Soft to start, but I reckon he’ll get harder the more vigorously I shake him. Who knows though, he may just jiggle around semi-limp like a just-came-2min-ago dick

Don’t forget Trump, I’d be using all three remaining arms to shake him vigorously during the handshake. Diplomatically, of course.

By being overqualified for handshakes and using that as a power move to establish dominance via awkwardness

This brand of positivity you’re embodying is the most infectious one, and if I can feel it in your writing I imagine hearing it spoken from you would be some next level inspiration.

I’ve lost some people close to me over the years and what saddens me most is how I’ve forgotten so much about them beyond what they looked like. All of them except one…Gordon left behind audio recordings as his last messages to each of us in the group of friends.

Every time I hear his voice, it brings back so much about him that just can’t be said. His cadence, intonation, and overall manner of speaking have helped keep an entire person in my memory.

I wonder if that’s an option for you. I can say from experience that the lasting impact of audio is…powerful. Being able to actually hear my friend…i can imagine him speaking to me, and it’s in his voice because his voice is not forgotten.

Your family hearing your thoughts, in your voice…and being able to hear you speak long after your time…man, I can’t think of a better way to highlight your true personality and make it a lasting one.

Remember when just about every government employee was carrying around a BlackBerry device for official business?

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

“LinkOpensChest_wave…you magnificent bastard…”

This has got to be where the idea for transparent wood came from…

What you’re holding there is Prototype-0

I’d love to be cautiously optimistic, but the sources on this are “sources with knowledge of diplomatic discussions between the two allies”

Nothing official, or even semi-official. I genuinely wonder if this even happened or if it’s a bit of manufactured consent

I call bullshit. Israel won’t end the war and US financial support is certainly not going to dry up. Bunch of hearsay to stoke a bit of “we’re trying to do the right thing”…

I think it stands to reason that on particular levels you’re aligning yourself with “them”. But… that’s the whole point of empathy…its only when you see pieces of yourself in others that you can empathize with their existence or experience.

I guess its the human tragedy…we’re all so much alike in our struggles, it’s just the theatres that are different. But for some, that difference is enough to obscure the mirror and people see a monster where its just a reflection.
