I say this as an old person, that’s hypocritical bullshit, but that’s humans for you.

Spent 10 years driving around in a city with a lot of retirement communities setting up home medical equipment. Was a daily blight for me.

Should be every 2 years past age 60.
Sorry, for every 20 year old doing 90, there’s ten seniors wobbling between 2 lanes in a giant SUV about to do a double lane change in the opposite direction of their blinker that’s been on since they left their driveway.
Ive always found it bonkers that young drivers with the sharpest reflexes are punished to the maximum from insurance to rental car rates while no one dares punitive action against people who literally lack the faculties to drive safely if they wanted to.
- Comment on Me if I had th emoney 1 week ago:
Of course we would we’d just have more!
And buy really expensive ketchups for it… Like Dijon ketchup!

I take great solace in knowing that for all the dirty tricks we play on one another to fuck each other over and get moar, greed made climate chage itself cannot be bribed, discredited, scapegoated, cut in, threatened, me tood, or divided into attacking itself.
I feel bad for all the innocent species we’re taking with us, and the ecosystem for the next 2 or so million years while the earth recovers from us as it has with other runaway metastatic mistakes of evolution that threatened the hole, see the trees of the carboniferous period, but Im glad our reign of terror on this world, the creatures on it and each other will end soon, and no amount of human bullshitting will save us.

Another daily reminder that the straights, myself included, are not Ok.

So your solution to fascism is to… concede to the hatreds of the fascists.
So the Democrats would be different… how then? Dems and Republicans are both bribed to burn society to fuel economic metastasis at all costs, the only thing that separates them at this point are affirmation ribbons you can’t eat, wear, or live in(D), and stoking hatred through scapegoating® on the social policy side.
If the Democrats get on board with the scapegoating, what are we even voting for anymore? The ONLY reason I vote for them is the harm reduction of not preaching hate as they allow mass homelessness, growing wealth inequity, and defend entire market sectors that have become murderous confidence schemes along with their Republican buddies across the aisle.
Your kind of pragmatism is why we have no real opposition party to the Republicans. Your kind of pragmatism has already brought us to hell.

It really is better to be destroyed by Trump and fascism standing for what’s right, that being empathetic and logical, than to cowtow to his demands.
Better to die on your feet than live on your knees. I won’t be the equivalent of a German who provides silent, obedient consent as they dehumanize the gypsies/Jews/disabled.

When you’re immortal, compound interest really does become miraculous.
- Comment on How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy? 2 months ago:
Especially the type that Trump attracts.
Or any corpo bribe taking politician for that matter, nearly all of them in both parties at the federal level.
In the US, selfishness is a requisite for success. Living an ethical, empathetic life in the United States is a fast track to dying of exposure in a cardboard box under a freeway.

I’m all for ragging on the boomers for the shitstorm of cruelty, greed, and ignorance they’ve made.
But this is just another era’s assorted cables drawer.

I get it, the pitcher represents the dichotomy of good and evil!

Oh wow, I just took them as cowards/selfish fucks that said not their problem.
- Comment on The US is actually going to implement a nationwide abortion ban and the measures for how it's gonna be handled are already in the works 5 months ago:
I voted for Harris to try to prevent these horrors out of harm reduction.
But the Neoliberals haven’t given us anything to vote for for half a century.
Good cop neoliberals with affirmation ribbons/bad cop Fascists with scapegoats, both for human beings dying in the streets in droves as a threat to laborers to produce for their shared donors.
A vote for democrats is a vote for quiet slaughter, a vote for Republicans is a vote for loud, braggadocious slaughter. We don’t get a vote for peace. We don’t get a vote on the economy. Only the social wedges that don’t meaningfully effect quarterly earnings expectations.
Luigi tried showing us who our shared enemy is, and it isn’t their middle managers in DC.
- Comment on So why did we stop worshiping the sun? 5 months ago:
Has it tried threatening potential converts?
Works gangbusters for for the most popular religions.
Hell, they usually steal your defining characteristic to threaten followers with: 🔥🔥🔥.

Why do I feel like we’re about to do a whole Third Reich thing?
- Comment on Here goes another week of making money for the worst of us. 5 months ago:
That’s the thing though, if they turn things into an overt police state against the masses, they’ll start losing the current ignoramuses who still think everything is fine.
If they escalate, they give their exploited capital batteries reason to escalate. Part of their whole grift is convincing their victims that we’re a society and class war is unseemly. Retina scans, armed security, and bars between us and them makes them look even more like the enemies of the people. Please escalate, oligarchs, we need more of your rubes to see who you are more clearly.
This dystopia of propaganda based servitude where they use their media to turn us on one another using social wedges to maintain control only continues to work if they don’t start looking like the Corpo fascist empire that they are.

Always an excuse, by design.
- Comment on 2025 trailer be wild 6 months ago:
Yeah, the ACA, a heritage foundation conceived health care bandaid that further enshrined for profit health insurance vultures into American Healthcare was the best thing the DNC could do last time they had a supermajority.
The DNC and the RNC take the same orders from the same bribers, defend their grift economy from us.
- Comment on 2025 trailer be wild 6 months ago:
The reason we don’t have any faith in government is because big corpo bought it because Reagan sold in and convinced both parties to keep it sold ever since.
Since the beginning of civilization, to know who’s to blame, you need only look at the richest fucks profiting most from it. The well bribed, revolving door middle managers in DC ain’t it.
Tolerance of greed, private shareholders demanding a firesale to good the next quarter, growth/metastasis at all costs instead of equilibrium, the capital markets are what have destroyed us.

As if Hollywood hasn’t been completely monopolized and enshittified to the point that they seem incapable of making anything worth watching.

I mean yeah in a crude sense.
But serial killer tours are booming, there’s like 5 different jack the ripper tour companies in London.
Like it or not, people appreciate the craft. Plus the most successful serial killers in history can’t hold a candle to a lot of capitalists that get puff pieces in Forbes killing their customers to increase profit. And don’t get me stated on governments.
Serial killers are amateurs when it comes to mass murder. Rookie numbers.

I made up a thought experiment in my teens:
If someone made noteriety by setting explosives in multiple victims bedrooms and set them off at exactly the same moment, would they become known as a parallel killer?

He’ll be laid off in 2 weeks for asking for a raise, as workers should be there for the love of their job and not the paycheck, per the capitalist owner who would drown a bus full of orphans if it lowered their tax bill.
- Comment on Alec Baldwin's Rust Case Is Over, Prosecutor Drops Manslaughter Appeal 6 months ago:
Very much disagree. This was the responsibility of the firearms master and barring that the prop master.
As an actor on a professional set, it would be irresponsible to mess with a potentially dangerous prop in a way not indicated the individual in charge of it. It could be a specialized gun modified in such a way that trying to remove a round makes a specialized effect charge go off. Way to go Alec. Now we need to take a 2 hour break as the prop master fixes your fuck up when you were supposed to set off that smoke charge pulling the trigger.
It’s the actor’s job to get into the moment and act, there are other roles explicitly in charge of on set safety. Their prop master failed at their job.
