But that would require vulnerability and investing yourself in a community ๐Ÿ˜ซ

I've only seen him say he should have won the 2020 election. Not seen him out and out say he should currently be in his third term. Now obviously many of us know that's what he wants and that's what he has meant. But him saying it explicitly gives us even more explicit proof of his goals

No, I do not think Trump should have 3 terms.

If people are concerned about whether or not I support Trump having a third term, they can simply ask rather than making an assumption. But honestly I don't really care if random strangers on the internet perfectly understand my political stance.

It's pretty crazy. I could maybe understand if they felt like they had an obligation to accept his invite and be there. But they clearly were so excited to be there and to meet him. Wild

Rep Green was escorted out of the chamber shortly after, so share this photo far and wide so everyone can see.

Trump just admitted this should be his THIRD term.

Also slowly working my way through Tom's Crossing, and I would describe it as the best slog of a novel I've read. When I'm reading it, it's great. When I'm not it just feels so daunting.

Becoming more acquainted with Nabokov and Borges and both are quickly rising towards the top of my list. Others are Donna Tartt, Lydia Davis, and Danielewski.

I FULLY convinced myself that this was the case. And I was experiencing intense anxiety (even though these people are not personal friends, but I respect them). Today more people texted saying they hadn't heard anything and were still interested in meeting. Instant relief.

Didn't get a response all day from anyone. When I say my paranoia went through the roof. I fully convinced myself that I had somehow without memory unintentionally made someone uncomfortable or had said something disagreeable and that the rest of the group had decided to no longer include me.

I've been part of a philosophy club that meets twice a week. Haven't heard anything since last month so I started wondering if we were still meeting. Then I started getting a little paranoid. That I had been excluded. I texted the organizer and didn't receive a response. Then texted the whole group.

I don't know. It wasn't wearing a fashionable winter coat so I don't care

On the surface, this is not my kind of game at all (grid turn-based combat). But I trusted Edmund McMillan and boy has it paid off. There's so much variety in the gameplay.

Success! New copies of this cost over 300 dollars (it is out of print). This copy was just under a hundred. There is some occasional light highlighting, but otherwise this is in incredible condition.
