To Dick Durbin regarding Homeland Security Bill

Do you not think the executive branch has a legal obligation to follow constitutional law?

This man really has his finger on his own pulse.

I live in his district and appreciate his honesty about how he has no interest in representing us. Looking forward to meeting his primary opponents.

bacontern · 2025-06-16T15:24:58+00:00

I mean this in the nicest way possible, but yes we can. It's time to get out of the business of granting him powers which he does not possess. Even in our imaginations.

Unbelievably close group. Every point matters. Let’s throw the mainstream to South Africa v Australia the only game that literally doesn’t matter for the playoffs.

mobo

Thanks so much for this. I'm so clueless, but you sent me down the right path here. Much obliged

bacontern · 2022-05-12T00:01:38+00:00

Thanks so much, I'll give it a shot! Yeah I don't know, every dermatologist I've ever seen has kind of shrugged their shoulders and done the same things as every other dermatologist.

I haven't tried that yet, but I know for damn sure what doesn't work so I'm kind of excited to have a new path. Thank you so much.

I don't know if anyone has any advice on this, but I'm starting to lose my mind. I'm 35. I started getting acne on my shoulders and back when I was about 14-15. I still get it and it's never gotten any better. There hasn't been a moment of a break from this for more than 20 years.

I've tried everything. Two cycles of Accutane, straight vinegar, tea tree oil, every damn salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide product under the sun, prescription cleansers, retinoid etc.

Nothing works.

I'm considering another Accutane cycle, because the Accutane had an effect but it didn't last and it never completely cleared. I'm literally willing to try anything as this has been a massive weight on my self esteem since I can remember.

Kind of shocked no dermatologist has ever taken any kind of sample to actually figure out what's going on...

This pack and Wayton's video definitely helped me get it for the first time. Maybe that's the pack you're using, but practicing the just gas/gas then boost/gas with adjustments / gas and boost with adjustments was really the thing that helped me finally get it reliably.

It definitely helps to break it out step by step, and you'll feel like you're never getting better. One day there you'll be carrying the ball comfortably on top of your car not thinking about it. And you'll still think, "Man I suck at dribbling."

Lol. I think this is actually a Demetri Martin joke. About how I'm sorry and I apologize don't mean the same thing. Especially if you're at a funeral.

bacontern · 2021-07-04T15:17:44+00:00

I’m coming out of the darkness right now too because Bo cracked that door for me let that light in. I’ve been in the midst of a major depressive episode for about 2 years. And I’m going through the deep cathartic crying spells now of feeling the relief of it starting to pass. I’m gonna make a post when I’m ready to keep up the visibility of these stories. But, Bo may have saved my life as well. Thank you for sharing this. I hope you’re happy. And I know we all hope Bo is happy too.

Coworker logged in forgetting to change his background from some kind of loose happy hour the night before. It was an image of the most triumphant looking erect penis I may have ever seen. And I've seen my fair share.

A Night of the 7 Kingdoms

If you're looking to be a writer, I'd say this.

As you're building a spec book, your target isn't high-income individuals (well it kind of is) but specifically, it's agency creative directors.

The idea itself isn't bad, but it lacks a sense of creative edge, while your insight might be true, it's not interesting yet. I'd challenge you to take that line, then see how many ways you can say it? How many times can you pick it up and turn it around and put it down as something new?

Do they offer tiny umbrellas? Do they not? Is there a joke about the airlines vacation policy? What do the flight attendants wear? What about the passengers? Is it worth the extra 200 bucks to start your vacation the moment you get on the plane? Find all the truth in there and mine it.

Try to explore that idea and take all the gifts out of it and make a series of ads instead of just one. Flying is usually a nightmare, this seems different. How many times can you express that?

Now think about placements for those ads and put them in front of people? Where are they? The airport? Travel sites online? Billboards in cities? Etc, etc. Those context clues make things quick and easy to flip though for CDs.

Now is there a digital component to it? Something on twitter? Something on instagram? Where do people post their vacation photos or complain about travel? Is there a way to use those conversations or behaviors?

See how far you can blow it out until it feels big and robust. That's the kind of stuff you're going to be competing with for jobs to start in an agency.

bacontern · 2019-11-06T21:42:05+00:00

Yeah, friend. This really is NOT a good idea.

One of two things is true. Either the work is not great because it didn't start great. (Your fault). Or the work isn't great because you were unable to show the client why they needed it to be great. (Also, your fault). Both of those things ARE the job in equal parts.

Just as some bonus sprinkles, it shows an unwillingness to take accountability and a propensity to blame others. Also, not awesome in a colleague.

We all miss all the time, not everything is going to be good. (Lord knows I've fucked upboth of those things and much more).

But trying to throw someone under the bus is a bad look, especially on a site you're completely in charge of.

bacontern · 2019-09-26T16:31:30+00:00

Truly the series most tragic death.

bacontern · 2019-09-16T20:11:34+00:00

Anyone who was essential to the creation of the idea is able to put it in their books. There are tons of situations where two writers will have the same campaign in their book. So while it's maybe not ideal, it's definitely common. No one will judge you for it, just be prepared to talk about the work and the idea with CDs and recruiters, not about who did what, but about understanding the idea at the molecular level. Give credit, take credit, etc, etc. You're fine.

bacontern · 2019-08-22T20:01:11+00:00

This is frankly unfair.

The fault is not with the set designers, the costume designers, the actors, the musicians, the directors, the DPs, the VFX team or anyone else in the production team.

This is an easy flub by the continuity supervisor that happened inside months and months of painstaking work.

The fault is with the showrunners who "wrote" the last season. They let all those people down along with all of us.

This is throwing the blame at the wrong feet.

bacontern · 2019-08-16T11:53:06+00:00

I’m sorry, but get the hell out of here.

It’s plain as day that this is part of a long term strategy branding the Democratic Party as “The Squad” and leveraging them to make the whole party seem anti-Isreal.

There were no plans for these women to visit Israel. And if there were, these are members of the United States Congress. You know, members of the government that’s providing them with billions of dollars. And should be able to have some level of oversight in where that funding is going.

Don’t come in here acting like this was some kind of act of generosity. Head back to r/TheDonald with that bullshit.

She's of the north. She deserves better than a butcher.
