Not only did they say the quiet part, they went ahead and pulled the cloak from the dagger. Every statement and action seems to be in blatant disregard of public perception on the international level. Diplomatic and otherwise.
I remember being utterly flabbergasted by how overtly things were happening when this all started. "The blood oath must be kept" was the best reason I had then.
Thanks to the less bullyable entities you mentioned some definitive action might finally be taken.
I feel like this micro-news-cycle and news fatigue thing is exactly what they've been counting on, seems like they legit think this will all eventually blow over. People will forget, get bored, or get distracted by something new....
I also feel like the attention has been sustained longer than they would have liked but they're so balls deep into murder that its too late for the pull out game
Congratulations! ...about the newborn, not the amount of poop (though that's also a good sign!)
I refuse to utter the word and summon more to my home (also shyguyblue got you covered)
My baby sister bought this for my kids, she's awesome and they love their aunt. She's fully entitled to the comeuppance she's dishing out 😅
Of the mess, no. But here's a pic of Satan's abomination...
It's basically tiny styrofoam balls that stick together, I think it's mostly static electricity holding it together. Once you open the package, and start manipulating the biodiversity hazard, it leaves little pieces of itself everywhere.
Much like herpes, and just as welcome. In my case, Satan was feeling extra cute so there was glitter mixed into the packaged santorum.
It's now day 6 after opening and I guarantee I'll find little purple and pink assholes around my house
This brand of positivity you're embodying is the most infectious one, and if I can feel it in your writing I imagine hearing it spoken from you would be some next level inspiration.
I've lost some people close to me over the years and what saddens me most is how I've forgotten so much about them beyond what they looked like. All of them except one....Gordon left behind audio recordings as his last messages to each of us in the group of friends.
Every time I hear his voice, it brings back so much about him that just can't be said. His cadence, intonation, and overall manner of speaking have helped keep an entire person in my memory.
I wonder if that's an option for you. I can say from experience that the lasting impact of audio is...powerful. Being able to actually hear my friend...i can imagine him speaking to me, and it's in his voice because his voice is not forgotten.
Your family hearing your thoughts, in your voice.....and being able to hear you speak long after your time....man, I can't think of a better way to highlight your true personality and make it a lasting one.
Remember when just about every government employee was carrying around a BlackBerry device for official business?
Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Can confirm. That sparkly styrofoam stuff became a huge mess approximately 5min after opening.
Kudos to your foresight, and congratulations for the free time you saved by not cleaning up this pink and purple bullshit
