Editor’s Note: Last Autumn Glibertarians.com community member and writing contributor Ev was very seriously injured. While Ev has mentioned his ongoing struggles in comments, this is a stand-alone update on where things stand.
I have started a GoFundMe for my difficulties. I want to write a whole article about what’s been happening but it would require multiple installments and I’m afraid would touch on novel length. Here is what I wrote for the GoFundMe.
On September 22, 2019 I was hit by a car. I was in a coma for six weeks. I shattered my skull, broke four ribs and my shoulder blade. With pride, I started teaching again…before I really should have. That had to end.
I suffer from extreme auditory hallucinations, intense anxiety, and constant problems with my memory. My skull had to be put back together with titanium wiring. Putting all of this together, I struggle with figuring out what is real and what isn’t. I am still in rehab and am desperately trying my best to get back to work and look at the world with happiness and triumph.
I am asking for money to ease the struggle on my loved ones for taking care of me. I want to conquer this and get back to being me, but I am only halfway through the process of recovery, according to my. I am also out of money and need to find ways to be able to pay for help and medication.
I am not a person who asks for help. But now I need to. There is no other option. Please donate whatever you can so I can try my best to recover and not be as useless as I am right now. I want to prove to everyone that I can get up, recover and prosper.
Thank you for your time and I hope you can help me during this incredibly strenuous era in my life. I no longer need surgery, so there isn’t a strict timeline on this assistance. In order to be solvent before I can get another job, I estimate that I will need about $2000. I will be honest and say that I don’t know how much I will need because I don’t know how long my brain will be this intransigent. Simply talking to me, especially by those who have gone through brain injuries, is another profound way of helping.
Thank you all. I am not afraid to look this angry bull in the eye as it snorts and starts kicking its feet. I need to do this. Your aid helps in any way that you can give it.
I LIKE BEING FIRST BECAUSE IT IS SO MUCH FUN IT IS MORE FUN THAN KILLING WILD GAME IN THE FORREST BECAUSE MAN IS THE MOST DANGEROUE ANAMAL OF ALL TO BE FIRST AT SOMETHING GIVES ME THE MOST THRILLING EXPERENCE IT IS EVEN BETTER THAN GETTING YOUR ROCKS OFF WITH A GIRL THE BEST PART OF IT IS THAE WHEN I DIE I WILL BE REBORN IN PARADICE AND ALL THEI HAVE BEEN FIRST BEFORE WILL BECOME MY SLAVES I WILL NOT GIVE YOU MY NAME BECAUSE YOU WILL TRY TO SLOI DOWN OR ATOP MY COLLECTIOG OF SLAVES FOR MY AFTERLIFE.

You must be one of Evan’s hallucinations.
this seems I’ll advised, given the topic.
How am I supposed to know this isn’t the next Sugarfree article? Like, am I supposed to stop and read it first?
Yes.
Oh I get it. You’re all just mad that once again I was first.
See, this is why I’ll never get a cat butt. How can one compete with that?
You turn our standard arguments against left and right back on us and poke our sensitive spots. That may sometimes seem like trolling, it may even sometimes be trolling, but it is entirely within the rules of civilized interaction, and even useful in pointing out areas that we may be rationalizing. That doesn’t deserve cat butts.

So… how’s third doing?
Third hasn’t had their bottom surgery.

God take care of you,
Hope you feel better soon pal. sounds like a lot of work ahead, the good thing is you don’t have much of a choice besides keeping on kicking ass.
I donated.
When will your girlfriend be coming by to thank me?
Feel better man.
I hit the GFM again, thank Trump bucks, Stay safe so you can make it to at least 2 Yusefs in age………

