Whoa whoa whoa. Tell that to the faux-ristocracy in Canada first, please. Please? Our guys are super-dumb, so it should be easier.

In another binary choice, who would you choose? Another trump, or harm reduction?

no wine? miracle.

Metaphor for conspiracy.

dead friend? raise em up.

Metaphor for a friend leaving the cult and coning back. See “X is dead to me”

not enough food? miracle some up.

Metaphor for inciting wealth redistribution

get crucified?

Brother.

rise from the dead.

Metaphor for leaving cult, but coming back for transition when terms of separation were agreed.

Unionized IT.

0800-1647 , and it’s generally firm; but we do take time to bottle and checkpoint our work if we didn’t get to it before then. Normally it’s 0800-1600 but the 0.47 hour is part of a 9x9 scheme where every second Friday is off because we already worked the hours for that pay-period.

OT needs a ticket and is charged out to the .1 hour. Standby has a shitty hourly rate, but at least there is one. They may not expect us to be sober/available otherwise.

The rule is to always be richer than you are famous – for any value.

Thus, if I was Michael Jackson famous, I would need to be several-private-islands rich.

Of course, I wouldn’t have an island. But the bunker at the resort I own would be insane.

Quick: who’s got Mayor Mamdani on their team? THOSE guys seem to care about people.

I got like 9 or 11 injections in one 30-sec army jabfest in 91. I still don’t like needles, but I’ll roll up my arm or drop trou for something beneficial with no complaint. The alternative is always worse.

I think those robes, the crown, the Sceptre, they were all the Crown’s stuff - aka the Firm, the organization that is the English monarchy - and not his. They existed before him, they will exist after him, and his wearing them lays little claim of ownership past “work clothes” than a pilot can claim to own the plane he’s flying.

Yes, it’s a bad look. The guy at the bank denying loans wears a fancy suit. The lawyers in America fighting to deny healthcare wear amazing suits.

Would you have him sell the crown he doesn’t effectively own to throw money at a problem? Never go to the Louvre, or they’ll toss you out for yelling about how they should sell the art to pay for the French homeless.

In all this you forget: if the pilot sells his plane, if the Louvre sells some pricy paintings, if the Crown’s representative sells the work clothes he’s issued, who’s buying it? That guy, those people buying them, they’ve truly amassed a personal fortune to be able to buy something like that. It’s not work for them; it’s obscene decadence and greed.

THOSE are your villains. Taxation is how we get them to pay their share from here on in, like we did in the '40s through the '70s. And I think the max tax rate above 1mil gross takings every year should be a 101% tax rate: you’re paying everything you took and just a little bit more. Maybe take less. Maybe launch fewer rockets and buy a few less elections and pay to fix hunger and healthcare and all that instead.

She’s not allowed opinions of her own? Are you secretly a supreme Court justice with that nullification?

The backdoor they slid the racism in through, based on the process used to disenfranchise voters.

I’m not sure they used an actual eraser, so the “literally” part seems weird.

I love it when even boomers can’t hyphenate.

Yay! Someone tell the Canucks?

Free buses means no mess with fare collection. Hop on, hop off. That’s a maaassive savings in hassle and accounting.

This is a great way to ask “did you grow up outside America, or as an American?”

Psst. Dental work needs several visits for serious stuff, and are often spread out.

That, and Haiti, both of which are now self-perpetuating disasters for their people.

There needs to be an absolute fuckton of lawyers involved now.

They were told aggressive genocide was far better than the mild genocide apologism that they can protest effectively. And they believed it. It’s like math is hard.
