when there is a sex scene in a video game the ghosts of my puritan ancestors manifest in my room like a prudish river styx washing over me with such force that i have no choice but to cower and not be privy to the vulgar turpitude on my screen
people need to understand that some people just don’t like talking it has nothing to do with u so don’t take it personally like some people just aren’t talkers and they’ll probably never text u first or initiate a conversation and it’s not because they don’t like u it’s just that they don’t think to say anything bc they’re comfortable with not saying anything
According to Abutaleb and Dawsey, the “goal” of Trump’s White House and campaign allies “is to convince Americans that they can live with the virus — that schools should reopen, professional sports should return, a vaccine is likely to arrive by the end of the year, and the economy will continue to improve. White House officials also hope Americans will grow numb to the escalating death toll and learn to accept tens of thousands of new cases a day, according to three people familiar with the White House’s thinking, who requested anonymity to reveal internal deliberations.”
A Trump Administration senior official, quoted anonymously, told the Post that Americans will “live with the virus being a threat.” And a former Trump official, according to the Post, said of Trump’s allies, “They’re of the belief that people will get over it, or if we stop highlighting it, the base will move on — and the public will learn to accept 50,000 to 100,000 new cases a day.”
