Ack! I forgot this thread existed. :D Yes, Amazon is wonderful! Ordering from me directly is only really cost-efficient for everyone if you're in Canada, and Amazon probably ships faster. Also, if you purchase it from Amazon, please leave a review if you like it! Here's my own Princess Ninjas enjoyi...

*hums* It's been a while...

... but:

The 80's. All of it.

Public Policy Polling found Deez Nuts, created by an Iowa teen, had the support of 3 percent of voters. The Green Party's Stein received 2 percent, the same as deceased gorilla Harambe.

I don't precisely recall the WHY of this dream, the impetus that got the main plot kicked off, but for whatever reason high-school me began transitioning to female. I changed my name and even got ID in the name of Lily White (I was very pale), and I was happy that apparently HRT caused my then-modes...

TIL God is just so wacky.

One of my (former) Facebook friends described Trump as "a little rough around the edges" and "only against ILLEGAL immigration", whereas Hillary was stealing the presidency high atop a pile of literal corpses.

People shouldn't be in charge of voting for things.

So, I'm trying to understand the last two weeks of American politics.

The 2016 Democratic party just became the 1981 Republican party, and the 2016 Republican party just became Ayn Rand fanfiction? Am I close?

America!

Trump has been relatively careful with his words, saying racist-sounding things as opposed to actually racist things for a while.

The majesty of that sentence really made my morning.

It could be an angry hug.

I call it "The Mittens Effect".

31% of people polled about Mitt Romney's speech said it made them more likely to vote for Trump.
Only 20% said it made them less likely to do so. But 43% said his speech made no difference to them at all.

So what is your option for getting rid of the deficit without cutting essential programs or increasing tax revenue?

In any case, Bernie's economic plan does NOT help the deficit at all. It is 100% accounted for by new government programs: free college, single-payer health care, and the like. Bernie has absolutely no motivation to actually create a sustainable budget - - in the first four years, because he thinks...

Comprehensive analysis of Bernie's tax plan. Thanks for this. I don't think I'm against higher taxes per se, but the fact that Bernie has spent all that extra money already without addressing the deficit is extremely worrying to me. Bernie raises capital gains tax from 15% to 54% and then spends al...

Comprehensive analysis of Bernie's tax plan. The proposal would raise taxes at every income level, but high-income taxpayers would face the biggest increases, both in dollar amount and as a percentage of income. Overall, the plan would raise tax burdens by an average of nearly $9,000, thereby lower...

Dstillery tracks caucus-goers by their cel phones. Dstillery found some interesting things about voters. For one, people who loved to grill or work on their lawns overwhelmingly voted for Trump in Iowa, according to Phillips. There was some pretty unexpected characteristics that came up too. "...

I can't help but appreciate the show. It gets better and better. At some point one has to wonder, is it all staged like those wrestling matches?

I have had that happen several times through online submission processes, even with the whole 'aaaaaaand here's where it got CC'd to my own inbox, complete with time and date'. Nothing happened until I went directly to the faculty directors. Then, amazingly, it got done THE NEXT DAY. Incredible how ...

"I'm sick of liars... I'm voting Sociopath 2016, because he has different lies!"

I'm reminded of the episode where Homer gets caught in a lie, and he just keeps watching everything spiral out of control until people get shot and killed in front of him, and he bellows "STOP! THIS HAS GONE ON JUST LONG ENOUGH!"

Fortunately it's impossible for people to feel differently about other people after four years of getting to know them.

Last night was another really, really LONG dream, that really seemed to wander all over like crazy but it did have one single over-arching plot, which can best be summed up as: My best friend is a beautiful girl (we were teenagers, which is where a LOT of my dreams tend to take place, chronologicall...

Some ridiculously epic "everything in the fridge plus chicken" curry. It's spicy enough that it counts as my cardio workout for the day, too.

If Sanders wraps around, is someone a moderate again if they propose ending private ownership of land and fixed structures, eliminating corporations that allow individuals to own unequal and/or individually transferrable shares of a business, such that only worker cooperatives, consumer cooperative...

Hillary Clinton wins the presidency...

People who live off bread and circuses are hard to convert to the idea of self reliance and personal liberty I fear, some I think you can reach with "America f yeah!" or "blaming the other" which is why Trump makes things interesting. Eh. Look, I believe that yes, sometimes the ...

And tonight I get to spar with him!

I mean, I've been sparring with him for the last year, but now that he's won the belt he's going to be a lot goofier and a lot more fun... which means I'm probably in a lot of trouble.

Vancouver, BC, Canada. As seen on the Olympics.

Long story short: My father left being a police officer and transitioned to paramedic because he wanted to actually help people.

Roasted red pesto. So-o-o-o-o good. The sauce was so dark it was more like black sauce with some red bits. Everyone wolfed it down except Phee who says it's too wierd and sweet (and all those roasted and dried and carmelized tomatoes and onions and peppers and garlic really do make for a sweet sauce...

You know what happens when the odds ar stacked against you? You lose. That's what it means when the odds aren't in your favor. I loathe very few things more than this "boo-hoo poor me, can't win so I shouldn't even try" mentality. It stands in direct opposition to the best features of Hum...
