Me? A human? Yeah. I have. Do you not think a horse feels more love from another horse than it does its human owner?

Clueless…

Humans are not special or unique, except in their ability to ruin everything around them. Though I suppose wild hogs do that pretty good, and if we want to get technical cancers might compete with us in our ability to fuck up our own host…

Haven’t told anyone this and it’s peanuts compared to other stories, but I was driving home the other night and had to stop quickly at a red light. I didn’t “have” to but it was that perfect timing of “do I squeeze through and the guy turning left shakes his fist, or do I stop (noone behind or in front of me) and just chill.”

So I stopped, and holy shit an 8’ square tube of steel I’d had strapped to the rack of my truck launched itself into the intersection, clattering to the ground 30’ away.

Nobody noticed. Not the lady in the lane to my right, not anyone driving cross traffic (they all started driving by it like it wasn’t there) and not even the guys coming towards me turning left, who did drive over it.

I could have killed someone. If there had been a car in front of me I could have been the villian in a real life horror movie… Like that video of the guy who’s mother gets killed in the passenger seat beside him when a brick comes through the windshield.

I don’t believe in God. But fuck me, if I never win a lottery ticket or raffle or even a coin toss again I’ll still consider myself damn fucking lucky.

Stupid. And there wasn’t a reason for it… I checked those straps before I left that day. Something about the rain and I don’t know what caused it to come loose. But I didn’t have to be carrying that thing around. I was just lazy and storing it there until I could use it.

I’m sorry to everyone. And I’m so lucky noone was hurt.

Lol you had so many truely excellent arguments to make about our technological prowess or our society building abilities and you chose love? Dude my cat loved me more this afternoon snoozing on the couch with me than I’ve felt from all of humanity minus my own partner, mother father sister and brother. Ever.

Thank you for taking the time. I find it interesting that it is so important in some cultures for the woman to take the husband’s name, and yet in this example there seems to be zero problems with it …

I’d like to pile on. You don’t owe them an apology and you don’t owe them an unapology. You are done wasting your time on them and if they ever come around like "you know, I think I finally accept your apology " you can think to your self “oh my no, get fucked” and you can inform them with… Radio silence

Sadly Canada also has never elected a woman to that position. We had one via retirement/internal leadership ballot very briefly as often happens when things go in the shitter and no man wants to take the job because it’s a Kobayashi Maru. She and her party were then obliterated. Not because their policies were shit and Canada was tired of them, but because you can’t have a woman Prime Minister.

I am unsure how much or what part of that needs a ~s

That’s something I didn’t know. Do you have time to explain how that works in China? Or if there’s a good video essay on the subject I’d take that.

This is the buried lead. When I found out there was a Mrs. Columbo and it was Kate Mulgrew… I’m still wrestling with the reality I exist within…

Ah but hopefully he IS the last, at least on this thread, so he’s actually right!

"Keep an eye on the pennies and the dollars will look after themselves "

Thanks for that.

I found that article very confusing to read.

Wish I could just wake up and it not be true.

But it is. Oh it is.

Thank you for sou g the leg work.

Is there a YouTube video that explains to me how we can’t know who sent those texts. Somebody paid for that number (not the spoofed number, they actually had to have one to be connected to the lines right?). How can spoofing happen without the carrier knowing/enabling? Your carrier used their lines to deliver it to you. How is this not trackable?

I want a 1h26 minute Technology Connections or whoever, because this has never made sence to me.

Would he? Honest question I’m not sure how at would work if Trump was imprisoned or died before taking office.

He did tweet that.

When Biden dropped out and I txtd my other half to tell him he txtd best “Ohno! What about all the Biden/Trump Jail/Whitehouse coins?!?!”

I agree. Nearly every lyric in that song, when isolated, sounds fine and agreeable. Even when he attacks people on welfare “if you’re 5’- 3 and 300lbs, taxes ought not to pay, for your bags of fudge rounds.” Isn’t wrong.

Taxes shouldn’t be used by fat cats to get fatter. But he isn’t saying that. He is punching down and attacking a group of people who are suffering in “the new world” just like him, and a fucking bag of cookies is one of the few joys they can still aquire. He could have chosen to attack the elite, even if he only meant the ones to the North. He didn’t.

“It’s a damn shame, what the world’s gotten to, for people like me, and people like you.”

Sounds great. Now picture his audience. Who are they, and who are they thinking of when they hear that line?

This song is called “Richmen North of Richmond.” It’s the Northerner’s fault all these bad things are happening.

It’s that movie with Rowdy Piper and the glasses. You have to put them on to see the whole message. Dog whistling at its finest.

If he had made a few small changes it could have been a powerful pro-worker lament and I would be playing it to death. Instead it was #11 on Trump’s “Standing on the stage for 44 minutes swaying back and forth because America is so easy to con so why not?”

It’s a damn shame.

I’m with you Cheese, the vibe was “just report that you weren’t here so you aren’t supporting genocide.”