Best wishes for a speedy and full recovery, Evan.
Best of luck, Evan! It’s a tough thing when your own brain decides to play tricks on you.
If seizures become part of the new you, feel free to email me myhandle @ proton.
Keep on keeping on!
I want to thank you for getting this type of thing going, it shows how much we all give a crap about each other, I know I’m alive because of your assistance, and am happy to help Evan, or any of us really. Bad time happen, we can help….
Now you can win all the “ya see this scar?” Contests!
Best wishes.
Good luck, Evan. You’ll be back teaching brash and impudent Korean kids English in no time.
We’re all rooting for you to at least make it to two Evans old!
I don’t think that even qualifies for social security…
Maybe 3 Evans? 2.5 if you’re stingy.
That was before the ‘Rona doomed us all..now, the average lifespan has to have dropped dramatically.
Meanwhile, in Hong Kong…
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-05-26/hong-kong-police-say-protesters-have-started-blocking-roads
Y’know, it’s a crying shame we blew our war load on shitholes in the Middle East.
While I generally abhor war as a matter of principle, going to war on behalf of Hong Kong would be a zillion time more moral and ethical than the nonsense we’ve engaged in for 70 years. Of course that won’t happen and Hong Kong is very quickly going to become just another ChiCom dump. I regret that I never went there before this started happening.
And I echo a comment I heard somewhere else: “Let’s trade all of our Commies for all of Hong Kong’s freedom lovers. Everyone wins!”
All of our universities would be empty if we did that.
…
Ok, sounds good to me.
No, the kids from HK would fill them.
Fine with me,
Will the professors turn them into commies? I mean they weren’t supposed to Americans into commies either but they did…
sad but true
If living under the control of the PRC didn’t make them communist, nothing will.
“Professor is asshoe! Don’t trust xer!”
I can imagine much better arguments being made for relocating Hong Kong dissidents to a freshly-built Hong Kong simulacrum in the United States than the billions we wasted trying to terraform Iraq or Afghanistan.
Utilize the newly emptied SF for that purpose?
The New New Territories.
SugarFree took a dump? There are no needles, poop or homeless in San Francisco? Pls clarify.
Riffing on the trade commies for Hong Kongers. Of course the bums would still be there.
Hypothesis: Bush II did much more damage to this country than a score of Democrat presidents could hope to do.
Agreed; specifically the War in Iraq. Afghanistan, as big of a clusterfuck as it’s turned out to be, at least had popular support and made some semblance of sense. Iraq was just… WTF? What did these clowns have to do with 9/11? That action has caused so much downstream disaster.
Well according to Jeff Tucker it was under him that the Social Distancing was developed. But he didn’t create the income tax or Social Security or the Department of Education…
Iraq, Afghanistan, TSA, bank bailouts, patriot act, giving us Obama. You’re not wrong.
I had a rabid lefty co-worker when Bush the Lesser was President. I had no problems with her at the time b/c I would just insult Bush. It was all true, I didn’t have to ever lie, the man was worthless.
Also, if I made her laugh, she’d help me with VBA. I hate VBA.
VBA? Vagina, Balls association?
That sounds like more fun than the real VBA.
Put in what I could. Hope things start looking up for you soon.

Twitter promoting mail-in ballots:
The social media giant targeted two tweets the president posted on Tuesday in which he contended without evidence that mail-in voting would lead to fraud and a “Rigged Election.”
Under the tweets, Twitter posted a link which read “Get the facts about mail-in ballots” and which took users to a notice calling the claims “unsubstantiated”, citing reporting by CNN, the Washington Post and other media.
“Trump falsely claimed that mail-in ballots would lead to ‘Rigged Election’,” the notice contended.
“However, fact-checkers say there is no evidence that mail-in ballots are linked to voter fraud.”

CS’ comment above says you can.
The thing that gets me is that Gender swapping is old as fuck. Brewster’s Million had a gender swap in the 1920s and a race swap in 1980s so it is not like this is some brand new idea…
The people making these movies can’t remember history.
They can’t even make good movies.
Either they forgot or they think they can use their old “make a straight white male character gay, black or a woman” shtick to virtue signaling for woke points in this current year and to rile up people online in order to get attention and to pressure critics to give them good reviews.
And turning straight characters gay is an old idea too though but until recently they couldn’t admit they were doing that. See Little Caesar…
Are you saying pizza is gay?
Only if it’s fruity.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Caesar_(film)#Possible_LGBT_subtext
The writing has to be decent. Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House has been remade with Tom Hanks, and Ice Cube but the Cary Grant version is the one that is remembered.
The idea of “decent writing” these days take a shit script but have the main character not be a straight white man.
The decent writing is on HBO.
And pretty much has been since they started producing their own material back in the ’80s/’90s. Barbarians At The Gate, The Incredible True Story Of The Texas Cheerleader Alleged Murdering Mom, and The Pentagon Wars are all beautiful examples of that.
I think the thing that pisses me off the most about modern scripts is the pacing. There’s not a chance to develop an emotional connection to the characters because the plot moves along so quickly that the movie is almost over by the time you get to know them.
Nuance and character development are tools of the patriarchy.
Ironic that the pace gets super fast as the films themselves get longer.
And the fast pace is to prevent the audience from getting bored and not to think about the plot holes too much. Oh and the Chinese need to watch these movies so don’t anything that can’t be easily translated like dialogue…
Recent seasons of Nu (Doctor) Who takes this to ridiculous extremes. One reason it’s practically unwatchable.
Haven’t seen it, but I have watched a lot of reviews by YouTube nerds about it. It sounds horrible, like new Star Trek and Star Wars, which I also haven’t seen.
The people in charge of these franchises are imbeciles. All they had to do was play along with the mythos (-es?) of the franchises, and nobody would’ve cared. Instead, they decided to take a few steaming dumps on them. Got Woke, Going Broke. And it couldn’t happen to anyone more deserving.
Get fucked, Jar Jar Abrams, get fucked Kathleen Kennedy, get fucked – anyone on CW, get fucked, get fucked. SugarFree could write way better stuff than you put out. CPRM could, too. Hell, I could, and I suck. Learn to write, rot in hell, or quit your job and do something useful for society, like cleaning toilets.
Explosions and CGI sells in foreign markets much more that character development and complex stories.
Cable television is now the market for story-telling.
Who has a television?
old people (boomers), you know, the people with money.
Present!
/not a boomer, even
/not a boomer, even
Yup. Got plenty TV’s, too.
Streaming is now filling this market as well.
The idea that some truths are universal is derided as hopelessly outdated. But storyline elements are supposed to be universally appealing regardless of ethnicity or gender or sexuality or whatever. They’ll harvest the Disney message but dispense with the Disney princess, at least if she’s white. Well, okay.
Things are constantly evolving and changing but MY ideas are not supposed to considered hopelessly outdated reactionary backwardness by the people of the future as that is for the ideas that I don’t like.
Cary Grant was in two gender swapped remakes in 1940: His Girl Friday and My Favorite Wife. Don’t recall that being a big deal or regarded as some grand statement on gender.

