Make no mistake, I see it as very likely that this problem doesn't get solved without significant violence.

Once as a kid I was hanging out with a buddy near the area where my neighborhood stopped and the next one started.

Pretty girl from the next neighborhood starts coming our way, of course me and the homie start shitting bricks. She gets to us, looks at me, and goes "oh, sorry, you looked hot from far away", and turned around and walked back 💀

Obviously it stung but it was just so hilariously, callously mean that I had to laugh even in the moment lol

I hope it at least had the good manners to do the comical "collapse up / backwards on itself" thing!

Bb gun fights were the best. Topped only by Roman candle fights, and we had some epic, like 10v10 ones spanning entire parks.

Got a version of this, from the hand of the man himself (John Dyer Baizley), hanging on my office wall! Helps that this record fuckin rips.

We would've gotten along famously lol. We used to treat cartoons like instruction manuals for fun and cool shit, none of it worked like on TV of course, but still lots of (often painful) fun to be had.

Bedsheets do not in fact make an adequate parachute for a second story jump, btw.

The high road is gone.

Republicans reshaped their party from the inside via the Tea Party dorks. We're all worse off for that, but - at this point, the only path forward is for Democrats to do the same, reshape the party by going hard left, vehemently attack the corporate Democrats (almost all of them).
