Fair enough. Honestly the only episode I ever watched was with Survivorman Les Stroud. Les seems absolutely convinced there is a rare ape species in Cascadia, and he convinced me. So many years ago. Now that I’m a stupid old man, I realize he was playing a bit the entire time.

Here’s the whole thing. Which I haven’t watched in forever. I’m stoned. I’m not going to look for the part anymore.

Reminds me of another guy who just repeats the last thing someone said to him. I forget his name.

It’s hard to believe but it’s just a couple people being shitty. Many probably agree sadly, but damn, get with it people !

I understand all the crashes database, Bobby Tables arguments. But shit, just update your system to accept Unicode and we’ll live happily ever after. At least my child 🍆💦ヾ(⌐■_■)ノ♪ will be finally recognized. 🤙

You’re right.

I just want to say that my last name is three syllables and spelled exactly how it sounds. In fact it’s two common english words stuck together. It was Americanized/Anglicized from Germany.

Three syllables will break brains on people here. I state it clearly. They’re like haha what?

For the last 9 years I’ve just been handing over my work ID badge so they can type it.

Fuck that, we think it is in the US. And we’re the only people who matter on the internet.

I agree it would have been the right move but I doubt it would have convinced 10 million people to vote.

With RFK in charge of healthcare we’ll be lucky if vaccines are legal in four years.

People will never understand that if a president only gets 4 years, they are mainly working with the economy that the previous administration left them. So Trump’s shit policies become Biden’s failures. Biden’s decent policies become Trump’s wins. And if there is another election, all the ravages of these next four years will be blamed on the person who wins it.

I mean it’s not great, but inflation did come way down right? As I said above it doesn’t make up for the inflation that already happened which makes our dollars worth so much less.

Yeah this shit is insane. We fixed inflation! Great, that’s great, but where are our, meaning the working class, 25% raises to offset the inflation that already happened? I’ll be up for my second raise in three years in 6 months. It’s already promised to be 7% which will beat inflation (and I plan to fight for more), but I would need 25% to get my pay to be worth the same as it was three years ago before my first raise.

I went to my second monster truck show a couple years ago. Took my nephew with me. The first time I was a kid and we had to leave because the noise made my bitch ass little brother cry.

They’ve come so far! They’re doing front flips now in those trucks! Highly recommend it for anyone. I was 39 at the time and I loved every minute.

I’ve only been in a helicopter once, but that was the coolest. Parasailing being pulled by a boat was also very fun.

Thank you. Unfortunately I’m deeply American in my roots.

The deprogramming things I’ve looked at require a person to be with the person being deprogrammed almost all the time. You have to be able to shut down their bullshit immediately, and that’s if they already trust you. It’s basically impossible for most of us to do because we have fucking jobs.

I have three Irish-German grandparents, and one West African grandparent. My DNA has me about 39% Irish. Is this a possibility for me?

But they’re fucking lying! Surely you see that by now.

California will say fuck you states’ rights. California is a bogeyman to flyover fucksticks and southern shitstains. I worked with a guy who diligently researched everything he bought, and wouldn’t buy anything that profited California business. He was the extreme end of incel gross.

I give that as an example to show how much the extreme right hate California. It doesn’t matter to them that there are many pockets of conservatives there, they would like to see the entire state burn. They don’t think about or care about the national economy, they just use twisted versions of economics to hurt people.

Donald Trump is an sick old man slipping into senility. He won’t be running the country. The people who will be would never endanger the tax money they get from California. That may be the only silver lining to the shit cloud.

Now the test case stuff might go right ahead in order to eliminate the rights of people in the rest of the US. You could be right about that.

This is it exactly. Land versus population. The Republican strategy has fully paid off. I’m in a blue island in an extremely red state.

Arm yourselves.

I’m feeling the same mostly. I don’t make as much money as you, but I’m ok because I don’t have kids and I’m in a low COL area. Which means I travel much of the time and leave my wife undefended. She is open to getting a pistol and learning. I’m getting a rifle. We can’t leave because her mom is elderly and will not leave. Hell we’ve just got her convinced to move 20 miles to live with us.

Once her mom lives out her life we will have options. We can see how bad it plays out. I want to move to Uruguay or Costa Rica badly.

Back when Hilary was running, I was involved in a political discussion with the two older guys I was on the job with. One man said to the other, why do you think she can’t be a good president? The other man yelled “She’s a goddamn woman!”

These people exist in numbers.
