This seems like a nice scam to get in on. I just need some magnificent facial hair to get started.

Keep your mouth shut, and fake it til you make it.

It's what EVERYBODY does. That is literally the key to life that nobody tells you when you are young.

My eyes have always been horrible, since I was in first or second grade. I was a voracious reader, always the best in the class, and far ahead of my age group. At the same time that I was devouring reading material, I remember having splitting headaches for some reason, but they stopped when I got glasses.

I wore glasses every minute of my waking life until I was about 30, and my girlfriend, now my wife, convinced me to get contacts, and I've worn them for decades.

Now I'm old, and just recently went to the eye doc to get a cataract taken care of, and he told me that my entire bad eyesight can be chalked up to the fact that my eyes are much bigger than normal, and that causes nearsightedness in people with normal sized skulls. He said I have the eyeballs of a 7 foot 2 inch man!

It figures, I got one thing on my body that enormous, and it's my eyeballs.

People tend to filter out the bad memories, like the fact that crackheads were breaking into cars constantly, making it nearly impossible to have a decent car stereo. They started making them that you could pull out, and take into the house. It was common to see cars parked on the street with a sign that said "No Valuables in car."

The crime rates in America in the 80s were through the roof. It wasn't until the earl/mid 90s that they dropped.

That was one of the trademarks of the Olympic Bomber. He didn't do it at the Olympics, but when he bombed abortion clinics, he would set a second bomb to go off after first responders arrived. By helping those he felt were murders, the first responders were complicit.

MAGAs cheer the death of any journalist.

Take it all the way to the SCOTUS. Make them take a stand.

Yep, when it comes to MAGAs, I'll offer them the same commitment to truth that they have. They are bad people to the core, so I don't have any problems believing the worst stories about them. I'm sure they are all totally true, and if they aren't, I don't care.

Nah, it's true.

They're all about that Slippery Slope.

You just know that they will be the first ones to restrict gun ownership, although they'll have a half-assed excuse that their followers will be forced to swallow hard.