I find it interesting that Roddenberry’s utopian communist vision and slobbering over LBJ is now loved among cynics and “reactionaries”. I mean that is the problem with the “permanent revolution” as everything old must be smashed.
Star Trek has always been trendy Hollywood Left Liberalism. In the 1960s it was slobbering over how great American was under LBJ who was going to end racism and poverty and bring about utopia. TNG was filled with 1980s PCness and the trend among the Hollywood Left was how Nixon and Reagan destroyed the utopia that LBJ promised us. Discovery and Picard are the Hollywood Left going Woke SJW and going “wait a minute… wasn’t LBJ a straight white man?”
Not to mention Star Trek was always supposed to be heavy-handed allegories about contemporary issues. Let That Be Your Last Battlefield, The Klingons, the Romulans, The Ferengi, The Neutral Zone episode, etc.
And has the writing really gotten worse or is that we agree with past Star Trek’s take or are issues too much in the past to really get upset about? Early TNG had some pretty explicit shots about the Cold War and capitalism but those are in the past so no one watching them today is upset about them…
Guys like RLM are left leaning to begin with so I’m not sure which “reactionaries” you’re referencing. I’m not a Star Trek fan, but I think the writing for the new shows is supposed to be downright retarded. It isn’t the politics doing it in on its own as much as its just terrible writing. And with Picard they seemed to be actively looking to take an iconic character and denigrate him (sort of like Luke Skywalker).
Dave Cullen and the Fandom Menace and other anti-SJW types.
Well I do agree with the writing of these new Star Trek shows is bad. I’m not a Trekkie or seen too many serialized cable shows but Discovery and Picard seem rather aimless and boring. Filled with so many concepts and characters but not doing anything interesting with them.
Some critics have wondered that a major problem with current serialized streaming shows is that the episodes themselves sometimes are no longer self-contained so they end up feeling rather pointless when watched on their own.
Interesting that this was done with the full support of Stewart. I know plenty of people have question whether this is the work of SJWs denigrating straight white men or GenXers mad at the Baby Boomers for fucking up.
A whole lot of the anti-SJW Youtubers are or at least were left leaning to begin with. These are guys who were anti-Bush the II growing up who probably don’t even have negative views of Obama. Probably fine with Bernie.
Star Trek had plenty of conservative fans in its prime. People who grew up with it. So its politics probably weren’t as heavy handed as you think. A lot of fiction has a left bent, especially sci-fi, but people, including on here, find a way to enjoy it despite that.
Starship Troopers.
Love the book. Cannot stand the movie.
I thought I knew you.
C’mon, bruh! That movie is a blasphemy against a really good story. If it were Veerhoven’s original story, I might be a bit more lenient, all things considered. As it is, he and Neumeyer just wanted to shit on some supposed fascist writer.
I mean, it didn’t even come close to having the power armor!
I think that is actually the case, there was an independantly written script that Verhoven liked, but lawyers thought it had too many similarities to Starship Troopers, so they bought the option for that and renamed the movie after the book. I don’t think Verhooven ever intended to make a Starship Troopers movie, but studio lawyers and studio interference morphed this other story into ‘Starship Troopers’.
I’ve watched everything they’ve ever done, I have no idea what their political stances are.
Hmmm…Whatshisname Plinkett dude looks like he could rock an imperial beard
Also, they give an update on Wisconsin politics.
Jay and Mike have both made offhand remarks at times that suggest a dim view of Trump and the right, but more explicitly Rich and Jack talked politics on their Previously Recorded streams. They’re all left leaning.
Well, no one here would ever do that.
And Jack for sure, but he was also a rape robot. Rich, I think he just likes to bitch.
Jay made a remark mocking the anti-SJW crowd like two videos back when they talked about the Invisible Man. Mike just said that if you make a good movie people won’t bitch.
Rich was a Bernie guy. He supports a higher minimum wage and government healthcare.
While none of them are SJW’s or so political that it blinds them into fawning over diversity for diversity’s sake, they aren’t voting Republican. Jack is a straight up Democrat.
That’s a statement I agree with. Am I a leftist?
Could be, he has the beetus. But I’ve never seen him espouse such, don’t know where you saw it.
Are you talking about Jay’s remark?
Like I said – Jack and Rich talked about politics on their livestreams from time to time. Rich was a Bernie guy. Not speculation there.
They seem like they could be left-libertarian, actually. Or they’re just cynical misanthropes. One thing’s for sure: their humor is drawn from the same well that SF drinks from.
Anyone I think the underlying problem with Nu Trek is that Star Trek is inherently based on an idealized Cold War Liberalism that no one, at least among the Hollywood Left, believes in anymore. Even the techno-optimism isn’t really in among the left these days. Can’t really update something you don’t really believe in anymore.
My condolences and prayers for your recovery, Evan. I did kick in a bit, partially so that I can go off-topic with reduced guilt….

