Better than going on a shooting spree. I'm sure if he had weapons, it would have turned out differently.

Very true. And those buildings could have been occupied.

If only we could have loaded up those properties with politicians and lawyers before his rampage ....

I would guess that since the words "politics" "holiday" and "hotel" are used in combination, the Chinese translates to "brothel".

I wish I knew. I tried slowly turning my lights off and on once and the idiot called the cops on me.

Dazzle camoflague works better in Urban scenarios.
It can hide big things (Battleships) at sea from ordinary eyesight.
But in a city at like 15 yards distance against buildings those jagged lines fool your eyes.
It can make you look twice.

Why am I still here? I survived cancer a few years back and except for the high when I got the all clear. I've fallen back into my humdrum ways. Nothing really going on in my life. Now I'm watching a good friend going through shit because her dad's been diagnosed with terminal. Honestly, him sticking around for her would be better than me still being here. I don't get life sometimes.

Would not your still being here be of comfort to your friend, a living symbol of hope for her dad's prognosis? Not to mention you can provide insight into what they can both expect in the near future vs-a-vis symptoms, side-effects, et al.

When I was a College DJ (Starchild) on WDOM. I went to the record stores in Downtown Providence and asked them to give me the latest records. Payola was dead in the1970s.
They still haven't changed the EAS tone though.
