Cool story, bro.

It has literally nothing to do with the topic. But hey, good rant there, bud.

A racist with even the tiniest shred of intelligence

Well I think I see the problem…

He wanted to celebrate. Had to order “The Usz…” (How does one spell a colloquial shortening of “usual”, anyway?)

That guy earning twice as much as you is still far closer to you than to the guy above him. He may make twice the amount as you, but the guy above both of you makes literally 400 times as much (per day sometimes). It’s like you said, we’re all on the same team.

The literal Trump Derangement Syndrome

Non fungible tokens

Middle class IS below the poverty line.

The poverty line is a number made up by the wealthy to keep the “less poors” at odds with the “more poors” So that we don’t join forces and guillotine the motherfuckers.

Good. Fuck em. I’ll sit back and enjoy while the rest of the world proceeds to set up a trade network that bypasses the U.S. entirely, fostering far more cooperation and goodwill than America’s Hegemonic diplomacy ever has. America can get fucked for all I care.

I mean, I guess that’s true in a peculirar sort of way in which nothing really exists outside of our perception of it.

What I mean by that is that whatever we see, hear, taste, etc… is merely neurons firing in our brain, processing a signal that it receives. So if we’re looking at a tree for example; that tree is just light/energy waves vibrating on a specific frequency. It’s only when it hits our optic nerve and travels to our brain that it’s translating into something that we call a “tree”.

So when the eyes are closed, the random interference pattern could indeed be interpreted as you say. Goog catch. Kind of makes you wonder.

Just imagine these two guys were just sitting in a waiting room for something completely different and are now associated with super-gonorrhoea because some asshat snapped their photo for a stock image website…

Simple answer without typing a textbook is simply that the longer a language exists, the more individual “quirks” it picks up.

Words or idioms from a different language, regional differences in pronunciation that become common, changes in preferred spelling, etc…

Language is protean and ever evolving, which means that no (natural) language is ever going to be without it’s own unique weirdness.

What you’re seeing is the inner workings of the holographic universe we inhabit. Your brain interprets the signal as static.

/Obviously I’m not serious…

Respect. He built something bigger than him and then knew that it was time to transition.

He…doesn’t…care…

He only needed to get voted in once (well…twice…the first was a trial run). He used the time to take control of every single lever of power through cronyism or outright criminality. Votes don’t matter because no matter what the votes say, the people controlling the election will simply say “Trump won”, and when the legal argument against the obvious election rigging gets to the supreme court, they’l affirm it. This is by design.

Or, also possible, Trump will simply not have an election using an excuse of “we’re at war” or whatever.

He doesn’t need you. He doesn’t want you. You can all die for all he gives a shit, so long as he and his rich friends keep making money off the presidency.

There is no “voting” your way out of this bullshit.

What an absolutely repulsive human being. Beyond the crimes. Beyond the egotism and narcissism, he’s just simply a repulsive, classless, amoral fuck-head.

He’s the guy that, if he hadn’t been born into wealth, would be Ken McElroy

Because there’s no such thing as no consequences. If I have the ability to rob a bank and get away with no consequences, there are still consequences for the bank guard that loses his job (or that I have to hurt in order to get into the vault). There are consequences for the people whose money I’ve taken. Just because there are no consequences on me personally, doesn’t mean there are no consequences.

Doing good comes from having empathy for other people, not because you’re afraid of personal consequences.

countless thousands before them have jumped up and down on that same floor for decades

Structural fatigue means that someday, all of that previous jumping will do enough cumulative damage to weaken the glass frame.

I have no interest in being the straw that breaks that particular camels back, as remote a possibility as it may be.

Well I wish someone had told me that before I went through with the surgery.

unless government oversight finally becomes so corrupt and useless that this concept is forced through.

So next week, you’re saying?

Three words…

Cock finger puppet.