It’s interesting that this question was never asked to Obama, in reference to droning attacks, et al.
I find everything about the exchange comical. From the White House pretending that we’d have 2.2 million dead without shut downs to the “how often do you beat your wife” type questioning.
Ehhh….I don’t quite see the WH “pretending” on the numbers–at least, not with her statement (which is certainly spin). I think she’s saying something to the effect of, “these were the numbers put up by experts, which is what we had to go on”.
It’s like these press people are scared of a virus killing millions here in one fell swoop, and also being disappointed that it didn’t kill millions here in fell swoop. Like, it must have put a giant harsh on the narrative they’ve been building, so they have to pivot. Or, something.

Thursday morning I’m going to change the locks on an apartment for one of my favorite landlords. His tenant, a sweet English woman in her 60’s who I remember from doing another job on her apartment last year, killed herself a couple days ago there. She lived alone and her suicide note mentioned that she couldn’t handle the loss of all of the daily things she did. The shutdownistas can fuck themselves. My only hope is it will backfire on them hard.
That is so sad.
What a damned shame. We’re on our way out of this BS.
I hope so , Mr O’Grady. I hope so.

Yo Gustave – if you’re still around – you had a question about kettlebells?
Yes! Was wondering if you were using Pavel and his StrongFirst material. I’ve been looking at medicine ball/kettlebell and ordered one of his starting books to give it a try.
Not any specific question (yet).
I look at his site for pointers – I’ve been doing kettlebells for about 10 years and have about a dozen exercises which I cycle through but there is always more to learn.
In the past I had been looking at CrossFit videos on kettlebells – but their focus kinda diverges from what I’m looking for and they sometimes use a different form for the same exercise. For instance, CrossFit uses the legs to lift the kettlebell straight up to the shoulder on a clean. The StrongFirst form is to start with the KB on the floor a few inches forward from the toes then rocks the KB back, swinging between the ankles before swinging it forward again and lifting to the shoulder. StrongFirst still uses the legs but swings the KB much more.
Ah, i thought I remembered a mention about Russian training, but didn’t remember any further. First time getting into it so haven’t even gotten my feet wet.
Kettlebells came to the US (in their current method of use) primarily via Russia and Pavel was one of the first promoters, but I have also been following Russian/Soviet protocols for other free weights and pull-ups.
I guess this is as good a place as any to update on my pull-ups. When I first started the program I outlined here I was doing a dozen or so chin-ups but could only do 3 pull-ups in perfect form. So 3 was the max I started with on March 10. I followed the program for 8 weeks at which point – following the program) I was doing, or attempting to do, more pull-ups than I could do properly. So I took a few days off and tested myself and found I could do 6 reps in perfect form.
From there I started doing my max reps – 6 – in five sets through the day with at least an hour, generally longer, between sets. Once I did 5 days in a row I took one day off then started again with 7 reps. Another 5 day cycle, then a rest, then started again with 8 reps. This week I am starting with 5 sets of 9 reps daily. No injuries/pains like I used to always have so I am happy with this system.
Thanks! From the little I’ve read so far about the Russian style, I like the approach.

