unfortunately I’ve come to the conclusion that nearly half of this nation is comprised of idiots.

it’s fucking absurd where we are 12 days from the election. the fix is in, and those who claim to love this country, clearly hate it. I don’t care what happens in the election, this nation is cooked.

for my first job one of the responsibilities was cleanup after the overnight bakery shift. I used to have to clean out a walk-in oven, usually still warm, always freaked me out a little. That poor, poor girl, that poor, poor family. Simply terrible and tragic.

truth be told, the only reason I would be even remotely interested in the device is the stupid laser projector. Seems like that might be fun to play with.

I can’t say I’m surprised, harris has blown the narrative. but I am saddened by the fact that Arabs think turnip is a better option, I think it’s a plain as day what he thinks and plans for the next administration. I am feeling very pessimistic these days.

I’d try one for $29.99, that’s about it though.

Thankfully mine wasn’t surgery, just a nasty knock to the noggin and subsaquent internal bleeding, but thank you. Up and forward, all we can do. Keep fighting the good fight friend, and keep listening to the right sort of people :)

I’m sorry to hear it but I’m also glad that things are looking up?

Been a rough one sounds like. I too am a year and a half out from a brain injury, thankfully my insurance covered most of it, but it didn’t cover the basement flooding, wife’s layoff or kids braces 😆. Election aside, things are also looking up for me.

In all honesty, take care, sorry you’ve been having troubles. I’m not trying to belittle them with mine, just know that you have friends out there who feel your pain.

Excellent recap, love seeing a similarly obsessed Majority Report fan out in the wild. How’s it going friend?

projection and propeganda, full stop.

as I have climbed higher in the corporate world, this is becoming clearer and clearer. people respond far better to a confident idiot than they do a pensive expert.

nah, you’re thinking of the guy who owns x. like anyone would be dumb enough to destroy that much brand recognition by renaming twitter…

something about this seems familiar. I swear, there was some dude who wanted to buy twitter to prevent this exact sort of thing from happening… wonder what ever happened to that guy?

setting the stage for the next coup attempt?

laws are just threats made by the ruling class

you know, I’ve never heard it stated exactly like this but shit, well said.

good, I’m glad. I saw it in the theater and the biggest thing I took away from it was an appreciation for not having overdone it. just a fun, nostolgic take on an old halloween classic with ultimately low stakes. hit just the right note as far as I’m concerned.

still 100 million is a lowered budget. sheesh.

the grift pays… holy shit.

$100k a MONTH

Wasn’t it 100k a week

well said. money in politics has some pretty awful downstream effects. who’d have ever thunk it…

I swear shit has gotten exponentially worse since I was young. For example, last year I suffered a brain injury, I have about a month of missing memory. During that month, my homeowners association sent notice that they were being sold to another management company and the autopay I’d been using for 5 years would be cancelled. I missed this notice due to being in the hospital with brain damage and so never got new payment switched over.

I’m used to companies being gracious and working with their customers. Instead I had a lawyer sicked on me and the paperwork to forclose my house was started. I wound up having to pay all their legal fees and penalties which was an order of magnitude more than the actuall missed payments.

This was the most painful one recently but this is par for the course. Someone else said it in this thread but it’s become a real dog eat dog world, something that used to be a folksy saying has now become a harsh reality.
