…i’ve claimed unemployment benefits a couple of times in the past four decades and the administrative burden was onerous-enough to substantially disrupt my liberty to look for work, the release of benefits delayed until i’d already found work the better part of a year later, and the benefits such a token pittance as to be eclipsed by interest on credit i used to make ends meet in the interim…

…i supect their fraud-prevention programs cost more to administer than the actual benefits they’re supposedly protecting…

…hah!..well that kind of superfandom commands my respect even if the material doesn’t earn it: dorks dorking-out over dorky things are always cool in my opinion…

…so, like, it was a walmart-exclusive live television broadcast?..was there a live audience at the perfromance or was he just playing to an empty studio?..how’d that work, like, did they set up chairs in front of a special big-screen at each location or did you just stand around the electronics department for two hours?..

^{(i think that’s half the reason why armed forces do ribbons)}

…f*cking balls-out cartoon fascists…

…when i was growing up, my well-meaning parents pulled me aside to express their concern over a jewish friend dating a black friend; aghast at their comment, i immediately confronted them over its apparent racism, and they replied that they had nothing against it personally, but were instead concerned about what other people might think…

…they’re f*cking balls-out fascists fourty years later, and i want no part of them in my life…

…to anyone tempted to compromise their own best interests on behalf of what other people might think: don’t give them that kind of power over you, or they’ll drag you down in it…

…what?..no, that’s blown HDPE: a translucent plastic bottle with syrup inside…

…mossad gonna mossad and FSB gonna FSB…
