le sociologue grincheux

Rando on Twitter: "gee...for a sociologist you're not very sociable." I've studied people for far too long to be sociable. I drink too much, I swear a lot. I don't take kindly to the wilfully ignorant. If you want 'sociable', go talk to a guidance counselor or something.

@OctoberFerguson Last I checked, mine were an overweight badger and a skunk with a missing ear.

No wolves.

@DavidLeavitt Zionists have nukes.

Trump’s Third Term

@jamiemcintyre21 And, yes, the people who entertained themselves with the slaughter of unarmed civilians, the people who still call for the death of Palestinians of all ages, deserve an eye for an eye and more - justice will be had.

@jamiemcintyre21 First thing one needs to accept is that the Likud party (the zionist extremists) and the State of Israel do not represent Judaism and that criticizing the Israeli regime and their expansionist, violent form of zionism is not anti-Semitic. /1

And the large majority of the world seems to think they deserve it Do they ?

@MsAshBash420 And here's me, nodding in agreement, and throwing my back out.

Every single word.

@SuellaBraverman Thank you for demonstrating that the posh, publicly funded education you received was all for naught.

Global warming?!? Just over a week to go until Easter and we need to get our big coats back out! I wouldn’t mind a bit more global warming to be honest, right now.

@mistrustme1 I'm in.

@daelilley @GBunchofnumbers I don't qualify for the CDN dental plan.

@OhHowByronic @GBunchofnumbers Mine was 9k CDN, & I think the Canadian Dental Care Plan would have covered it had there been such a thing in 2017 ...

Morning after dental surgery: Oddly (and happily) no pain. A little sensitivity, but no pain, no swelling, no bruising. Made coffee, had to let it cool to 'warm' because 'no hot beverages until the stitches dissolve; about 8 days. Soft foods only; nothing crunchy or chewy (sigh)

@GBunchofnumbers ouch! literally ouch!

@OhHowByronic 34k and it’s a fix to a bad full upper done in 2013 that cost me $28k. I knew since the day the first one was done I was going to have to replace it. Unfortunately, the dentist who did the original drop dead a month after the initial work. Something told me I was feeding a habit.

@AbulurdBoniface @CrossBiddy People like this are why we're not advancing as a society.

@OhHowByronic @CrossBiddy People like these are why I no longer have a great fondness for this species.

This one, hands down questions

@GBunchofnumbers This little process will end up costing me about 7k CDN by the time it's done. All tax-deductible - but still out of pocket, $1500 to 2500 at a time.

@OhHowByronic I found that homemade garlic mashed potatoes with homemade gravy never tasted so good. I just made a huge batch of that and froze some. Unfortunately, my dental work involved the entire top of my mouth. I wasn’t offered sedation other than local. The bill is astronomical.

@AbulurdBoniface @CrossBiddy There are people like this clown everywhere; they used to operate in the shadows, dodging capture and prosecution, either in the court of public opinion or in the dock. Now, however, they exercise their intrusive thoughts in full public view. They literally expose themselves.

@OhHowByronic @CrossBiddy What annoys me is these kinds of people who, for their worldview alone, give themselves the right to bother people, to inflict themselves on children and to justify it with this kind of nonsense. I have designs for these kinds of people that are not legal but brutally effective.

@GBunchofnumbers Thanks! Same to you. And, ya, the soft food thing is less than enticing, isn't it?

@OhHowByronic Just did this. I’m still waiting for a temporary and slowly melting away. Soft food for six weeks has been no joke and I wasn’t even overweight. Hope you feel better soon

@OctoberFerguson It's been less nasty than I was anticipating. For this I am thankfilled.

@OhHowByronic I did this last year

@woofknight rejoice.

@iamAtheistGirl It's that feeling that wells up from nowhere and everywhere. It's in the little things. It's in the moment the mind wanders homeward. It's in the awareness of being the outsider; the stranger in the strange land. Here to talk if you want.

@iamAtheistGirl How are you doing? I know the kind of longing for home you're going through, having lived far and away for many years.

@iamAtheistGirl Howdy!

@iamAtheistGirl One medical crisis away, a power struggle and putting Vance the Feckless in charge will be the start of change. It won't be easy or fast, but get the popcorn ready.