My unemployment still hasn’t gone through. good thing I’m good at being miserly, after all of this and even spending the whole Tump Bux (TM) check on the new PC, I’ve got more in savings from the time I was working steady than almost any other time in my life to make things last until things hopefully get back to normal.

For those who jumped in on the cray-cray bitch I posted about last night: https://www.theblaze.com/news/amy-cooper-fired-over-viral-central-park-video
They had the same last name: Cooper. Conincidence? I’m thinking it was an attempt at a viral video! Maybe get a TLC series out of it…
Who are the They that had the same name?
The man and the woman…recorder and recorded…pedant and asshole…
Also, it appears they still have the same last name! No idea why I phrased it in the past tense.
Well it’s simple, her ancestors OWNED his ancestors, it’s RACISM ALL THE WAY DOWN!
If that was the case, she should have been offering his dog some treats.
/Euphemism?
In my defense, I didn’t care about this case in particular that much as the concept of women with off leash dogs.
I wasn’t indicting you; I was just informing you. It is a mildly interesting situation.
Also, I’m beginning to suspect that black men don’t typically pair up and kidnap white kids in the US.
Thank god they gave her a mask.
I know, right??? Yeeesh….
I watched the Univision clip. I took 4yrs of HS spanish and 3 years of college spanish. the only thing I caught was ‘lavarse’ which means washing themselves or something, no idea how that fits into the story.

The best way to deal with this is for people to Stop. Using. The. Fucking. Site. Let if officially become the DU chat site.
^^^This. It’s most of the way there already; social media is cancer. I do not participate (aside from this place, the worst chat room ever).

But where else can I read Kristian Niemitz tweets?
*Shrugs* I’ve been on Twitter for a month and I’ve only been called a “fucking moron” three or four times.
It’s like they barely even realize they’re dealing with a fucking moron.
Please swallow me on Twitter. I’ve only got 17 swallowers.
What’s your @?
Check comment 36.
It definitely has your persona.
Gotta be me. Batting about 1 for 10 on twitter. But since I have no followers, any likes I get count as real likes.
Oh, well, for you, that is eminently reasonable! How’d you manage that?
I dunno. What’s weird is that I often get likes from anarcho communists. Hmmmm
I think I can explain that–these are people who are so confused that they think they can live without anyone being in charge, yet, being required to share everything.
So, they just don’t know any better.
Good point. I’ve never seen a round horseshoe, but it would explain their theory.
I haz sad.
To think there was once a time when “Caesar’s wife must be above suspicion” was at least a sometime aspiration rather than roundly rejected.
It’s Harambe’s birthday tomorrow, May 27. He would be 21, which is like 32 in human years for a captive silverback gorilla.
He died on May 28, 2016, the day after his 17th birthday. It’s hard to believe he’s been gone that long already.
“Dicks Out” on Thursday to honor his memory. For you ladies (or guys) who don’t have dicks, tits or ass are acceptable alternatives to honor his memory.
Who?
You heard him, folks–#HangEmForHarambe
Get them erogenous zones exposed!
I love and hate the ion engine in Kerbal Space Program. It’s very fuel efficient, and can get a great many delta-vs per ton of fuel for a small proble. But these hour-long burn times that have to be sat through in real time are killer.
Just making sure I have an apoapsis so I can start Aerobraking on Kerbin approach is another 25 minutes of burning almost to retrograde.
I want to get to sleep, but I want to get this probe back to the surface intact…
Oh great, I lost a solar panel because I wasn’t paying attention and it skimmed across the atmosphere… and I still don’t have an apoapsis yet.
At least I have one working panel.
It is amazing that we are able to have any interactions at all.
The sort of it is the probe is still effectively orbiting the sun when I need to to capture into an orbit of the planet so I can bring it in for a landing. If I don’t get a closed orbit within the planet’s sphere of influence, it’s a goner.
Are talking about astrology?
No, orbital mechanics, albeing using abstracted equations to save on processor power.
Oh, sorry. I’m more into money shots than moon shots.
Payin’ more bail money than gettin’ tail money.

