Are you more accustomed to the tropical weather in Scotland?

Scotland actually has a pretty mild climate. It pretty rarely goes below freezing.

This is in the Central Lowlands of course. The Highlands are a little different, but less than 5% of the population lives there.

Yeah, right. Next you’re going to tell me that English villages aren’t filled with murderous psychopaths trying to stay one step ahead of eccentric private investigators. This is exactly how conspiracy theories start.

It seems unnecessary to travel when I can learn everything about an entire culture by watching a 4-part mini-series. Plus, no matter how much weight I gain or much much I neglect my personal hygiene, my TV will never judge me. You can’t get that kind of unconditional love anywhere else.

Side-eye during the first 8 hours, or the "warm-up" period as I call it, is usually due to an unacceptable amount of viewing pauses. Do you have a full-stocked mini-fridge within arms reach of your sitting position?

Hope and heal … yeah, yeah, it’s all going to be the same. Honestly, I really hope that they’ll surpise me by getting their act together, but I think that it’ll just be the same crap and different administration. You could be optimistic and say that hey At least, thye got Dr Levine appointed as new health sec... but is that progress or just a token? Feels like pandering to me. One day in. Time wil tell.

Do you really think liberals would display an overblown emotional response to something mediocre?

Quinoa's pretty good though.

Anyway, I'd recommend this article about the Jan 6th insurrection and its connection to Qanon. It says something about our culture's understanding of itself when it can look at a hot shirtless guy who wears horns and screams about alien brainwaves while standing at the Speaker's desk and walk away with "white privilege" as an explanation.

Unironically though. It's best understood as a cult, and cults often appear in times of upheaval. Q exploded since the pandemic hit.

I'm seriously still in disbelief that so many people are STILL supporting Trump and Cruz after the past few weeks. I will tell you, the Bernie memes is a breath of fresh air after all the crap filling social media about the ridiculous things Trump was saying and claiming
