Attending their ceremonies? Dressing up in the school colors?

Yes.

In what world would nobody notice an empty crowd?

You do that by boycotting the ceremony and publicly humiliating them and their attempt at keeping their prestige.

You help them by dressing up and doing their dance.

Wearing croakies and boatshoes.

Slam dunk lawsuit. They have a transcript. Signed by NYU. Case closed.

Why go to commencement?

They’ll still give you the degree. The ceremony is about prestige. They have none.

Lmao

I got the ticket stubs to prove theyve been on this timeline since around then, but I have no proof where they were before (after?) that…

Idk why I didn’t put this together sooner but holy shit your joke made an incredible connection for me.

My favorite album of all time is likely

Between The Buried and Me - Colors

(If you’re unfamiliar, and like progressive death metal, go listen to the whole thing). And on that album, theres the song “Sun of Nothing”

Lyrics and song here

It’s… It’s basically about Elon Musk (not actually, but like holy shit). Written in 2008, well before he went to play “spaceman”.

The song is about an egotistical fuck who thinks they’re better than everyone. It’s a modern day Icarus story. Dude wants to distance himself from everyone he sees as boring, mundane. Straps himself to a (metaphorical) rocket thinking it’s cool and is also his ascension to be a deity, and shoots himself ‘toward the sun.’

As he goes through with his plan he realizes everything was better before he played spaceman. Yeah his plans were cool and he saw himself as a god and everyone else as pathetic, but now that he’s a spaceman, he’s the god of nothing. Oops.

"…I’m floating towards the sun…

The sun of nothing…"

You want Boston to throw another tea party? They’re game.

No taxation without representation motherfucker.

I really dont get how you could be anything less than humiliated to take pride in, and belittle others, over something you have absolutely no part in.

While this 2008 bit is about Nationalism, the point is the same.

I operate on the philosophy that it is better for me to relearn things than lean on old documentation that may no longer be accurate/relevant.

The best way to implement a safe connection to my home lab today might not be the safest way tomorrow.

Old dog, new tricks, etc.

Also! Your documentation is an attackers wet dream.

NB: this philosophy doesn’t scale.

What an absolute bitch.

Imposes tarriffs on China. China hits back.

Doubles tarriffs. China hits back and says “fuck you, we’re done with the tattiff game. Well play the fucking world trade game. We don’t need you.”

Trump pauses tarriffs. 😳

Reduces tarriffs. 🥺

Lies about having phone call with Xi. 😅

Cancels paused tarriffs. 😬

Is now going to China, what, to beg for forgiveness? Suck Xis cock?

Honest to god, if you voted for a strongman you’re a fucking idiot. This is the most impotent pussy bullshit I have ever fucking seen. From anyone. Let alone the leader of the free world.

Hmmm

Internet credit card purchase,

Or

Backwoods shack cash purchase.

Hmmm.

Shit, you can buy guns at gas stations in my neck of the woods.

Western mintana’s vibe has always felt very “If ya ain’t fuckin with my shit or anyone else’s shit then rock on.”

“I dont think people should be taking transportation advice from me.”

This reads like incel copium.

Lol you think Melania let’s trump have sex with her?

I’d put money on that not having happened in years.

Aaaaand blocked.

When will we all be in the same page that our president is a Russian Assets and deliverately is acting contrary to the interests of our country?

Like how much more blatant does it gotta get?

What do you mean?

He’s clearly a level headed guy. Mentally stable.