Suck that Brochettaward.
What was all that in relation to? I can’t tell what sad girl is so sad about.
Some poll he ran. Don’t really care, just like to fuck with people that get “shocked and saddened” by silly shit on twitter.
Ah! Yes, enjoy those digital tears. Not as good as the about-to-be-murdered hooker’s tears, but…you know.
Stay in your lane, Digby. If you know what’s good for you.
Take it up with commodious–he started it.
Besides, I didn’t advocate stepping on your toes; just savoring your “cooking”.
It was a joke, you dullards!
I guess we see why she went into politics. I mean; stand-up? With a hubby like that??
To riff on myself, no need for Caesar’s husband to be above reproach.
‘My husband likes to call up companies we do personal business with and threaten them with my power. It’s our little inside joke. You just don’t get it.’
‘Uh, no, Ma’am–not if it’s your inside joke…’
Sorry, I’m so late to this. I took my sleeeeepy-inducing meds for the first time since coming back from Korea and passed out at about 5pm.
Thanks to TPTB that posted and everyone who has donated. I am truly honored. Sleep well. I apologize for not being more direct with my thanks today. They will always exist as something that can never be taken away.
Right on. Keep on keeping on man, I can only imagine the difficulty. If anyone can do it, you can.
Stay strong Evan and keep writing updates for us. We’re all pulling for you.
Check yo shit, everybody!
Just like the Cologuard commercials. Take a sample and shit it to the lab. What can Brown do for you?
Yeah, those cologuard commercials may be ‘helpful’, but…blech.
Heheheheh…”brown”
Defecation doesn’t equal causation.
OK–you earned 2nd place!
What about,’If the shit don’t fit, you must acquit.’?
At least a Third. Comedy Bronze!

Can anyone explain to me what the fuck is wrong with Shaun King’s smile??
I know what’s wrong with him…to a certain degree. But, those smiles he pulls for the camera! FTW, dude?
Smile shaming shows how long we have to go for a truly equal world.
Looks like a kid getting caught doing something. It’s lazy and uninterested. The many horizontal blocks on his face (facial hair, glasses, etc) doesn’t help.
It takes a lot more facial muscles to pretend to be black than to smile. His resources are depleted.
Alright, now–my late-nighters are killing it! Who knew it takes a Shaun ‘The Braun’ King pic to reach these heights??
That smile is hella white.
Yusef being alone is not a good thing,Help!
Wzzzup, Yu?
kids gone, Cousin gone, not alone, but lonely,
Broken, but not broke,
I’m alone again, naturally
Yusef O’sullivan!
You know I can write, thanks
Ooof–when you reach Gilbert O’Sullivan levels… You mentioned eating–can you grab some food now? Some kind of comfort food?
Wow, this sums up my existence a bit too close to home.
Who in the fuck thought that locking me into a box was a good idea?Oh. the government. standard. typical fucking shit. And the people who so eagerly grasped on to it.
My parents and brother are near. But well. my mom. She’s off the rails about the illness. i’ve kept my cool with her because that’s easy. but fuck if everyone but my dad has gone bugfuck nuts over a fake “pandemic.”
Listen to happy music! The Civil War documentary is probably not the best thing for me to be watching, but it’s one of my passions. Silly goose, ev.
Good luck to you, too, Evan. Love that you keep swinging for the fences!
Here is a drum battle from two incredible drummers in a Russian venue. Tony Allen is my favorite all time drummer. His off groove is so nice.

Music is necessary – I hope it helps you like it helps me.
I just realized that I haven’t had a face-to-face conversation outside my family in about 3 months. This is too weird. Luckily, I have a dinner meeting scheduled for Friday with a small company I collaborated with back in January – hopefully I will have some projects coming out of that.
I recently found out that Ashokan Farewell (the theme to the Civil War documentary) was a modern composition, not period to that era. For some reason that kinda bummed me out.
Hi Yusef. I’m sorry you are feeling alone. At the end of the day, when there is nothing left to keep your mind occupied, it must be very difficult. There are people here for you.
I know, but I need a Human touch, Hugs from my Cousin Cassy was great, but I’m still here, alone, it sucks,
yeah
A little light fare for Chafed*.
*you can get in on it, too, I suppose
‘…we don’t know what the ca-conflict is..’ There is no reason for that if you are dubbing over other footage.
*Gets a sad about crafting videos.*
Here’s the video that I wanted to superimpose Whitmer’s face over. The lady in passenger side. I tried to start it, but gave up after realizing how long it would take.

