    I don’t know how many times I’ve mentioned this, but there are two religious events that demonstrate God is displeased with people. Floods and plagues. There are more than that, but those are essential. If you were a Christian in 2020, COVID should have been the most obvious portent that God doesn’t like the way things are going in the world.

    If you actually believed in that shit, you would have dumped Trump immediately and never looked back.

    But Christians don’t really believe in the Bible. They believe in whatever their leaders say. They don’t follow the instructions of God. They follow the instructions of corrupt preachers and politicians.

    By their own standards that they usually apply to other people, but not themselves, there would be almost no Christians who have a good afterlife to look forward to.



  • If a car hits something stationary, it is always the driver’s fault, with a few uncommon exceptions, such as if somebody hit the car first, pushing it into that other thing, or if the car in front of them plows into it without slowing down, and they don’t have time to react. It is one of a driver’s most basic responsibilities not to hit something that is just sitting there in the road.


  • For me, lately, it’s literally been, “Oh shit. It’s 2am. I’ll just finish this chapter quickly.”

    Then, “Fuck, it’s 3am. I forgot about the chapter thing. I basically need to put the book down this instant or I’m a failure as a human. I can not be awake at 4.”

    Finally put it down at 4 and sleep at 4:15. Failure as a human.










  • One of the bills, to provide clean water to rural areas in Colorado, if I remember correctly, was passed nearly unanimously in both houses. To override the veto only requires 2/3 of both houses.

    It’s just my personal opinion, but I think that if a lawmaker votes for legislation and then doesn’t vote to override the veto, and it’s not some extreme situation, they should be ejected from any government office and pilloried publicly for wasting taxpayer time and making light of their serious duties. Let the people pelt them with rotting fruit.

    When I say “extreme situation”, I refer to the idea that some vital information comes out about the bill and that’s the only reason the President vetoes it, to get a better version of the bill passed. Like there might be some technically important legal jargon in the bill that seems otherwise innocuous, and nobody realizes at first. Or the situation the bill is supposed to address significantly changes in the meantime.
