Joke Names During the EpidemicNot so long ago (back in 2020 to 2022) in Australia if a person went into, for example, a restaurant, that person had to sign a book. You'd write, "Mr. or Mrs. Jack (or Jill) Jones" or whatnot. This was one of the many indignities we had to endure in... (...)

In the Line of FireIf you were a Secret Service agent, would you take the bullet to save Donald Trump? Taking the bullet for the President is the ultimate sacrifice you can make as an American in defense of the nation. My heart swells with the surge of patriotism at... (...)
The Apparent Connection Between Atheism and AutismCould there be a connection between the two, and if so, would this explain why so many of them are just SO completely clueless when it comes to... you know, not being a jerk and offending those who believe in God?... (...)
The True Meaning of MAGA One of the jokes about MAGA in Australia, and perhaps elsewhere as well, is that it stands for "Make Americans Go Away". People in nations other than "America" often complain about the behaviour of tourists from the U.S., that they're loud,... (...)
Dealing with my grief This August will be two years since I've suffered the loss of my youngest son. I'm having more frequent good days than bad. However, I'll never be the same person I was before his death. Things that I once thought mattered doesn't even matter... (...)
What even are my emotions anymore?...I'm in a weird little place between sad and angry and grieving and it's like... bro, I'm tireeeed. It's sort of a familiar place already, I guess. I don't know why I keep grieving this one friendship that has been dying for like more tha half a year... (...)

Europe is sinking billions into Ukraine.War is an expensive business. To stay afloat against Russia, you need billions. Ukraine doesn't have billions. And this isn't Ukraine's war. Ukraine is Europe's Iraq.
I'm frustrated too...Lol. In that weird mix of grief, sadness and anger I'm also frustrated in many ways. Life has been pretty frustrating for me latey, I feel like everything is moving pretty slowly, but like it's also going really fast. Insufferably fast. The other... (...)
