    Hey all, hoping for some advise [sic] and direction here.

    I was out on the lawn flapping my arms for about an hour, but I still wasn’t flying. I told gravity that as a supersentient being of virtue true I was no longer constrained by any mechanics quantum or admantium.

    I think I got off the ground a couple of times, but obviously gravity can’t understand what I’m saying or else I’d be over Des Moines by now. My FreeFlight™ air wings have been ordered but I should still be able to defeat the laws of physics with my Natural Brane, right? Anyone done this already who can help??!

      Ah, it’s because you haven’t read my book “Newton’s Lie: How Big Gravity is Keeping Us Down”. It’s only $199.99 on my website. You’ll also get a 50% discount for a subscription to my monthly podcast “What Birds Don’t Want You To Hear”, so it’ll only be $39.99 per month.

        Those are great resources. Just don’t forget to come to my website where I sell all the parts for firearms, bombs, and stills but no firearms, bombs, or stills to purchase the paperwork you need to fly over the US as a Natural Flyer. We prepare it all for you so that you don’t have to worry.

        If Big Gravity didn’t illegally hold down the truth, your book would fly off the shelves (literally).

      You actually were flying over Des Moines. Your brane just wasn’t ready to see it yet. Keep working on it. Gravity isn’t holding you back at all. It’s just the conditioning you’ve been brainwashed with.

      It’s awesome how they offload a bunch of paperwork to others, involving the president of the institution and their HR department and who knows how many other people to deal with their crazy bullshit.

    I was there at the birth of the interwebs, also a very early adopter. Still, I never considered it to be a force multiplier for stupidity in the way things worked out. I went the other way, believing that it would harness humanity’s genius.

    I tend to be wrong a lot.

      Letting all the village idiots get together and create echo chambers to support their idiocy was a bit of mistake, in hindsight.

        It also puts everyone on a level platform. A doctor that has been practicing for 20 years speaking about medical issues is placed right next to Joe Bob that keeps getting fired from every gas station in town, who also has his own thoughts on medical issues.

      I too was there, but it wasn’t until the antivaxxers started on Livejournal that I realized how backwards things could get, that was 2006 or so.

      It’s both, really. It amplifies everything, both good and bad. There are a lot of amazing things that have come about because of the Internet, as well as a lot of awful shit. It’s easy to overlook the good stuff and only see the shit.

    I would be so embarrassed to bring my employer into this shit. Of course I wouldn’t get into it to begin with, but I don’t get how these people have no shame or sense of how they’re coming across.

      The American state national ones seem an eensy bit more educated than the Moors. That does not make them smart though.

      Not completely correct, but close enough as to come across as being a normal person.

    What’s most frustrating (to me) is that they cost others money by making them pay lawyers to look at their bullshit paperwork and make sure they aren’t liable. They already waste people’s time. But the cost of a lawyer indemnifying them (the employer) is just disgusting.

    Mother fucker doesn’t know how to put 0 on his W-2 and file your own taxes at the end of the year. Don’t recommend it unless you really keep track of how much money you make and can pay the lump sum at the end of the year.

      It’s not that the employer isn’t paying taxes/pocketing the taxes, it’s that the SovCit is filling out nonsense “forms” saying they’re exempt from paying their taxes… which they’re not exempt, they’re just a dumbass that thinks being a sovereign citizen means they aren’t subject to the restrictions of living within the borders of the US and can say the right magic words to get their way.

        Thanks for the explanation! Apparently my misunderstanding of the messages horribly offended at least 11 people who felt the need to downvote me instead of just telling me why I was wrong so I’ll probably just delete the comment though lol

          This is why I hate the downvote system. It’s way too easy to think UHH POST BAD and smack the down arrow like a trained monkey, and comparatively “difficult” to actually explain why you disagree… even though that explanation could help many other readers, including commenters like you who are willing to learn.
