You have been playing too much rainbow six. There are no good guys in the halls of power looking after us.

There are only the rich fucks over here and the rich fucks over there pulling the levers of power.

It’s the only rational course of action we have left for them. They would be insane not to try. I don’t know if they will succeed. Mosad seems all powerful, but they will certainly try.

I would hang out with me. I would play boardgames and learn about obscure subjects that I am interested in.

I would have trouble coordinating schedules with myself.

It’s terrifying in many ways.

Millennial, briefly experienced a life with limited access to information.

You are capable of more than you think. You wrote phone numbers down and memorized your own. You memorized the ones you used regularly. I had 7-8 friends and family numbers memorized.

You also only needed one phone number per household.

When you needed to know something like how to fix a car or replace a light bulb you asked someone. Often An uncle, aunt, or cousin. If nobody in your friends/family group knew, you went to the library.

Yellow pages and magazines and instruction manuals were constantly floating around with information. I never felt deprived of curiosity. I read a lot.

Hope she feels good about providing a meal to a face-eating leopard.

Katy Perry. She got brain rot from dating Russel Brand.

They are not our ally and you are arguing a strawman.

I suspect that when the holiday was getting going, it was spread by music, and “July 4th” doesn’t carry the lyric … Utility of “fourth of July”

The phrase “Born on, the fourth of, July!” Is buried in my consciousness but I can’t name the song or any other lines to go with it.

They will scrape us for training data.

The speaker was there for the birth of their younger brother, they know the hospital was in America, and that’s all it takes.

Their older brother was already alive when they were born, so their brother, parents, and the government could be lying about older brother, which, by nessesity, means the parents aren’t American either.

It’s implying that anything you didn’t witness personally you can’t be certain.

When they started saying I shouldn’t exist.

You think they were paying a decent, livable wage?

REPUBLICANS in Congress have abdicated their constitutional duties. A few Democrats are collaborating.

“Though it’s also possible that public schools will close and only the wealthy kids will be well-educated… can we not, please?”

Trump and Republicans would like nothing more than to turn this country into another Russia where your kids have to pay through the nose go abroad to get a decent education.

Brave New World? No, the rulers aren’t that benevolent.

1984? Still no, they aren’t that competent.

We are heading for fareinheit 451.

This is a reference to communist revolutions in Cuba, China, and the Soviet Union, and to a lesser extent Venezuela.

Dictators took power in violent revolutions and they did succeed in redistributing wealth but at the cost of thousands to millions of lives, most of whom were civilians.

“The rich co-opted being against rich, corporate landlords-- or any rich individuals-- from overseas buying local properties and contributing to housing crisis as “racist.”

It’s not racism. It’s classism. I don’t care care if the rich out of town asshole is white, brown or yellow, I care that they are a rich asshole and they are wrecking things for the rest of us.

I use one.

That’s some Grade A denial right there.
