    I mean it’s like walking for 10 hours but with less chafing, hell, you can remain with your head above water with very minimal exertion by just flexing enough chest and neck muscles to keep your mouth above water while lying submerged. I wonder if that’s where the 40hr upper limit comes from.

    It’s sad, cause I empathize with the Republicans who supported him in the first election. Not having these endorsements and still being able to win should be an excellent thing. I mean, I want a candidate that’s so far out of the mainstream that it makes the establishment scared. The establishment sucks and is doing a lot to ruin the country, being in the pocket of the oil lobbies, never even criticizing how we spend our taxes on our military and being so bought by the medical companies that we are quickly becoming one of the last countries to make the obvious choice to fund healthcare with taxes.

    Unfortunately, Trump ended up being just a spineless strong man that only made these problems worse.



  • I think romance in fiction is really hard to do well because you somehow have to get across the fact that every romance is different, unique, and often doesn’t make too much sense except to the people involved.

    A “realistic” romance can be realistic to the author but be filled with very idiotic choices that makes the reader find the romance not realistic at all

    Similarly, an “ideal” romance might be written as perfect for the author and certain readers feel it’s the least romantic thing in the world.

    This looks like a lose-lose but all I’m trying to say is that regardless of what you pick, to me, the most important aspect is getting across that this relationship is entirely between the two characters and difficult to get across to the reader. That’s why, to me, romances in stories often work when they aren’t the main plot as it lets the reader fill in the gaps of how that romance evolved.
