It's pretty much a ritual of mine to be and stay hammered most of my travel day.

Chug most of a half pint of liquor in the parking garage, double of Johnnie Walker Black for pretty much every hour I'm in the airport, order some mini bottles (or carry on my own) on the plane, sleep until my destination, and then do whatever it is I'm doing that day.

But then, I handle my alcohol extremely well (and have the red hair gene that makes you less susceptible to its effect and process it more quickly). So I don't really get in trouble.

Nah, sorry, different person than you were initially responding to. I was out to breakfast and just wrote that quickly on my phone.

It was pinched for about 3-4 weeks before my physical therapist finally realized what I'd told him at the start - that my calf was literally paralyzed. He was like, "Oh... that's, that's not good. You need to go to the spine doctor like, immediately." (Dude sucked, but it was the very beginning of COVID so my options were limited.)

Got me in to see the spine doc the next day and I got emergency cortisone injections by the end of the week.

I got usage of my calf back, and significant reduction in pain. But I never got back the full amount of feeling in the right two toes of my right foot, that side of that foot, and stretching up to about mid shin height on the same side. I have pressure sensitivity still. And even touch, kinda. It's like when a limb is asleep. But fuck it I'll take that over the feeling of daggers and lava I had before.

At least for me, even though I've recovered full movement and only have minor to moderate pain after activities which stress the area - the pinched nerve was damaged for long enough that I will have surface numbness on parts of my leg for the rest of my life.

My little brother likes to say he's going to have us all taxidermied and put on roller skates so we'll be with him forever.

It's often said that Democrats today are Republicans of the 90's/00's, and this is further proof of that on top of the reasons you mentioned.

Tbf, in 2016 the DNC and Clinton were so arrogant they literally said, "we don't need your votes." Like every political campaign all they needed to do was make some empty promises to try to get them on board.

In my experience, the difference between die hard Sanders supporters and other leftists or liberals is that they tend to believe that the on going class war is the single biggest issue we face in the US today. Everything else is a distraction to keep that otherwise overwhelming block of the population segmented into competing blocks of people. The Dems just foster an attitude of "competing but inter-supportive" and the GOP has one of "competing, and you should enslave your enemies." The latter of course only really appealing to white conservatives and useful idiots.

My audiobook player has a sleep timer that after it expires, will gradually fade out to nothing.

Best part is if you're still awake enough that you notice it happening you can just shake your phone (with an adjustable intensity) without turning the screen on or anything and it resets the sleep timer.

My ability to fall asleep has never been better.

I will personally buy at least five conservatives plane tickets if they want to go.
