And it gets worse as they get older.

I have friends and relatives that used to be people. They used to have thoughts and feelings. They had convictions and reasons for those convictions.

Now, I have conversations with some of these people I’ve known for 20 and 30 years and they seem exasperated at the idea of even trying to think about something.

It’s not just complex topics, either. You can ask him what they saw on a recent trip, what they are reading, or how they feel about some show and they look at you like the hospital intake lady from Idiocracy.

If it went viral and people started retweeting it, putting on posters, and getting it in the news, you might get deported.

Yes. In many ways, China is exactly what Republicans wet dream about. A single party runs unopposed controlling all elements of government. Criticizing them is illegal. All businesses are protected by the government from uppity customers. Employees are expected to work 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. 6 days a week for few benefits with almost no workers rights…

It’s the Republican dream.

In America, our system works like this:

The police will shoot you, maybe burn your house or neighborhood down, steal everything you own, Lock you up without charges, and then if you can ever afford a lawyer to sue them you might get out of jail only to find the burned-out hole in the ground you used to live in was sold to a property developer and none of the money found its way to you.

You also owe tens of thousands of dollars in back taxes on the burned down house for the time you were in jail, but all of the money for selling the house was given to some scam artist who knew you wouldn’t be able to stop them.

You can’t afford to go to the doctor, but a third of your income is spent on health insurance. It takes 2 hours of work to afford a dozen eggs. You no longer have a car because they towed it from your driveway while you were locked up and you can’t even afford to get it out of impound despite the fact that every day the cost of storing the vehicle goes up by more than you earn.

This country is a fucking nightmare for so many people.

They were both extremely bad candidates who should not have been in a position to run. If the party had been allowed to speak they would not have been allowed to run.

They weren’t really candidates that failed on their own merits, they were set up to fail by being put into a position they should never have been in.

Neither Hillary nor Kamala could have won a primary that wasn’t rigged in their favor. Since they didn’t get to their position as candidate based on their own merits, it’s reasonable to describe their failure in similar terms.

That said, there is such a thing as more than 100% blame, and this is a situation where A lot of people have a lot of blame. Those two women are 100% responsible for the stupid decisions they made. No one can take that failure away from them, but because of the nature of the mistake, there were a lot more people who should also be blamed and similarly excommunicated from politics.

There are elements of sexism here, but that’s just endemic to politics. They didn’t fail because of sexism, they got to where they were because of it and were set up to fail by it, but there are a lot of problems here beyond and before sexism.

Three times I have left a job only for the business to close up shortly after.

In high school I worked at a video game store, I worked 40 hours a week. We went through a lot of managers during the year or so I worked there, but at the end we had this manager that was just stealing from everybody’s register. He would give you like $5 to tell you to go buy a couple of burgers in the food court and then would just steal money out of the register using your employee number. We caught wise to it and would count down our registers and then at the end of the day we would call into corporate and tell them how much money we think he stole from our register. All of the cashiers were fired or quit when they saw others getting fired, The manager was promoted, and 2 months later the store was closed for almost 6 months before it got completely rebranded.

When I was in college I worked at a restaurant 7 days a week. I prepped food and washed dishes. When I told my boss I needed to go down to 6 days a week so that I could spend a day helping my mother he decided to close the restaurant down one day a week. When I tell my boss I needed to go down to 5 days from 6 days, he closed the restaurant another day each week. When I finally quit, the restaurant remained open for 4 more months before it was shut down completely.

After college I went to go work at a laboratory. I started as a janitor, talk to myself into maintenance responsibilities and eventually started and managed a CAD/CAM department. When I finally got fed up for getting paid in pocket lint and praise I gave them 30 days notice and was fired 14 days into it. The business closed its doors 90 days later.

Now I’ve just started a new job, I was at my old job for 5 years and was responsible for about 65% of the work on a day-to-day basis. My friend that I got a job there is looking for the exit and when he leaves I don’t think they have any choice but to just turn off the lights and go home.

They don’t call it the civil war in the South, they call it the war of Northern aggression.

… And that tells you all you really need to know about them and the quality of education these kids are receiving.

Planting trees who shade they will never sit in!

Union busting, lavish funding for genocide, corporate tax cuts, no healthcare plan, increased funding for police, pro-fracking, pro-drilling, 'tough on immigration ', etc etc

That’s actually the Thomas Wayne that becomes Batman from The flashpoint timeline!

A rich guy dressing up in body armor and going around beating up poor people to fight systemic corruption is the most believable part of the whole Batman franchise. In his original incarnation he had a gun too.

This is exactly what I’m talking about.

Can you think of any media that has been edited or will be edited?

I love archiving stuff and whether it’s the aired only once episode of Rocco’s modern Life, several episodes of it’s always Sunny in Philadelphia, the TNG episode “Ensign Ro”, or anything else!

I’m wondering what is on your list of stuff you know to have been or will be censored?

I think people really misunderstand how differently people are affected by things. Putting drugs aside, people can have completely different reactions to regular food or mundane environmental conditions like dust and humidity.

I know a lot of people that enjoy cannabis and if you go one at a time and ask them what they enjoy about it, you get a huge variety of answers. Some of the things people say the get from it will be directly contradicting other things that other people say they get from it.

“It calms me down!” vs “it gets my creative juices flowing” “It settles my stomach” vs “it makes me nauseous” “It makes boring stuff exciting!” Vs “it makes me content doing nothing.” And a thousand other reactions people have to it.

For some people pot gives them anxiety attacks, for other people pot eliminates their anxiety attacks. I think it’s foolish to expect people to have the same or even similar experiences as each other when consuming substances.

I know plenty of people that don’t like grapefruit, I love that shit. You do you!

When the price bottoms out it becomes a cheap mobile power wall!

They have already not done this with Putin or Netanyahu.

There is a less than zero chance they will do this with a sitting American president. No one’s coming to save us from him we’re going to have to do it ourselves.

That was a particularly fun read.

Apparently it’s a circular horn triangle!

I don’t want them to have to wade through the advertising and tracking nightmare that is the internet. PI-hole and tail scale alongside some other equipment can keep them safe from that crap.

The first rule of acquisition: “Once you have their money, never give it back.”

Just look at the extra sales tax in Indianapolis, Indiana compared to the rest of the state. The stadium the tax was created to pay for has long since been paid for, retired, bulldozed and replaced.

Or transition…

I hope that removing it is next to impossible because it breaks down into tiny little wispy shreds, I also hope the adhesive strips the stainless clear coat.

I really hope that everybody who bought one of those cars has the worst possible experience someone can have with the vehicle. It seems designed to give them that and I for one look forward to it. I hope the price on them drops so low that they’re barely worth the price of a battery… I wouldn’t mind owning one of them to repurpose as a power wall.
