Snerk. Well done, WS.
Sometimes when I'm sitting in class... You know, I'm not thinking about class, 'cause that would never happen. I think about kissing you. And it's like everything stops. It's like, it's like freeze frame. Willow kissage.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
since I like paying taxes so much I should send all my money to the goverment and let government decide what I should get
My brother has become an annoying, very vocal libertarian this election. He's SUPER fond of saying things like "Taxes are theft!" and "If people won't take care of their neighbors out of altruism, it's not the government's job to do it."
And I just want to say, "DUDE. You are turning 40 in ten days. You sound like a college freshman who just read Ayn Rand for the first time. STOP IT."

DH has been engaging while I am just unfollowing and writing them off.

The guy who I Snopsed yesterday replied to it and said "Thanks for clearing that up. I'm still not voting for Hillary but I hate all my choices."
And, you know? I have zero energy to engage and ask who he's going to vote for or if he's going to stay home. I care, in the sense that I want Hillary to win, but I just don't have the spoons to try and convince a truculent vaguely creepy guy to vote for the candidate who isn't going to usher in the apocalypse. If he doesn't already see that, I'm not wasting my energy on him.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
My real life very old school conservative friend says he prefers Trump (or Bernie) to Hillary because he is against anything that will make the government bigger and he thinks she will be successful at getting things done, while Trump will not be.
That is so strange to me. Like, wouldn't you want the president to be successful?

Your friend is Ron Swanson?

"If people won't take care of their neighbors out of altruism, it's not the government's job to do it."
I thought the government's job is to establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity. But what do I know, it's not like it's written down someplace.

Preaching to the choir here.
He just (as far as I can tell) disagrees with the fundamental job of government, regardless of what's in the official documents from way back when.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I am completely failing to be interested in this meeting, because I'm leaving for the airport in a couple of hours.
