Have had some flings with lasses who weren't the sharpest knives in the draw. But that was more about mutual lust.

Read. Read up as much as you can on his particular variety of Alzheimer's - there are many different sub-types, and each can have a different pathway. Forewarned is forearmed. And yeah, communicate with others in your situation - it's good to feel like you're not going through this alone.

MrBeelzeebubbles comments on Nov 10, 2018:

It's a pretty well established link. Sensation seekers tend towards liberalism, security seekers tend towards conservatism. These aren't fixed attributes, however. There's been studies that show that if you scare people, they become more conservative, and conversely if you make people feel safe and secure they tend to be more liberal.

Did popularity ever matter to you throughout High School Years?

Popularity always matters when unpopularity can mean getting your head kicked in. I was too loud to fly under the radar. Looked about 2 years younger than I was, and skinny as a rake.

Helpful tips you learned as an adult?

MrBeelzeebubbles comments on Oct 29, 2018:

With any Windows product, always wait for service pack two. Microsoft beta test by selling stuff and waiting for the error reports. If you get wasted, your going to crash. Accept this as inevitable part of the experience. The alternative is junkydom. Hallucinogenics will give you amazing insights into the human condition that you will forget within thirty seconds. Learn to love the ephemeral beauty of buddha-goldfish syndrome. Pay your rent and bills first. Women cop lots of vile shit when you're not around. As a reasonable guy, you won't see a lot of it, because the arseholes tend to back off in your presence.

Would you consider yourself difficult to get along with, deal with, or live with?

A riding crop with a feather in the end A novelty cat o' nine tails And a pair of furry handcuffs. Should have known what the buggers had planned from the sniggering.

That sales taxes (GST, VAT etc) are inherently regressive and disproportionately effect the poor. Looking at the Scandinavian countries, as long as they are combined with a high minimum wage and strong social safety net, then the working class are ok. And they have the advantage that they are difficult to evade. The wealthy can avoid income and capital gains taxes, but they still have to spend money.

The current Conservative government are the only sensible choice, and have a fundamental grasp of economics that will benefit us all, especially the less well-off. The science of geology is a sham used to steer the impressionable away from the truth of God's creation, and it's pioneering role in investigating climate change is yet more proof of it steering us away from the righteous path of mass consumption. America's gun laws are sane and proportional.
