Revolution is in the air.

Sure, and any day now I’m going to lay a giant golden egg and fly away on my skydragon to never-never-land where I’ll live with elves.

That doesn’t make it a holiday… Nothing is closing, no one gets time off work. You can’t just use words when they don’t fit.

Jokes on you; I dislike everyone.

I think you’d be better with an automatic text to 911 rather than an automatic call.

I’m going to write a letter saying “Hegseth is a bad man and should be punished”. Then I’ll crumple it up and throw it into the ocean.

You should be happy with that, right? I mean, I’m doing SOMETHING and it will have the same impact as bringing articles of impeachment. In fact, my way is more efficient since no legislative time would need to be spent to do this meaningless act.

“Send a message”? “Important to have a record”? What the fuck have you all been smoking over the last 10 years that you think that means jack shit anymore?

What’s different this time than his previous term? Do people just have shit memories or something? Pretty much every week someone from Trump’s inner circle would be tossed out in disgrace. How is this any different? I don’t see a Republican civil war, I see the same shit as last time.

Dumbasses so desperate for just a small hit of copium. You think that over the course of the last fucking decade, something would have sunk in for idiots to realize they’re being fed horseshit, but no. They’ll keep believing the house of cards is totally going to fall down any day now because they read some bullshit tweet and are too fucking stupid to look up facts for themselves.

I’ve seen like half a dozen articles asking questions like this in the last week.

Money.

The answer is money.

The answer has always been money.

The answer will always be money.

There is no point in asking this question because everyone already knows it’s money.

Boiled in a big pot with potatoes, carrots, and a large slab of corned beef for several hours.

If it’s all propaganda and nothing happened, then why the fuck is China so draconian about preventing any and all conversation about it?

I mean, if it was all made up lies, certainly they would want people talking about the truth of the matter, rather than banning and prosecuting anyone who dares mention that it was anything other than a normal day.

Now, some people might see this and easily be able to tell that something stinks and clearly there is something they are trying to cover up. We call this “Not having the critical thinking skills of a dead goldfish”

Do they? I mean, I’m sure some people do. But some people also think shoving chili peppers up their anus is pleasurable. We don’t go around saying “People now think shoving hot peppers up their ass feels good.”, because while it’s technically true, it’s disingenuous considering how few people fit into that category.

Part of me agrees with this, part of me thinks that these people are too far into the weeds to know what’s possible. Change brings chaos. And when you’re at your stressful job with a shitty machine that you are constantly trying to keep running, eventually you reach a point where the thought of turning off the machine is unthinkable.

From an outside perspective, it seems obvious. The machine is bad. We should get rid of it and try something different. But that concept is terrifying to the people who work on the machine. Turn it off? But they’ve spent years learning how to work with the machine! They know how to sometimes get the machine to do what they want! If they replace the machine with something else, what if they can’t figure out how to work the new system? Maybe someday they can replace the machine, but right now? In the middle of everything else? No, no, far too risky. Best to try to keep working with the same old machine.

Who do I tell? Their answering machine? Their poorly paid staffer who has to answer calls?

Maybe I should just go talk to my front door knob, or quietly whisper my complaints into a pillow. It would accomplish the same thing.

Yea, it’s an honest mistake that could happen to anyone! I mean, who among us HASN’T ordered an online prostitute who we thought was barely legal that turned out to be underage? There’s no way to avoid it!

I want you to do a little thought experiment with me…

Sports make a shit ton of money. They have advertisements crammed anywhere they can. When you go to a stadium, the shots of crowds are almost always pre-recorded, or actors, so they can package the emotions they want to convey without risking a genuine moment from genuine fans not going exactly how they want it to.

They gouge you with ticket prices, they gouge you with food/drink prices, the gouge you for parking. If you’re watching at home, you have to subscribe to their specific streaming platform, and even then it doesn’t guarantee you’ll be able to see the game they want.

They recruit kids in high school and college and use them knowing full well that less than 1% will have anything resembling success. They spend millions upon millions exploiting these kids.

They give quasi-legal performance enhancing drugs to their athletes. Ones that are labeled as supplements and aren’t technically against the rules, but do the exact same thing.

They hide studies that say their sport causes long-term injuries. They bribe local officials to get huge tax breaks on building new stadiums. They have teams of lawyers and PR personnel to cover up all but the most extreme controversies from their players. They have people working night and day to find new ways to keep people’s attention and have them consume more. They found a way to make gambling legal again and have been pushing HARD for it.

Now I want you to look at all these underhanded and slimy tactics they use, and really ask yourself: “Are the games themselves rigged?”. If your immediate answer is “No, of course not! They would never mess with the integrity of the game itself!” why do you feel that way? Why do you trust organizations, that have shown they hold nothing sacred if it means more money, to NOT mess with the game itself? You know they would if they could get away with it; and with the state of the world today, do you really think they COULDN’T get away with it?

A 144hz monitor has been the biggest upgrade to my computer since switching from an HDD to a SSD. It’s that big of a difference.

Same punishment as a brick, or acid, or a bunch of razors. Really makes you think.

Sorry, they’ve been defunded. Best they can do is have a guy from Fox News with no scientific background waddle out and claim Climate Change is a hoax made up by the demoncRATS. Maybe blame it on the Jews too, if AIPAC hasn’t been donating as much lately.

Because it’s the New York Young Republican Club? It’s not any actual politicians calling for this. It’s a bunch of incel trolls jerking themselves off to videos of Andrew Tate and having wet dreams about how fucking funny it is for America to do a fascism.

No they aren’t.
