Cranial Jettison Disorder is a serious issue.

The French knew how to handle it quite well.

“Wait what the fuck? Oh so they’re being satirical and actually stating the exact opposite?.. Oh. No they’re serious. What the fuck?”

-My Internal Thoughts reading this.

An act that was clearly illegal given that he misrepresented emergency information, and I expect the exact same punishment will be recieved for THIS tampering of things.

and a gentrified neighborhood I can’t afford to live in anymore.

Gunshots at 2am and random shed fires should make quick work of that problem. I hear those have a way of lowering property value.

Leaving a few broken down vehicles in your front yard is a more legal way, I guess.

until we feel whole.

I mean, I’m down to keep stealing shit until I die.

“are corporations whose sole purpose is to extract as much money from the masses as possible with no thoughts to anything else up to and including destroying the house it occupies in order to maximize profits to blame for the world around us? Or is it those dirty fucking people with all their bad gross nasty purchasing of the things the corporation shoves down their throats?”

I’m sorry but did a CEO write this?

Uncaring?

You really think they don’t care how they ruin people’s lives?

Quite the contrary. They relish in the suffering. The cruelty, as always, is the point.

Fuck them sideways with a Guillotine.

Having ridden in Ye Olde Wagons before, this is actually what you should do.

Get out, unload whatever weight you can, and make the wagon as light as possible, then you try to get it out by unburying the wheels and putting something hard for them to roll on.

we had 2x10 boards (and a few small 2x4 chunks) in the wagon and shovels, as the route we were using was through cow pastures and corn fields.

Truth doesn’t matter, reality doesn’t matter, their OWN MYTHOLOGY doesn’t matter to them. Most of them haven’t even read their own manual outside the dozen or so cherry picked verses that they use somewhat interchangeably for conflicting messages, once a week for 45 minutes.

“Why are you so afraid of answering questions?”

“democrats answer questions like this every day, surely you want to prove you’re better than them?”

Get digs at their egos. At the very least, there may be one or two conservatives out there who see that and go “yeah, why IS he afraid of answering a simple question?”

"A great American city is on the precipice of being run by a communist who has publicly embraced a terroristic ideology,”

I’d love for reporters to start pushing politicians when they say dumb shit. Don’t just let them say it and then gawk at the camera like you’re Jim from the office or move on with questions.

“in what way are you concluding that Mr. Mamdani is a communist? Are you aware of the difference between communism and socialism, and could you explain how he is a communist?”

“what terrorist ideology? waits for answer In what way is this the ideology of a terrorist?”

Show that they have no idea what the words they spew mean. Show that they’re just using buzzwords that sound scary.

And then give the facts.

Can’t even be relied on to feed it’s people.

The biggest fucking joke of an empire in human history.

I fully expect the regime to announce they’re arresting ATC personnel who quit.

“well you see, it’s perfectly reasonable that he murdered a surrendered soldier, as he was just following orders!”

The “just following orders” defense still going strong 80 years later.

I’m sure it’s going to be used a lot in the coming decades, assuming the governments actively involved in horrifying human rights abuses ever see any sort of reform…

I hadn’t heard about this before this morning.

Now I want to watch everything that was going to be presented.

You know you’re winning at life and on the right side of history when you threaten people’s families to prevent them from showing an indie movie.

I threw this together in 2 minutes:

I mean, after a certain point, yes.

Two frogs sit in a pot of water, one turns to the other and says “were on a fire, we should leave before the water boils”

The second frog turns to the first and says “you’re being alarmist, things aren’t that bad.”

This sounds like the second frog.^‡

It might be the more practical choice to keep backing away and keeping yourself and the people you care about out of the spotlight as long as possible, it’s certainly the safer choice and one that probably leads to a longer life…

You are certainly more optimistic about the future of the country than I am. I train because honestly I find it a little fun, competing with my own best times on various drills and courses. I also in recent years have come to train even harder and begun introducing LGBT friends to firearms, because I believe the country is headed toward civil war.

I’m not inviting my LGBT work friends to my range because I want them to attack ICE. I invite them and encourage them to buy their own firearm and train for self defense because I have literally heard other coworkers say, out loud to be met with nods and agreements, “any day now they’ll let us loose and I can go killin all them fs and tr***s (slurs for LGBT people)” and no end of bullshit about how “mentally ill” and “unstable” they supposedly are.

Besides, if my choices are “concentration camp v0.95” and “best case scenario being on the run after a shootout with the gestappo” then I know which choice I’m making.

You definitely have way more faith in our (metaphorical) neighbors and the system than I do. That probably a good thing, I’m a depressed pessimist with tons of anxiety about the state of the world. If more people were like me we would be like 10 years into a Civil War already or worse.

^‡(frogs don’t actually sit in blowly heating water as certain movies like to say, they still will leave at some point when it gets uncomfortable)

My state surprised me during covid.

It’s not surprising me now…
