Exactly. I’m pretty sure she’s a psychopath with a bunch of ties to some horrible people, but it beats the other psychopath who has a bunch of ties to horrible people that specifically want to kill me for the variety of ways in which I am not a suitable barefoot and pregnant housewife. Also she’s not aggressively geriatric with a stiff gait and a vacant stare and could just be completely bodied by catching a common cold.

With what we’re doing to the planet, “maggots” isn’t far off. Except that maggots can actually be useful in wound debridement.

Also there’s good odds they don’t get to choose their detail. The best of the best of the best probably get assigned to the standing POTUS and everybody else probably gets the runner-ups. So you could go into that career (probably years ago) wanting to protect and serve your country and all that martyr bullshit, and then because you got a 98% on your practicum while the other candidate got a 99% now you’re stuck getting sexually harassed by Trump for the rest of your career.

Oh yeah my fundie parents are both rocket scientists. Those dead Palestinian kids are paying off my nursing degree and I think about it just about every time it comes up. One of many, many reasons I no longer speak to them.

I was just thinking today that nothing has been more affirming to the masculine parts of my identity as how much of a little bitch I am when I catch even the slightest of colds.

This is what I’m saying. Shit ain’t going anywhere now bitches!

See this was kinda at the core of the question (but I wasn’t really able to articulate it at the time). What if someone was just a huge enough nerd that they were already walking around with some kind of reference sheet tattooed on?

I mean at that point I’d just take the pill straight! 🤣
