2025 the VA is legislated out of existence. No replacement is ever proposed. Fuck our service.

I've been shaving my head and my balls with safety razors for like 15 years. Get some nice soap like sandalwood, cedar, lavender, frankincense, sasquatch or whatever name they're calling it these days and make a lather on your body in the shower. A lather from actual soap is critical to avoiding nicks, cuts, and especially razor burn. Use a new blade and gently drag the razor across your skin. Use short strokes, not long passes. Clean the razor. Add more lather when needed. Don't press hard or move the razor sideways or diagonally. That's how you cut yourself. Watch out and take care for any bumps and rounded corners, like warts, the back of your jaw, or any sagittal crest you may have. Hold the razor with one hand and use the other to feel for hair and smoothness. Make a pass with the grain and another against the grain. Reapply lather between passes.

Maybe before you begin, shave a little hair off your arm or leg to test the angle you hold the razor. The sensation of individual hairs being cut will be tactile and satisfying. When it's right, it'll feel right.

Get a sharps container for used blades. It'll take a lifetime to fill. Blades only cost like a dime, so just treat yourself and use a new one every time.

It ain't too difficult. Just be gentle, take short and slow strokes, feel your way around, and don't shave dry skin. You may be surprised how easy it is. They're called safety razors for a reason.

Look, the Democrats have to own this loss, for once, like they should have last time. It is clearly insufficient to try and frighten democratic supporters with a probability of fascism which we've never experienced before. It is clearly insufficient to abandon the working class as they have for so long. We should never fund or promote far right candidates in primaries. The media should not provide free coverage for outrage candidates to drive viewershop. It is clearly a mistake to try and court conservative voters, because hardly any have ever crossed over. It was certainly a mistake for Biden to run again, and then to drop out so late, far too late to have a primary.

Maybe the fact she is a minority woman turned people off. I don't know. It's a stupid reason not to run women, but that possibility exists.

But it damn sure isn't the only reason we lost.

You can "own" a woman, and you can own a knife. But you cannot own a knife and a woman.

No, they intend to kill OSHA.

When monsters arise, you fight them. Not because you can win, but because they must be fought.

Learned? Oh no. We haven't done that yet I'm afraid.

It might slide into the doorframe with a sci-fi hiss and recognize your approach to unlock, but it's a 100% manual, electric sliding door. If you walk out of your basic apartment and don't manually close the door when you leave, it WILL be open when you get back. It'll stay open the whole time you're home. Who ever saw a manual, powered, sliding door? If you didn't realize this was a dystopia, there you go. That's hysterical. I wonder if they set it up so you'd get burglarized for neglecting basic security. And if not, why not?!

Whoever thought that up is an evil genius.