I need someone to look out for me, i’m a mess, and it’s killing me, too much beer, not enough eating, I need help,
Hang in there, bud. Sometimes it helps just to get out and go for a quiet walk. Or we can shit talk here on glibs. Either way.
OK, why did my Fat ass Wife Ditch me? I told her for decades what would happen, she ditched me anyway, and I get to pick up the pieces, Not Cool!
but here I am, how’s that Straff?
She didn’t ditch you. My old man ditched me well before he died. That’s betrayal. Remember her fondly if you can. She deserves that, no?
Sorry but She knew and ditched me anyway, She gets God, I get fucked
Not good at consoling people. I got an ear, though. Go on if you want.
an ear is fine, look down
Yu, I can’t be completely sure I fully understand (and, I’m NOT asking for you to do so), although I think I do. And, tbh, I’m somewhat dealing with a similar issue here. I can say that the resentment is real, and there’s little good in watching things spiral.
The only thing I can say is, she couldn’t give what she didn’t have. I didn’t know her, but, I doubt you would have tolerated it if she was simply selfish. You speak waaay too highly of her, for me think that “selfish” describes her very well.
true, never selfish, Wendy didnt want this, her babies etc. but I told her if she didnt get healthy she wouldn’t see them, and here we are….
She was a great Gal, I’m crying now, but she Fucked up, and no way I could have fixed it
Oh, I hear ya! And, of course, that was something that you could never fix, and her still have her free will. So, I get (as much as I can) being angry about her choices.
If she had any kind of underlying (documented) emotional issues (depression, anxiety, etc), then I will re-iterate the, “she couldn’t give what she didn’t have” line.
But, that also means that you really should seek out some support groups. Or, something in the same vein–don’t let this mass of emotions just sit there w/o ‘doing something’.
Yusef, are you looking for suggestions/advice, or do you just need someone to listen?
yes, I’m lost, I have no idea what I’m doing, am supposed to do, or where to go, I’m lost and I tell anyone who might help,
i don’t want to die,
Yusef, I haven’t gone through what you are going through. I think everything you are feeling is normal (I know that isn’t a comfort). I don’t know if this is an option but you may try to see if there is a grief support group. It seems nights are (understandably) hard there may be AA meetings or something similar that run at night. I am not saying you need AA, but it would be a place to go with other people on short notice.
Yeah–this sounds like a “connections” issue; you need new human connections, Yusef. Support groups will probably do you, and the other attendees, a world of good.
If you’re leery about them, just think–you may end up helping someone else who’s struggling, which would, in turn, help you.
How does being the leader of the Lost Boys sound? We are legion out here, and I seem to find them, not a great help, but I’m not lonely
Hey–as long as you don’t try to turn those of us that don’t want to be turned.
Agree to that, and no Death By Stereo.
I have the #2 Bag tag, I have to defend it, yippeee!
Hehe. Love the way 80’s movies had people’s heads explode for no reason.
+1 Scanners
Sorry to say, but I’m really pissed about my Wife’s decisions, she died, and I’m still here
I’m sorry, Yusef. I’ve been depressed all day—which has never happened. Odd. I’m sorry for your loss and sadness. Feel free to email or chat with me at any time. mathews.evang at gmail.
At least you’re still here. That’s what made me feel better, after a considerable bit of time. As long as I’m up, there’s still more to learn and do.
I might be confusing your version of depression with mine, but we are coming from it at different directions. I mean no insincerity by my comments if you take them as such. Just the way my brain is operating now.
Stick with us, bud. You’ve always cheered me up. It’s the least I can offer you in return. It may help us both get through some profoundly shitty shit.
Cheers, mate.
ev
Evan, that’s the nicest thing you could say, and i’m glad you are alive, Wendy was glad you survived as well, she saw your skull FWIW,
let’s stick together in the Glib World, get better little Brother!
This might not be the most polite thing to say, but I’m not known for my etiquette in interpersonal relationships. You had a wife you loved who loved you. You have children and grandchildren who you can still have time with. Some of us haven’t yet had, and may never have such things. Cherish what was AND what can be.
Agreed, it still hurts
5 years on I still tear up thinking of my dad. I get it. That hole might always be there, but instead of letting the pain be a weakness, use it as a strength to make the life you have the most fulfilling.
12 years for my parents, I miss my Mom most, next to Wendy, I hate even typing her name, I cry every time
It’s very tiring, trying to be normal, and act like everything is cool, it’s not cool, every day seems like a burden and I just want to sleep,of course I can’t
SNAFU is the only Kung Fu I know.
I’m not going to bore you guys with my BS anymore tonight, tomorrow will be better I suppose,
Peace out!
If you’re feeling grounded and safe, then, Peace!
Safe? Ozy got me a Big Gun, Grounded? OOOOK, anything but…
