Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Huh. We were just talking about this: Susie Bright: The League of Amazing Latkes Q & A

I'm going to walk over to the campus medical center to find out why they aren't answering their phones. There had better be blood and wailing patients when I get there, or else THERE WILL BE.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

A Molotov cocktail was thrown in my neighborhood, next to a hospital, on the way I walk to university to every day.

I wonder which God I pissed off that bad.

An anger-inducing article: HEART DISEASE IN WOMEN: A LIFE-AND-DEATH GENDER GAP

Some stats, and lots of anecdotes of women with heart disease whose symptoms were misdiagnosed, overlooked, ignored, etc.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I am glad to know there is a nutritional reason to have fries with a burger!

Clearly my lunch was more nutritious than I'd thought.

A Molotov cocktail was thrown in my neighborhood, next to a hospital, on the way I walk to university to every day.

While I don't get people throwing Molotov cocktails in general, throwing them next to a hospital lends an extra dose of WTF. Might the throwers not need it someday? Especially if they habitually mess around with burning liquids.

Shir, I hope you can stay safe. Good luck with exploring NGO work. That's what I'm currently doing, and I really like it.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Thanks, Calli.

Might the throwers not need it someday?

All of the wounded from the riots in the neighborhood next to me were brought in there the past few days, but that Molotov was thrown from the direction of an Israeli-Arab village near by. But yes, you're right.
