Wait, there’s a person named Noam Chomsky?
I’ve heard the name said on the news before but was never listening.
Isn’t that the name of the gnome in the carnival campaign of Left 4 Dead 2?

That’s not his trick. That’s a GOP trick.


I brought this up in another reply, but I’m probably finally moving back out this year. I had a good number of medical issues and surgeries causing me to be unable to work (being held together by staples and having to keep a large and bulky device physically tethered to my body for 2 weeks, for just one example) for the last free years is the problem.
But I’m past that and just waiting for the holiday season to be over to start again. I cannot throw myself back into the deep end of holiday issues at work right off the bat. I’ll already have less stamina than I did before, not starting work on the boss level lol.
Now since '21 the economy has gotten fucked up even more often than it has before that (I’m millennial), so I’m not looking forward to that but actually being able to have literally any spending money and freedom to just yell “fucking Christ on a damn cracker, shiiit” without consequence will be nice.


Well I’m my case I’ve had to have multiple surgeries since about '21 to stay alive, and I’ve been unable to work in the mean time and had to unfortunately move back with them, and pretending to (well they know I’ve voted blue and hate Fox News) be semi neutral as far as being a “crazy leftist radical”.
But I’m about ready to start again soon, but I am not starting the process in the middle of holiday stuff, so hopefully '26 will be the year I can finally start living again. It feels like it’s similar in a lot of ways to what LGBT kids must go through while having Republicans for parents.
And given that one of my younger brothers is LGBT, using this same room before he got old enough to get out, he understands completely and says the same thing.


So this is why I heard Mom saying it was sad. She hasn’t seen his movies, but knows he’s super liberal and actually gave me whatever you call the vocal version of “side eye” and said “he actually came out as an atheist” as if I thought that was something rare or bad or unbelievable.
She somehow still has no idea about me tho, because I will dodge that conversation forever unless I have to directly and specifically address it.
If you make fun of his disabilities, you’re no better than he is.
That’s the only line in his suffering I will draw. He deserves literally every other kind of abuse.
If you wouldn’t make fun of a lame person for not walking, you shouldn’t do it to someone with incontinence.
There are so many other things to use, and I sincerely hope he starts suffering bad enough to want to end himself immediately but doesn’t die for years. I would watch a miniseries of him grunting in pain and angst and turmoil, while being embarrassed and mocked on his way down.
But I suggest that we leave the disabilities out of it.
