And I'm not sure emu have actually respected anyone, ever...

They're basically giant chickens. Like chickens, they're incapable of any emotion except hunger and hate.

Eh, I'm not. Presumably there's non-awful redneck towns, too. And by presumably I mean I've been to some. Tend to be what amounts to art enclaves of one sort or another my general region. Pretty nice places, particularly comparatively. Generally fairly welcoming to outsiders, and not in the "only if you don't stay too long and happen to be in the "right" demographics" sense.

Plenty of plenty awful ones, though. Having lived in these damned places all my life I can't actually blame folks to much for having a poor opinion of the joints. Living in them could probably make it worse.

... most of the posts that have been related to that since it came up have been pretty vitriolic, yes. Hasn't really been anyone trying to defend it, particularly via bullshit, though, which is what would have set M off. Guy didn't just vomit saline into a vacuum, most of the time.

Eh... thing was, it wasn't just salt. M was aggressive and you could see the patience (what there was) for a lot of the bullshit our political cycles output deteriorating over the years, but there was more going on there, by a fair amount. Investment, concern for the actual system and its outcomes, that sort of thing. Kinda' pointless to contemplate it too much at this point, though, so whatever.

The Democrat politicians are equally dishonest, you know. The Republicans just tend to be more openly crazy. Both are still two sides of the same bloated and dying eagle.

No. No, they're not. There is nothing equal about it. Not even anything goddamn partisan about it, the republicans have been lying more and more blatantly for a while now. Particularly during this particular election, but it's been a increasing trend over the last handful of years.

It was definitely on youtube, if nothing else. I'm like 60% certain GC or owlga or someone actually posted a link to the originating video at some point.

Delayed posting, but. Little bit ago, either something crawled down the far wall of my room that had a leg span roughly equivalent to my head, or. I hallucinated something with a leg span roughly equivalent to my head crawling down the far wall of my room. Didn't have a light close enough to me to really tell what it was, which just makes it worse.

Currently undecided as to which is more disconcerting. Leaning towards the former just because we... don't have much in florida that reaches that size, particularly that are inclined towards crawling around inside a house. Also there's not really anywhere in the room I'm aware of that something that size could even get in through, save maybe the AC vent.

Either way there's either something in here that could comfortably audition as an extra in an Aliens movie, or I'm starting to see things what aren't there more overtly than the normal static. This is not terribly conducive to my paranoia levels.

... as for the ear thing. Perhaps consult Dr. Doctor, instead of Dr. Google. Dr. Google doesn't actually have a license to practice in most countries. Usually a good idea when blood is actually emitting from various orifices. Alternately get a mirror and see if you can see something, or ask someone nearby to check. Then possibly go to the doctor.

E: On the flip side, if it is a ohgodfire sized bug, I can hit it with things until it stops being a coherent entity. If it's hallucination the it in this scenario is my brain. I don't want to slam a maglight into my brainmeats until they cease to be a roughly contiguous organ.
