Pre-ONT Open Thread

Thanks for encouraging me. I went to my workout. It kicked my mish around the gym, but I got it done, and I feel better for it.

If it's any inspiration to you -- hey, I did it myself, and I'm a pussy.* So you can do it too.

* Non-genital meaning of "pussy" meaning weakling or faintheart -- so I'm not a Dirty Bird, and I do not have to be Purged From Earnestly Sanctimonious GOP Elitist Society just yet. Or at least not for saying this Newest Forbidden Word that the left has proposed and the "right," as usual, has agreed must now be added to the Speechcrime list.

The establishment right, sharing zip codes, baristas, and beds with the left, are past-masters at confirming and enforcing New Thought Control Rules the left just initiated five minutes ago.

What to know what massive changes the left imposed on society ten years ago? Just look at the things the right is currently enforcing the rules on -- and that tells you what victories the left won a decade past.

Basically, the right has a fetish about enforcing rules, even rules they violently disagreed with ten years ago. But as soon as the left makes it a rule that has a bare plurality of the country's support, the right is Ready to Die for That Hill.

The hills the right is ready to die for seem to be only the hills that the left itself has built and fortified.
