@ramzimo68 I just watched the first couple of episodes of #TheFlightAttendant .

Though I'm no expert, I think I see some alcohol-induced dementia (perhaps Korsakoff syndrome).

It makes for an interesting show.

TV chefs have really gone downhill over the years, from Julia Child to the Swedish Chef to Gordon Ramsey.

Who's next? Hannibal Lecter?

@negative12dollarbill some while ago, my cardiologist suggested I should eat In-n-Out burgers less often. Life is so very hard.

The discrimination continues.

I found the Facebook profile of this guy (“Peter Karasev”) who was just charged with bombing a power substation in San Jose. According to his profile, he is a software engineer with a PhD. And he’s from Moscow, Russia.

(Follow along for screenshots from his profile). 1/

Let's recognize "wishing harm upon others" as the mental illness it is: sociopathy.

Once diagnosed, I'm sure it can be treated, or at least contained.

For example, we shouldn't trust sociopaths with driving cars, having guns, educating children, or holding public office.
