My knowledge of LA geography is pretty limited, but I'd think filthy lives a lot closer to USC than UCLA, so keep your eyes peeled for a Trojan encampment.

Fight On! VVV

UCLA is far away from me, and right through terrible LA traffic. USC is close to me

but my protesting days are over, I think. I'm retired. I went to tons of them in SF. idk if I did much good, but I was there. now, I just feel too old. also I don't really have a community in LA to help me, if I get arrested and/or injured.


and yeah, protests for civil rights, Vietnam, Iraq 2003... those were all 100% justified and righteous, and objectively correct... just like now

Communists who have no community, Socialists who have no society, Capitalists who have no capital. The id ego and superego of the alienated subject on the verge of disaster.

love the post amp

and love you too

you are sorely missed

hope everything is going good for you

It's good to see you! All is well. Galaxies swirl in the yawning void of infinite space heedless of our vicissitudes.

It's strangely comforting that everything in the universe changes constantly except this thread.

Sup amp

Amp!

Luckbox what's the current lay of the land on conspiracies

Joe Biden is a lizard.

a random lizard would be a better president, and probably win the election

Are you volunteering for the position?

BTW, my daughter is home from UCLA this weekend. I find it surprising listening to how passionate she is over the school Protestors and the school administration/police. She was in tears talking about it. I would have assumed that most of the student body would have been indifferent. Also, my opposite views clearly didn't help.

Don't tell her how they get nickel for iPhones.

Not sure that's the right element. Maybe cobalt? Something like that

yay mark and mark's daughter! you raised a good kid! proud of you mark, and your girl. really

obv not proud of you for your abhorrent views! lol

proud of you for being a great dad and raising good kids who can help you understand the ways of the world

My son agrees with me! However, this morning he said "Yeah, I got to be careful around my roommates. You don't want to mix politics and friends."

almost all my friends disagree with my politics lol

and i'm not shy about expressing my views! but I think I mostly manage to do it in a way that isn't too hostile

me and mark's political discourse is a good example of friends who can totally disagree on some specifics, but still like each other a lot

100% agree!

get a room you two.

I would love to hang with you too.

I would too, Mark. We obviously also disagree on a lot and I know I give you ****, but it's only because I know you can take it. Don't be too nice tho or I'll start feeling bad about it lol

Fwiw my best friend in life is a huge right winger

I didn't know I was your best friend

We will always have Cherokee..

I would read a book documenting your trail hike. Those posts would make my 2+2 highlight reel.

I'm always happy to share btw. I was recently a part of a research project on post-trail depression where I was interviewed along with a few other people on reintegration to normal society. I'm free to share it after next Friday if you're interested.

Going to AT Trail Days in southwestern VA in two weeks...basically a massive party in the woods. Been catching up with a lot of old trail friends this month. I hiked with a person who was an army vet and a transgender girl at the time that has since transitioned back to male and is full on Q/Alex Jones obsessed. They outed themselves in a drunken arm wrestling competition in Duncannon Pennsylvania by crushing the field lol
