[22:32] IsambardPrince She does not like these eyedrops. [22:32] IsambardPrince She's tried to scratch me a couple times. [22:33] MinceR good [22:34] IsambardPrince I had to grab tweezers and break apart and take off that garbage that came off and solidified near her nose. [22:34] IsambardPrince She was not happy about that either. [22:37] IsambardPrince MinceR, It's Christmas week, so.... [22:38] IsambardPrince Apparently the Democrats have decided to let Trump appoint 7 more judges. [22:38] IsambardPrince :) [22:38] IsambardPrince Maybe they gave him an Outback Steakhouse gift card too. [22:38] IsambardPrince As a stocking stuffer. [22:39] IsambardPrince They should be running the Senate full time and getting down to ZERO openings on the bench and tell the Republicans "What deal?" [22:39] IsambardPrince We're about to head for 4 years of pain and suffering, the least they can do is make sure Trump can't cause more damage than he already will. Apparently they can't do that. [22:40] MinceR well, if joe I isn't willing to Official Act his way out of this shit nor to step down and let his successor do it, they might as well give up entirely [22:41] MinceR or maybe they're planning to let some spooks take care of it [22:48] IsambardPrince MinceR, There were already a few false flag operations to make it look like Trump was in danger. [22:48] MinceR so? [22:48] IsambardPrince Including one of his January 6th rioters who apparently had a change of heart and got caught near his golf club. [22:48] IsambardPrince This is like the Nazis and the Polish radio station bit, you know. [22:48] IsambardPrince Only far more sophisticated. [22:49] MinceR not really [22:49] MinceR cheeto hitler and his would-be successors remain highly vulnerable to many us military units [22:49] MinceR which answer to the supreme commander [22:49] IsambardPrince He's talking about purging the generals next year. [22:50] IsambardPrince And implementing a personal loyalty oath to Trump himself instead of the Constitution. [22:50] MinceR if joe I did what was necessary, cheeto hitler wouldn't even be around next year [22:50] IsambardPrince That happened with the German military under the Nazis. [22:50] MinceR and by the decision of cheeto hitler's puppets on the "supreme court", joe I would be well within his rights to order such an Official Act [22:50] IsambardPrince Few people ever act against a dictator because bad things can happen to them and their families. [22:51] MinceR if they won't act against the dictator, bad things _will_ happen to them and their families [22:51] IsambardPrince Even when they don't do anything. Like what happened to Rommel. [22:52] IsambardPrince Right, do something and fail, you die. [22:52] IsambardPrince Don't do something, maybe they still murder you. [22:53] IsambardPrince What a wonderful country so full of options.

[23:05] IsambardPrince Dollars spend as quickly as pennies used to. [23:06] IsambardPrince When he took office, you could buy 60 eggs for less than $5. [23:06] IsambardPrince Now 18 of them cost me $7 today. [23:07] IsambardPrince Also, I've stockpiled hundreds of pounds of coffee. [23:07] IsambardPrince They like to print expiration dates a few months after you buy it, to discourage that. [23:07] IsambardPrince But the truth is that it stays good for years if it's vacuum packed and stored correctly. [23:08] MinceR well, then all they have to do is either not vacuum pack it correctly, not store it correctly, or both.

[23:24] IsambardPrince MinceR, I've been like this ever since 2020 when I couldn't get enough cat food. [23:25] IsambardPrince Luckily my mom had a few bags that her cat wouldn't eat and she gave me some so mine didn't run out and starve. [23:25] IsambardPrince Now I always have at least 80-100 pounds dry cat food on hand. [23:26] IsambardPrince Then they had some at the school that the company was passing out as a "cat food bank" while the store didn't have any. [23:26] IsambardPrince I mean, we were close to having nothing to feed the cats. [23:31] IsambardPrince Then Element says Action|Toast Update [23:31] IsambardPrince Yes, I would love to update my action toast. [23:31] IsambardPrince That sounds delightful. [23:32] MinceR :> [23:32] MinceR but you can't update your Action Toast [23:32] MinceR you can update either your Action or your Toast. [23:32] IsambardPrince Well, I love Toast, but it would mean skipping this round of Action. [23:32] MinceR or maybe you need to binary OR together Action and Toast to find out what you can update [23:33] IsambardPrince But if you're non-binary you can do both? [23:33] MinceR if you're non-binary maybe you just can't determine what you can update [23:34] IsambardPrince Or like the binars from Star Trek. [23:34] IsambardPrince This is 10, and this is 01. [23:34] IsambardPrince :D [23:34] MinceR any relation to Bynarr? [23:34] IsambardPrince Oh. [23:35] IsambardPrince Meh.
