Oh, they’re going to pay you? With what money? From what job?

I’m not clicking on some random YT video for you. Use your words.

I’d like to workshop how to make climbing Everest uncool amongst the stupid rich.

We’re not criticizing “as Americans”, we’re criticizing as humans. And, we have the right to do that. Whether anyone else will listen because we happen to have been born in, and can’t leave, and perhaps don’t fully support our country is out of our control. I think you’ll find that plenty of Americans are harshly critical of the country they live in, as is true of everyone, everywhere.

Gotta do something to boost computer literacy amongst the youth.

“It’s like wiping a marker.”

If they had asked, the answer would have been “Yes. Yes, we should.”

I’m not in this picture, and I’m happy about it.

I mean, they could have just spelled it out, too.

“short and salty”

So, much like a cock.

Winner winner! Chicken dinner!

What could go wrong?

Jokes aside, no. I don’t think I’d do it for $100 million. I seriously don’t.

The justifications y’all are providing don’t work for me. Maybe it’s because I have a son, and I can imagine he would be the one to die, then I remember everyone is the child of someone, or the friend, etc.

I will not be the knowing cause of the death of some random person just for money. You guys can have it. No, thank you.

I maxed out my donation to Bernie and voted for him. In the 40 years I’ve been voting, I’ve never voted for a conservative, or Republican, neither federal, state nor local. I’ve always voted as far left as I can.

Bernie pin:

As a boomer-adjacent 60-year-old, with an adult son living at home, it’s the economy, stupid.

But, more than that, the world has gone to shit. And, no, that’s not the boomer generation’s fault. It’s the fault of the billionaires and the ignorant people of all generations who have voted for conservatives over the past 50 years.

Except none of it is for tall anymore. It used to be, years ago when they first started this, I could get size LT in the store for two dollars more, and they were a little longer. I still have a couple in my closet. Not anymore. “Big and tall” is only big now, and that means 3XL+ shirts, that are still too short. Of course, if I wear a 3XL shirt, it does hang lower, because it fits like a tent.

I read about MK Ultra, and that is some weird, fucked up shit. Also, most of the records were destroyed, so who knows what else they got up to? Fucking monsters.

The not-Republicans seem less hell-bent on destroying everything for some accelerationist ideology. That’s about all I see. I think if we can get a progressive, perhaps AOC in office, and it’s possible to save us, she’ll not hold back, having seen how Trump used the office. That’s my only hope of not having a violent revolution someday, but I think there will be many years, probably decades of disasters to live through first.

14-year-old me would not be impressed, but 24-year-old me would be.

The difference is experience and understanding what the hell we’re all up against.

I’ve only heard people say “umm”, never “ermm”. Do people actually say “ermm”? Because, I’ve been seeing “ermm” in subtitles lately, even when the actor clearly said “umm”.

Is it a regional thing?
