say what you will about reddit, I do kinda miss r/canucks, the happiest group of sad folks on the internet!

Any suggestions for a discord newbie on finding hockey communities?
