I might have been a little more gentle, but this is <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>his<\/em> <\/span><\/strong>set, not mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Would I pay money to consume it?  Probably.  It&#8217;s largely enjoyable to me, and I want to see him succeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My only real point of emphasis?  <em>High-droxy-chlor-o-quin<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My body seems to be responding positively, and I should email one of my doctors about that.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is another somewhat-truncated week.  I get my infusion on Friday, finally, thankfully.  With the extra rest, however, I&#8217;m not nearly as fatigued as I&#8217;d normally be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hair growth is happening.  The beard isn&#8217;t going badly.  The hair up top is a bit of a pain to deal with, but I&#8217;m going to deal with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;ll be a bit strange to have an ID that has me with long hair on my face, and head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oh well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My initial hedging on it, is passed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I do wish I could get a haircut at Georgetown while I was in the <em>is-he-going-to-die-after-his-infusion <\/em>period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prompt&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Have you ever unintentionally poisoned someone against another person because you hated them?\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No.  Doing that is exactly the opposite to how I live.  I play <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/jYFefppqEtE\" target=\"_blank\">Sir Robin<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still, there&#8217;s a difference.  One of the reasons I&#8217;m getting counseling, is that I know bad things could happen, and <em>I really don&#8217;t care.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All I ask is that if you&#8217;re going to harm me, please leave a record of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re going to harm me, <em>own it<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, too, reflects back on how I live my life.  Have I ever done anything I regret?  Certainly.  Have I done anything that causes terrible embarrassment?  No.  Nothing.  Now that doesn&#8217;t mean I wouldn&#8217;t do some things differently, wouldn&#8217;t place confidence in some individuals, but I think nearly everything I&#8217;ve done was justifiable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Okay.

Whatever.  I do believe in life, liberty, and property.  If that makes me a bad person, so be it.   Kill me for it, just do it when the cameras are rolling.  You can&#8217;t hide everything forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But on a somewhat-related note, and in line with what I&#8217;ve been barking about the last few days, all of this is <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.msn.com\/en-us\/news\/us\/on-tennyson-street-in-denver-mom-and-pop-shops-are-dying-amid-covid-19\/ar-BB1bsCGk?ocid=BingNews\" target=\"_blank\">killing mom-and-pop shops<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fruits of someone else&#8217;s labor are <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/fee.org\/resources\/not-your-to-give\/\" target=\"_blank\">not yours to give<\/a>, but they&#8217;re also not yours to take.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if you know better than me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sputtering towards the end of the month, both me and my writing.
