Well, sure. Even if he is batshit crazy, reasonable accommodation stops where I start. Abuse isn't part of the deal.
Simon: I, uh... I never-never shot anyone before. Book: I was there, son. I'm fair sure you haven't shot anyone yet.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Hey, Corwood! How are you and yours doing?
We're great! How's things with you? Sounds like the studying has you tired-out.
And I like the mushiness! Even if it's accompanied by weariness or paint-peeling profanity.

No gormy (or however it's spelt - it means unweildy).
But they do have this:
Italian sandwich: (ME) submarine sandwich.
which I grew up with. And this
shmunk: forshortened term for a Chipmunk.
which I didn't, but adore now that I've read it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The second outburst really caught my attention--I understand bigotry way better than I understand blatant disregard for the truth in fucking public.
Hec, I'm with Matt. Dude. Tunguska.

But it'll still be hard to explain if I start yelling Old West insults across the room in public.
Well, that could be part of the fun in and of itself, I guess.
[Edit:
Sounds like the studying has you tired-out
Not so much the studying, I'm sad to say, but the bureaucratic stuff around it. We're handing in a research grant proposal at the end of the week, with 3 other groups, and I'm assembling everybody's parts on top of writing my own.]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ditto. Although, it was the end of the Golden Globes, so chances are, he was wasted by that point. But still.

Always Anti-fascist!
Yeah...you know the internets have given so many in-jokes it's like I don't know how to have ordinary conversation.

Oh, I know. And (look how this is all meMeME), when some of those jokes only work in a language that I don't speak daily, things get even more complicated.

I hope I'm not coming off as condoning/excusing slurs. It's totally not where I'm at. I'm just going with benefit of the doubt if he's going to get help for mental problems.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
So, you know, benefit of the doubt. The Golden Globes outburst was so weird, it makes me wonder about whether he's batshit.
well, I would go with that, except he keeps saying it. And his publicist said it!
