Which is crazy because for any sane president, covid amounted to serving up the election on a silver platter.

"Follow the guidance of the scientists and we'll all get through this together." would have gotten him north of 65% of the total votes, and probably near the Reagan/Mondale level of electoral college victory.

My use of kickback goes back to late 90s / early 00s.

A kickback was more "formalized" than just hanging out, but smaller than a party. Same general premise of there being drinks and food at someone's house at a certain time and date, but the expectation is that it would be much more chill. Maybe 6-10 people or so, hang out, drink some beers, maybe smoke a bowl, that kind of thing.

"give you back 3 minutes" should have been swapped with "hop on a quick call" and then the quick call should have been scheduled for 2:27.

Growing up, my cousin and I were like brothers, closer than either of us were to our actual brothers.

In 2012, depressed and in pain, he decided to depart this mortal coil.

I rarely drink anything other than some wine with the gf. But twice a year, on his birthday and his deathday, I pour myself a glass of his favorite drink. He was born on the 4th of July, and would have been 40 today.

Today I'll be having a Jack and Coke, in memory.

note: don't feel down about this. I'm sad he's gone, of course. But also, I generally toast something to the effect of "thanks for taking the easy way out and leaving me here, fucker!", tongue planted firmly in-cheek.

Yeah, I didn't realize until sometime in the last 3 or 4 months when there was a comic that explicitly stated the character was a guy.