YouknowwhatImean!
Yes i do, i got some photos from my Cousin that creeped me out, but again need to get beyond this or it will kill me, I just dont care anymore, and that’s not good
Well, you do care about something–at least, enough to talk to us about it. Also, keep in mind: While you’re inhabiting your body, and living all of your seconds, day in and out, it hasn’t been such a long time since she passed. At least, not what I would think would be enough for you, based on things you’ve said.
Keep on keeping on, and fill your time up with the things you’ve been enjoying and that sustain you.
Yes Sir and thanks,I won’t quit or give up, i just miss her bad, and all the things I do, she would have done, with me, that hurts
My theme song for Corona Times.
Tejicano, if you were the one who recommended hanging, thank you. If not keep the thank you, I’m sure you deserve it for something 🙂
Don’y hang yourself! Good God who’s instructions are you following?
David Carradine I assume.
poorly worded…I think he recommended pull-ups as an exercise and suggested that even just “hanging” would help with shoulder problems. Too much poorly postured desk time has given me a pinch in my shoulder.
Hanging by your arms and relaxing the back muscles is a great way of fixing a back, sometimes
Good to hear it helped.
Something I should have mentioned at the time – while hanging from the bar move your head back and forwards. Try to look at your feet, then slowly move back and try to look at the ceiling/sky. That movement gets a lot of shoulder and neck muscles stretched out.
Thanks Tej, I’ll use that
when you are thin like me, you have no muscles in your back for support, exercises help
Whoa! Gettin’ that moxie back enough to humble-brag!
quite the opposite, i got Dentures and lost 25 lbs I cant get back, ever, i’m 125lbs now,too thin
Oooh, yeah—we gotta get you some lumberjack breakfasts, pizza buffets, AYCE prime rib…combine that with some assal horizontology.
I grind the Lumberjacks, I eat meat mostly, just thin, don’t know why
Thanks, I’ll add those movements into my “hang.”
I may be thin but i have a ripping nice tan, and a tight if thin body, capable of River trips and fine Women stuff, so I’m OK, for now…
I remember those days….
/no, not yours
I’m 56, Blonde and fit, a smartass and a hella good time, what;s not to like?
Hey–you don’t gotta convince me.
::fans self::
😉
even if you are full of shit, you gotta work it….
HAHAHAEwww,..
i work it daily, the ladies turn there heads when I stroll by with my Bella,
I got it for an old Man
Here, Women love me, Men want to be like me, arrogant enough?
“Relative youth is it’s own aphrodisiac.” (to paraphrase the war criminal). I catch myself eyeing up girls that would never pass the test 30 years ago just because they are young…
Not to take away from Evan’s poignant post but I just discovered that one of my newly purchased tires from five months ago is leaking. Damn, I hope it is under warranty. It still has the little flagellum running around the outer surface and the tread seems sound. Find out later today, I suppose…
Is there any way to flatten out laminate flooring that has had its edges curl due to water spillage soaking in?
While I’ve fixed the source of the water (the hose draining the condensation from the portable AC), the water on the floor went unnoticed for long enough to damage the laminate.
Sorry, I don’t think so, Friend. We have contractors here that might gainsay me but once that stuff gets saturated to that extent it is probably toast and you’ll need to look at the sub-floor as well. You might go all 70’s on us and install some shag carpeting over the area but I sense somehow that this solution would not line up with your particular sensibilities. We lost a 90 gallon fish tank last winter and I feel your pain.
It wasn’t saturated, the edges have just let go and raised a smidge. “Started to curl” might have given an impression of more deformity than exists.
Maybe plane off the worst of the damage and try to find the right color to match? If it’s a small enough area no one will ever know except for you but I suspect that issue would keep us both up at night. Trying to be helpful!
Good morning, gentlemen!
From the department of Too Local, these decaying ruins have been sitting untouched for a full year since last Memorial Day’s tornado. This is just over a mile from my home, so I drive past it on a regular basis. Most locals reminisce about the rock concerts or hockey games they saw there, but the connection is a bit more personal to me – it was quite close to my high school (recently torn down and replaced with a new building,) so I learned to drive in the arena’s vast parking lot, and my graduation ceremony was held here. Boy, do I hope someone really does find a way to redevelop all that land into something productive, even if it isn’t on the “fashionable” side of the Dayton area.
This early morning work thing is annoying.
Bring back the shutdown.
No. The shutdown can go fuck itself in the ass. My poor little doge is getting skinny and I’m pretty damn sick of “projects”.
Sarcasm. ?
I’m glad our company has resumed field operations. Even if still somewhat limited.
We’ll be back to full swing pretty soon.
Good to hear! My behavior has changed not a whit since the stupidity started.
Best of luck, Evan, hope things will start looking up for you.
