  • No, don’t you all see? He’s actually so genius that we mere mortals can’t comprehend his brilliance, as attested to by his multiple friends who are totally real English professors who exist and spend time with him, and are definitely not fictitious people he just made up on the spot to try to strengthen an obviously bullshit argument. Well, no, you wouldn’t have heard them, because they, um, teach at a different school, but the important part is that they are intelligent enough to see the clever underlying structure of his wide ranging and definitely intellectually brilliant speeches, which the rest of us apparently aren’t.



  • I’m no expert, but for me personally, my shin splints went away immediately when I changed my running stride from heel strike to toe strike. I learned this when I tried running in minimalist shoes and the complete lack of cushion meant I would be bruising my heels. So, I stopped slamming my heels into the ground and instead land with the ball of my foot, absorbing the impact with the flex of the foot. I think of it as treating the cause rather than the symptom. It’s an adjustment, and I was a bit sore in some muscles I previously didn’t even know my foot had in there, so I had to work up to it a bit. Since I got used it though, I actually really enjoy the feeling of my feet and legs while running. I’ve also heard that the toe strike stride is less energy efficient, so apparently serious athletes never use it. If you’re running just for the exercise or for fun though, I recommend giving it a try.





  • Yeah, the American West has a huge variety of very distinct biomes. For the purpose of telling a story though, one rocky desert or forested mountain vale or whatever is as good as another, leaving us, the audience, largely unaware and misled. We mostly only notice when they do that to areas we’re familiar with.

    Reminds me of the movie The Patriot, starring Mel Gibson. There’s a scene where he is at his home in what is clearly the upcountry of South Carolina not too far from the Appalachians and he takes a walk down his garden path to visit his wife’s grave, which is located in the South Carolina lowcountry, by the coast, somehow skipping past over a hundred miles of pine forest that would have been between those areas. If you’re not familiar with those areas, they both just look like areas in the American Southeast, but if you are familiar, it’s very jarring.








  • Like the could drag his dumpy fat ass off the stage before he’s ready to move while keeping him covered. They did the best they could with a man so driven by theatrics and ego.

    If this was a false flag I doubt the secret service agents would be in on it anyway. Now, I wouldn’t put it past Trump to fake an assassination attempt, but I would be surprised if he pulled one off without any blatant mistakes or leaks. I guess we’ll see, but there isn’t enough public information yet to jump to any conclusions. There are plenty of people with plenty of reasons to want the man dead after all.
